End Times: Are there Biblical signs that show us when Jesus will return? - Kindle edition by Glenn Pease. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.: "There are hundreds of books written about signs of the times showing that we are in the end times because of something the author interpreted from the Bible. The problem with signs of the end times is that there is nothing in the Bible to back up what they say. The opposite is true, Jesus said we will not know when he will return, he will come like a thief in the night, so we need to be ready all the time.
There are many Bible prophecies that have come true and many more that will come true. God has given us an order as to what we are to do. When we finish what we are to do, then Jesus will come again and we will be taken to spend eternity with him in Heaven. "

Why doesn't the book of Esther mention God?

Why doesn't the book of Esther mention God?: "The book of Esther is unique in several ways. One distinguishing characteristic is that it’s the only biblical book that does not mention God by name. This fact has caused some to question its place in the biblical canon, but, in reality, the absence of God’s name fits perfectly with the theme of the book."

What does the Bible say about law enforcement / the police?

What does the Bible say about law enforcement / the police?: "It’s fairly well known that God gave a set of laws and with it guidelines for the enforcement of those laws. Not only did the Mosaic Law define sin, but it specified penalties for those who broke the Law. Any law is essentially meaningless without enforcement. The people in Bible times may not have had a police force as we think of one today, but they definitely had those who promoted justice by enforcing the law. The Bible’s references to watchmen (Ezekiel 33:6), armed guards (Nehemiah 4:13), and judges (Ezekiel 44:24 and the whole book of Judges) could be seen as examples of law enforcement.

Why did Queen Vashti refuse to appear before Xerxes?

Why did Queen Vashti refuse to appear before Xerxes?: " The book of Esther begins with a description of King Xerxes (or Ahasuerus) of Persia celebrating with the leading men of his kingdom. At the conclusion of seven days of feasting, the king called Queen Vashti to appear before him. We are told this was “in order to display her beauty to the people and nobles, for she was lovely to look at” (Esther 1:11). However, Queen Vashti refused to come before the king and his men; “then the king became furious and burned with anger” (verse 12)."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Calling the Easter Bunny.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Calling the Easter Bunny.: "“Hey Ray, Atheist Debunked by Adonai Elohim invoked your god to place ‘a curse’ on me and my family, like some kind of christian witch doctor. If that's not blatant blasphemy, wouldn't you at least consider that to be very unchristian of someone and ban them from your page? You banned someone yesterday for calling A god ‘it.’ Certainly invoking your god to curse someone is far more offensive.” James Westfall"

Is Religion the primary cause of war? | Religion is the Cause of War | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry: "Atheists and secular humanists consistently make the claim that religion is the #1 cause of violence and war throughout the history of mankind.
