Doing these Bible studies makes me wholeheartedly agree with almightygod: (Found via TYWKIWDBI) Anyways, it’s getting close to that time! We only have about 3-4 weeks left in Revelation (I think I can do it in 3, but I’m not sure), so I put up a “what book do you want to study next” poll [...]

Usual disclaimer: I haven’t posted my disclaimer in a few weeks, so sure enough, I had a few comments/emails about how could I be so ridiculous to take Revelation literally! So here goes: Most Christians do not take Revelation literally, and would therefore completely disagree with my study. I am approaching it in a literal [...]

Revelation 11: I confess, I’ve never done hallucinogens. I have taken classes in abnormal psychology, though, and while I am not a big fan of diagnosing people online or in books, this chapter sounds more like a hallucination/delusion from a paranoid schizophrenic than I would think someone strung out on drugs. A note: one of [...]

There is always a point in the Bible where the particular book you’re reading just gets boring. I am kinda at that point already, just because I get it: John was whacked. Reading on and on about the ravings of a schizophrenic on LSD just seems like a waste of time, and it almost seems [...]

Revelation 6: This chapter talks about the seven seals, and no, I don’t mean the cute creatures that live in the Antarctic. John must have moved somewhere, because I don’t think there is room for the seven horses mentioned in this chapter in the cluttered version of heaven we saw last week. The gaudiness of [...]

Usual Disclaimer: Most Christians do not take Revelation literally, and would therefore completely disagree with the interpretations of Hal Lindsey, et al. The reason I am approaching it in a literal way, taking the text at face value, is for the following reasons: 1) It was how I was raised, so I am most familiar [...]

I found a ton of books on Revelation at my parent’s house (even though I typically don’t use sources to write these posts as it makes it too long–everyone has their own opinion; I also want to feel the “power” of the Word for myself, the way a non-Christian who goes to a hotel room [...]

Whoops, meant to publish this last night, but my internet connection was crappy. So here it is a bit late! Revelation 1: “The information in the book you are about to read is more up to date than tomorrow’s newspaper. I can say this with confidence because the facts and predictions in the next few [...]

I almost forgot it was Wednesday! I am hoping I make it through the end of Matthew tonight: I’m sick of it, and judging by the paucity of comments on the last post, sounds like you all are, too! Revelation should be much more fun! Yep, Revelation is where we’re going next. But first we [...]

I am way behind on emails, so my apologies if you have sent me something and I haven’t replied. This week has turned out to be pretty busy. I promise I will get to them in the next day or two. Okay, Matthew 22. We’re going to move pretty quickly tonight! Matthew 22 Back to [...]
