    Anyway, the point remains, he really didn't have proof to back up what he was saying, and he stepped way too deep into theology, which was what resulted in his house arrest.
    Sure blame the scientist.

    Learn astronomy and geology from the bible. Psalm 104:5 "the Lord set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved."

    All the answers are there.

    Galileo was a hack, as was his predecessor Copernicus.

    Excuse me while I go burn a fatted calf, a pleasing scent unto the lord.

    I think there's definitely potential for this to be correlation and not causation. My first thought is that the type of person who would have a glass of wine with dinner, or a whiskey every evening, tend to be more affluent, and that people with money tend to be healthier. Obviously, money doesn't make you healthy. But it gives you better access to health care and medicine. And, the type of person that is driven to become financially successful is also more likely to take care of themselves, see a doctor on a regular basis, etc. There's nothing particularly scientific about any of that, but then again as far as I can see there's nothing particularly scientific about epidemiological studies, either.

    Having said that, there are apparently many such studies saying the same thing, as opposed to the handful of studies that condemned fat in the middle of last century. Rip, do you have any thoughts on what mechanism might cause this decreased mortality?

    The fact that blended whiskey exists demonstrates the non-existence of god.

    The word "mark" means to engrave, could mean a tattoo. "charagma" is the word in the Greek, meaning etching or scratch. The actual mechanism is not as important as the intent and that being once the mark has been taken there is no turning back. If the mark is refused the result is execution.

    Whether it means 7 X 24hrs or 7 years is not the point, the point is He created.

    Rev 6 is a descriptor of 4 conditions that will exist prior to Christ's return, False peace, conquest, war, famine, pestilence and death. Colors are not without significance.

    This is a can of worms. This is speculation on my behalf, but I just find it curious that the description of Babylon appears to indicate a city that presently exists.

    There are some commentators who say that "Babylon" must be reconstructed before these words can be fulfilled. Saddam Hussein tried but you folk went over there and removed him.

    Others say it is Rome, more specifically the Vatican because its colors are red and purple. Still others claim that Babylon is only a symbolic description of global conditions on the earth at the end of the age.

    My thoughts are controversial, I do not think that Babylon can be rebuilt in Iraq. Besides the description of this city is port city with ships bringing and trading commodities, the list is in Ch 18.

    This city has commerce, trade, banking, world government and sits on many waters.

    This city had millstones as part of its heritage and ability to grind grain and produce wealth, it has a flag on which there is a windmill and barrels of flour that indicate its industry.

    There is a city within this city called Babylon.

    Rev 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

    Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

    Where are these millstones? Some are buried in the foot paths of this city. "Millstone" is a name synonymous with in this place.

    The original Babylon was known for its commercialism and world religion and was in control of the then known world, the name is not important but the concepts are. They exits today.

    However as I said this is all speculation on my part.

As for me I tend to lean towards the latter view, however what ever I say don't take my word for it, check it out.

    That quote that you have tendered appears to be describing Preterism, that being all the events described in Revelation occurred in the past, i.e. the destruction of Jerusalem under Titus about 70 AD, therefore the book of Revelation has no future reference.

    There are three other views however, Futurist, Idealist and Historicist.

    http://heraldofhope.org.au/index.php/publications/ (These folk are futurist)

    http://www.gotquestions.org/futurist-Revelation.html

    You have to look at Mark Rippetoe's training manuals, they are intricate in detail and explanation, but like any disciplines you care to undertake you need to apply due diligence, same for the study of the Bible. You think Mark Rippetoes training program is easy, hell no, it is damned hard and not for the faint hearted, well the same applies for study and application of this Bible, it is not for the faint of heart either, but it will lead you into a training program also, the prize being the gift of eternal life.

    Starting Strength = Physical Strength = Healthier life

    Bible = Spiritual Strength = Eternal Life

    If you have questions on Starting Strength you can ask the author who due to his generosity with his time will answer your inquiries. (Even some of the dumb ass ones) But he ain't going to do the lifting for you.

    You likewise can ask the God of the Bible who will help you understand what He has written, but He ain't going to do the reading for you.

    Both require perseverance, discipline and participation.
