No, it's not in Revelations...It's in Daniel...and it's talking about the 3 1/2 years before one come to renew a covenant with many....then after the other 3 1/2 years will be judgement....Which = 7, the Judgment was on the Jews at the 70 ad when Jerusalem fell to the Romans....It's historical....It was later changed by the Roman Catholic church....and they tampered with scripture a lot.....manipulated what texts would go in.

BTW...I was raised very strict Christian....and started researching the founding of the Christian faith....You will be surprised at what you will see, if you get all the resources and read about it, and not just from the Christian book store....cause it's all slanted..

see this is the thing, Like you guys have said man has written it. As people we carry opinions and our views, so its hard to know which to trust. The Bible itself that has been know for many many years. and then new research comes and may prove what we believe to be true wrong. So its hard to choose which way to go.

I do believe there is something much bigger than religion...I do believe in somekind of afterlife....
And the research comes from where?...There is history in the Bible...What research are you talking about.

Just do what you know to be the right thing...Because I feel we all go to the same place anyway...Think for yourself and sure...read the Bible if you want..There are many good books that have some wisdom...But really...It's all inside you anyway... on how to treat other people...just don't judge them is all....And the problems with most churches, and I didn't say all, and most of the bigger denominations or religions(Muslims..etc) are the judging....and adding to their numbers. For those based on the Bible they base their teaching on what Paul taught, more than Jesus..
I think everyone needs to realize that all religons are in a sense absured and funny.Their's more than one way to the top of a mountain and for anyone to say they know the only way is very funny to me.
Lets face it.According to someone else your going to Hell to burn forever no matter how good of a person you are.Religon needs a major makeover and I think where on the verge of it.
Depends on the religion also....some believe you also have to be baptised, some eat only certain foods also, some keeping the OT feasts, some other holy days, some God in three persons, others God is only one and praying to Jesus is praying to another god...All considered part of the Christian faith...All feel they are doing gods will.....which group is correct....which will be sent to hell?...Because each group feel it's the right and only way....Oh, and some feel you must go through confirmations and other rituals.....Pick...which one is correct, or is there something that wouldn't care less about silly man made rules?
Ha.... I would like to drop the end-all-be-all answer to everyone's questions on religion and beliefs.
Let your heart decide. Listen to it, and follow it. NOT emotions! Your heart, your gut, whatever you wanna call it. Yes, I would like to see folks get right with God, but I understand and respect the fact that many dont give a hoot about what I want, and I respect their beliefs.
Just trust your heart. (though, loving one's fellow peeps is a nice thing, if it aint too much to ask.... ) 😄

Oh it's very funny.Read some Gnostic text and you'll see Jesus found it very funny too.As his lower self was crucified Jesus stood below laughing.
These pictures of a mutalated man we hang in our homes is sickining.Lets see more laughing Jesus pictures.
