From the definite statements you've made- the few of them I could understand- it seemed as if you were here to 'slam-dunk.'

History repeats itself because Christians are mesmerized by the OT writings who therefore can be prophetic in nature = the Conservative perspective.

What about history in places- such as the world before the rise of Christianity, or many modern Third World countries- untouched by Christianity? Christianity is not the entire world's religion.

To break free from this Catholicism defined the "infallible" Liberal point of view (this will get me in trouble).

If you're suggesting that something is infallible, it might get you into arguments here, but no serious
trouble.

Rev.14:11 states that "there shall be no relief by day or by night."

Why does anyone really take Revelations seriously, though?

<strong>
Who are those? Verse 12, they are those who follow the laws of God AND their faith in Jesus. In other words, they are Christians who are torn between their promise of salvation and obedience to the law.

I think you'd have an argument on your hands that any Christians are any kind of witches- from both the Wiccan and Christian sides.

<strong>
Now you can see what "infallible" means because to be in charge of your own destiny is to be set free from the law and religion after we have obtained the mind of Christ. Hence, any religion that does not preach "infallibility" as its end does not have an end but has a new form of slavery as its end and therefore must look back on history for direction and guidance. Hence the repeat of history. Evidenc of this is that bible Christians are identical to the children of Israel.

Identical to the children of Israel in what way? This could mean a lot of things- all the way from squabbling to being numerous.
-Perchance.
