Christian theology. Hmmm.

The entire Bible is about Christ. Old Testament, New Testament. It is so that mankind can see their need for Christ, to be looking for Him. Throughout the OT they looked forward for the Messiah. Everything there points to God's salavation. In the NT it's about Christ's redeeming work on the cross, and then for those who believe (as in the OT) points us to look for Christ to come (again.)

It's a book about God's love. Yes, it can be seen as devisive. The book is about God, not about being "politically correct" or "pluralistic." It is about the need for salvation, the provision by God, and the great joy of being in His presence for eternity.

God's love shows through because it isn't a secret. HE has given us this textbook to follow, to read, to understand.. it's a road map to HIM. Don't feel insulted or hated because of what you read there, but feel God's love in that He has provided this way for you to know HIM. TO KNOW GOD! WOW! You don't have to accept what God says. But please don't hate the messengers of His message. If you had a neighbor that knew something was about to happen, even though to you it might sound bizarre, wouldn't you at least want him to tell you? Of course you would! You would want to make your own decision. How could you decide if the neighbor kept it a secret?

We are in the end times, I firmly believe that.

Sometime most recent has assured me of this, beyond what began to develop once Israel became a nation again. In the end times the country now known as Russia would become allies with the country we now know as Iran, and they would work together to eradicate Israel from the earth. If you are a history buff, well, you know some of the background on that.
What I have realized recently is that Iran has hired Russian workers for their nuclear program. How obvious this is to the world. First, Iran "knows" the USA won't attack because of the relationship now with Russia and not wanting to begin a war with them again. Second, this is end time prophecy.

I know many ppl will say oh, the Christians have been looking for Christ's return since he left the apostles. Yes, that's true, but they didn't have the prophetic answers, the results, like we do today. I mean, for 1948 years they supposed the reestablishing of the nation of Israel was a symbol of the Christian church, because there was no way for them, a small, scattered people, to become a nation again. Well, in 1948 Israel did become a nation again. And then they also took control of Jerusalem (another phophecy.)

No, it isn't disturbing to me, because I have studied and understand much of it. It's a great love story, that I accept by faith. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.
