>>Pointing out that you are wrong is not scoffing, my friend.<<
Simply stating what I heard and asking if anyone else heard it makes me wrong? Wouldn’t that rather be classed under looking for the truth? Sheesh. No wonder you preterists have a struggle.
You've been had, my friend. Caught parroting someone's hoax . See Snopes .
>>Pointing out that you are wrong is not scoffing, my friend.<<
The scoffing part was pointing to the onion web site btw.
But it turns out The Onion is a accurate as your source, no? What is it about these items that gets you folks all jacked up, twisting the truth to fit your end-times scenario? You could have easily disproved the "report" with a simple google search. Rather, you took it as an opportunity to jump on the microchip == 666 bandwagon. Is it the sensationalism?
I’ve been watching this sort of futurist nonsense for almost 40 years and I have yet to see any truth in any of these claims. But the prophecy pimps keep cranking them out and getting the unwashed masses all worked into a lather.
>>I have yet to see any truth in any of these claims<<
When you do it’ll be a shocker to you won’t it.
The prophecy fulfillment train keeps on chugging - another day, another piece of the prophetic scenario falls into place!!
Give me a “for instance”, a real sticker. That's the thing with your futurists, your imagination gets the best of you and they you criticize folks who don't have that imaginative quality.
But, according to your theory time is fast running out. We have only a few years. The futurists have been making similar predictions for 40+ years and nothing. What makes you think you can do any better? What insight do you have that your fellow futurists have missed?

Contact me when the Dome of the Rock Mosque is destroyed. I would say sometime in 2011. Is that firm enough for you?
Tell you what, I'll donate $1000 to the ministry of your choice if the Dome of the Rock Mosque is left “without one stone upon another” by the end of 2011, if you agree to donate $1000 to American Vision if it's not. What do you say? Or you can pick any specific, significant, prophetic event. (I'll just point out, for the record, that there is nothing in the Bible about the Dome of the Rock or its destruction, so, technically, what your looking forward to is not a prophetic event.)
How certain are you? C'mon, even a fraud like Hal Camping is willing to spend mucho dinero on the claim that the rapture/judgment day will happen on May 21, 2011. Prepared to man up?
I don’t do wagering or betting under any circumstances. I’ve put my analysis out there let that be sufficient. I’ll tell you where in the Bible I believe that is included when the event happens.

For the record I think he is in error on the Rapture and for sure it will not be judgment day but calling him a fraud is ill advised. He may be in error about his understanding of Biblical prophecy but I don’t believe any of them try to decieve.
I can understand your reticence to save your money. You analysis can't stand up to the challenge.

Either it's there or it's not. But it ain't gonna happen, so I'll not hold my breath.

We judge men by their actions, not what is in their hearts. By that standard he is still a fraud. Anyone who speculates on dates is a fraud and a deceiver, and ought to be exposed as such.
Wagers and betting, by definition, involve the element of chance. If you're sure of your theory then it's not a bet or wager. If it's in the Bible then there's no chance involved. It's a challenge.
But it's not in the Bible, now is it?
>> I can understand your reticence to save your money. You analysis can’t stand up to the challenge.<<
I was afraid you would take that approach. Get the behind me. You are now on my no respond list. Please take me off any ping lists.
