[chrysostom]

so what is this?

my new project

another revelation thread?

they deleted the other ones

maybe they are not interested

I did suspect that

so why do it again?

it's my job

 

[chrysostom]

I can't figure out what you are doing here

each topic in the opening post will be a thread

why are you doing that?

when knight gets around to deleting my threads he may miss a few

so it is a defensive tactic

it is more than that

it may also get very confusing

I think it is worth a try

 

[chrysostom]

so why is there so little interest in this

they are mad

and?

they put everything in the future

isn't that better that forcing historical events to fit the prophecies?

not if you ignore history which can help us understand

how?

history can help us interpret the prophecies

and the future can't?

it can be almost anything you want it to be

is that why there are so many different interpretations?

of course

 

[Spitfire]

coming soon

Already here.

 

[chrysostom]

Already here.

preterist?

 

[Spitfire]

preterist?

No.

 

[chrysostom]

so how many threads have you done on the apocalypse?

not sure, maybe four or more

and they have all been deleted?

can't find them

don't you have a blog?

yes but many of the links don't work now

you really like links

amr showed me how to do it

I wonder if he is losing his

Why are the visions considered to be from God?

Ah, ok.

Maybe because all 3 had the same vision...kind of like confirmation it's from God?

According to Jesus and John, it already happened... unless you really pervert a couple of words to your liking.

what already happened?

give us some examples

Why should I.. they are opened to interpretation.

The fact is that John said these things are 'soon' to happen. I highly doubt that soon in his mind was 2000+ years.

Then there is the fact that Jesus said that some of his audience would still be alive when returned to fulfill all prophesy.

So, either you believe them or you do not. I have confidence that I can take those two people at their word... why cant you?

what about the thousand years?

that can't happen soon

 

[chrysostom]

so why study the apocalypse?

because it is there

there are so many different interpretations

many are moved by it for different reasons

what moved you?

farrakhan referred to the pope as a whore on tv

did he reference the apocalypse?

he sure did

how did that make you feel?

it made me want to read it again to see why

and the rest is history?

a whole lot of history
