I wouldn't doubt he had found some good fungi or just plain gone made based on the imagry in that book... not to mention he had been imprisoned on a small island, living in a cave, and was nearing 100 years of age. I have to admit, I love Revelation for what it is - a motivational speech.

i like the concept of a final battle between good and evil and god laying the smack down.

i saw an awesome short film involving jesus with the book of life on his laptop before the impending apocalypse, and satan trying to convince him to hand over the laptop to protect it from jesus senior and his plans for judgement day.

Sounds interesting.

Sometimes deep down, I wanna be sent to hell when I die..just to see god's or jesus's face when i'm burning and then he goes.. "WHOS LAUGHING NOW BITCH!!HAHAHA!"

I gotta admit....if that happens,I would probably have a little laugh..and then cry back into torture.

you'd be hard pressed to make me laugh if i was on fire :/

The whole fire thing really annoys me to no end... IT'S A METAPHORE!

BTW, if you take a closer read of the new testament you'd see that it really says the Kindom of God is open to all who do not reject the love of god (which is to say all love), whether you believe or not. Many Christians dislike this idea as they believe there should be some reward for their faith that's exclusive to them; however, if their faith is correct then despite their desire to the contrary there is no such exclusive reward awaiting them.

Chill out choir boy. Its gonna be good friday tomorrow.

One way to describe the Bible (Old plus New Testament) would be to say that it is encoded using the steganography method. Another legitimate way to describe it would be to say that it uses the "Chaff and Winnowing" technique of encryption. In addition to that latter method of encryption, an ancient Oriental method of encryption called "parallelisms" was also used. So even though it were to be winnowed (i.e., the chaff removed), the resulting parallelisms would still have to be solved in order to know what was meant by what was said.

At the present time, the most thoroughly winnowed portion is the so-called "Gospels" portion. The parallelisms winnowed from that portion are available for solving at http://greatriddle.flifree.com

Fixed.

Hm. Perhaps you mean the Koran, aka Qur'an?

Well, it seems reasonable to suppose that Clara did mean to say "Koran"; so, until Clara says otherwise, her comment will be answered on that basis. As to the Koran, the contents of the Koran are neither completely true nor completely false. Ditto for the contents of the Bible (Old plus New Testaments) and the Book of Mormon. The only advantage that the latter three have over the Koran is that a way to remove the chaff was provided in the case of those latter three, whereas it was not likewise provided in the case of the Koran. So the only way now known to remove the chaff from the Koran would be to finish removing the chaff from the latter three, then solve the parallelisms, and then use the solutions to remove the chaff from the Koran.

Haha! Yes, some of the statements in the Bible are laughable. Thanks for giving an example. But laughable is not the criteria for paying attention to it, or ignoring it. The method for knowing what is valid and what is not, is that words are established to be valid if they are in the Bible, and/or the Book of Mormon, by more than one author. For the purpose of this determination, the Book of Mormon is considered to have one author. Hoping that this clarification helps, heretic5.

Sometimes, somebody is first to make a discovery. If that happens, then other people have to decide whether to investigate, or to ignore it without investigation. Some people make the right decision; others make the wrong decision. The person who made the discovery is not responsible in either case.
