Sneaky Bastards

Has anyone else noticed that when you type (anything).blogPSot.com you get a bible site, or as it calls itself "Mega site of Bible studies and information"?

The guestbook is an interesting read, especially the guy who was using crack cokane (sic).

That's some sneaky stuff on the snaring links. I am a sloppy typist sometimes, and I would imagine they catch quite a few people.

I wonder how many other domain names they have misspellings of pointing at that site?

Here's a bit I'd like to refute from the site:

The Bible gives us over 50 descriptions about the people at the time of the end. These fit the people of today perfectly, but did not fit the people of fifty years ago. Here are some:

A. Some would depart from the faith and go into devil worship-1 Tim 4:1. This is perfect.


B. People would mock about the last days and not believe-2 Pe 3:3; Jude 18.


C. People would become lovers of themselves-2 Tim 3:1,2. Remember the TV commercials—"I do it for me"?


D. People would be disobeying their parents-2 Tim 3:1,2.


E. People would be grateful for nothing-2 Tim 3:1,2.


F. Homosexuality would increase-Lk 17:28,30; ref Gen 19:5; Ro 1:24,26,27.


G. People would be without self-control in sex-2 Tim 3:1,2,6; Rev 9:21, Lk 17:28,30; Jude 7. Is this not the great sex generation?


H. People would love pleasures more than God-2 Tim 3:1,2,4. This is true. Shall we go on a picnic, watch football, or sleep. Church?—we can go another time. Our American motto "In God we trust" has become a joke. Remember, these were all predicted centuries ago as part of the signs that we are at the time of the end.


I. People would be taking drugs-Rev 9:21. The Greek word for sorceries, in Rev 9:21, means pharmaceuticals or drugs. God’s Word is 100% right on every one. That’s 6 out of 6. How could you have any doubts at this point?
Note: Fifty years ago, many people seldom locked their doors at night. There was little or no profanity on television, radio, or in the movies. One of the biggest problems in public school was gum chewing. Those days are long gone.

OK, it may not have applied to whitebread central America 50 years ago, but I hate to tell the person who wrote this, it very much described the debauchery of America 80 years ago in the 1920s, and at various other times since these books were written a couple of thousand years ago. It's just that we have a little thing called television that brings the world right inside our homes. It is a scary place for these people, I would imagine.

Also that was only 9 descriptions, not 50 as the site boasted. I'd like to see the other 41. (was the person who wrote this not able to count?)

Here is some rebuttal point by point:

A. In most mainstream Christianity, devil worship would include any form of non-Christian, or non-the-same-denomination-as-the-person-looking-at-the-other-person, so that would lump in pretty much everyone else in the world except the little clique that the person writing this belongs to.

B. I think that this is pretty much all times. I don't think that's a recent occurrence.

C. Ditto. This person is saying that people didn't love themselves in 1950?

D. Almost all children disobey their parents. That was also happening in the 50s, otherwise there would have been no beats and then no hippies.

E. Another one that applies pretty much across the board.

F. I don't think that it's so much increasing, but that it is more public and open. It was also around in the 50s, it was just that gay-bashing was accepted more then.

G. If they are referencing the 60s and 70s with the great sex generation, doesn't that blow the 50 years ago bit, because that was over thirty years ago. Anyway, I just think the person writing this is either afraid of sex, or isn't getting any themselves.

H. Again, this is the constant struggle of religion over secularism. "You don't love and think about God enough." This has been around as long as religion.

I. People have ALWAYS taken drugs. It is just that there has never been the gigantor drug industry that we now have. Just remember that Sugar can be considered a drug. If I read this right, isn't this page arguing that the line should read "People would be taking sorceries?" That would open up a larger scale to the meaning. Sorceries can be in drug or idea form.

Also there is a place where people seldom lock their doors at night, and it isn't the 1950s, it's Canada, where there isn't such a culture of fear around.

I think that I've spent enough time on this.
