> Sometimes things are said on the other board that discount faith. It's hard to argue with science, and who would want to? However, have you ever tried to sell your $160 text book to next year's college student? Lucky if you get $3.00. Why? Because it is out-dated as soon as it is written. Now, take the Bible............
It's fine, and in fact it's the idea here, to support faith, but please don't do so by discounting science, which could lead others to feel put down. Even if they have faith.
> I wrote this in a hurry, so if I offended anyone, then just get un-offended because it wasn't intended.
If you think you may offend someone, then please take more time to post. Not intending to offend isn't an excuse.
> I don't know that the world wants to believe in the Millennium because it would mean that righteousness wins and evil is overcome forever.
Please also don't imply that those who don't have a particular belief are evil.
> I hesitate to get into this because most of what we understand concerning the millennium has come through modern revelation … and that concept offends mainstream Christianity, as Christians do not believe in revelation or in doubting, proving, or in searching for truth. They just believe. And that is good, but do modern Christians believe in Jesus Christ? And, if so, do they follow his path? Personally I don't find the power to do that in "I believe", rather in being and living (be-live) it.
Please respect the beliefs of others and don't post anything that could lead them to feel accused or put down. I've asked you to be civil before, so now I'm blocking you from posting for a week.
