Don't interpret, just listen

When you forget your religious ideas—what you have heard, what you have been taught by preachers, religions, and denominations—and let the Word of God speak; when you listen instead of interpreting, you will have no trouble understanding Revelation.

How true 'Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near'.

Oliver B. Green! Now there's a name I haven't heard since the 1970's. As a night courier when I was in my 'fundie' stage, used to listen to him driving my route at around 10:00PM and then at about midnight on would come Reverend Ike. Now there was a character! I'm flashing back- OH MY!!!

Yes, Matthew, even Orthodox Christians used to listen to this man's radio broadcasts. Bible lovers are bible lovers. As for being "fundie," well, I believe what the Bible says about Adam and Eve, and about Paradise. What most of the non-Orthodox don't know is that Paradise still exists. But that's another story...
