we live near a main street and there is a path beside our house that is often used by dog owners as part of their dog walk.. i don't know how many times i've watched people allow their dogs to urinate on our hedges and defecate on our grass, when the public park is just a few feet away.

they think that poop-n-scooping is the limit of their duty of neighbourliness.. today, i had enough.

You'd think the phosphorus in the urine would be good for the lawns.

Rev. 20:5: "The rest of the dead..." an ADDITION?

by Ingenuous in

i've just finished reading c. t. russell's "divine plan of the ages".

he makes a comment about revelation 20:5 in a footnote: in this verse, the words, "but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished" are spurious.

they are not found in the oldest and most reliable greek mss, the sinaitic, vatican nos.

Is there much credence to the Augustinian view of the Apocalypse, which takes the "first resurrection" to be baptism?
