Jesus returns in 2017,,,,

Another good point....why would an "omnipotent God"...need "helpers" like Santa Claus???

Why did God send an angel to talk to Mary...why didn't He do it himself? After all He was the one knocking her up?

 

God works in mischievous ways.....

 

Well....I'm glad it's finally here. I'm 80 years old and when I was a child there were roadside signs all over the southern U S which said, "Jesus Is Coming Soon"

Mark 16:
17"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

 

MOD EDIT - Rule 3

Anyway compare this with any secular schools. And while you are at it maybe you might ought to read the history of the Ivy League schools.

Excellence in Education

Regent has been recognized by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) as one of only 22 universities in the U.S. to receive an "A" rating.

indeed! lol...

Regent University School of Law's Moot Court team finished Top 2 Globally at the University of Oxford's Price Media Law Moot Court Programme, competing against teams including the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.

Really? Lol...

Regent University School of Law's faculty were recognized among the Top 10 Faculty in the Nation by The Princeton Review, 2013.

Yep


Regent was named to G.I. Jobs and Military Advanced Education magazines' 2014 list of Military-Friendly Schools.

THANK YOU! The haters probably hate vets too because of their lack of a spine, but I love em. I am a vet as well lol.

Five faculty members have been named Fulbright Scholars,and more than 630 School of Education alumni have been honored as Teachers of the Year.

Regent has been the recipient of more than 360 national and international film awards by the School of Communication & the Arts.

This was a partial list taken at random from a random selection of 'bible colleges'. Hey where are the atheist colleges? MOD EDIT - Rule 3

No one knows the day or the hour. And a day is as a thousand years with the lord. During the time period of your youth there there were many unfulfilled prophesies. So if you are a christian you might should have known who ever made those signs was wrong. AGAIN my OT was NOT ABOUT the exact hour etc it was about signs, and a rabbi who lived long ago and that knows more than I made some astonishing predictions. In fact I think I said I doubt if the Rabbi was correct on some key areas***. Lastly even though I would love for Jesus to return today, I am in no hurry to leave. 80 huh, I should be so lucky. Burns said when he was 80 he would not even buy any green bananas. Lol...

*** I said (excerpt) ; Most of the above was plagiarized from the web but I think it is interesting. Its not exactly what I believe, unless some truly world shaking both natural and maybe supernatural events take place. I am taking a wait and see attitude,

That's like a bacteria asking a scientist why he is running an experiment a certain way. Even if the scientist could explain it to the germ the germ would not understand it. And God may or may not be omnipotent. What the bible tells me is that God has an reason for creating a physical universe which is unlike his spiritual realm, so different that we humans could not understand it. Maybe I can help you understand the concept by by looking at it like a scientist doing an experiment. You are the stinking parasitic germ, along with zillions and zillions of other germs some good some bad etc. The test tube culture is earth. God made the stinking germs saw that it was good. OH no! God saw that some green scum was growing on his beautiful culture so he has to interfere with his experiment and go into the culture!. However so as not to destroy or harm his experiment he uses lasers and other tools to work on the project. Think the destruction of cities in the bible. God saw that one pile of stinking parasitic germs were still surviving. He cant just take his finger and wipe it out, (just as God does not like to come to our universe our dimension etc its better to send angels etc) so he sends in some bacteria germ sized angel nanobots to do his work., the angels etc. Its very difficult to understand some concepts in the bible. The (core message of) bible itself is very simple and easy to understand, but if you are God you can only describe so much in one book written so that everyone on earth from the most intelligent to the poor people with not much to go on can understand the material. If you happen to be a hater or someone that may be curious but really doesn't believe a word of it. If the latter is true according to the bible he will not be able to understand the most simple book in the bible because of his own attitude.

Where did I say that? Flitting about is a accepted literary term, why do I have to educate you in middle grade school concepts?

flit (flt)
intr.v. flit·ted, flit·ting, flits
1. To move about rapidly and nimbly.
2. To move quickly from one condition or location to another.

Now since you and I know you were simply flame baiting which is all you have done in my thread, tell me why I should not report you? I tried to be nice and warn the haters that flame-baiting and other rules violations would be reported unless they ceased. However you just had to ignore me and break the rules ( X2 or more times even after being asked to stop). Your and the other haters constant hateful belittling remarks are not only rules violations, they hurt all of us and the Political forum in its entirety. When a potential new member checks us out and sees pages and pages child like insults and silly stupid but hateful remarks coming from one small group it demean the entire PF membership and forum. I suggest you attempt to follow the rules post haste.

I remember the cars with the loudspeakers who drove around town on Saturdays saying Repent, the End is near.. Jesus is coming soon..

Every generation has its cranks and crackpots.

 

If that's what you learned about angels in Bible College, I have to assume you went to Bible College in East TN.

 

Bullschit......just like the God and Jesus story.

 

I believe a new Christ may need a battalion of ArchAngels and maybe a whole division of Angels.

 

Regent is a Pentecostal school... I would consider it a joke... but you can do it on line.

 

the jubilee prophecy does not exist, it is a fraud

Unless you can provide evidence prior to Israel Today 2008

 

Would a new Christ return in the same manner, if it didn't work the first time?

 

Does Regent University offer a course in "Creation Science"? If so, what does it teach about the existance of dinosaurs contemporaneously with Adam and Eve?

BTW, Regent was founded by Pat Robertson, still current Chancellor.....I'd ask anybody to Google "Pat Robertson crazy quotes" and see if the apple falls far from the tree.

 

Pentecostal is a modern movement that split off from the Methodist Holiness movement.. They have 170 different sects and they believe in things like healing and speaking in tongues.

 

In other words they believe the scripture:

Mark 16:

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

View attachment 31281

 

Are you kidding me? Pentecostals can start a new sect at the drop of a hat.. open a store front church and disregard scripture for personal experience.. and adopt all manner of wacky, inventive doctrine.

They simply are not very well educated.

 

So you're saying this part of the new testament is what?

Mark 16:
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

 

Do you take the gospels verbatim? Don't let religiosity overtake your common sense.

 

A Christian addition much later, not by Mark. As Margot says, don't take Scripture verbatim.

 

Wings are very useful as a means of locomotion in outer space. They eliminate the need for spaceships, especially when traveling between heaven and Earth.

When you make those claims they should be sourced. What is your source for the claims that mark 16, 17 and (?) aren't valid or were added later? Also as for the verbatim remark the bible's (literally a collection of texts) books are written in many different styles and are organized and categorized to make the bible easier to understand and study. Some books, and even parts of books are meant to be taken literally some aren't and are written as parable, poetry, or in a cryptic style. This is one reason I wanted more schooling. That said no schooling is needed to understand the bibles core message.

Nothing and no idea is impossible or wrong. Its best to have some support for claims though.

? Did you read the partial list of Regents credentials? If you think it is a bad school that tells me everything I need to know about why you are here. Still of course you are welcome to your opinion.
