Moose, wealth of knowledge, as Warren said, is so fucking vague. Knowledge is ever-increasing.

One world currency? Not that hard a prediction, again. Also, the Euro isn't even close to being the currency for the entire world. Not even for all of Europe. The day that China and the US both use the Euro is the day I eat my words.

Everyone watching the same thing at the same time... Is that the exact phrasing? Maybe by watching the same thing means that Jesus will project a great light from the sky (all around the globe), or something that every single person will be able to see. I don't think they were speaking specifically of TV.

So yes, they are vague, and they do have to be interpretted loosely to reach the conclusions that you are stabbing at, and especially for you to consider your religion "absolute fact" or however you phrased it.

And condoms DO NOT protect against every STD... In fact they can be ineffective against most. For example, I know a particular STD where the sores, when they come in contact with another body, spread the disease. You can get some STD's without even having sex with someone; rather, just with sleeping next to them. Not everything is fluid-born.

There are plenty of specific things about what will happen in the end days. extremely detailed descriptions about the deceptive leader that will unite the world, it even goes as far to say what nation he comes from, how he will rise to power, and the specific things he will do. Not stuff like "he will kill the chosen people." Stuff like that could mean any war anywhere ever in history, just about. But even that fact that the Bible is so indepth and specific about stuff ... This isn't like "Scorpio (Sept21-Nov21) You will have a good week. Beware of Thursday. Work on your relationships." I can pick out a good part of every week, every thursday I hate, and I'm always working on relationships!

But all of this stuff about the end days happens after the Rapture of the church. All the true and faithful Christians will, "in a twinkling of an eye" be gathered up by God into Heaven. So if all the sudden over 1/3rd of the worlds population vanishes, then start being wary about some of the stuff the Bible says, okay. I'm not saying any of this will happen in my lifetime. But things are always lining up, they have been since Jesus was born! The Bible tells me to always be ready for the Rapture because we, humans, aren't allowed to know when the end will begin.

..

But hey, atleast I'm FINALLY getting some support on my thing about being able to be infected through saliva and that condoms don't work! But no one even acknowledges it... not even a "fuck you for being right." ... that's all I ask :(

I disagree that condom don't protect against STDs and HIV. I think your teachers are telling you that just to completely scare you out of having sex, pretty much saying that you WILL get an STD if you do it. No matter what any of you say, a condom is better than nothing.

Yeah but the specific stuff you pointed out has not yet happened. And, mind telling me like who the people are and stuff? Not that I doubt you, just that I'd be curious to hear what the Bible has to say about that, and I don't have as quick access to the verses as you.

Warren, condoms may be better than nothing, but they do not protect against the sores that can transmit diseases simply from skin contact in the genital area. It's not just a scare tactic by teachers.

Warren never said that, he said HIV, and STDs, though I consider rashes to be under a different category, as it's not really sexual (ie if you touch it, and rub it, you'll probably get it)

Lots of Christianity stuff

That's because the specific stuff that the Bible says will happen will happen after the Rapture of the church. These things, the global currency, etc. is all going to happen in the last 7 years of the existence of the world after God has already taken all of the Christians to heaven and left the earth. You can still be saved during these 7 years of tribulation, but since there will be no Christians on earth it will be kind of hard to get the real deal on what has happened and what will happen.

Well, for a little present day stuff in the Bible. You know that piece of land that the Israeli's and Palistineans are fighting over, the West Bank I think it's called. Well that fight started back in the Bible when Abraham had his first son. God told Abraham that we would have more with his wife, Sarah, sons than the stars on the sky. Well his wife was barren so eventually, after trying and trying with his wife, he got a servant girl from Egypt (of a different race, mind you) and had his first son with that woman. But later God kept his promise with Abraham and gave him many sons with his wife, Sarah. Back in those days it was the tradition that the first son inherit everything from the father. Since Abraham lived on this land, when he died the son of the egyptian woman wanted it all to himself, because it was his by the law of the land. But God had promised Abraham those many sons and that they would receive their father's wealth. So the land went to Abraham's promised son. The son of the egyptian woman went on to land past abraham's, land that eventually became Palestine through this guys decendants. But Abraham's promised son had the land that God had promised, this is present day Isreal: "The Promised Land."
Many other things were predicted in the Bible about this conflict, including in specific detail something about a part of the war in which Palestinians occupied the city for 40 days and then the Israeli's took it back, which wasn't too long ago and was also in the Bible.

I'm sorry I don't have verses for this stuff. I'm good at remember the content of what I read, but not the numbers of where PRECISELY it is. And I'm not sure about all the details or recent history. So I could be wrong about the details.

But end times, 7 years of Tribulation is going to be introduced by 2 witnesses for Christ in the Holy City. They will preach for 1,260 days, it says, and whomever attempts to attack them will be struck dead immediately. The witnesses will not do anything, the attackers will just fall dead. During those 1,260 days no rain will fall on the city, yadda yadda yadda. This is after the rapture but before all hell breaks loose and around the same time as the anti-christ takes power. The antichrist is going to be a really nice guy, he's powerful, persuasive, friendly... and deceitful. He'll rise to power not of his own authority (someone will ask him to take power or some financier will buy him into power, something like that). This guy is going to promise peace, unit the world... then seperate it and destroy it, after that going after Jesus Himself. Anti-Christ dies, Christ comes back to earth, all's good and happy again for all eternity.

That's Revelations in a nutshell.

Religion stuff over

Rashes are part of Herpes. You can get herpes through these rashes quit easily.

Paul, you better find a girl fast, it's coming up on page 100 pretty fast.

But during sexual intercourse the condom will of course stretch. The possibilty of a microscope hole forming in it is EXTREMELY large, especially considering the heat produced. I'd think twice before making love to someone that has an STD, even with a condom. But why would you want to make love to someone with an STD with 100% protection? I mean, that means she's been with who knows how many other guys. If you do have a kid with her then that kid will have the STD from birth... and you'll have the STD too... :(
