I wondered about that.

Certainly they were birds of a feather.

You might be surprised. I actually like you. I think you are wasting your gift. You preach theory to a choir. What you preach is speculation and not the word. It is a conspiracy theory. Maybe your job is saving souls and this conspiracy theory thing is a hobby, but I cant see how that is good. If saving souls cant be your passion, I pity you, but I still like you.

God certainly does use a lot of foolish things to confound the wise.


ahem.... Satan confuses. God is clear. All you have to do is read for yourself. His words are clear.

Discuss the issues all you want but do NOT make it personal.

The problem is that in the past the allegorization of the bible gained favor over more literal readings. For example: the Bible talks about Christ returning to the nation Israel in Jerusalem, and that the abomination that makes desolate requires a rebuilt temple, and all the other specific prophecies and even technology statements. These have been allegorized as the church replaced Israel and Christ reigns in our hearts not in the temple in Jerusalem...etc. The fact that for the first time in 2000 years Jerusalem is under the control of a National Israel makes no difference to those that take prophecy as allegory.

You cannot find any technology by any totally global government used to insure that people could not buy or sell without the mark in their foreheads or hands

IN ANY OTHER ERA. NONE.

For one, there was not any such global government truly encompassing the globe in any other era.

Case closed. You didn’t have a chance before you started. It’s just the way the facts are.

That is a bit of a surprise.

Actually, this ‘hobby’ has been instrumental in God using me to bring a number of souls into The Kingdom.

They are FAR from mutually exclusive.

In terms of the global government—it’s far from a theory. That I HAVE studied for 45 years. It’s simply a fact. There is not one microgram’s doubt about it. None.

That line, is a Scripture—FROM GOD.

BTW, you can be a kick, too.

Too true.

Thankfully, God did not write prophecy as allegory, very often! LOL. AT least, not in terms of the primary import and message. He wrote it to predict real literal events, issues, facts, situations.

Actually, I expect to find in eternity that ALL Christ’s parables were true literal stories.

I disagree, of course. We may not know right now, but God has always warned HIS people, HIS followers when things would happen. I believe we will know when the time comes, especially if we read and believe what scripture says. He will not leave His people clueless.

I cant give a clinical diagnoses for your condition because calling it what it is will get the post pulled so I will just drop it.

BTW could you comment on:
1) man made global warming
2) who killed JFK
3) area 51
4) when the comet to take us away will show up
5) some of that nutty Scientology’s stuff
6) the conspiracy on American Idol

feel free to keep going.

God loves me too. I know because I love him. How exactly are you HIS people?

Please explain. I am at a loss and am feeling bad because you said that.

Who said one needed technology and not just a tatoo or mark, and a law that you can't buy or sell without one?

With visions of sugar plums dancing in one’s head.

And I in my kerchief retired to my bed.

While brother and sister saw snow white and red.

Perhaps because on pizza they’d been fed.

Which explains why truthfulness is better read.

Do you have backing in scripture for that? I for one take God seriously when he says that you won't know.

The general birth pangs period approaching the Tribulation time

Scripture indicates that those watching, prepared and alert will know that the birth pangs period has arrived.

Not the specific day or hour

but the general time frame.

It helps to avoid reading INTO Scripture what’s NOT there.
