The problem he faced was that "you just have to have faith" was the only answer he or any person could give because there wasn't a rational answer to the questions.

I don't know how many times I've talked to someone who had questions and was told, in so many words, to "get lost" [no pun intended]; or had questions his pastor/priest couldn't answer.
(Right, Rocky?)
Why don't you just Google it?Nebuchednezzar's dream. You think the feet of clay is the EU?
First, show me what this has to do with the antichrist.
Then, show me how it is the EU.
What's wrong with that?The problem he faced was that "you just have to have faith" was the only answer he or any person could give because there wasn't a rational answer to the questions.

If they are questions like I get, at some point you have to put a stop to the charade.What were the questions?
Yes, you did.
You interpreted certain verses taken out of context and came to a conclusion that is not supported by other verses that you leave out.
Same with your antichrist. Do a Bible search on the term antichrist...you might be surprised.
I don't know how you got the EU...folks around my neck of the woods think it might be Obama...although if it is, he needs to get to it. He's sorta running out of time...
TheBarrd,
I think you'll find that AV is still a Premillenialist ??? As you know there are other views, as there are other views about most things - esp. when it come to Evolution and Creation -- give it a break.
Eh, he's pretty harmless, I guess. As you say...
Yes. I worked with 9 or so brothers and sisters in a band, and we were all from different denominations. There were some subjects that were just not that important to get stuck on, we just focused on the things that were important and got on with the work.
A bus stops and picks up 66 people.
As it's starting its journey, 14 people come running up and jump on.
In the course of the journey, it's clear that those 14 don't belong on the bus.
The bus stops and the 14 are kicked off.
Later, some people claim the 14 belonged on the bus in the first place.
They didn't.
You're asking a KJVO this?One group claims God says certain books should be in the Bible, another group claims God says certain books shouldn't be in the Bible.
How do you determine which to believe?
The Apocrypha can take a hike.I think all Christians should read, if they can, all available scripture, if only to educate themselves as to what else might have been around in ancient times.
Being a Christian should not preclude having a healthy curiosity...
The Apocrypha can take a hike.
I don't need to read stuff like:
- The command to use magic (Tobit 6:5-7).
- Forgiveness of sins by almsgiving (Tobit 4:11; 12:9).
- Offering of money for the sins of the dead (2 Maccabees 12:43-45
If I'm going to educate myself, it certainly isn't going to be with the Apocrypha.I didn't say that you had to accept as doctrine everything you read...only that you should educate yourself as to what the ancients thought and believed.
It's about ideas...it's about keeping an open mind, O Horatio...
Good.But you have misunderstood me. There are still other scriptures out there that were widely read in ancient times that we know little or nothing about.
Good.
If God wanted us to know it, He would have preserved it.
And for the record, I've seen what adhering to other "scriptures" has done to those who think scientifically here.
I don't know how many times I've argued Noah's account of the Flood vis-à-vis the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
Note also:
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Galatians 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Yes, God forbid you actually read and learn something.Via, please save the lenghty verbose replies for someone else.
I'm not interested in ten paragraphs of rebuttal.
