Ron wrote: Matthew 24 doesn’t reference a dual night/day setting. That’s why i didn’t use it.

Of course you didn’t use it. Matthew 24 basically infers that judgment will come to Israel and nowhere else. How else would one escape it by fleeing to the mountains?

It’s generally agreed that those verses in Matt 24 are actually referring to the destruction of Jerusalem and the 2nd coming. And BTW those that fled to the mountains when Rome leveled Jerusalem were spared.

Note to Elsa: Before you begin reading my reply. It might help you to understand better where I am coming from. You can do that best by listening to this teaching/sermon called Hell’s Best Kept Secret. It’s meant to teach Christians how to share their faith, but if you will take the time to listen it will give me a point of reference and keep me from a lot more typing. And while you might not agree, you’ll at least understand my game plan.

To Elsa and the rest of the Internet: Because of the huge amount of material in Elsa’s comment (here) and because it takes us so off course from the original theme of my post about Ron Paul, I have started a series of posts to handle each point. Some will not go much further, but I would imagine some will take on a whole new life of their own as well.

1. Matthew 24
2. Does Science Disprove the Bible?
3. Is God’s Plan Better?
4. Why Ron (that’s me) Believes the Bible
5. Personal Experience = Truth?
6. Loving God and Hell Reconciled
7. Could She Be Wrong?

News: KeePass 1.09 available! – KeePass

If you don’t have/use KeePass, you should.  At least if you like secure passwords, but don’t like typing or remembering them.

This is probably my most used program after Thunderbird and Firefox.

Ubuntu “Gutsy Gibbon” Should be out this week.  Once it’s out, I recommend getting a live-cd and trying the demo.  If it works with your current hardware you’ll be wanting to switch soon.
