(Jesus said) – Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?”8He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’* Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky. Luke 21
I have been accused, more than once, of interpreting news articles as signs that we are in the end times. This is called eisegesis in theological terms.
While exegesis is the process of drawing out the meaning from a text in accordance with the context and discoverable meaning of its author,eisegesis occurs when a reader imposes his or her interpretation into and onto the text.
I will leave it up to you to decide where we are in terms of end times prophecies, based on the stories I posted today. This may be the shortest post in the history of this blog! L.A.

What does L.A. mean when he refers to a "Sunday Bun"?

I asked that same question a few years ago, nimbus. Seems it comes from a movie called "The Blues Brothers" and L.A. liked it and latched onto it. Just something he liked but to me it still makes no sense whatsoever.

It's the Sunday Go to meeting bun. It's a lighthearted reference that after church lots of places offer donuts (buns) and coffee. His sunday buns are usually not as serious as his other postings. Just something for fun or food for thought sort of thing.

btw I had to stop looking at L.A.'s site. He always seems be in panick mode and it made me feel too anxious. Like the other shoe is about to drop at any second and then... and then... and then... and then...it never does. Drama drama drama. Nadda. Nadda. Nadda.
I'm alert and watchfull, but Jesus didn't say to panick about it. He's in control. In fact in the above scripture verse he says "Do not be terrified". L.A. likes to make sure that everyone is terrified.

You're getting it, Pro. Just keep pluggin' away at it. Pretty soon you'll be teaching us how to quote.
