It's one of the contradictions between scripture and what is believed by some Christians. There's quite a large group of believers who think the end times is still to come and has requirements that must take place beforehand.

Those beliefs are supported by a hodgepodge of scriptural references, most of them from the book, "Revelation."

Bottom line is that none of it is based on any contemporaneous writings by actual witnesses, so who can say what is accurate, if anything, or who wrote it down.

Besides, those scriptures date back to times that were very much unlike today's times. The words have passed through many edits and translations, so it's likely that they bear only passing relationships with the originals, assuming those existed in the first place.

You are the only one here who seems to lack self awareness. marylandblue Mar 2019 #74

A meaningless point. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #75

Case in point. Your headline claims the point is meaningless. marylandblue Mar 2019 #76

Diagnosis from a distance is so prone to error. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #77

Good, because I didn't make a diagnosis from a distance. marylandblue Mar 2019 #78

I experienced the same pattern Lordquinton Mar 2019 #52

We're not the only ones to notice that, I'm sure. MineralMan Mar 2019 #60

Some decline to post here, due in part to the toxic responses guillaumeb Mar 2019 #67

You aren't the only ones to notice. Mariana Mar 2019 #99

They are based on a misreading of the posts. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #39

Please explain how it's a misreading. Lordquinton Mar 2019 #50

Do you know the difference between the words "deceived' and "deceiver"? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #58

Here are the links again. They are someone calling someone the "deceiver" MineralMan Mar 2019 #62

I still remember your rather interesting definition of the word "apologia". eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #57

I didn't define it, so you remembered someone else Major Nikon Mar 2019 #64

You misused it a few times. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #69

That's dishonest, g. trotsky Mar 2019 #82

Laughable. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #85

No, he didn't. trotsky Mar 2019 #86

In that case, you share in the misunderstanding. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #88

I understand your need to believe that. n/t trotsky Mar 2019 #91

No he accused you of doing something indefensible. marylandblue Mar 2019 #96

That word doesn't mean what you think it means Major Nikon Mar 2019 #47

Okay MM. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #73

You might want to follow your own advice, Gullible Major Nikon Mar 2019 #79

Very interesting. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #84

If you replace "apologia" with the synonym "defense" the meaning doesn't change, Gullible Major Nikon Mar 2019 #90

Now "MM" is Major Nikon? MineralMan Mar 2019 #81

I'm pretty sure you aren't worried about it either way... trotsky Mar 2019 #87
