Hey readers, I have an itch recently to post a lot of recent news and opinion here (on Putin’s aggressive and inhumane moves, even against his own people), but before you continue here, could you please take a look at Unseen’s post that imo isn’t getting the attention it deserves?

Alright, Michael, now I understand – prophecy is a sort of evidence to help people feel their faith is well placed.
How does this prophecy lead specifically to the abrahamic god? Why could this prophecy not be pointing at a different root cause, or god, or even a group of gods?
If we accept that prophecy is real and is a ‘magic’ phenomenon (for…[Read more]

Michael, in your belief system, what purpose does the prophecy serve? Please try to answer me without ‘beasts’ and ‘horns’, etc. I’m not asking about the content or delivery mechanism of these prophecies, just their purpose

Those’ll be the ‘unorthodox perspectives’ I was referring to, Robert.
The aspect of Michael I was pointing out, was his good manners. As far as his beliefs are concerned, everyone’s free to attack them. Or even try to clarify them.
Michael and I have just discovered we share a disbelief. Neither of us believes in hell, eternal torture or vengefu…[Read more]

Hi Popie, thanks for posting this.
I agree that Michael may have some unorthodox perspectives, but he does not insult or mock anyone and never has, in all the years we’ve known him.
I respect him for that.

Hi Michael
Are you saying there’s no ‘hell’ or post life torture?

PopeBeanie replied to the topic So here's how the GOP is rigging 2024 in the forum Politics 3 years, 9 months ago
I just fear that since it’s longer than a sound byte, few people will stick it out.
To be honest, I avoided this until now because I expected it was going to be just “another long video”. In fact I already knew most of what it’s pointing out. Except for the recruitment of BigLie-believing poll venue workers being trained to throw m…[Read more]

Are you guys actually getting anywhere? I’m thinking of moving your posts to your own topic, but it’s sooo much work! Back to my topic, a short video on recent events:

Michael, not much of an answer to Beanie’s thoughtful questions.Thank you Jake. While Michael responded partly with “I have historical proved the Revelation to my satisfaction. However it is still a leap of faith since we cannot scientifically prove that there is a God.”
Even if a leap of faith is not how I arrive at c…[Read more]

Hi Michael
Just to be clear, are all these prophecies leading us to ‘Armageddon’ or are they just random predictions about life in general, like a mystical horoscope?

PopeBeanie replied to the topic Is the Temporal Power of the Popes Returning? in the forum Theism 3 years, 9 months ago
Hi Michael,
Only if you have a moment for a digression from your specific topic: I’ve been assuming (perhaps incorrectly?) that your main hypothesis regarding “authenticity” of scripture is based on how its revelations pan out over time, proving they’re from a divine origin.
Putting that aside, or even presuming that many revelations are…[Read more]

Well hello Michael! Long time no see 🙂
I’ve got about an hour to kill in my car, later so I’ll have a read of what you’ve been thinking recently, then.

Anecdotal evidence in support of “It’s not Russia, it’s Putin”:
… especially if Putin, the guy running this war, strikes with WMDs.
(While some postulate that Putin’s isolation during covid has greatly reduced his interactions with people other than his hand picked yes men.)

Hi guys
Just had an email back from Rebel saying he’s currently in Pakistan but unaffected directly by the floods there.
