Here are some different statistics that I have found helpful in keeping this in perspective. Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched thousands of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Arab–Israeli conflict. As of November 2012, the attacks...

Dear TOG, I have a question for you, do you see this as a war or as an occupation that has been going on since 1948? Digging

Before I say anything more I just want to ask is everyone so far who is sharing on this topic Christian, or are there other faiths also? I don't believe Christians are being faithful if they turn to war or support war. Matthew 5:44 NAS "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those...

Let's consider what this man who is Jewish has said. As for the comment about one side using human shields.....what else do they have? Where can they go? They have nothing more to lose they have no hope left. This is the saddest low state humanity can sink to.....

First of all lets remember that Israel was displaced a few 1000's years ago and even Jesus told them to flee. Jews are welcome in many countries, personally I would leave I believe this is the provision God has given at this time for Jews, similar to what he did for them in the past. Now as...

WHO really is the Rabid dog then.......it would seen there are many on all sides.....I don't recall Jesus teaching such thinking but rather, forgiveness and love leading to healing peace. Digging

It's a very shameful thing I feel for so called christian nations to support what this modern political Israel has been doing for so long now. If you drive a dog into a corner and then start beating it don't be surprised if it tries to bite you.

Well then JLB how can a spirit being be burned with plain brimstone? I find it sad that so many believers are so focused on aware eternal torture as something the creator of life would even want to do. The eternal part as I see it is the plain fact that there is no redemption, restoration or...

Wow watching you fellows talk is very interesting! Lot's of wonderful details, I love it! Hey I know this might be views as off topic....but I had a thought what the descending of New Jerusalem might be a symbol for.....What IF it is a symbol for the resurrection of the righteous back to life...

Yes that's how I'm seeing it now, the 'day' began when Jesus died for us. Thus this makes me wonder that when he said 'today' he was referring to this new day that was about to be given through him. Digging

The 'day of the Lord' is more than just one day. So I have also considered and wondered IF this is the 'day' Jesus was referring to as the 'today' Because the means of salvation through him was now at hand through his death. Like I said I can also see a meaning as if he was saying 'today is the...

It's seems the work 'today' is in the bible over 190 times, and for myself when I look at this passage it seems to me there is more than one way to see it and even understand the meaning of 'today'. The point about the comma shows how easily the words can have other explanations. Thanks, Digging

Funny how a comma can change the meaning so much. Luke 23:43 NAS And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.. There is no comma the translators put them in, thus belief systems of the translators do effect little things like this. Is it possible that the...

I've wondered if there is another way to understand 1/3....is it possible that the 1/3 is a reference to the people alive in the stream of time? Past=1/3, present=1/3 future=1/3? Digging

Yes personally I believe everything that happen with the nation of Israel from the beginning of it's creation to the destruction was a 'model' for a global story God is working out with the whole body of humanity on earth. Digging

I'm sure what I think is fairly different from the common views, but I often wonder if the star that fell was Adam and because of his sin the 'water of truth' has been twisted and turned bitter so then when we think we are 'drinking' living waters we are not.....we are believing the 'lie' the...

Here is another possible meaning to consider for who this 'Man of Sin' could be. Daniel 2:31 "You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue ; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome. 32 "The...

That is a very good observation Chessman, the river of water of life is ever expanding and spreading out giving life, but the lake of fire of death is receded and restricted to one place.....very opposite to each other.... Thanks for that comment and thought, Digging

Your method is old school love, the world is changing and it's time to open up to the positive things of God and the message of life. 6 And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."7 They began to discuss this among themselves, saying, "He said...

Let's back the boat up just a little....... God said you will 'die' Satan said 'you will not die'..... Digging
