Ask a Christian

[Death Dark]

Following the popular series, here's Ask a Christian.  I will take serious questions on social, religious, and such related topics.

[Buradi-Mari]

It's "Ask a Christian," therefore, I can answer questions as well.

[Death Dark]

Read the topic description, and then cease your petty babble.

DD, do you think that if a women is raped, and by some extreme chance becomes pregnant, do you think that the federal government should step in and help her raise the child seeing as how she's probably not going to child support?

[Death Dark]

That, truly, is up to the government.  However, taking that all life is sacred, the government should help with the child raring.

Also, if you want to take a Leviticus approach to it, the government could stone the man and give the man's property to the woman/child.

Who do you think Gog and Magog are that are mentioned in Revelations that will rise up with the Beast against Israel?

[Death Dark]

The Eastern and Western allied nations.  That's just a major guess.

[Hobro]

What do you mean by the "Eastern and Western Allied Nations"? Could you name some of the big ones included in that list?

[Death Dark]

Well, in a blind guess at the future, I am assuming a great alliance of nations.  There will most likely be two major ones.

However, now that I think about it, this makes no sense, and holds no relevance.


Let's re-answer.

Who do you think Gog and Magog are that are mentioned in Revelations that will rise up with the Beast against Israel?

It is far too soon to tell.

Why do a lot of Christians judge others by the way that person acts/says?  The Bible said that only God's supposed to judge others. And why are a lot of Christians/Churches hypocrites?

[Death Dark]

1)  Judging a person is saying that "[person] is going to Hell," and similar phrases.  Determining the values and morals of a person by the culture whose style he portrays is merely common sense.

2)  Humans are hypocrites.  Christians are humans.  Ergo, Christians are hypocrites.  Besides, most Christians today are very bad examples of Christians, and they don't do much besides make the rest of us look bad.

[urusai]

Oh. Okay, then.

[Buradi-Mari]

Dear Brother,
       Do you think God made six of us because he knew I would be more like you and Dad and Urusai would be more like Big Sis and Mom?

[Death Dark]

God didn't necessarily design us like that.  I think Mom and Dad had more of a say in making the four of us.

[Hobro]

Theologians are always discussing where The Beast will arise from, some say Europe, others say Asia, etc. Yet, these places are rarely mentioned, if not at all, in Revelations. But, what place is discussed the MOST in Revelations? Why, Babylon. Ancient Babylon is located in Iraq, not far from Baghdad. Babylon is said in Revelations, to be where The Beast makes his "headquarters" if you will. This all leads up to this question, where do you think The Beast will rise up from?
