    The Rapture?

    Nor do I! Whether the non-believers will hear the "shout", and/or the "trump", is debatable, but when people start disappearing all over the earth, IT SURE AIN'T GONNA BE A SECRET! MARANATHA!!!!!

    The Rapture?

    1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Anxiously awaiting that shout and trumpet blast! As the old song says, "Goodbye world, goodbye!" MARANATHA!!!!!!

    The Disturbing Distribution of Wealth

    Why should the guy with mega-bucks invest in a venture that just may fail, IF he has not the expectation of reaping rewards? His investment generates capital; that allows others (you & me) to get a job with his company thereby giving us a portion of that wealth. Do you consider it “FAIR”...

    Custom CD Burning

    Right after I got my computer, some 7-8 years ago, I saw a site that would let you pick the music you liked & would burn a CD for you. I have no idea what it was now that I'm interested Does this service now exist?

    The Disturbing Distribution of Wealth

    Sorry, but I read this to say that in '73 that everybody made the same. Surely this is not what you meant?! Example: Total income in '73 = $100,000,000. A.-"For example 20 percent of the US income went to the top 20 percent--" therefore $20,000,000 went to 20% of the population giving each...

    Baptist Preachers

    If we as Christians had to live like the Christians in the third world countries, I fully believe that we would witness the miracles that are so denied by moderns. Our lives are so soft & cushy with very little challenge from true hardship that we "don't need God" like the others do. If and...

    the passing of many American military survivors of WWII

    I had a vet (Marine) on my meals-on-wheels route that I thoroughly enjoyed talking to. He told me of a few of his experiences on either Guadalcanal or Okinawa, can't remember which, but his description of the mayhem & carnage around him sure didn't fit the idea of war being "glorious"! Lots...

    Did Jesus have free will?

    If Jesus did not have the true choice to obey or not, then this is a meaningless passage. I say that He had the capability to sin, BUT He also had the perfect relation with the Father (like Adam prior to the stumble, if you will) to give Him the power to resist en toto the temptations.

    If Iran was to launch a nuclear attack on Israel.

    Well, maybe, but I don't call it "luck"! I prefer to think it was very good execution AND divine intervention. But to each his own. Also you will note that the Israelis were pretty much left alone after that.

    If Iran was to launch a nuclear attack on Israel.

    It's amazing how many people believe that this promise is for the OT only! I personally don't see it that way; I see no restrictions/limitations on this promise, and foresee the end of us as a 1st class nation when Israel no longer can count on us as an ally. With the spread of Islam, many...

    If Iran was to launch a nuclear attack on Israel.

    The '67 is correct, not sure about the '73, but seems correct. Also, anybody remember "ENTEBBE"? I want the Israelis on MY side!!!!

    Religion of ruin?

    This whole topic makes me think of the ARK! (Not totally off-topic, but a "left handed view, if you will!) I've come to the conclusion that the ark will not be found prior to the rapture simply because so many people would tend to "worship" any physical part of the ark as HOLY...

    If Iran was to launch a nuclear attack on Israel.

    If such were the case, and Israel knew it, then there would be quite a few Iranians that would find out real quickly the fallacy of the "72 Virgins"! :D

    speaking in tongues in Corinth

    Layman's opinion! I have yet to see where the gifts the apostles had have been cancelled. (If you have some scripture to back up that belief, please reference it.) I do feel that much of the modern practice of "tongues" is somewhat(?) religiosity gone amok! (Some TV preachers fer instance) I...

    An Ethical Question

    Sounds good to me! Excellent question; remember we don't live in a vaccuum! Good answer--for perfect people, but we aren't perfect, so we are going to draw SOME conclusions; rightly or wrongly. If you are led by God to enter said questionable enterprise, then you have to trust that God will...
