Sorry, if this thread is not actually entirely for the whole general population in the forum. But I'm from Singapore, and I hope to find a progressive church where I can settle down. I used to be from a charismatic church but soon left due to my disillusion with certain dogmas. I wonder if there are any Singaporeans in this site and progressive churches in Singapore. I could not find any in the directory of this site or when searching in yahoo. Thanks......

Post your views on feminism with regards to christianity. Yup, i'll post mine after a few posts.......

Ok, its my first post, I'm a christian, a charismatic, even though I'm skeptic by nature, and many beliefs i hold run contrary to my peers. I saw the ad for this site on a Singapore newspaper, I'm Singaporean btw. Yea, on this topic about eschatology before I digress any further. My approach to this whole thing on end times is really to live like Jesus is coming back in our generation but don't get too dissapointed if he does. There are many signs in the bible, esp. in revelation about the seals and stuff. Many generations in the past, esp. in the previous millenium, the dark ages. Where people thought that Jesus was coming back, even the Thessolonian church as well. But we can hardly tell. Preachers may point to this earthquake here, that war there, that pestilence there. But i mean, come on, what about the black death? or the 1666 fires? (This must have gotten preachers running about the place cos' of the 666 lol....) Do they mean that the end is near? apparently not. But, another thing is Israel, while I can say that it has very much fulfilled the prophecies in Isaiah. With it saying that after Israel is formed, the end would be "near". But anyone knows that the bible is not really very accurate where time is concerned, especially in the area of eschatology. I mean Jesus, when he was on earth said that he was coming back "soon". Does that mean that it'll be 2-3 thousand years till the end times after Israel was formed? I don't know. God says don't try to guess, don't even try. Well, those loonies in the first millenium as well as in recent times obviously tried to act smart. And please if I was God and i set a date for the apocalypse and those guys on the Earth have guessed it, i think i'll probably postpone it, for credibility's sake y'noe??
