I attended Carter's Sunday School class a couple times after he left office. Struck me as a sincere, thoughtful, moderately conservative Baptist. Intelligent, but no Biblical scholar. When I was with a group that hosted a Habitat for Humanity board meeting, he attended. Maybe our pacifist group comp...

Yes the final outcome is up to God. "THE EARTH SHALL LAST FOREVER" image sure isn't conclusive about the earth lasting forever, is it? The Hebrews 1 passage and Isaiah 51 says it shall perish. Ephesians 3.21 (KJV) uses the idiom "world without end", which is not a literal transla...

OK, I started a new thread, Preterism, under Theology. I'd like to hear more.

GCDonner suggested another thread. I'd like to hear more of his ideas, so here's a place.

Ideally they would be rotating the chemicals used. If the same sprays are used every time, certain weeds may develop resistance to the active ingredients in those sprays. Maybe it's a matter of semantics, but I find it easier to think of selecting the weeds that have the resistance to the herbicide...

Praying against a leader is an interesting question. Think of an extreme example, such a Hitler. I think I could faithfully pray for his conversion, and failing that, that his evil plans be thwarted. Which also needs to be prayed for every US leader in my lifetime. Maybe you aren't as aged as I am,...

I guess you aren't a Dispensen-sationalist? I probably am a dispensationalist in a way. I do think that God dealt and will deal with people differently in different ages, although people get much too detailed. There was the age before the Law, the Law, the Gospel age, and there is the Age to Come. ...
