I guess for Unbelievers the Holy Bible is insane, but for us that are not blinded by the light?

Question

Here is some more research on the Book of Exekiel and the problems with Russia and Iran, please let me know your thoughts on this>
The Jewish historian Josephus said, "Magog founded the Magogians, called Scythians by the Greeks. Scythians were a nomadic tribe who inhabited the ancient territory from Central Asia across the southern part of ancient Russia." Today this area is inhabited by the former Soviet Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and possibly northern parts of Afghanistan
Ezekiel 38 is not the same as the war that will come at the end of the tribulation when Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist and establish his millennial kingdom.
Verse 22 of Ezekiel tells us that there will be plagues, torrents of rain, hailstones, and burning sulfur. Just as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, he will destroy these invading forces. Once again, God will make it known to all the nations that He is the Lord.

Answer 1

Thoughts??

Why do you insist on insulting "unbelievers"? You are the one blinded by faith, not I.

Answer 2

Jesus asked us to decide not lest ye be judged. The meaning of it somewhat is we are able to't be judgmental in the direction of others with out additionally judging our selves. it somewhat is often misinterpreted to indicate that If we decide others,. God will decide us. it is somewhat not the genuine meaning of the verse. Your buddy desires to appreciate that he's judging himself too harshly. this could properly be a appropriate occasion of what Jesus replaced into cautioning against. you need to appreciate that some religious human beings have over emphasised the sin concept and made many reliable human beings experience undesirable approximately movements that have been in no way somewhat that undesirable first of all. we ought to stop and picture approximately this for a whilst. God does not decide you for residing your existence and discovering out of your reports. because of the fact of this we are positioned right here, to learn from the circumstances that we are confronted with. God does not decide us for doing precisely what He consistently envisioned human beings. God loves us purely as plenty as quickly as we are making blunders because of the fact He understand that at last those blunders will lead us to the reality. attempt to help your buddy to appreciate this. Love and advantages don Love and advantages don.

Answer 3

I'd like to answer your first question.
I don't think the bible is insane. I do think it is a collection of stories passed down from the time of the Romans (They are the ones who decided what would be in the bible)

Answer 4

I don't think it's insane, just not for me. I think that it is a book of fictional stories meant to teach morals. You have to remember though that society acts and thinks is very different than when the bible was first written. The writings cannot be taken so literal.

Answer 5

You're correct. To unbelievers who are tempted to write that we Christians are "crazy fundies" for posting questions like this, I plead with you: research the current identities of EACH of the countries listed in Ezekiel 38 yourself. The first two are understood by Jewish AND Christian scholars to be Russia and Iran. NEVER in all of history have these two countries had an economic and military alliance as they do today -- and BOTH of these factors are in the prophesies! This is not a bunch of craziness, it will happen soon, unless God Himself intervenes.

Answer 6

Our world peace initiative should not contain the rapture as an option.

This is the problem with having religious nuts and apresident with a 2.00 average in office, by the way they say he's drinkin again

Answer 7

Wait! How did Josephus, a late second century writer, know about ancient Russia?

Answer 8

My Pastor last night taught on the fact that we focus so much on when Jesus comes that we forget that when he comes, there will be darkness. It is not something to rejoice in, but something to prepare for. God is preparing us for that time. We won't know when it is going to come, It says that Jesus will come like a thief in the night for a reason. We as christians need to prepare whether it be tomorrow of a thousand years from now. Besides when Jesus comes we will rejoice, but think of all the loss. All the people that didn't believe. That makes my heart sick.

Answer 9

Well... let's see... you believe that a (fictional) cosmic Jewish zombie, who is his own father, can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced, by a talking snake with legs, to eat from a magical tree... (etc.)... and that there is something horribly wrong with people who ARE NOT so gullible and droolingly stupid as to believe such outrageously ridiculous codswallop.

Yep... you're right... that's insane.

Answer 10

actually your interpretations of the bible are more insane then i ever considered the bible to be.

you see cheeseburger and you claim the end of the world because that the cow used to do this is part of another religion, hindu, and u claim that hindus will control the world and blah blah blah.

nothing u have claimed has made any sense yet.

i honestly wonder if your for real sometimes. i cannot figure you out for anything.

but if u wanna talk about blinded, im going to say christians are the ones blinded, they wont even listen to answers that go against their beliefs. they tighten the blindfold. =\

Answer 11

You're assuming that the muslims are the anti-christ when actually, they believe in exactly the same God as you.

So aren't you reading this wrong?

Given that both Russian and Iran believe in exactly the same God as you, what is your point???
