Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's nice, isn't it? Imagining you're someone's worst nightmare. Too bad it's almost never true.

It makes sense, but I still disagree. Whether or not they're in the majority is an entirely separate argument and does nothing to displace his point.


The majority of people on earth are stupid. Does this make the smart people wrong?
The majority of Americans are Christian. Does this mean god exists?
The majority of 13-year-old American girls think Justin Beiber is the s**t. Does this make Justin Bieber the s**t?

Yeah yeah lol
I was saying it for emphasis! lol
*Hates having to back paddle but I'm not that prideful to stick to my guns when I know I'm wrong*

I'm similar, but with runaways. Which some people think is creepy, but once I discovered that it was written all over my astrological chart, I stopped trying to repress my deep need to fix people/situations, when I'm given the opportunity. sweatdrop

Goddamn Virgo boys! gonk I just can't get away from you people! xp And I'm assuming you mean your ascendant is Leo? Or do you have a Leo cusp?
(Why not? Is it blasphemous? xd Oh please use the word blasphemous! whee I love that word.)

Except you don't. Seriously. How is your convoluted interpretation of Revelation in which you impose twenty-first century concepts onto a first century text taking "the bible for what it is"? There are much simpler ways of interpreting Revelation, but you ignore them in favor of the interpretation that didn't come about until the nineteenth century. Are you saying that all Christians prior to the nineteenth century were wrong? That they should have seen Revelation as being a prophecy concerning some unspecified point in the future instead of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E.? Can you also explain how all the prophecies in Revelation match up with events in the first century?


Why? If this thing is meant to be a glorified credit card, why would ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND PUT IT IN THEIR FOREHEAD. And saying inmates would get it--are you implying it would be given to them against their will? Sure sounds like it, anyway. So, if it's given to them against their will, does that mean the mark damns them?


In what way would a digital currency benefit anyone's failing economy? You're ignoring real-life events in favor of your Revelation fever dreams. Also, how is anyone benefited by a OWG? Who would agree to that and why? Same goes for a OWR. Can you imagine yourself buying into such a thing? If not, what makes you think anyone else will? You think Muslims would be okay with following a OWR? Catholics? Hindus? Unless you're suggesting the Antichrist is going to have mind control powers when he or she rises to power, I don't see a OWR ever happening. Just take a look at the world around us--so many wars are fought over religion, and yet you think people will complacently give up their beliefs and traditions for a common faith? Are you INSANE?


Where do you think the "doctrine of the congregations" comes from? Oh, yeah--that would be the Bible. All you guys are doing is rejecting a common, well-thought-out theology for concepts that don't even show up in the Bible at all. For example, your OWR? Please show me where such a thing is stated in Revelation. Word to the wise: you won't find it.

Also, question: Do you buy into the "rapture," too?


No, it doesn't displace his point. It does, however, prove that his point isn't the common sense "it's right there in scripture" nonsense he's trying to pass it off as. It proves dispensationalism is a minority heresy. None of which actually says dispensationalism is necessarily false, but when most biblical scholars (both Christian and secular) tend to agree on a certain point, and the majority of a faith believes a certain way, again, it should cause one to wonder where his or her dissenting opinion actually comes from. If said person can back up his or her dissenting opinion with facts and/or biblical text that actually disproves the majority opinion, that's one thing, but Yahu isn't even questioning his own opinion. He's started off with the assumption it's correct, so ******** all the hundreds of years of the Christian faith and all those biblical scholars who think dispensationalism leads to even worse theology.

LMAO! multiple haha
