[quote:Anonymous Coward 31603792:MV8yMjYwOTI2XzM4NTQ2MzA1X0VBMEQ3QjMy] [quote:Sir Phydeau:MV8yMjYwOTI2XzM4NTQyNzU1XzFGMTFCMEZD] [quote:Loki's Magus:MV8yMjYwOTI2XzM4NTQyNjgxX0FDMTA2MDlG] [quote:Sir Phydeau:MV8yMjYwOTI2XzM4NTQxOTAxXzdEMjAwMjQ0] Loki ... if I might offer some advice from my own experience here. I have many interpretations within my belief system that are well off the beaten path. Heh, I'm a Hebraic roots, Torah observant, universalistic, non-Trinitarian Messanic Simeonite. Wow, what a mouthful. :D Pretty much the only thing I find that I am in agreement with modern Christianity is that, "Yahushua is the Son of the Father", while not even agreeing with the names thrown around. So, yeah ... I've had just about every religious insult you can imagine thrown at me. Anyway, to the advice; I've learned to make it a habit to include a LOT of qualifying statements like, "These are just the foundation of MY belief system, I do not profess to have all the answers nor telling anyone that their interpretations are incorrect. Nor do I expect nor demand that anyone agree with me." Recently, I've even gone so far as to start my religious postings with something like "DISCLAIMER: The following posting does not necessarily represent the opinions of the Father. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!" This seems to keep the trolls and insults to a minimum and helps to create a discussion that is conducive to allowing us to come reason together without strife. It's been a very long road for me to get to this point and I still miss the mark often. But it certainly helps. [/quote] I am not Loki, I am Loki's Magus. People sometimes seem to have difficulty understanding this for some reason... Don't know why. However thank you for the advice. It is most helpful. [/quote] I merely called you that as a short form ... much like some might call me "Phy" or "Sir P" or whatever. Just saving myself a few keystrokes and being lazy. :) [/quote] I see. Like I said, I am likely scrapping the whole thing and replacing it with something better, so your feedback on how to style a message on the GLP board has been helpful to me as it can be transitioned into a document as well, albeit with a slightly different style. Everyone's feedback tells me something, but you have been kind enough to throw in some advice, and I appreciate that. And I wasn't upset about being called Loki or anything. I was just pointing this out in case you didn't know, and now I know you did, so that's that. [/quote]
Original Message
Bible Fact 1: The New Testament has been written and re-written many times over, and nobody knows what the original content is.
Bible Fact 2: Many meanings explained in the book of Revelation are the author's own perspective on what he believes the visions mean, using standard human filtration.
Bible Fact 3: The person who wrote Revelation clearly believed the vision was related to things happening in modern day, and some references are not part of the vision at all.
