true what you say......

it is hard enough figuring it out first-hand from Jesus. But now we'd be gettiing Jesus second-hand thru Paul that should be really interesting.!! So Id guess wed have to filter thru Pauls life and his "stuff" in order to get to Jesus.... that should be fun... look forward to it.

No need to change the name.... We are still trying to figure out what Jesus was thinking. We're just going to get Paul's opinion on that :)

In case youre interested the calculated date is 10/21/2011, thats right next year!! But theres more... the believers will leave the earth (rapture) on 5/21/2011, and the last 5 months of history wil be pretty nasty. Its not quite the same as the 12/21/2012 date which seems to be highest on the list nowadays.

Have a nice day!!

i was on the internet and was checking a christian website called Family Radio. I am familiar with it because when I was first a christian over 20 years ago I listened to it regularly. it is very conservative in its understanding of the bible i guess you could call it fundamentalist. I still listen to it from time to time to try to understand where other people are coming from in their understanding. I was scanning thru a publication of theirs about the timing of "end of the world" called WE ARE ALMOST THERE in which the author, who is also one of the founders of Family Radio, calculates the end of the world and Jesus return using various dates and numbers as used in the bible. Anyway this paragraph really made it very clear to me how this man interprets the Bible so I though Id share it. It showed me how there can be some many interpretations of biblical passages depending on ones framework of understanding. I cut and paste this passage right from the book.

We can outline a number of fundamental truths that the Bible teaches us, and they are as follows.

1. The Bible is a very analytical book. It is not written in such a way as to encourage subjective analysis or philosophical reasoning (II Peter 1:20). It is written like an engineering book, wherein truth is presented as absolute fact.

There follows a number of other points if your interested you can find this book on familyradio.com/english/ click on literature online. It is pretty confusing but it all has to do with numbers and their meanings. In a way I find it fascinating though i have to say i dont agree with the supposition that the bible is an analytical book and should be understood like an engineering book!! In fact i have a degree in Civil Engineering and as it turns out so does the man who wrote this book!! Amazing how differently people can think and see things. In fact i used to think along these lines years ago , though not so dogmatically as this.

Im interested in these

Ephesians, Galatians or Colossians.

Wed have to come up with a new name if we study Pauls writings. WEd be dealing with a mere human now, not Jesus.
