    The problem of being rich

    it was a simple question, so your barbed response is both un-necessary, and pejorative. If you are senior, I would think you would have learned how to at least be marginally polite.

    Why is the end times so important?

    And yet another verse that demands a literal, visible return: Acts 1:7-11 7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in...

    Why is the end times so important?

    I would add that fulfillment of scriptural prophecy when it comes to Jesus' return requires a visible return, witnessed virtually by the entire world. No such thing happened in 70 AD, which means Jesus did not come back in 70 AD. Every time a person declares that Jesus return is a spiritual...

    Why is the end times so important?

    One of the reasons why the study of Eschatology is so important today is so one can spot End-times cons. This thread is a cornucopia of false End-times doctrine. "Jesus returned in 70 AD!" "Satan and the angels are locked up!" "There's no millennial reign!" Etc., etc., etc. These...

    Why is the end times so important?

    No, they are presented in language most people today no longer understand and no longer speak. Every credible Bible translation presents those three concepts. Any of those three concepts can be readily understood from any more modern English translation. There is no magic Bible translation...

    conspiracy and corruption...

    Your daughter has no relation to the issue itself. You didn't want her aborted, because you helped make her. In that very narrow band you view the issue through, you cared about her. But you don't care about an unborn child you don't know. You don't believe they should have a choice. Only...

    conspiracy and corruption...

    As usual, you respond with an insult. A person who is supposedly as dedicated to the Lord as you claim to be would not respond in that manner. A person who claims to be a Christian does not respond to another christian by calling them "retarded." Not to mention the term itself is highly...

    Why is the end times so important?

    What I'd like to know is why these self-proclaimed "prophets" also feel the need to deliver their prophecies filled with all caps and scare quotes, as well as being delivered in feigned King James English . . . To me, the King James-speak is one of the first tip-offs to the Rip Off.

    Trickle up economics.

    The assertion is still being floated, and yet, I still see no links to your sources . . .

    Bill Hicks is Alex Jones

    No, it isn't. Conspiracy theories are like cancer. If you buy into one or two, suddenly you're buying into all of them. And the king of stupid conspiracy theories is the "Flat Earth" conspiracy. So when someone proposes another dumb conspiracy theory, like the subject of this thread, knowing...

    Trickle up economics.

    I note that while you continually claim statistics, each post is completely devoid of any link that cites your "source." Why is that? It isn't hard to do a Google search. Just a few simple key strokes. CNN, CNBC, etc. all play the same game. They list Nordic/Scandinavian countries at the...

    Trickle up economics.

    And all the sources you listed are Liberal. Imagine that.

    Trickle up economics.

    Once again, if you are going to float a comment like that, surely, you would just as easily be able to also cite your sources. Credible people would do so. Posting an embedded link is pretty simple these days. Yes CNN-style statistics cite what we would think of as "happy" countries and then...

    Trickle up economics.

    The "Eat The Rich" philosophy is always a non-starter. And people espousing the principle never explain who these nebulous "poor" people are that they keep whinging about. The government has been throwing money at "the poor" for half a century and it hasn't solved the problem. Every...

    Sunday worship / Christmas / Easter and all the rest....

    You say you are not here to argue or debate, but anyone who does not agree with you gets an insult in your reply. Explain to us exactly how you are keeping the Sabbath. Exactly how are you "setting aside" the Sabbath? If you think you are actually keeping the Sabbath, and since you claim to...

    Sunday worship / Christmas / Easter and all the rest....

    Always a false premise. Rome has foisted a huge chunk of false doctrine on the world, but the Sabbath wasn't one of them. Even the RCC does not believe they are observing the sabbath on Sunday. This is always a back-door tactic from people who think they are actually keeping the Sabbath...

    Sunday worship / Christmas / Easter and all the rest....

    Of course you wanted to start debate, and tell everyone why you are right, or you would not have written this: That sentence is a fairly insulting blanket statement aimed at anyone not doing things your way, so they are all pagans. Not so much. Firstly, born-again Christians do not think...

    WHO SHOULD HAVE A VOICE?

    You brought up Kuwait. Kuwait was a specific case of a country invaded by another country. There was justification for that. The second Gulf War, not so much, and I was in no way in support of that. Nor was I in support of Obama's proxy wars all over the Middle East. Nor should we be in...

    WHO SHOULD HAVE A VOICE?

    I don't have a comprehension problem simply because I don't agree with you, and it is patently prideful for you to keep pushing that line of thought as if you are the only person who has everything figured out. You clearly do not. If you did, you would have no need to make smug posts like the...
