Epic thread...who would have thought that the Political forum would someday generate the largest crowd in Spurstalk's short, infamous history...this forum was supposed to be a short-timer for the 04 Presidential election, but people kept coming and coming and coming and look at it now....
WOW, just wow!
It won't stay this way. I'm sure it peaks at election time and then drops off for 3 and a half years.
I don't know either, which is why the whole thing is intriguing to me.
No one has told me they think Senator Obama is the Anti Chrtst.
Our church doesn't side with politicians one way or the other. They tell us that we are responsible to vote according to our consciences before God and that what we do is between us and God.
I never meant to cause a scene in this thread. I responded completely honestly to the questions asked me.
I never would have broached the Senator Obama/ AntiChrist subject on my own, but felt it would be deceitful and wrong to pretend I hadn't connected the two in my mind when I have.
I cannot say that my mind is completely set at ease- that I feel assurred that Senator Obama is not the anti christ.
But all the information in this thread was thrown at me quickly and I have not had adequate time yet to process it.
If he's the anti-christ, shouldn't you go do something about it angel? Like go after him with a flaming sword or something?
...but that's how forums get going...I remember the first year there where maybe 10-20 semi-regular posters, by year 2 maybe double that, by year four maybe double that...today I can't even keep count of all the regular posters in this forum....undoubtedly it will decrease once the election is done but I would not be surprised to see the hardcore crowd stick around for a long, long time..
She should vote for him because that would mean the Second Coming is right around the corner.
God would understand.
This, gentleman, is entertainment for the whole family.
The Anti Christ's, whoever he is, war is ultimately with God. I will let God handle him.
Does God have a flaming sword? Or a really sweet hammer?
Angel_luv, I wonder what you think of this speech of Obama on the topic of religion
It may increase or decrease your concern.
Actually, as soon as the NBA season starts, Ill probably be MIA.
If Obama was the anti-christ this election wouldn't even be close...
LOL at being the antichrist. It is kind of funny to think this is how it'd be like with one figure all of a sudden wooing the masses.
How so?
If Obama was the anti-christ this election wouldn't even be close...
Has Findog volunteered to do the full body search for the 666 mark yet?
Isn't it in the bible that no one cane stop the anti-christ? Not even Zeus and his lightning farts.
God has the Sword of a Thousand Truths. Stan Marsh gave it to him.
Is this Angel Luv person for real? How do we know he/she isn't just trolling?
I'm still waiting for the fundies to respond to this:
The story of Jesus as presented in the four gospels of the New Testament is essentially a piece of fiction. There are no authentic references to such a figure in the works of any historians of the early 1st century CE (common era). The pre-gospel writings of the early Christians also make no reference to the life and teachings of a recent historical Jesus. Paul, for instance, was supposedly Jesus' contemporary, yet he never claimed to have met him in the flesh or to have met anyone else who had done so; he encountered him only in visions, as a spiritual being. The Christian groups of the 1st century CE held extremely diverse theological views, and this would be hard to explain if they were the followers of a single, recent teacher. Remarkably, they showed no interest in the holy sites and relics associated with Jesus' alleged earthly career; it was not until the 4th century that pieces of the 'true cross' began to surface, and that the first shrine was set up on the supposed mount of Jesus' death.
It is only in the four canonical gospels and certain other New Testament writings that the now orthodox story of Jesus is to be found. The gospels, however, were largely written in the 2nd century, have suffered numerous alterations and additions, and contain significant contradictions and inconsistencies. Their shortcomings are recognized by Christian and non-Christian scholars alike. Some theologians are now prepared to question not only the virgin birth and miracles, but even the much more fundamental doctrine of the resurrection. Theology professor Burton Mack, for example, goes as far as to call the gospels' portrayal of Jesus 'fantastic', 'the result of a layered history of imaginative embellishments of a founder figure' [1]. But even the very existence of a great Christian founder figure living at the start of the 1st century is highly implausible, given the silence of contemporary historians and even 1st-century Christians [2].
H.P. Blavatsky stated that the story of Jesus was invented after the 1st century. Jesus, she says,
is a deified personification of the glorified type of the great Hierophants of the Temples, and his story, as told in the New Testament, is an allegory, assuredly containing profound esoteric truths, but still an allegory. . . . Every act of the Jesus of the New Testament, every word attributed to him, every event related of him during the three years of the mission he is said to have accomplished, rests on the programme of the Cycle of Initiation, a cycle founded on the Precession of the Equinoxes and the Signs of the Zodiac. [3]
The gospel figure of Jesus is a Jewish adaptation of the mythical godman found under many different names in ancient pagan mystery religions: in Egypt he was Osiris, in Greece Dionysus, in Asia Minor Attis, in Syria Adonis, in Italy Bacchus, in Persia Mithras. All the major elements of the Jesus story, from the virgin birth to the crucifixion and resurrection, can be found in earlier stories of pagan godmen. As G. de Purucker puts it:
the 'Gospel' story is merely an idealized fiction, written by Christian mystics in imitation of esoteric mysteries of the 'Pagans,' showing the initiation trials and tests of the candidate for initiation; and it is not very well done, there being much error and many mistakes in the 'Gospels.' [4]

and a really sweet hammer
Thank you.
I will read it tomorrow when I am alert and not so tired- worked a double today.
If Obama actually turns out to be the Anti-Christ, angel_luv is going to have one heck of a bump . . .
I personally can't wait for UFC Friday: Obama vs Christ on Pay Per View.
I also heard rumours that Obama is already shooting boy 3: The Anti-Christ who loved me
Your beliefs are dangerous to the health of this country. If there is a significant portion of America that believes what you believe may God help us that none of you ever gain political power or sway ever again.
The worst part about you is your ignorance in the face of facts. You make ridiculous claims based on your gut feelings but when presented with facts that CLEARLY show otherwise you refuse to accept them. You are the worst kind of thinker there is, you essentially don't think. It's worse than someone who is merely ignorant of facts, you refuse facts.
