  1. Exactly what does this have to do with Mother Teresa?
  2. We have seen quoted, that Jesus said that for those who can receive it, indeed, Eiljah has come, in the person of John the immerser (baptist). Does this mean the John is literally Elijah? I doubt it. Jesus said John came in the spirit and power of Elijah. I take this to mean that John the immerser, fulfilled some of the role of Elijah, but that this is in the form of a type, a symbol, prefillment, not a fulfillment. In any case, we know that John the immerser, does not totally fulfill the prophecy of Elijah's return. How do we know this? In Matt 17:11, Jesus refers to Elijah's coming as a yet future event. When Jesus said this, John had already been beheaded, so obviously, the coming that Jesus referred to in Matt 17:11, is distinct from John the immerser. In Mark 9 we see this: 11They asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. Isn't that interesting, not only does Elijah come, he apparently restores all things. What ever that means, it seems that Elijah's role is major, perhaps more major than announcing the Messiah - preparing the way, shouting in the wilderness. In John 1, we see this also: 21They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” So, John the immerser's own testimony, is that he is not Elijah. I have to say, that the bulk of the evidence points to John not being Elijah.
  3. God's crowning achievement to His creation, created in His own image is trash?
  4. There is a solution to the problem of evil money, send your excess to me, I will see that it is properly disposed of.
  5. and after a day, no evidence left behind!
  6. Well, I guess anything is possible, when you take a philosophical look at Hell instead of Biblical examination of hell.
  7. and here I thought the topic was the 10 virgins . . . someone should alert the OP that he got his Topic wrong.
