RB, how would you go about witnessing to her? I bet she would be impressed with your car.

Originally posted by RBHILLDo you think you would have been drawn if your faith had been stronger, or if you had said a few more prayers? Or do you think these type of drawings are determined by random chance?

He asked something about the American Indains and all the otehrs that have never heard of Christ. What will happen to them?
Also, what happens to all the people who died before Christ was born? Is it only the jews that get saved? If so, what about jews now? If they don't get saved but jews from before Christ did, there must have been a cut-off date when God ceased supporting them. I suppose there would have been a period where you coould get a 'Free Upgrade To The One True Religion Version 2'. A bit like Microsoft in many respects.

Yes indeed.

When was this saviour prophesised? Unless Adam & Eve were told of the saviour when they were kicked out of Eden, there would have been a period when people would not have known of the requirement to have faith in him. Is faith in a prophesised saviour an intrinsic part of the Jewish religion? Such an important requirement surely would have made its way into the core of the Jewish faith so every Jew would have faith in a coming saviour. Presumably, after Christ, those jews who believed him to be the saviour would be the Christians and the rest would still be jews waiting for and having faith in a saviour they felt had yet to arrive.
Does that make sense? I had no sleep last night and I'm a little tired.

The Patriarchs and prophets all looked forward to the "Day of the LORD" and "The Kingdom of God." Again, many would say that is the time when Jesus came. He said, "Repent, the Kingdom of God is at hand."
There were also groups of Jews in the Intertestamental Time that believed in a coming Messiah. Some thought he'd come as a military ruler to deliver them from the various ruling kingdoms, especially the Romans around the time of Jesus. There were others that expected him to come as a king. And there were still others who did not expect a Messiah to come at all. The first two took the Hebrew Scripture literally. The latter group considered the scriptures to be good for learning from but not actual events, especially the issues concerning the Messiah or even God's personal involvement in the world.

In the audience questions part 4:45 minutes into that part the black man ask a very good question.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesDamn right! My first guest would be Tammy Faye Baker. I would offer her a chance to have sex wit a black man before she died. Of course it might be hard to find a black man that would want to have sex with her, but when the Lord calls you you have to give it your best.
