Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi , Yes, I'm Christian, but no you haven't offended me. I was raised Catholic, but I will totally admit that I was never Christian until this past year. I am " born again " (yeah, I realize the tag that goes with that but I assure you I'm not a nutcase) I have to agree with you that the Bible was written by men, and has been translated. The thing about the Bible is that it is beleived to have been written with divine inspiration. Now, you'd have to beleive in God and have accepted Jesus (Christian) to beleive that it was written with such inspiration. Those of us that do beleive that, take the Bible very seriously. However, there are those that take it word for word, or take certain verses out of context etc... Myself, I tend to beleive that there is a lesson and a " word " for us all to learn from, but it is not always to be taken literally. Remember, in Revelations those whom were being addressed were a people that lived 2000 years ago and the culture and language was different. I beleive that it will all come to pass, but figuratively, not word for word.. that is certainly is pre-ordained, but that does not mean that we do not have control of fate.. we were given " choice " and with that, we can change anything... Anyway, that's that. The point is that even though I am Christian (gasp!) I think that this micro-chip idea is some very scary stuff! We really need to stop this, and yes " fight a good fight " . Remember, we are not living in a heaven, we are living in the world, and much evil lurks here regardless of religon. Just look at vaccines, they are evil evil things. Historically they are traced back to ancient Eygpt when the people worshiped their Cow Godess (hence the cowpox vaccine), later the vatican played a major role in those as well as much of modern medicine. The vaticans motives at the time were questionable. (I'll not say more on that as to not offend any Roman Catholics). We all, regardless of our beleifs must recognize the evil and fight against it! Okay, those are my two cents Laurette > <<Well, according to the bible prophesy, it happens. But, does it have > to happen now? Can't we still fight the good fight?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I agree with Laurette. I am a Christian and still want to stop this!! The mark of the beast will be after the anti-Christ has risen to power. God's people will be gone by then. Those that made predictions about the end of the world were false profits. Noone should listen to them. Noone will know when it's really coming. Many many things in the Bible have been proven to be fact. The Old Testament was written predicting what then happened in the New Testament which ended up being true. The Case for Christ is a book written by an Atheist. He was trying to disprove it and instead, now believes. God is loving, but each person makes his or her own choice. God is a Just God. He is not corrupt. He will hold people accountable for their actions! Dorinda Mommy to Seth and Saron Re: ID Cards & Religon Hi , Yes, I'm Christian, but no you haven't offended me.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I am a universalist... and my worry is that the Rapture already happened and the only person who got taken up was a single janitor from Tulsa named Joe with no family or friends. EEK!! What if NO ONE was pure enough to be brought into heaven??!!??? Sorry!! Just sounds crazy enough to be true..

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Ya know, adults aren't pure. Noone is or will be. All have sinned... but when the Christians go, all children go.
