John Darby

Some post-tribulationists out there believe that the pre-trib. rapture theory was invented around the 1800's . This is just not true. We have Ephraem's teaching who lived AD 306 to 373. At least the manuscript dates back to the sixth century if not back to Ephraem himself. In this document the gap b...

St. John's Wort

Actually I have started taking St. John's Wort which is Hypericum perforatum. Don't know if that what your referring to or not. I heard that in Germany they do prescribe it. Here they now keep it behind the counter because it affects the birth control pill. I told the pharmacist that I don't think I...

Fear of Death Having Doubts

I call myself a Christian, I read the Bible, I pray, I have asked Jesus to Come into my heart. Yet I have these doubts. I still fear death. What if there is no after-life? I guess it start about 2 years ago when I spent 5 days in hospital with Pneumonia (was a smoker at that time). I guess it had to...

Sabbath

The Old Testament looks forward to Jesus Christ and the New Testament looks back to Jesus Christ. The law doesn't save us , Jesus and the Cross does. Sabbath means rest ! Jesus said Come to me and I will give you Rest! I believe Paul said something to the effect of Don't let anybody judge you by the...

sometimes its cruel to be kind.

"if it harm none, do what you will." Without getting into scripture the one thing that comes to mind first is another saying "Sometimes its cruel to be kind" or sometimes we are actually doing harm and not realizing it. Sometimes what seems wrong in the short-term is what is rig...

You're not all that familiar with the concept of satire and hyperbole; Are you ....... There are some subjects where satire and hyperbole even to make a point shouldn't be used. "We have no right to ask the world to believe our message unless there is something about us that is unexplainable a...

you think this funny

First I would say if any of you think any of this is funny then you need to examine your heart because its sinful. I was very unhappy to read some peoples comments and unless I misunderstood their reasoning I have lost respect for them. What is even worse is that you all or at least some fell for su...

change your line of thinking

Canuckster , you have taken this in some other direction than the original question. I don't wish to debate George Bush and his policies. The question was never about Bush and/or Islam.
