or some kind of 7 year pact with Israel...anyways, I don't plan on being on the scene when he makes his debut.

Well yea, you'll either be raptured, running or killed. I mean, if people come to your house in the middle of the night with a guillotine and tell you either worship this statue or that's it for you. I don't really think at that point you need to break out on the number name calculator. Personally I think my only concern is asking them when's the last time you sharpened this thing, cause then it's too easy. Don't even get me started on date setting, what part of no one knows the hour or the day is so hard?

I had a question for your first reply but i did not post it and it was this.  Was that a rant ?

Now i have read your other replys and you said thanks for letting you vent, then i know your position.  Anyway, like your remarks, and or i should say your writing style, i find it really amusing.

Well yea, of course I'm just kidding around but at the same time it just drives me up the wall. Parables are comparisons, visions are highly figurative and when Jesus says I'm the bread of life he's not thinking he is a loaf of bread. I mean come on, it's not that hard guys.

Good to know. Then again we are talking about the english language, you know some say it is awkward and backward compared to others, so i have been told.  Then to add,  you have taking the english translations and using the greek and hebrew to reference the word and it can be mind boggling to me at least.  All because i don't know hebrew and greek and how to transalate to enlish.

Try Blue Letter Bible and well, some things are not going to translate well. When Jesus asked Peter if Peter loved him and Peter said yes Lord I love you, it's not well known but they are using two different words. Jesus is saying 'agape' and Peter is saying 'phileo'. Jesus is telling Peter that he will pay a price, that means sacrifice. Peter is saying Lord we are friends. Finally Jesus asks if Peter loves him, 'phileo', basically asking him if he is even his friend. Peter then says, I love (agape) you. That doesn't come out in a translation.

My pet peeve; people who try to spiritualize Scripture instead of taking it at face value.  For them, everything in the Bible says one thing but actually means something else.  Makes me bonkers.

ah, another pet peeve; date setters! thx

These people, I think are more injto promoting themselves as caretakers of some special form of information than anything else. Of course they make us look like fools, as well.

I'm just saying, if people worked on their cars like they 'interpret' Scripture there would be a spike in people needing public transportation. Don't get me wrong if you want to allegorize a text of Scripture, that's perfectly fine, it's a nice devotional way of reading and applying Scripture. Paint it any color you like, use whatever kind of seat covers appeal to you, play whatever you like on the radio but please don't tinker with the engine if you don't know what your doing. Thanks for letting me vent, l feel much better now. 

I hear you ?

Deep breaths, deep breaths..!
