Yeah... ummm.. you never got back to me on the John Rylands Fragment... dated 125 - 135 AD... has verses from John on it. Please provide your...
Not a problem. There is a ton of stuff out there on the subject, but it's a mixed bag due to poor categorical distinctions between the differing...
Sorry it took me so long. I, unfortunately, don't have time to write up my own take on it, but here is the introduction to the basic ideas....
Fair enough. But there are a few points that make a prophecy more like a prophecy and less like a guess. 1) Time frame. Christ gave a specific...
I am not going to try and challenge you FedUp, but I wanted to ask you about this. In Matthew 24, Jesus is speaking about the temple and he...
FedUp, I'll ask this question: How do you respond to Preterists on the "second coming"? If you need me to explain the preterist position (both...
I would say: 100% accuracy with predictive prophecy. Some of which was very specific. The more unbelievable, the better. And nothing self...
No, I am sorry to say that I don't. Can you define truth for me so that I may better understand?

Yeah, like choosing to claim to be God in a culture where blasphemy was a capital crime (for the Romans too. A God would never kneel to Caesar......
If you'll have me, count me in. [img]
I don't like posting links as answers, but this is a relatively short article that gives what I think is a really good answer to this question....
Like Burbot, I see the question as largely irrelevant. I am not a creationist per se because I don't really worry about the question. However, I...
I don't know about UFO's but I believe in zombies... how else do you explain this thread coming back from the dead?! :p
I commend you on your faith. Unfortunately, since you will not listen to reason, we may as well stop here. I appreciate your comments and thank...
Metaphor and literal can be mixed in the same sentence. We do it all the time. My question is why you assume that the entire passage was not...
So can you justify switching from metaphor at the beginning of the verse to literal at the end? Is this type of fast-switching between metaphor...
That's because you have a poor hermenuetic, inconsistent interpretation, and a dependency on futurism to validate your faith. Either way, let's...
Separate names with a comma.
