No one in the Old Testament confuses me as much as Balaam.

If anyone is familiar with Numbers 22:1 could you shed some light on his story? What is your understanding of him and the way in which God dealt with him? False prophet?

There are many many critics that claim Mrs White has made false prophecies,

And that she actually changed

or added to Holy Scripture.

"Every word of GOD is tried by fire...add not anything to His Words,

lest you be reproved, AND FOUND A LIAR." Proverbs 30:5-6

But there are also many who say-

It is not a contradiction to give more information or details than the previous account (that is one of the purposes of prophets). Ellen White in no way denies or contradicts what the Bible says, she is just giving more information. All subsequent prophets would be "contradicting" Moses if we judged them this way.

Is she one of the false prophets the bible warns against? Or could she really be a true prophet?

What do you think?

Surrounding the Throne were twenty-four other thrones and seated on them were twenty-four "elders."

They have crowns of gold on their heads and our dressed in priestly white robes.

Is the identity of the 24 elders symbolic or actual elders?

Men or angels?

Republican freshman Rand Paul of Kentucky, says in the rush to meet the terrorist threat in 2001 Congress enacted a Patriot Act that tramples on individual liberties. Other liberal Democrats and civil liberties groups who have long contended the law agrees it gives the government authority to spy on innocent citizens.. While senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, argues that "It has kept us safe for nearly a decade and Americans today should be relieved and reassured to know that these programs will continue." Who do you agree with? Any thoughts?
