Featured Last days

neither, just trying to be prepared and ready to go if i either died or raptured today, or be planning for future until either happens!

 

I've got at least 10 people to look after when/if TWEAWKI, how many do you have to think of?

 

Yea, I've given up trying to educate people on what certain views teach. Ill gladly defend my view but not what people think my view is. Just for the record, I'm not A-Mill.

 

You a re a full on pretierist, correct?

 

No, I would consider myself just a preterist, but open to both partial and full. I've flirted with the full preterist position and still consider it the most consistent but I've determined ive gone about as far as I can given the constraints of my intellect.

I'm convinced the truth is on the preterist side just not sure where exactly.:BangHead:

 

So yuo would see the Second Coming already has happened then?

 

I would see the destruction of Jerusalem as the coming Jesus spoke of in the Olivet Discourse. I am undecided whether scripture in other places teaches another yet future coming. Not denying it, just not sure.

 

Do you hold to a physical resurrection of our bodies to a glorified state then?

 

I disagree. I live in Central America where the perception of Americans are that they are entirely ego-centric. I am not justifying all of their excuses, but I will say that questions like that are the reasons why Americans (& American Christians) are viewed as not thinking outside of their own world. There are many on the BB that don't live in the USA. So don't say "this country". The more ego-centric you are makes it harder for me to live where I do. I know what discrimination is based on that. Soy gringo!

And Christianity is global. Make it a global issue.

 

So what? That has nothing to do with what was posted here and it is not necessary to assume the worst about their motives.


As far as the perception that Americans are ego-centric, when someone else has more in this world then that is always the perception even when it is a false perception.

 

I wasn't scolding the motives. I was scolding the ignorance or lack of motive.

And I can tell you that the world isn't jealous of America b/c you have more stuff. I see poverty that is jaw dropping every day. These people are quite pleasant and happy people w/out having "more in this world". It is the American elitist attitude, much of it displayed in the very language of the OP, that causes the sentiment of America's ego-centrism.

I am the first one to jump on a Honduran for looking for the opportunity to be offended at something when they really just want to be a victim. But at the same time, thinking that this world, even this site, revolves around Americans is misguided. And the more the rhetoric agrees with that, the more I am discriminated here in Central America.

 

There are times when you make so much sense!
