Originally posted by sonhouseIt has been said/taught by some theologian types that Paul believed the "rapture" was eminent, but later in life changed his mind. I believe the "rapture" is eminent, and that can last for a long time.
That was the assumption left the troops I think. They were led to believe it was coming soon. Not 2000 frigging years later.
The way it is now makes it a perpetual scam.
But there's a great deal more to that line of reasoning than meets the eye. The second coming is a different matter altogether. A lot of history has to transpire before those prophetic events begin to occur.
In the mean time take my advice and forget about time. You should focus instead on not being so cock sure there's no God.
What gets to me is how one can be so casual about things beyond our comprehension. I don't know how God created the universe, and neither does anyone else. All we know is that He spoke it into existence.
On the other hand an evolutionist will talk as though it's a forgone conclusion that the universe came into existence by whatever means the latest theory happens to suggest.
I hate to make this personal sonhouse, but your arguments in this forum denouncing the Christian God and those that believe in Him are rife with emotion. I think your capacity to reason logically is severely hampered by your undisguised hatred and fear. Don't think I enjoyed saying that either. Just sayin'. For your sake! 😳

And they shudder, sigh a sigh of relief that religious wars are in the past and kids won't grow up with fairy tales told as truth.
Parents should teach their children. They should not just leave it all to the government schools.

Originally posted by wolfgang59What I meant to say is that I believe it is wrong to teach children to believe that Satan's lies are the truth. I believe one of those lies is the theory of evilution because to believe that undermines ones faith in the truth of the Genesis account of creation and the belief in God and Christ. However, I would not object to teaching children to believe that the theory of evilution is a lie.
So you think it wrong that children are taught Satan's lies?

saying evolution is from Satan is a joke.
