I don't want to be selfish, but I'd appreciate knowing that someone has prayed for me. My situation is delicate, and it has me pretty worried at the moment. Today I need a fellow Christian to mention me in a prayer. Thank you in advance, Alex

Well, I sure agree that they are corrupt. :amen: I think every politician in the world leaves his conscience and morals at the door when they come to work. We can't do anything to change that. But being corrupt is a long way to being the anti-Christ. I'm sure you realize it that countless...

What is the definition of "spam," unbreakablelight? It irritates me to have to see you assassinate the character of different public figures. I don't know where you're from, but in many countries, this constitutes libel, an actionable offense. And what's the deal with totally random, irrelevant...

I'm sorry that I missed your point. I understand what you say now, about the reference being to the land of Magog, not the people. Still, if these people were displaced in the 11th century AD (long after the writing of the prophet, and long before today), what makes you certain that it isn't...

Nuclear weapons in the hands of a Muslim government doesn't scare me at all -- Pakistan has nuclear weapons and nobody makes noise about that. This is the tried-and-true tactic of scaring people -- "if Muslims get a hold of nukes, they'll use them on the Western world for sure." The same was...

And you avoided my presentation of who laid the foundation for this problem. I'm not a strategist of any kind, and don't pretend to have right ideas. But there are two ways that I can see for the US government to "deal" with the Taliban: 1: Do what the Soviet army did in the '80s, and...

You can start by never referring to human beings as "rats." It helps to understand that American foreign policy short-sightedness has everything to do with the current situation in Afghanistan. Yes, it's a group effort, in that American politicians like Zbignew Brzezinski breed terrorists to...

hiscosmicgoldfish, if you don't mind me saying what I think, everyone's opinion on the end-times issues is only an opinion. I don't spend hardly any time here on the "Eschatology" forum, but when I do come in, I'm bothered by people's detailed, point-by-point interpretations of prophecies. The...

I think you're right. The problem isn't the facts, but people's ancient perceptions about exorbinantly giant cars being "the safe choice." And I'm sure the people who are in the business of selling those unreasonably big cars have a hand in advancing that silly idea.

I think that the question, as it is phrased, leaves many people without an appropriate answer. Some of my personal beliefs line up with what American republicans believe, others coincide with what American democrats believe, and on many other issues that the two sides fight about, I couldn't...

... or shoot you in the face with a shotgun. I wonder what would happen if a regular citizen discharged a weapon in another man's face accidentally.

I agree with lemmings. There is no correlation between mass and safety. It's frustrating to listen to people repeating the same myth that an oversized SUV is more safe than a light car. If you're moving at the same speed in either and crash into an immovable object (telephone pole, building...

Hello fellow Oregonian! I hope you're having good weather, as we are here in Klamath Falls. (I think that's a pretty nice thing to wish.)

First, thank you for taking the time to construct a careful and thoughtful explanation. I do appreciate this. It is true that Russian and Ukrainian people first became an organized entity with the Kievan Rus (and even that was established by tribes from the north, not the Scythians from the...

You can't just choose an organization that has eight members and stipulate that this is exactly what the passage is talking about. This is a dishonest and non-serious approach to understanding Biblical prophecy. There are countless theories as to what the horns mean, and yours is one more in...
