First off, I'm not certain what "teachers" you're speaking of. You make such a bold accusation about me and know nothing of me, yet defend yourself with the
"you don't know me" comment. So, mr/ms smartypants...tell me all you know about my teachers...if you can...or shut up.
You sir/ma'am are an inconsiderate and ignorant ass. You've responded with nothing but sarcasm and then demand some respect? You have forgotten that "knowledge puffs up" and you Mr/ms. pufferfish are a fine example of how Christians are not to behave.
It's one thing to read the Bible, it's another thing to live the Bible. Your lack of Biblical character refutes your words.
Please ... get a grip. You have taken this way too personally.
You called me a liberal. That is why you do not know me.
your teachers lie to the masses to sell there books. Worse yet they scare them into church because after all. Jesus is comming soon. But "I ahve not given you a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind!!" Youy religion capitalizes on fear and fantasy "Left behind series" claiming they interpret the Bible literaly yet twisting every event and symbol to fit their modern day belief. You will say back that we twist it to fit the past. i agree but it is not a twist. the only difference between the two is I have Christs words telling the Disciples that it was going to happen in their generation. I have Christs words telling the high priest thet he would see Christ comming "in power and great glory". I have the words of John telling me that "it is already the last hour".
What have you got?
A bunch of ignorant theologins, who do not know Old Testament prophecy and fufilment, telling us that these words are either mistaken or misunderstood. Somehow they twist these words and say that these men are refering to the future although the context never allows for it in any of the passages!
