Luv these guys.

Nope. Not possible. Preterists have no choice but to believe this, but it's just not true.

I wish I understood this desire to create racist hoaxes. The only thing I can conclude is that America is a decent non-racist country, and that its white citizens are not providing the evidence needed to prove otherwise.

the sooner the better.

That's not what the text says. John was in the spirit and described the visions he saw, just as Christ instructed him to do. In many cases the things he saw were interpreted for him by Jesus. Rev. 1:19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20 The...

Exactly what John would say to you.

So then you agree with me on Matthew also. I like this new interpretation method. Makes things easier.

Okay, great. Then you agree with me that Revelation should be interpreted literally. I was going to take you literally, but you just convinced me, I don't have to. :Thumbsup

If it's literally what he saw, you should take him literally that he says he saw it. Do you believe Joseph described what he literally saw in his visions? Why not just trust what you're reading? Don't reinterpret and don't read additional things into it. Just read, trust and be blessed.

I just can't bring myself to care. As I said, I doubt Jesus was black. But, honestly it wouldn't affect me one bit if he were black or an albino with pink eyes.

That's a literal description of a vision. That's literally what John saw. When Joseph described his dreams of the skinny and fat cows, do you think he wasn't literally describing what he saw? You don't believe him? John literally saw a vision of a Lamb with many eyes who had been slain...

This is a strange argument. In fact it's not an argument. Interpret Revelation literally. Interpret Matt. 24 literally. Always assume something is literal apart from the author telling you in some way that it isn't. Otherwise you'll miss the blessing of Revelation.

I really don't care. I doubt Jesus was black, and also doubt he was mormon white. My guess is a middle brown like most creationists think Adam was.

Thanks, that's informative. I don't doubt Jesus could have had light skin. The argument above shows at the very least it's possible, and therefore, utterly ridiculous to tear down white Jesus art. My point is merely that skin color was not significant in the minds of the biblical authors.

Maybe we're speaking of different scenarios, if you want to expand. My concern is the constant suspicion which demands that a certain group or organization prove it's not what it's accused of, and assumed guilty of sufficient proof is not attained. I don't think this is a healthy mod of...

We actually have no idea about his skin shade. Could have been very light or very dark. The irony is, the Bible writers didn't care to report on it. It was that much a non-issue.

Not looking, but could be someone that believes in this systemic theory. Bubba is also successful. Look what he was willing to believe. BTW, he just gave a fairly decent statement. Wish he would have gone further, but not bad. He admitted that it was not what he originally perceived...

Don't ignore it, but don't also fail to investigate it. If 10 different people cite seeing a UFO, that might be proof something was seen, but it's not proof, in and of itself, it was extraterrestrial aliens. It's still possible there was a natural explanation of what was seen. And for...

Unfortunately, this is anecdotal. Dr. Baucham coined an interesting term: Ethnic Gnosticism. It addresses this issue of perceived correlations. This is not to say perceptions must be ignored, but they can never trump truth, nor be accepted as the default that must then be disproven...

The irony is, there have been 6 relatively recent noose stories, all turning out to be hoaxes or just wrong. Tucker goes through a few them. You would think we'd finally get the message and immediately doubt these stories, especially after Jussie. But that would mean admitting America is...
