why thank you, Randy. I knew I could count on you to shield CL from the question.
Unfortunately, that link isn't terribly helpful to the discussion. It insists Revelation is not literal, but it doesn't provide much insight into what they think is actually going to happen during end times, nor how the actual end times will be any less brutal than what's depicted. The simple fact seems to remain that if you and/or CL are claiming that Christ's second coming will not entail damnation for most of humanity, this is an even more baseless assertion than usual because it isn't even backed by scripture.
I responded before I even saw Randy's post lol. Check it out!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
