Re: White Settlement Texas Church Shooting
I guess we may get to see how "no guns" works out in real time as Virginia poses to confiscate all guns from citizens, as well as other means of violence like knives and being involved in martial arts will also become a felony. It hasn't passed yet, but they have already passed the abortio...

Re: Television - Revelations
One thing that must be recognized when trying to interpret scripture is that it is consistent with other scripture, and can be interpreted using other scripture. The time factor for the Revelation is one such perspective that is so often overlooked in this regard. Both from internal evidence in the ...

Re: Television - Revelations
I don't believe that the antichrist or the "beast" is a person. To avoid misunderstanding, I believe "the beasts" in Revelation are empires of nations, just as are the "beasts" in Daniel. They are related books. John is directed to measure in Revelations, and Daniel (a...

Re: Television - Revelations
The answer is more closely related to the early church and the context of the book of Revelation, being in the first century. Many of the early church fathers regarded Nero as being the beast of Revelation, since the description matches him and the number also matches his name. And I 100% agree wit...

Re: White Settlement Texas Church Shooting
So is there actually such an Anabaptist church out there? I've never heard of this. There might be some USMC churches??? Yes, United States Marine Corps churches would meet this description, all except the Anabaptist part. Just in case you actually meant MCUSA, they are not into those picayune deta...

Re: White Settlement Texas Church Shooting
I have a hard time reconciling an Anabaptist church that would cite biblical authority to argue picayune details about women's dress, head coverings, shoes, buttons, fabric patterns, etc. But then welcome firearms into the sanctuary. So is there actually such an Anabaptist church out there? I've ne...

Re: White Settlement Texas Church Shooting
Could someone explain to me why this person HAD a gun in the first place. He was clearly mentally ill, and a danger to himself and society. J.M. That is an extremely good question... And I am not hearing of anyone asking it. J,M. The "official" answer would be that he slipped through the ...

Re: Television - Revelations
Would you consider television the "image of the beast" as foretold in Revelations? Because I do. I have believed this since I was 18 years old- even though after a brief period of trying to convince my family and friends of this I drifted off to sleep and universalism. It was easy to do, ...
