I can't read any of those original languages (well, maybe just a little Greek), so I really couldn't say for sure. What you would get from me on that would simply be the repeating of what someone else said about it.

Very few of us will ever know true empathy. Sympathy is about the closest we will ever come.

Some of these posts sound as though we actually think "forgiveness" means we are doing something for THEM.

I have to laugh at the automatic fear of that "terrible" word. You do know that every single one of us are "Preterists" in many of our beliefs, don't you? Part of Revelation is very much for sometime WAY off into the future, but much of it has already happened a thousand years ago..... just as...

Easy folks. I will email all that I have, but unless it is just impossible to do it any other way, I really don't want to get into printing and mailing more than 200 pages to each one of you. Besides, I don't like the idea of anyone putting their physical address on the computer. Something...

In another thread, I offered a whopping amount of questions and comments I have collected concerning this book. Hardly anyone wanted them... and that is cool. But, for the few that expressed interest, I have now completed another project. I have formatted the entire book to MS Word so that it...

Sadly, a worldly view. Thoroughly understandable, but still wholly worldly.

Because of their confrontational and fanatically negative deliveries, most probably do more damage than they do good. "Wretched" is usually a pretty disgusting program, but this one was refreshingly interesting.

You absolutely will not believe some of the comments on this forum!!!! These church people are close to being insane. Craziest 'Clothes Line' or Grooming Teaching you Have Heard | Actscelerate.com

Well, the Jews DID believe in annihilation.

Sad. Every single one of you has to try and change John's words written to living persecuted Christians on the mainland into something that couldn't have possibly meant a thing to the people his letter was actually addressed to...… only to a future generation that wouldn't even be born for...

Yes. It boils down to "Christians dry their clothes with what God supplies." But, as you can imagine, the self-righteous meaning goes much deeper.

I like that....... a reference a lot of people won't catch. :eek:

Frankly, I try to be honest and right up front with unbelievers, and tell them that although all our Bibles do have contradictions translated into them, they are rather inconsequential differences that make little to no changes in one telling, compared to another. Now, where it DOES make a...

Unfortunately, you seem to just be simply trying to sound righteous. You see, not a one of us owns any of those original manuscripts, so when calling a book "The Bible", (when talking to any rational, thinking nonbeliever), you would just be blowing hot smoke since they can take any Bible right...

If you have access to the originals, perhaps. But, none of us do, and none of us has ever read anything but the Bibles we have at our disposal.

I understand that it is a matter of almost Salvation-like proportions for some people to feel they must fight and die on the hill of swearing there are no contradictory statements in the Bible. But we all know we only have to compare the gospels, one to another, to dispel that wishful hope.

And the Bible says they were seven churches formed in seven cities in old Turkey, within a couple of hundred miles of one another. We can "apply" any meaning we may choose to, but they were still just some cities John wrote a letter to. I think this letting our imaginations run wild is why...

Doesn't #8 instantly violate and contradict #7?

I don't like to do this, but it may be too long to post, so I have included a link to the article. This explains what I am saying. Push-ups There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr. Christianson, a studious man who taught at a small college in the Western United States. Dr...
