I didn't say that. I just said getting a chip implanted in you was a dumb idea--it doesn't matter what appendage you put it in. Why?

We have a technology that appears to be frighteninly close to the "mark" in Revelations. Close?? Only in the imagination of some futurists.

By the way sir,Israel exists! There is a modern secular state called Israel that exists. Is it akin to biblical Israel? Hardly.

Meanwhile, Tyndale has signed with LaHaye and Jenkins to extend the 12-book "Left Behind" series, creating two additional books. Oh NO!! They just can't give this up can they? And this from someone who read every single one of them!
I will also read this new series by Hank, hoping it is interesting! Good Christian fiction is a blessing.

I was going back through some studies on the Immaterial Part of Man by Lewis Sperry Chafer in his Systematic Theology, and later watched a bit of DeNiro playing the beast in Frankenstein.
Too bad we don't have more literature and academia who find in depth stimulation by first studying Scripture and theology and then applying it to film.
I'm also amazed how classical literature isn't more often reviewed along those timeless themes as presented in Scripture. Plenty of robust depth to tickle the senses of any 'philosoph' of the arts.

Don't tell me,...the LaHaye series leads into a Star trek scene of the Borg morphing into the Matrix and bringing the City of God back to Earth.

I consider the question to be a minor doctrinal issue where reasonable people can disagree as opposed to a major doctrinal issue, e.g. the deity of Christ, that is fundamental to the Christian faith.Me too, but it is a passion of mine to study it. I would be interested to know what you mean by "historic" premillennialism as opposed to "dispensational". Could you elaborate a bit. I think I know, but I am not sure.

Are you really writing a novel? How exciting. I always think about doing that, but I start them, and then never finish. Hope you do!!

The same way that SO many challenged the Davinci Code. A work of pure fiction, but everyone started attacking it as though it was an actual fact. I haven't read that yet, but people who have told me about it, do think it is true. How weird is that?

Do you really want the government, especially if it falls back into the hands of the Democrats, to have complete access to monitor your every movement and expenditure? Prophecy aside, that's pretty short-sighted if you ask me.

Well, here's the thing: Dan Brown has said publicly that he believes the Merovingian thing and wrote TDC specifically with the purpose of popularizing it. He's essentially just taking the thesis of a couple of books from the 90s,
Holy Blood, Holy Grail and
The Messianic Legacy and putting it in a fictional format that far more people will read--and even more will see, when the movie comes out.
Since so many people are reading TDC and accepting what it says as true (France is being flooded with tourists going to see the sites described in the book and trying to find the codes for themselves right now), concerned scholars, primarily Christian, felt the need to counteract Brown's claims with reliable history.

From what I have read about tdc, I don't have an interest in reading it. If I want to read Christian fiction, I just come to FR and read some GRPL posts. ;-)

France is being flooded with tourists going to see the sites described in the book Actually when I'm in LA one of my favorite pastimes is to look for buildings and places that were described in old Detective novels.
To: Buggman
Not sure I want to read TDC. I looked at it, and I just think it is too far out for me.
Dan Brown has said publicly that he believes the Merovingian thing and wrote TDC specifically with the purpose of popularizing it.
That's what I gathered from people who read it. I will pass on this one.

Christ said no man would know the times and seasons, With all due respect, He didn't say we couldn't know the season, quite the contrary, we can. We just can't know the day or the hour.

it was fiction. How do you challenge fiction?
Well -- you realise it and I realise that, but many people actually think it is the truth, just as many think the 'Da Vinci codes' are the truth -- I've actually heard people say that 'Since it's in a book it must be true'. Needless to say these are people who normally don't even read a newspaper...

Maybe the slammies realise one thing -- when someone attacks the tenents of a faith and publishes it in the media, it leads to many weak minds thinking the attack is true -- and so many who've never read the bible but have read the Da Vinci C's think the churchs are wrong and that the Gnostic truth is THE truth
