According to historians the Book of Revelations was written by a Christian exiled to an island, writing against the Roman Empire. Is it possible his writings are completely misunderstood?

It was hope that they would be liberated and freed and their oppressors would be punished. So I don't read into it a whole lot as a .

What is the difference between calvinism and lutheran interpretations of our protestant faith? Great Question. The main difference is probably the Calvinist doctrine of predestination.

Calvinists usually use the Presbyterian form of government, while Lutherans use a variation of Episcopal government....

Little did they know that a poor infant born in a barn would be God on Earth. So judging from that, it's more likely that Christ will come back looking more like Whoopi Goldberg than this figure we're expecting. As far as salvation through faith alone, I imagine he knows ; and I'd imagine that he...

Kind of a hope for not only a peaceful world but also a just one.

Why do most people who have English as their first language, not speak a second? I think it's just because since the US is such a large country, people rarely come in to contact with people who speak other languages so for most English is all that is even applicable. I speak Spanish decently, but rarely if ever do I have an opportunity to use it (in fact I wish I could use it more).

Tell me about the most disgusting hotel room you have stayed in, or left. My dad has a knack for finding cheap hotels that are awful. We stayed in one in San Francisco a few years ago that was pretty bad. When I saw the movie The Pursuit of Happiness, the hotel/ Apartment Will Smith and his son were staying in was the one that we stayed in.

What is a Cumberland Presbyterian, and how do they differ from other Presbyterians? Cumberland Presbyterians split from the main group as they ventured into the frontier of America. In the mainline of Presbyterianism, ministers were required to have many years of education in college and seminary before they were ordained. Because the frontier didn't have these educational resources, they had to create their own way of creating ministers to serve in these churches....

Is Noah's Arc supposed to be a true story, or is just meant for children? Weather or not you believe that the story is true or not, it is like many stories in the Bible that we aren't supposed to worry to much about weather it happened or not, but what we can get out of it. It would be wonderful if one could read it and get that God was going to reconcile with God's people in other ways than drowning them (thank goodness).

No. The proof that makes me positive it was not a conspiracy is that if you look at the dirt flying in the air after one of the rover things, it's a perfect parabola, which can only be created in a space-like environment. Otherwise, they spent a huge amount of the taxpayers dollars to film it in some crazy vaccum.

What was the stupidest commercial you have ever seen in your life. There's one Ford Sportka that I don't think ever aired on TV, but it was on the internet.

Should you always give to the homeless? I agree with most here. I think it's also great to give to the needy. It's a lot better if you can go buy them a meal at a restaurant or offer to buy them some groceries. I think that helps the most. My church has an arrangement with a local Grocery store where the church will give the homeless person a check that they can present only to the grocery store only to get food and stuff.
