When the rover has done its drilling down through the Mars outer crust down to about six feet, the little green men will emerge in an angry mood and with super technology will fly down to earth and take over.
This will make the scientists and evolutionists very happy since it comes from their belief that the other planets were/are populated with aliens.
On the other hand what may happen is that the drill will discover martian rock, martian rock and more martian rock.

Could it be Protestants actually have some sort of knowledge that gluttony is a sin while some of the other faiths don't? If so, praise the Lord that not all of our Puritan Heritage has been forgotten.

Fared well with Sandy cause I live a few hundred miles from there. A friend of mine who works for the power co was working there a week or so ago. He said there are a lot of folks still without elec or gas. And I thought the president fixed all that when he visited for 2 hours before the election! I guess it's not so important now.

The individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine,
it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence."

John, I'm surprised. I thought all born again Christians believed that the millenium was to come. How could we be in the middle of it when the events that precede it have yet to happen? Not to mention that Christ clearly isn't reigning on Earth right now. I don't understand where the division comes from.

Been a while since I studied the issue but seem to remember that there may actually be more than one "millenium", depending on the context. Some say the church age is one millenium while the new heavens and new earth are another, but that these time periods are not necessarily meant to be taken literally.

Long ago, I believed this nonsense, along with everyone else... until I read the bible and not Hal Lindsey, C Ryrie, and the rest. The thousand years in the Revelation has about as much to do with a reign of Christ on earth, as the statement Jesus made to Peter has to do with the papacy. There is no relation. It is very straightforward. No complications. The definitions of these statements concerning the rapture, the millennium, etc., are given throughout scripture many times. They have nothing to do with what we have made them. When you finally see what they do mean, it is amazing that we could ever have come up with this. and a blessing to understand. I tried to explain this years ago, but no one wanted to hear it.

I never read much less understood the Bible when I was younger, but had access to many graphic charts illustrating what the authors of such understood to be end-time events spoken of in the Bible. It was much easier at that time to study and believe these than the actual scriptures.

I've already noticed that too many Evangelicals are evangelical Republicans first, perhaps Christians as an after-thought.

Divorce may not be the root problem but it's a big intermediate one for sure.

This show is highly accurate -- but it suffers from the sin of omission, since I'm sure that various groups like teacher unions have the same system. A little more neutral program where we Republicans pitted against Republicans, [URL=http://video.pbs.org/video/2298009584/]]]Video: Big Sky, Big Money | Watch FRONTLINE Online | PBS Video[/URL].
Anyway, voter ID is just a cover for a modern day poll tax to keep people who legally should be able to vote are stopped by monied interests. Voter fraud isn't all that great. In states where it might be a problem let them handle it, but not as means to stop the elderly or poor from voting.

I never even knew that ultrasounds were mandatory prior to abortions. So, the mother sees her little baby, maybe with a thumb in his/her mouth, etc, and says, "nah, kill it". I'm not a woman, but to brutally murder a helpless little baby? What kind of a degenerate person is capable of something like that? A baby feels no pain at that stage...I just don't believe it. I think that is a lot of bull being spewed in order to soften the mental blow on the already enraged activists, haters. When a baby is being murdered, he/she just happens to go wild with convulsions at the very same moment?
