Ten Objections to Christianity and How to Respond

Only the Father knows the appointed time of Christ's return. Since, I am not God the Father it would be vanity for me to take such a bet. If Christ doesn't come until I am long in the grave I could care less because I know that I serve a risen Savoir that will come to call his own back home.

Red Sea Swimmer [post 59]: "Holding onto a false belief..."

You have now stated twice that Jesus is a liar and will never return as He promised.

On what do you base your claim to know the future?

[weshess]

I never understood the "Christ Killer" line of reasoning. God calls Isreal his chosen people, therefore, who am I to say anything bad about them? It was my sins that killed Christ as well as the sins of every man and woman.

Left Leg Status Update...At least three minutes have gone by, and my left leg is still here. It hasn't been severed by a lightning bolt from the big guy, and it is showing no signs of plague.

Gee, bizrat hashem, I just might get a few more decades good use out of it.

I would think that by now, Jews and Christians would understand that they have a common goal for survival, co-existing in peace and love

Based on prophecy, we know that certain events regarding Israel and the rebuilding of the Temple will occur. The New Testament tells us that any nation that lifts its hand against Israel will be destroyed. Some of our Jewish brothers don't understand what allies they have in us backward fundies....

Jesus answered him , "It is also written, do not put the Lord your God to the test"

Matthew 4:7

I don't think anyone here on this thread has forced you to believe in Him, but nobody asked of you to ridicule or deny our faith. Despite my family being on opposite ends of the spectrum, somehow holidays manage to be a wonderful occasion of celebration of my Judeo-Christian heritage. But that alone has allowed me a glimpse on both ends of the spectrum, to see how people with extreme and uninformed and narrow-minded views think about the other. And you know why I find this a tragedy? Because in all the faiths in the world there has yet to be any other two so closely tied together as the Jewish and the Christian faith. And again, remember, our fight should be a common fight against the ones who are trying to destroy us and not against each other, our fight should be for ensuring survival of Israel (for spiritual and political reasons) and our fight should be against the new enemy which parades around the world as being a religion of peace but its plans are being more sinister and more in depth than most people realize.

It would take too long to tell you here now. This is not the forum, although it does help. I don't know the future but I think I have a pretty good picture of what is going to unfold and a returning carpenter from Nazareth is definitely on the radar screen.

The only "Rapture" that might be played out in the near future will be an old Blondie track at a party.

Time is on my side.

[weshess]

That was basically my point is that Jesus came fiorst for the Jews then the Gentiles.

[weshess]

dagnabbit Fiorst should be First.

Correction to last post. Should read -

...I think I have a pretty good picture of what is going to unfold and a returning carpenter from Nazareth is NOT definitely on the radar screen.

Zoe the Malamute started howling outside and distracted me for a second. She howls when she hears a siren in the distance. Smart and very sensitive dog that she is.

Send us a message from eternity and let us know how the leg's holding up....

[Quinotto]

And I thought you were posting with a Swedish accent :)

[Red Sea Swimmer]

I need a spelling bee aswell..

[weshess]

I have a pretty good picture of what is going to unfold and a returning carpenter from Nazareth is definitely on the radar screen.

see even you admit that Christ will come back.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Would that be North Swedish or South Swedish dialect ?

In the north they spell - "Moose", in the south they spell "Mooose". It's somehow related to the Northern Lights..

[Red Sea Swimmer]

See my post 91. There was no Freudian Slip. More like a Zoe Slip.

[weshess]

Sorry post 95 was according to your post 88. If you don't believe it is your choice, since God gave us freewill. But you are being pretty degrading to those of us that have had their lives changed through our acceptance of Christ.

[Captain Beyond]

Bump! Great Post.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Are you wishing death, or as you put it "eternity", on me ?
