The creationist organizing the protests is threatening to bring in a militia to thwart installation of the Darrow statue, which she calls an insult to God and Christians. It will take a lot more than that, though, to stop Americans’ growing acceptance of evolution and apparent shift away from the strict creationist view of the origin of the species."
Statue of Guy One: probably a lot of dollars
Statue of Guy Two: probably a lot of dollars
Defending any statue when the Word of God forbids statues ... priceless
No surprise, really. Revelation predicts that Man will go further and further from God. The latter days are approaching fast.
If you really believed in God you'd realize separation is impossible.
One wonders just how long the "approaching fast" will take....
Yeah, I'll be 40 this year and already "survived" at least half a dozen apocalypses. As the test for being a false prophet is being wrong, I have to wonder how many times one is wrong before the label is applied.
"He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority."
I will laugh like you cannot believe if God canceled it millennia ago.
I have to wonder at people so desperate to see innocent people die.
To think that one is a part -- albeit a small part perhaps -- of a cosmic battle between good and evil that will very soon come to a head in an apocalypse is far more emotionally satisfying to people who lives are otherwise mundane and dreary than is the notion that changing diapers and making mortgage payments are the high points of their day and month.
This. It's the dream of both unbelievably spoiled brats with no real problems and destitute people desperate for relief.
They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."
And yet people keep falling for it. There is no such thing as an "End". There is only "Change."
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
I've often seen demons claiming Jesus is Christ is proof he is divine. So, these people are trusting DEMONS to tell them the truth about a character barely there in his own stories.
If this were a novel, you would not enjoy the ending, but I shall.
I dunno. I dislike stories where self-righteous jerks get rewarded.
No one believed him either.....we can wait.
It wouldn't have mattered, as Noah doesn't exactly build an Ark meant for a ton of people AND everything else plus the kitchen sink. What's the point of accepting a ticket to a sold-out concert?
Oh, but we have to build more and more places for worship because we keep running out of room.
So lots of people are going through a really wide gate ...?
We can no longer rely on Saddam Hussein to seduce him...
