Re: Fake News

There is an interesting article from the LA times: The U.S. is no stranger to interfering in the elections of other countries . The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it’s done so as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000 ... In a 2006 inte...

Re: Zechariah 14:3

TruthInLove Thanks for your comments on the Jerusalem in verse 2. I still prefer the understanding that Jerusalem in verse 2 is about the apostate Jews in 70 AD as these verses fit well with that occasion. Thanks for the information on the other thread about the kingdoms of Daniel. I'll read the mat...

Re: Zechariah 14:3

Doug, I found the point that the spiritual powers are being judged to be very helpful as well. I agree that many OT prophecies were not intended to be literal. I had believed a literal and dispensational-futurist approach was correct until I heard the case for a non-literal and preterist approach fr...

Re: Zechariah 14:3

TruthInLove, Thanks for your reply. I think there is adequate biblical justification for understanding this gathering of wealth as references to people becoming disciples of Christ, especially Gentiles. I agree. The nature of this fighting would also seem to be spiritual... The abrupt transition fro...

Re: Zechariah 14:3

Thanks for your answer. The idea of conquering through the gospel seems attractive given Daniel 2:44. I am in the process of reading Duncan McKenzie's book "The antichrist and the second coming". He does not explicitly address this question when discussing Zechariah 14 (in Volume 1, chapter 7), howe...

Zechariah 14:3

This passage says . How can the preterist view the Lord fighting the nations as being fulfilled? God did not destroy the Roman army in 70 AD.
Thanks

Re: 10/25 Afternoon show - Re: voting

Do you base your ideas about God's will for human government on the Law of Moses? For me, I believe the entire Law of Moses has been done away with, replaced by laws of conduct in the New Covenant, or "Law of Christ". Are you coming from a Christian Reconstructionist perspective? I also hold the op...

Re: 10/25 Afternoon show - Re: voting

Hi Homer, Yes, it is a very interesting topic, thanks for taking the time to discuss. Regarding the person's body the State has asserted some right. There is the long history of the draft for military service and jury duty for example. But first what do you believe is valid regarding law? I see the ...

Re: 10/25 Afternoon show - Re: voting

Hi Homer, Thanks again for your reply. And seceding involves taking land that in some sense belongs to the state. This is not an assumption that I share. How far do you see the ownership of a ruler as extending and why? One could assert the apparently identical argument that a persons body also belo...

Rather he believed that God had shown him that he must kill Hitler. My understanding was the same until this evening when I took some time to try to better inform myself of the assassination plot by reading a few internet articles. Apparently he had no direct involvement in the plot to assassinate ...
