From all the reading I've done it seems to me that the most accurate translation (closest to the original Greek and Hebrew of the New and Old Testements) is the King James. Some say the only accurate is the King James 1611. Unfortunately, I don't have this translation.
When I don't understand the way something is worded in the King James, I'll go to the NIV and see how it's worded there and that often helps me.
Have you checked out www.BibleGateway.com yet? It's a wonderful resource for being able to check one version against another... they offer many many different translations (NIV, KJV, NKJV, NAS, etc.) Just PLEASE stay away from "The Message" translation - it's Twisted!

so are you against other versions like New International?
Maybe I should also buy a King James version for myself sine I only have New International.
I know that Satan won't win in the end that's for sure ![[Smile]](smile.gif) The reason he tries so hard and is so angry is because he knows he will lose. I kinda compare him to a reality tv star. Their 15 minutes are 14:30 up and they are tryin to get as much publicity and notice as possible before their time is up.

I don't know of any books that I believe have it all right, and I don't think I've got it all right either. I'm still learning too.
Yes, there will be a false trinity. The AC will be a human who will eventually be indwedlt by satan himself. The false prophet will also be a human who will convince the world (through miraculous signs and wonders that satan gives him the power to perform) that all people on earth should worship the AC and his image, and take his 'mark. How this all is going to truly play out? I don't know... time will tell.
My BEST advice to you is to get to KNOW GOD through the Holy Bible, an Intimate Personal Relationship with HIM through Prayer and Bible Study. If the church you're presently attending does not teach Directly from the Holy Bible (and I would say the King James Version as it's the most accurate), then please find another church that does! This should be Top Priority... try not to delve too much into endtime prophecy before you get the Solid Foundation lain. There is so much to learn! I've found the "Fundamental, Independent, Baptist Churches to be the ones sticking soley with Biblical Teaching.
There are So Many false teachers and false prophets in the world today. Satan is desperately trying to confuse and twist those who are seeking the Lord. His goal is to make them miss out on Eternal Life. That's the only game he's got left since Jesus DEFEATED Him at the Cross!

so there is an antichrist and a false prophet? or is the false prophet the antichrist? so maybe its satan, the anti christ, and the false prophet as the evil trinity (instead of our Father, son, holy ghost0
And, you do belive end times are in deed here, if so when did they start? i've heard in bible code it is for 2012 and doncsidering the artificial peace (or the agreement) between Isreal and Palestine in 2005 it works exactly according to math.
I definately will stand with God and the bible etc. As long as I know Satan cannot have control, I win Satan can do a lot psycholgically, but its all up to the person to overcome it through God and being stronger. Stan can try as hard as he wants, but God is still going to win no matter what odds are against Him.
do you have more sites/books etc softtouch with things you are talking about? you seem pretty informed on this stuff and i owuld like to know more. (well, i wouldnt like to but i figure best be prepared if i am to fight on God's side.)

If its a real find, that is scary cause whos to say what is and isnt true? The only thing I know is I'm glad that you've told me about this BlueBeam stuff before hand. I feel that God and the Bible are correct, and that I will stand by that no matter what "new evidence" shows.
Well, the Bible is who's to say what is and isn't true as it's the Only Inspired (God-Breathed) book Ever given to man to reveal our Awsome God and his will and His Love for His Creation. Please, stick with Jesus no matter What you hear reported. We are in the Endtime and the Enemy (satan) knows his time is short... he's going to pull out all the stops to decieve as many as he can and take them into the lake of fire along with himself, the AC, and the False Prophet.
I can’t seem to confirm the part about a ‘smiling buddah washing ashore, but the rest of it is True. Here is an article by the API which a lot of news sources reported on. Apparently this was discovered not long after the Tsunami (I thought it was a new find) I’ll keep my eye open for further developments.

Tsunami Uncovers Ancient City in India
Indian Archaeologists Excavating Ancient City, Temple Wall Uncovered by Tsunami
The Associated Press
Feb. 18, 2005 - Archaeologists have begun underwater excavations of what is believed to be an ancient city and parts of a temple uncovered by the tsunami off the coast of a centuries-old pilgrimage town.
Three rocky structures with elaborate carvings of animals have emerged near the coastal town of Mahabalipuram, which was battered by the Dec. 26 tsunami.
As the waves receded, the force of the water removed sand deposits that had covered the structures, which appear to belong to a port city built in the seventh century, said T. Satyamurthy, a senior archaeologist with the Archaeological Survey of India.
Mahabalipuram is already well known for its ancient, intricately carved shore temples that have been declared a World Heritage site and are visited each year by thousands of Hindu pilgrims and tourists. According to descriptions by early British travel writers, the area was also home to seven pagodas, six of which were submerged by the sea.
The government-run archaeological society and navy divers began underwater excavations of the area on Thursday.
"The tsunami has exposed a bas relief which appears to be part of a temple wall or a portion of the ancient port city. Our excavations will throw more light on these," Satyamurthy told The Associated Press by telephone from Madras, the capital of Tamil Nadu state.
The six-foot rocky structures that have emerged in Mahabalipuram, 30 miles south of Madras, include an elaborately carved head of an elephant and a horse in flight. Above the elephant's head is a small square-shaped niche with a carved statue of a deity. Another structure uncovered by the tsunami has a reclining lion sculpted on it.
According to archaeologists, lions, elephants and peacocks were commonly used to decorate walls and temples during the Pallava period in the seventh and eighth centuries.
"These structures could be part of the legendary seven pagodas. With the waters receding and the coastline changing, we expect some more edifices to be exposed," Satyamurthy said.

Hummm…. What was the first step in project Blue Beam?
(you can read about Project Blue Beam in this thread: http://thechristianbbs.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=002105)
quote:
But before all this, they have to go through four different steps in order to get to Project Blue Beam.
1: The first step concerns the breakdown of all archaological knowledge. It deals with staging earthquakes at certain precise locations around the planet where supposed new "discoveries" will finally explain (for them) that the meanings of the basic doctrines of all the world`s major religions are "wrong." This falsification will be used to make the population believe that all religious doctrine has been misunderstood and misinterpreted.

”Mystery of the smiling Buddha and ancient carvings that arrived as a gift from the tsunami”
quote:
A few miles up the coast at Mahabalipuram, a group of daytrippers marvel at the weathered carvings on a huge rock sitting in the middle of the beach. To one side lie the ruins of a temple in the sand. “We used to come here many times but we never saw these before,” Vinod Kumar, a student, said. “It is a gift of the tsunami.”
When the giant wave crashed into coastlines across the Indian Ocean, it took thousands of lives with it, erasing villages, destroying bridges, roads and fishing fleets.
But on this little stretch of the Tamil Nadu coast, it brought treasures too, unearthing ancient ruins and sending unfamiliar idols into the arms of the faithful.
At Mahabalipuram, when the tsunami fell back from the shore it took with it tonnes of sand from the beach, laying bare the forgotten ruins of a 7th-century temple and a rock covered with beautiful carvings of tigers, elephants and horses.
Archaeologists say that the new find indicates a “giant superstructure” that once stood on the beach, dating from the Pallava period from which Mahabalipuram’s other temples also date.
While important, however, they are causing nothing like the fuss of the other tantalising glimpse into the past that villagers here believe the tsunami showed them.
As the waters of the sea receded 500 metres from Mahabalipuram’s beachfront temple, mesmerised observers say that they saw very clearly on the ocean floor a series of pagoda-like temples apparently swallowed up by the sea in the past few hundred years.
