so, coming from a non-believer, please do tell us what God is really like

I would say that you have said enough in your post above, to indicate you really do not know

however, very quick to judge and sounds like you came here to do just that

God has made a way out of your predicament. His Name is Jesus and God did not send Him into the world to destroy it

you sound bitter...is there a reason for that?
I know one thing, that your God must be pretty weak if he requires some dirty sinful monkeys to stand up for him.

Daniel was a "closed" book until the coming of Christ. But since Christ said WHOSO READETH LET HIM UNDERSTAND in connection with Daniel, we are expected to understand what Daniel revealed in view of the NT prophecies, particularly the book of Revelation.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)...

Daniel already wrote history in advance (until the Roman Empire), but he also provided an insight into the future, which is Daniel's 70th week (the worldwide reign of the Antichrist and its aftermath).
How about history all the way to the end and the Ancient of Days sitting on the throne....including the wars between the Selucids and the Ptolomies <--Kings of the North and South <---and how the beast comes from the Kings of the North....as well as what Rome devolves into...I.E. split between East and West and the 10 toes, horns that will rise out of the attempted mix of Islam (clay) and Romanism (Iron)............and how the little horn rises out of the 10 and subdues 3 of the 10 = the 8th and final kingdom to rule over the Middle East!!

I notice you are adverse to answering direct questions with direct responses.
Meanwhile you call Swaggart "bruddah" and promote his teachings.
Sadly wrong on all counts ... believe me, bruddah is not a term of endearment.

There are a couple of visions that we understand but the rest of the book is closed.. Why do you reject what Daniel says about itself?
I don't reject what Daniel says about itself. But Daniel was writing around 600 BC and at that time it was a closed book. By 100 AD it was an open book.

You did not give a direct answer, so now you are being dishonest. If you do not believe his teachings, why are you putting them forward as if they might be true for me? Oh, yeah, I get your point. More of your dishonesty, really.

I really wish you would stop accusing me of something untrue. A lot of you appear to believe a person can lose their salvation- which MoTC uses Swaggart comments to ‘prove.’

When have I ever accused you of something untrue? If you are accusing me of that, you are a false accuser. You refused to answer my direct question directly, after putting forward something as if it could be true for me, even though it flies in the face of what you profess to believe. You are an untrustworthy witness.

You really think Christ's true church is in bad shape? Try again. Christ is fully in control of the direction of His church. The whole problem is: antichrist hijacked Christianity and runs most of the mainstream denominations. These so called Christians will be the main perpetrators of the persecution of the real church.

I didn't see any direct questions . . . just statements of fact that I disagree with. I don't suppose I should expect a New Ager to agree with me at any rate.

More of your false accusations, and dishonesty. Proof positive: you are an unreliable witness.

I reported you for this post, it’s wrong, rude and hurtful. I sincerely hope you get banned.

ROFL
The end times is now 100AD. You are ludicrous! Where is Jesus on the throne in Jerusalem. Where is that throne. Isaiah states that he will be on the throne there. When did the tribulation occur. Keep in mind that one of the prophecied events of the tribulation is 1/3 of mankind on earth will be killed. As bad as WWII was killing 60 million people that is nowhere near 1/3 of mankind. No other war even came that close.

Methinks you messed up understanding the end times scenario.

He's your God too

everyone's God

He created everything

all your spite and self loathing will never change that
