Check your bible. Mine says he came already.

Which raises an interesting question. How would we know if he is wrong? Is his hypothesis falsifiable?

What's interesting to me is Israel. I haven't heard much from Israel in the news (Fox News) in the last few weeks. Have you?

What? You mean you missed this?

They were flying back to Israel for Rosh Hashanah.

If God wanted to send a warning to Christians to repent and turn back to himself, I think He might do it according to the pattern he established in the Old Testament. That's what Cahn is saying. It makes sense, and it's been historically accurate over the last 100 or so years.

What God wants is always an open question. I used to be in a cult that claimed to know the answer in rather concrete terms. No harm done.

Regardless of your take on Cahn, the message of the Bible is the same. Repent for the kingdom is at hand. How bad can it be?
|
Another open question. Those kind of questions can be thought provoking, I'll grant you that. In view of our putative "sin nature", it is most prudent to be in a constant state of repentance.

It would be wise to take each of the verses and dig in to what Cahn is saying to see if, for example, he is perverting the gospel.

The way accusations fly around here, that would make Cahn a member of a rather large club.
Thought appreciated.
