RE: UNDERSTANDING THE END-TIMES - A NEW SERIES FROM PAPA-PEPPER
I'm not religious. To many (esp kids) have died in the name of religion, it is a man made -up construction/mindset. To me the 'books' are works of man, modified over time to suit a mans purpose. I am interested in the history component they may contain and how it relates to archeology. However I understand and accept that others do believe in these institutions, and from them I gain learning & understanding as to why, which helps my learning also.
Understood. Some of us are still on the "inside" trying to steer our religion into a less destructive mindset. Let us know how we are doing :)
There is so much info / investigation on the net. eg the history of the biblical texts, how & when they where changed etc.
The "interpretation" of those texts I appreciate, it's the "blind faith" & the "preachers" (that take money from the poor for themselves) that I disagree with mostly.
I'm with you about blind faith and greedy preachers. I have not heard of KEK. Are you aware of the branches of eschatology called Preterism and Historicism that say those prophecies were usually fulfilled in the lifetime of the prophet? Or belonged to a genre of biblical literature called Apocalypse which was not meant to be taken as a prophecy of future events but rather spiritual events?
No I have not heard of those, but will research. Thanks.
I've been seeking an answer to "Why is the Queen a Queen", and the rabbit holes are amazing! & lots of Royal blood line & religion comes into it.
I'll bet. One of the mindsets that needed to be challenged before we could have an American Revolution was the Divine Right of Kings.
The last revolution or the current one? :-)
FYI the kings stuff heads all the way back to Switzerland / Lichtenstein area and before that gets very hazzy...(pre AD 500'ish)
I so want a look see in the vatican (if I knew latin & greek)
ie pre 0 AD...back to egypt times.
Dan Brown was possibly on the right track IMHO
