Certainly not... but I believe a reason to worship God and continue in the faith, comes from awe and respect for what he's done to demonstrate his grace and mercy and believing that his justice ultimately will prevail. I've been told in the catholic faith that eternal hell is part of that justice; only don't ask me to explain that. I do have a question about atheism in general. What is it really? I thought it was not believing in the existence of a god and/or any spiritual being? If that is the case, why the "F God" to something that doesn't exist? All that really says is atheists do believe in God but hate his guts?

Watched the video clip. As to the gentleman who said " 'F' God ", I was wondering if he has any fear of eternal hell or any reservations, or otherwise willing to accept living eternally without God; if it comes to that. I would be afraid. His outlook seems as bad as one can get.

There is at least one other pressing of this sensational tune but I believe this is the first pressing:

On Lover's Island Where the trees stand so tall And the dust turn to gold And love never grows old On Lover's Island Where the birds sing of love Seems a gift from up above I met her one day (Met her one day) As we stood alone on the mountain Under the moon and stars above Oh, darling, don't ever go She was Venus, the goddess of love On Lover's Island Where the trees stand so tall And the dust turn to gold And love never, never Never, never grows old Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Alexander Manigo / Leon Peels Lover's Island lyrics © BMG Rights Management, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

Hi Belle! Hope you're well and feel good...

Just got mine... I have to ask my sister if she got hers yet... but she's been moving around so I don't know... LOL

I just did. Thank you Penworks! I don't mean to belittle the topic, but some of these older threads give me hearty chuckles. DWBH.. precious....

Today's message from U.S. post in Poughkeepsie re: ROA 25

Wanted to mention that when it says "all Israel shall be saved" it means that, Jews who now are believers in Jesus Christ and his finished work shall be saved. That is the essence of the "new covenant" that the mystery describes, i.e. that the Jews and Gentiles shall be one body IN CHRIST. The old covenant Jews who still await the Messiah are simply missing the boat and in danger of eternal fire. The only covenant Jews now have to make them "God's chosen people" (just like the believing Gentiles now) is belief in Jesus Christ; not their DNA, or traditions, or anything else. I believe this must be explained again, especially since there are many a good bible teacher who still believe that Jews can be saved without Jesus. Here's an AI analysis of "the mystery" : https://www.google.com/search?q=what+evidence+is+there+that+Jesus+knew+about+the+mystery+in+Ephesians+3%3A6+before+his+resurrection%3F&sca_esv=32ae3e4c27749343&sxsrf=AHTn8zq51dsxT4BdYwIkxeU48BRkbW51Rg%3A1741863008663&source=hp&ei=YLjSZ564JoyFw8cPvonu0Qg&iflsig=ACkRmUkAAAAAZ9LGcE73IFgy7bK_4Z9cmsICfkShRdF7&ved=0ahUKEwie6IGv8YaMAxWMwvACHb6EO4oQ4dUDCBo&uact=5&oq=what+evidence+is+there+that+Jesus+knew+about+the+mystery+in+Ephesians+3%3A6+before+his+resurrection%3F&gs_lp=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&sclient=gws-wiz

YW... I hope others pipe in with experiences about other softwares too...

Thank you for posting Columbo! Preterism is quite refreshing isn't it? "I'm no longer commited to one viewpoint." Yep, preterism can do that to you... it did to me!

First time on this thread... was great reading some of the oldtimers' posts. Would love it if some of them stop by and say hello sometime. ******************* I never knew and know nothing about this offshoot. Found this page from Dr. John Juedes: http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/spl_hendricks.htm

I have been using Norton 360 and find it good. Best part for me is the telephone support ... if you don't mind them remoting into your computer when there's an issue, they will fix it and did a couple of times for me. I got used to the pop-ups after awhile. Here's a search for you on their products and if it were me I'd start with the cheapest... anti-virus for 19.99 and see if you like it: https://us.norton.com/store?expid=PS-BRANDEDREM&promocode=PS30FRBRREMMU&nortoncountry=us&om_sem_cid=hho_sem_sy:~en-us_nor_n36_sch_btg_brd_nfr_adw_dtp_low~c_kw0000001532&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=15588693109&cq_net=g&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA5pq-BhBuEiwAvkzVZSkvfhjLOySHUC4_C76HxlOEF8vdSdRUCL5wqLLj7apT7h_VoUTPoBoCQF0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I never explored this at all but see it as a general reminder to be prepared for living an eternal life with Jesus and try in the here and now to be loving and kind to all. (as hard as that it at times.)

Now I'm always looking for preterist commentaries. Here is another one, from purportedly a non-preterist who actually refers to preterism as "nutty". But his writing is well taken and I think he does an excellent job of explaining "partial preterism" and "full preterism". I can't speak authoritatively about preterism because I'm still trying to absorb it all. It takes some "visioning". All I know is, it's refreshing to learn about new things like this. https://experimentaltheology.blogspot.com/2014/06/on-preterism-second-coming-and-hell.html
