Dear Anon, Hold on! Let me answer each statement separately, 1)"There is no ruler that the Christian is responsible to except Christ" This sounds pious and even like it may be Biblical but it is false. Hebrews 13:7 says "we are to Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you ...

Dear Anon, I like your spunk. You are tackling some tough issues. I took a brief look at the website Jesusradicals you referred to. What you are reacting to, I believe, is what I would call statism. Hegel, a 19th century philosopher espoused statism when he said, "the state is god walking upon the e...

Vegetarianism
Dear Anon. You are right to question what is happening in our world with regards to food. Many Christians seem unaware that there are problems out there. A few points: 1) The New Testament teaches that we are at liberty to eat all foods. 1 Timothy 4:4,5 says with regard to food; "For every creature ...

Dear Bud,
Another book you may consider is Dr. Kenneth Gentry's The Beast of Revelation. You can find this at www.americanvision.org Search under Gentry or go to the Eschatology category. By the way it is the number six hundred and sixty six not just three digits.
In Christ,
John Barbour

Reply to Jeff
Dear Jeff, My question was meant to be somewhat rhetorical. I was interested in the audience here at the Family Bible Fellowship Forum. I'm glad you attempted to answer it, however. Let me attempt to reply to the issues you raise. 1)"I don't really understand why a Christian would be Terrorized, per...
