Hi!

Checking out this board on the recommendation of a friend from another board. I’m new, so be easy with me! I mostly would love different perspectives on some things.

I am a Christian, and happy with that, but I am the type of Christian with questions! Dangerous! My question I would like to pose is about the Book of Revelation in the Christian Bible. Mostly, do you think it is valid? I wonder. We don’t really "know" who wrote it and it seems to cause more harm than good to me. People try to interpret it a million different ways and make predictions based on it and it concerns me. Jesus says no one will know when the end is coming, so why guess?!

Hi, I've seen you on the Moms and Politics board. Welcome!

I should just tell you that while we have several Christians on the board, many of us are not Christian and don't take the Bible as fact. Also, some (most?) of our Christians are non-literalists.

Nice to see you here :O)

Sure it's "valid," as a late first century apocolyptic vision. But as a guide to the future, like TV guide for the end of the world or something? Not so much.
