    THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION this is the time of the end

    Not buying it. The whole thing is based on knowing what "burnt offering" is refering to as well as the "abomination that makes desolation". There is no reason to believe either one of the events you refer to is in any way connected to this prophecy. This is why prophecy of all types and all...

    The End is near...or is it?

    So,basically what the bible says just even more vague? Sure, there is some extra stuff tossed in, all of it equally vague and unremarkable. Ah well, guess we'll jsut have to wait longer....

    The End is near...or is it?

    Wow.Just wow. Complete and utter nonsense,that's about all there is to say about that. I know we argue about things that aren't provable one way or another all the time, but when you throw out a statement which is so easily disproved by science(actually shouldn't take anything more than common...

    Birth control and overpopulation.

    Not quite understanding what your saying. Can you rephrase that?

    Birth control and overpopulation.

    Always wondered why prescritions aren't filled right at the doctor or hospital. They are run by the government so therefore the government can enforce whatever policy it wants. I can see how,in a small town with a single pharmacy, refusing to fill prescriptions would cause issue's, but in most...

    Birth control and overpopulation.

    Sure,why not? How long do yo think that particular business would last? I know for a fact that I and most people I know would boycott anyone who refused to sell to any group of people due to racism or bigotry. We don't always need government to make us do the right thing.

    Birth control and overpopulation.

    I actually think Scott Walker has it right on this issue,although not for any religious reason. Lets say I'm a pharmacist and I open my own shop. Maybe I think antibiotics are evil and decide I cannot in good conscience sell them. So what? Why does the governmnent have the right to step in and...

    Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

    I also find that many Christians will accept a God they haven't seen,but reject ET's because they haven't seen them. In the research I have done,there are some pretty compelling evidence for ET life. The witness testimony of various pilots and astronauts is definitley something to ponder. As...

    How hard is it to watch people heading for hell

    There's the rub. See, I was raised christian and followed that teaching for many many years. One of the things that started me questioning and doubting was the people calling themselves "christians". There was no change. Sure,they claimed all sorts of change and on the outside even tried to show...

    Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

    Pretty simple-do you believe in UFO's,aliens,whatever you want to call them? How does this mesh with your religous beliefs,or are your beliefs in ET's in any way influenced by your beliefs or scriptures? I find some passages in the bible to be pretty interesting and sounding very much like a...

    Accuracy of biblical prophecy

    I have a good friend who recently became a Christian and is very vocal and opinionated about it. I'm fine with that, I'm glad he found something that works for him. However, in our discussions, he states something that I have an issue with. We were debating the validity of the Bible as the one...

    Ban the Burqa

    Yep,gotta agree with that. Let them wear what they want,so long as they leave the face uncovered for indentification purposes. I'm all for government staying out of our lives as much as possible,and sometimes that means letting people live their lives the way they please,even if I don't agree...

    Mosque at Ground Zero

    I think they should as the people of New York. They are the ones who live there,they should get to decide. Have a vote,shouldn't be to hard to do. The government is there to do the will of the people, so ask the people what they want. Majority says yes,build it.majority says no, don't.

    Can humanity surprise God?

    It can't,that was kind of the point. In the old testament,God is often surprised by man. In fact,a few times he has to come down to check things out for himself(casts doubt on the whole "all-knowingness" doesn't it?) before making a decision. However,we are also told that God is indeed...

    Would you denounce your beliefs if tortured?

    Would God be pleased that you died or endured great torture instead of saying something your captors wanted you to say? I dunno,maybe. Would you be upset if someone captured your spouse or child and tortured them,telling them to say they didn't love you, and they did as they were told? Or would...

    Is there Free Will in Heaven?

    Since we're going off topic here, let me just state that the majority of tea party people don't give a crap that the President is black, they are ticked off that the government is spending their country into a black hole and is basically no longer representing the people or the Constitution...

    Can humanity surprise God?

    I guess it depends on your view of God. In the Bible,God is constantly surprised by humans,so I would say yes.:yes: However, the Bible also states that God is all-knowing,so I would say no:no: Make sense?:confused:

    This is Sacred, Respect it

    You know what, you are absolutely right! I think this needs to be investigated... Anyway, as far as animals being sacred, I find it hard to understand how one animal is more sacred than the next. I have worked with cows quite extensivley and find them to be about the same as other...

    Why don't Jews believe Jesus is the Messiah?

    See that's what I thought, the Jews don't accept Jesus due to unfulfilled prophecy. What puzzles me is how some of them seem to be able to dismiss that and believe he is. As a friend of mine likes to tell me all the time,we know the bible is Gods word because it's prophecies where all fulfilled...

    This is Sacred, Respect it

    Do Hindu's hold that all cows are sacred or just the Brahma's or whatever it is they have over there? I frequent an Indian restaurant and they regualry serve beef. Also,have any Hindu's ever worked with Holsteins? Because if you had you might jsut change your mind about cows being sacred...
