Oh stop. This thread is childish and stupid.

By the way, I notice that you didn’t touch the decapitation point. I know why.

You’re wrong. And the vast majority of academics who know far, far more than you do disagree with you.

Islam = “to submit” Muslim = “one who submits” These are facts and not up for debate.
To god. Submission to god.
And salaam, the Arabic word for ‘“peace” comes from the same root.

Good lord at this nonsense
I know, right? fricking freedom sucks, man.

The things we see happening around us every day sure do look like the time is growing short.
As has been asked numerous times in this thread (and not answered), how do the things happening today differ from 20, 50, 200, 1000 years ago?

How nice for them. Theyre wrong. Or more accurately they are trying to create a reason for people to buy their works
No. You’re wrong.

The author of Revelation is clearly John the Apostle
:lol: Nope.
quote:
uhhh, decapitation was only for Roman citizens of rank. It was seen as a swift and just punishment. As opposed to the cruelty of crucifixion for the rabble rousers
Yes, reserved for people like Paul. Revelation was written to Roman citizens who happened to be Christians.

Doesn’t seem that way. Like Chris, I don’t really care what you believe, but to state that you’ve never heard anyone make that claim about Revelation tells me that you haven’t really studied it that much, other than through what your religious beliefs tell you to believe.

I think you are overstating the prevalence of Preterism. People have been debating the Revelation for centuries. Nothing is settled.
It’s settled if you use a rational lens. It’s not a prophetic text about our times or any time in the future. It’s a text speaking to Christians during the mid to late first century CE about the things that they were going through at that time.

What is so different today as opposed to previous times?

Is the Roman Empire into beheading people.
Decapitation was a very common method of capital punishment during the Roman Empire.

If so, don't you think John would have included the destruction of the second Temple?
Not necessarily, for many potential reasons.
quote:
I honestly have never heard anyone make such a claim.
Other than pretty much every academic scholar of the bible.
What is the eye roll for? Look at the context in which it was written.
quote:
Revelation 20
4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.
The book of Revelation is about the Roman Empire.
quote:
From among the Islamic ranks will arise a "peacemaker" who will be their Mahdi, but will be the antichrist from a christian perspective. He will pretend to make peace with Israel but will desecrate their temple and declare himself to be God and failure to worship him will result in being beheaded, which is their thing for infidels.
:lol: This board cracks me up.
