I came across this doctrine a few days ago and I don't know what to make of it, but it does not feel right in my spirit. I really don't know whether it would be a worthwhile study. Would it be a waste of time to explore it in more depth? I really don't know anything about it, so I would like some input from you guys. Paul said that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and I accept that, but now I see there are other doctrines about life after death. ]]> Areopagus Henry http://bibleforums.org/showthread.php/247425-Soulsleep http://bibleforums.org/showthread.php/247389-The-Holy-Bible-and-Aliens?goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 11:33:56 GMT I've been thinking about some of the verses I've read, and they make me think of aliens(Any life form of extraterrestrial origin)

Examples being: Creation(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_creation_myths), The Flood(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flood_myths), and Samson(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson#Interpretations).

Why are they so similar in some areas?
Also, I've heard varying things, but which was written first, the story of Utnapishtim or the story of Noah? ]]> Areopagus MasamuneIyasu http://bibleforums.org/showthread.php/247356-Various-Parallel-Mythology http://bibleforums.org/showthread.php/247343-2-beast-of-Revelation?goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 13:41:43 GMT Love to hear and talk about Revelation....read many books,watched many dvds on it,and been to many seminars about it.I've heard all kinds of view points about it....but to know Revelation you must know the meaning of the symbols from Daniel and a good understanding of history.I tend to lean heavy towards what these videos explain,but I always have a open view point towards the subject.

Does anyone here know anything about this? ]]> Areopagus gringo300 http://bibleforums.org/showthread.php/247045-Free-Bible-Students
