Was Shakespeare attempting to write a historical account?

Imagine thinking the Bible was written as 100% literal historical account, with zero symbolism, allegory, or parables.

Things that would happen before then if you were on earth still. 1. The Rapture - Up to 1 Billion People gone from earth 2. Antichrist hits the scene and 7 Yr Peace covenant with Israel 3. Great World War 4. Famine and Suffering 5. Due to the previous to 1/4th of those remaining after rapture die. Another billion people gone. 6. Killing of tribulation believers 7. Great Earthquake where people wish the rocks would kill them. 8. 1/3 of all tree's and grass gone. Destroyed by hail and fire. 9. Sulfur invades the oceans. All ocean creatures die, 1/3 of worlds ships destroyed. 10.Wormwood in the water, millions die. 11. Extended darkness 12. Locust and Scorpion plague worldwide 13. Death Angel 1/3 of remaining population dies 14. Half the worlds population gone in 4 years. 15. New religious system fail, Antichrist dies but comes back to life and becomes more vengeful. The Mark of the Beast is introduced, and all remaining believers are killed. After that God pours out the worst of his judgements on the world. 16. Sores on all those who accepted the mark of the beast 17. All Water turns blood red 18. Heat from sun becomes unbearable. 19. Pain from sores becomes so bad people gnaw on their tongue and blaspheme God. 20.Battle of Armageddon 21.Judgement and destruction of the One World Government. Those who remain curse God rather than repent.


And throughout all of this, Squirrelmeister and his ilk will continue to vehemently deny the existence of the one true God and the inerrancy of biblical prophecy.

I used to wonder how God could possibly send anyone to Hell. Now I see. He gives us the desires of our hearts. His grace and mercy are sufficient- but He’s not going to force anyone into heaven. On Judgement Day, when shown the account of their deeds- no one will be surprised by the verdict.

You damn well know that this would be the leftist response after all those things occurred too.

Ok so you are saying the genesis 2 is a parable and didn’t really happen? That God didn’t lie because it’s just a made up story?

Good Morning!

I started listening to a pastor out of California, Jack Hibbs a couple of months ago. I really like him. Some of his Anti-Christ sermons over the last month are at about 450k views on YouTube.

Anyway, he released a video from his service Wednesday about AI and it is really worth a watch. It’s about 27 minutes.

I would love feedback on it, because in my opinion, it’s some really intense and scary stuff.

This right here is an example of why Nietzsche called Christianity a slave religion. I think this is truly how Foo, and a great many of “religious Christians” really feel. You’re not religious out of a love for your religion, etc. You’re religious because you harbor fantasies of revenge against people that you hate or are jealous of. I understand the feelings. Those are natural human feelings. I don’t understand the fantasies about revenge being administered by your god in the afterlife.

If you've never believed in the bible: would something like this change your mind or would you just chalk it up to a coincidence?

How the Bible describes the "Mark of the Beast" in no way implies digital currency.

Even in totalitarian shitholes like China, those who are restricted due to their low credit scores are still expected to engage in commerce.

The authors of the Bible had no real concept of a modern capitalistic system and that's why this conspiracy theory makes no sense.

I think antichrist is a jew. Probably a kazarian.
BUT..

Are Khazarians jew or just imposters that infiltrated Turkey and the Caucasus' from Asian steppe areas? It would have happened from about 500 AD through about 800 AD - they were said to falsely claim jewish doctrine, apart from the rest of the diaspora, which spread across North Africa and into Spain and Gaul (France), then beyond.

Most, a vast majority Eastern European jews are of Khazarian lineage, including their off shoot, the Ashkenazi.

This adoration of Nietzsche is your intent to justify the dialectic which you wish to enter. For your own purposes... shared by the neo-Bolsheviks of this world, and currently destroying this country.

Why some "harbor fantasies" is beside the basic legitimate right and freedom of religion that you try to irritate as part of your dialectic, Hegelian or Marxian aside.

As for myself, there is a primal acknowledgement for the righteous goodness and righteousness of what is a reality of the teachings of Jesus and the tenets he brought the world.

This is beyond such wishes of those with YOUR "fantasy" that an ongoing cycle of chaos, revolution followed by death and genocide is what people seek, thus YOUR religion. YOUR "fantasy".

I believe the teachings of Jesus and those who take up "the cross" in their lives. I very much believe it to be a reality. A reality that is every bit as legitimate - moreso - than your gutter "cycles of evil", also a reality of YOUR gutter religion fantasies.

And before you go there, it is a well documented historical sequence and presence that is as provable as almost the entirety of history. MUCH more than what Hegel and Marx taught those who share your "feelings". In absentia and by YOUR "faith".

Not my "feelings" but a well developed occurrence of goodness... that I feel an elemental view that resides in the chosen that those like you feel should be mocked as a result of your evil dialectic. I believe it intellectually but existentially as core truth.

I have visceral experience demonstrating this truth. I have proof that it is righteous. I believe it to be the truth of mankind - the goodness of that truth and that the cycle of dialectic, chaotic catastrophe, revolution, death, and genocide is purely evil.

Freedom.

Praise God from who all blessings flow, not just a convenient "feeling". There is much more..

You must be a Democrat- projection is your only defense against the Truth. I won’t speak for any other Christian than myself- but I absolutely harbor no ill will towards anyone in regards to the afterlife. I have shed many tears over the sad state of affairs that is humanity today. I pray, daily, that He will forgive us all the same. (“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do!”) I pray, daily, that He will open everyone’s eyes and hearts the way He has opened mine. My hope , is that we are all playing our roles- in the greatest story ever told; and that, in the end, the fullness of knowledge that this story will provide… leads us all into everlasting life- full of joy and peace; and that this knowledge will fully illuminate, and eradicate, the desire to sin.

Undoubtedly, there are those who claim to be Christians who do feel the way you described; but that way of thinking is contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a fine line between Justice and revenge. As a recovering sinner, I take no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked- but I understand and respect it, as Justice requires it.

You really should read how it all ended for Nietzsche, and realize where his ideology leads. I pray you make the necessary adjustments.

Christianity was built around a doomsday/apocalypse scenario, along with the feeling of being marginalized and prosecuted. It's in the DNA of the religion. That's why so many fraudsters rely on these tropes to create sects/churches that benefit themselves, and why so may purported Christians have an apocalypse fetish today.

*ETA: before people flip out. I'm not criticizing Christianity, only those charlatans who aren't really Christian who use the religion to trick dopes into believing certain things.

What?

The persecution of Christians by the Romans starts before the Romans kill Jesus in the Bible itself.

Outside of the Bible, and into actual history, it didn't get much better for Christians.

That feeling of marginalization is why the apocalypse dogma is so pervasive in the development of the religion. Kind of like the nerds who get revenge later in life after a certain inflection point.

Oh so Jesus and his Christian followers were accepted by the Romans and other religious leaders of his time? Do explain.
