Hedera is screaming right now. They're actually cranking out hundreds of transactions per second. This might be one of the only cryptocurrency platforms that's doing real-world business, as the Atma.io use case went live last week. Sometime early tomorrow, the Hedera Mainnet will process its 3...

Tony's a great guy. We attended the same church for a long time out here in Eugene (he lives here part-time). I never got to know him personally because it just felt intrusive to not let the guy worship on his own, but my buddies and the pastors who know him think the world of him and his...

Explaining us? Yikes. Good luck. My wife just knows enough not to ask anymore. :LOL: Hope your girl's doing better, by the way.

The word "Kansas" is the name of a Sioux tribe.

How interesting to see this text just now. I think God is trying to tell us something. He's certainly telling me something. About 30 minutes ago, I sat down to read my Bible (it's still morning here on the West Coast). I didn't know what I wanted to read. I had just finished the book of Mark a...

That's one happy dad right there. Glad you all were able to celebrate with him. Here's to 50 more!

That is great news. If you don't know where to start reading first, you might consider reading the book of Mark, which is the shortest of the four gospels. It will give you a very good overview of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Now, about anger... Jesus showed emotions we might recognize as anger...

That is awesome. You're going to benefit from just about any Bible you read. Below is just my opinion... Here's a chart I linked in a prior post. The versions on the left tend to be stricter translations, while the ones on the right sacrifice strictness in a desire to more fully capture...

The Mark of the Beast will be clear. You will know that you are receiving it, and you will know that you are committing evil that puts you fully beyond redemption when you choose to receive it. Revelation tells about the mark in a few different places. What are the characteristics of it? 1. No...

Definitely praying for you guys, both for the grief you're all facing and figuring out what comes next. That's hard stuff, man.

You have asked all sorts of questions, and I've taken a lot of time and care to answer them as thoughtfully as thoroughly as possible. There are still some questions I haven't addressed regarding the Rapture, but like I said in the last post, I wanted to finish all your Antichrist questions...

You've brought up more questions about the Antichrist, so let's deal with that first before talking about the rapture. It's probably best to be thorough on a single area before jumping into a second, though I will indeed come back to your rapture questions. We won't leave Scripture out, though...

I apologize. I should have gone directly to the Greek when this all started with you a few weeks ago. I try to avoid going that deep in the weeds because it's not how I study on a daily basis, and it can overwhelm and confuse new believers or folks just learning about Jesus for the first time...

You've not been insulted by anyone on this thread, yet continue to insult others yourself. That's not great. Share what you know, if you want to. If you've read the Bible and have a belief about the meaning of end-times prophecy, by all means, share it. There are many of us who believe there is...
