An Oklahoma state legislator recently showed that the "Christians" against abortion were nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites. He stated that he had a bill which would severely curtail abortion. These "Christians" were strongly supportive until he told them that those mothers of legal age who...

I appreciate your comment, Major1, but I find it to be nothing more than what I was taught for many, many years. I, too, was taught that you can't disagree with the laws of grammar. As I point out in my blog, if this were not God's Word, that "of the prince that shall come" could just as well...

I realize that the debate over the antecedent of "he" has raged for centuries, which would, I maintain, be idiocy were it not for the theological implications. I believe that the preterists were, on this occasion, very correct, but, with their assumption that Daniel's seventieth week ended three...

We're selling our home and moving to Titusville (?). Wife has asthma and wants to be nearer the water. Keep in touch. Or, rather, I'll let you know when we're closer to selling.

I live fairly close to Puerto Rico (Orlando) and have had Puerto Rican students. Ran across one store clerk who pronounced it correctly. Strange.

We expect a friend to "watch our back." If we are in danger, we expect him to warn us. Naturally, we would do the same for him. Consider the pastor. Are we not "his flock"? If a congregant was to interrupt his sermon to whisper that an escaped lion was seen in the neighborhood, we would expect...

HonestTruth, it sounds very much like the situation in The Philippines. But, that generation of Filipinos has died off and the young don't know their history. The USA does a good job of teaching the young. Many Japanese young people, for instance, believe that it was those nasty Russians who...

Yes, religious pride and stubbornness can account for much of the recalcitrance, but I was hoping someone could provide a more rational explanation. I, too, appreciate the clarity right division has brought to my study. I'm in my 79th year. I'm concerned, though, when you say things like "I...

Right division churches generally hold the King James translators in high regard. Certainly, these were highly intelligent men with great mastery of the Bible languages. And, if you believe, as I, that man loses basic intelligence with every generation (Second Law of Thermodynamics), their...

I was referring to those...usually reformed theologians...who attempt to extend time, and include all sorts of fanciful "decrees," in order to justify their beliefs.

I have no reason to question your knowledge in the field of quantum physics. I would question the knowledge of the speaker I heard. He was making statements...definitive statements...regarding the work of those in your field. This is commonly done and the audience is left to trust the veracity...

The "proof" for which I'm looking is book, chapter, and verse.

And how do they know this? That's my point. At any given time...in their "now"...they have no proof. They can't quote chapter and verse. If others aren't around them, they have no proof that this isn't because the Rapture has just occurred. I know that sounds like something from one of those...

The last two posts were interesting and touch upon the main reason for existence (yeah, I know the French phrase, but, at this particular time, we'd better know what this country is all about) of the church which I attend. It's a "right division" church, which means that it recognizes the...

No, that doesn't work either (Revelation 6:17 and 7:1 and First Thessalonians 5:9).

Are you saying, then, that the signs in the heavens occur twice?

That's correct, Richard. I was merely repeating that which is so strongly believed among those who have accepted this relatively new teaching of a pretribulation Rapture. They look at the conditions in the world and proclaim that the Rapture must be imminent.
