After a nine month hiatus, The Neverending Story, the granddaddy of daily threads, has returned to Free Republic. Originally begun on March 24, 2001, as a religious discussion thread, the NES evolved over time into a daily thread spanning a wide variety of topics. The new and improved Neverending Story will feature conversation on religion, politics, culture, current events, business, sports, family, hobbies, general fellowship and more. We welcome you to hang your hat in our little corner of FR. We ask you to abide by the FR posting rules and, even in the midst of serious debate, to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Those who wish to "duke it out" are asked to take it over to the Smoky Backroom. I placed this thread in "General/Chat" for a reason, so play nice and have fun! :o)
I look forward to seeing them!
And... thanks for the suggestion. I'll post some tundra pictures, too! :o)
Now mine are going to look like nothing:')
Yall want to look at them on the horse thread or ping them over here?
Aside from the obvious difference of being taken in south Texas!
Either way. Post 'em here, or link from here to the horse thread.
Reggie not going to get upset for having to "wade thru all those $%^# horse pictures?:')

I see 144,000 Jehovah witnesses in cheap suits knocking on doors. :-)
I know you don't believe in the resurrection but what do you see in scripture about this?
I believe in some kind of resurrection? I believe God can bring life to the dead. Eziekiel speaks of a valley of dry bones that come to life. Revelation is the product of numberous intertestamental apocalyptic writings with some additions. Hebrew scriptures refer to "end of days" from time to time. The Hebrew mindset isn't focused much apocalyptically. They try and focus on making this world better by "mitzvot" obeying Torah and performing good deeds which may gradually "repair the world" so to speak. Whereas the Christian mindset has this earth about to fold up like a scroll and the people in it hopelessly lost unless they choose "salvation". This view lends itself to greater "awareness" apocalypitcally.
I agree that there is scripture refering to the dead being raised and ressurection in the OT too. I've wondered about the scrolling also and if John could have been seeing a nuclear explosion. Who knows. Anyway, my question was though, what does scripture say about people being able to accept Christ in the last 7 years. I understand some may not believe this but how do you read this?
Was never really sure about that even when I did read NT writings as inspired. You'd probably get a better response from someone else. But I appreciate you asking. :-)

sorry for the double
although it would seem to me that Jael believes there will be many aberiginies remaining along with the 144,000. lol.
