The rise of Islam,

You mean in the 7th century?

At no time in history has instantaneous communication between nations been enabled.

Yeah, so what?

And certainly the return of the Messiah, for the entire World to see, is totally within the capability of television.

I didn’t realize the Jesus was in need of Comcast and Direct TV to make His appearance.

And the irrelevance (little mention) of America in …

Are You Suffering From E.D.?

Thanks.

I hadn’t recalled the details. IIRC, the disintegration issue depends a lot on a number of factors . . . including composition, angle of attack, speed, etc. Certainly it’s likely a rock that size would have disintegrated before hitting ground.

However, had it been headed for my house, I doubt I’d have stayed at home, just in case.

The more significant factor was how late in the game it was discovered.

All the more so given that THE UNSHREDDED BIBLE CLEARLY declares essentially, that in the same era Israel becomes a nation again in a day during . . . a mountain sized object will crash into the planet.

Oh, that’s right, REPLACEMENTARIANS DON’T BELIEVE the UNSHREDDED Bible. My error.

#####

Hey, it’s not MY capacity to rationally sift vast quantities of complex information and arrive at reasonable conclusions that’s been abducted by the king of hell.

Should be interesting to read the feeble, clueless, non-sequitur retorts on the other items. LOL.

Somehow I don’t think God needs TV to be seen by the whole planet.

Since the entire 2011/2012 Jesus-is-gonna-return-soon scenario has been propagated by a number of "Christian" sources (see here and here), a warning about this sort of nonsense, even fictional, needs to be sounded.

Ignore the xenophobic, jingoistic rantings of preterists.

These folks follow a belief started by the Jesuit
Luis De Alcasar during the Counter Reformation.

Preterists believe in replacement theology.
It is a rabid anti-semitic belief.
They somehow forget that Jesus
was, is and will always be a Jew.

Jesus the Anointed will rule the
world for a thousand years from
Jerusalem on the throne of King David.

We as followers of the Christ are required to
recognize the "signs" of the times starting in
Matthew 24:32 discussing the Fig Tree.

A number of rabid cliques hereon have demonstrated relentlessly that they are . . .

genetically, habitually, perhaps brain-washed-ly

. . . totally IMMUNE to clues.

He obviously didn’t NEED boats to cross the Sea of Galilee, either.

However, most of the time, He did choose to use them.

I just did a Google-search of the internet for the word “Replacementarians”, and got only three hits. ALL three of them are posts which you made at freerepublic.com.

Will you please explain the meaning of this word that you apparently made up on your own?

Also, I got ZERO exact hits for “unshredded Bible”. I would appreciate an explanation of that term, as well.

In any event, do you think Tyndale or Geneva editions of the Bible can save me from replacementarianism?

PS - Is the sun HOT in New Mexico today?

;-)

You might get more if you put it in in all caps, or with trailing exclamation points.

"The evil is not so much an evil in itself: it is a malformation or over-rank outgrouth drawing to itself a surplusage of religious interest, at the expense of what is more essential and vital in the eschatological sphere. The resulting evil lies largely in the deficit thus caused in the appraisal of other eschatological processees far overshaodwing in importance this one feature, at least to the normally constituted Christian mind. Its tendency towards eclipsing views more important than itself has done much harm. It is no an uncommon experience at the present day for one who expresses dissent from Chiliasm to be met with the question, Are you then an unbeliever in 'the second coming'? In other words the subject of eschatology in its broad and tremendous significance has vanished from the field of vision, the delusion has been created that eschatology and Chiliasm are interchangeable, the species has usurped the place of the genus, which is to be regretted, altogether apart from the question whether acceptance of the species is in accordance with the biblical data or not." p227 --that Vos guy again, Pauline Eschatology, on Chiliasm

Perhaps your post is evidence of repressed memories leaking out in PROJECTION.

This questionaire might be of help:

I’m not detecting ENOUGH of a serious interest in the truth to bother with a substantive reply. I’ve said enough hereon for you to gather the answers to your questions anyway.

Besides, there are enough rabid folks to enjoy tweaking the buttons on. I don’t need new candidates.

Are you saying you don't KNOW the meaning of the word "replacementarian"; or what an "unshredded Bible" is?

Too bad. I was hoping I could achieve enlightenment today before 5:00 pm EST.

Seriously, though, is the real reason you rejected my request my failure to use all caps and trailing exclamation points in my post? I have to tell you, I'm a little nervous. I mean, I've never done that sort of thing before. But, if it will help me find out what a replacementarian is, I'm willing to... to... TRY!!!!!!!

HOW WAS THAT?!?!?!? NOT BAD FOR A FIRST ATTEMPT, RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

OH NO!!! I THINK I BLEW IT! I overdid it with all the extra question marks, didn't I? I just KNEW I was trying to do too much too fast!!!!

Now you stop that!

This is a perfectly good scoffer/Scripture denial thread and you have to go and ruin it with stating current events that just happen, purely by accident you understand, to match up with signs Christ gave us for His soon return. How are folks supposed to make themselves feel better about wiping out half the Bible if you come on here and inject some unpleasant facts?

Stop raining on everyone's parade!
