Hook's PointsIs God concerned with our calendar? Alarmists and enthusiasts predict events of great magnitude with the coming of the new millennium. But which calendar would God follow? At the beginning of the next year the Jewish calendar will be 5767; Chinese 4698; Zoroastrian 2390; and Islamic 1421. And if we count from the birth of Jesus, the new millennium began in 1996. Also, our new millennium will begin with 2001, not 2000. The colorful balloons of the money-grabbing prophets are going to start popping soon. That's all about as smart as belief in visits from aliens from outer space. If some other creatures were intelligent enough to make their way to our planet, don't you think they would check out our civilization, gather all sorts of data, collect artifacts, and communicate with our scientists and leaders? WOW!! Bob West's messages on the internet through his cartoon character, Theophilus [http://www.theophilus.org], is getting about a thousand hits per day. Linked from our site. Television and movies have their agendas. There is studied purpose behind all productions, so they try to make them attractive and entertaining to get you suckered into watching. Noah's Ark!!! What a farce as far as presenting a Biblical account! It was ridiculous as far as believability goes. So that must be the purpose of the production - to further undermine the veracity of the Bible. Who said that English is a simple language? The letters ough can be pronounced in eight different ways, as in this sentence: "A rough-coated dough-faced plough-man strode through the streets of Scarborough, coughing and hiccoughing thoughtfully." (Borrowed). If that seems complicated, just think how many different tedious doctrinal interpretations are based on such a "simple" statement as: "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" (Heb. 11:6). |
