First off, the attempted maligning and discrediting of Washington’s Vision for America has been a coordinated effort of the secular historical revisionist – the same ones who claim that America was started as a secular nation. However, there is just one small problem with this, any American can request a copy of it from the Library of Congress as it is the second book it published, after the King James Bible. Furthermore, the vision was first widely published in a newspaper in 1859 (this was the point that the History Channel used to try to discredit it on their Presidential Prophecies series, even with its foretelling of events that would take place decades after it was first published) and the vision is referred to by several founding fathers in their personal journals; which even the History Channel had to admit.

That's a shame. I would suggest that you haven't spent any time studying the matter, or you would most certainly feel different.
However, for one to arbitrarily discount the contents without studying the contents, is to me a bit shallow and flippant.
So . . . what in the world are you asking questions about, if you've arbitrarily predetermined to discount the sources?
Personally, I would prefer to spend my time with others who are seeking to share and learn.
Methinks you're not as certain of yourself on this as you imply.
But as creature of choice and free will, you do what you wish. But I think your time would be better spent on other topics.

I guess that’s what happens when you disagree with believers, that’s why I try not to bother with them.
Never said I was predetermined to discount them, I simply knew from repetitive experience that they would probably never validate such claims, and I was correct.
Doesn’t sound open to me, that sounds very narrow minded, and a little condescending, but I’m use to people with faith living on pedestals.
Where did I say I was certain of myself? I’m certain of my beliefs based on evidence, that’s not the same thing. I think anyone who claims to be absolutely certain of them self is probably lying..
I’d try to not judge them or their intentions based off of one discussion.
Once again... why are you here?
Nooooo, that statement doesn't contradict itself.
Mister Pot, meet Senor Kettle. You don't have any preconcieved notions, do you Mister Pot? No, of course not.
Saint Thomas felt the same way
Not even going to touch that one... Too easy.

Already explained, if you join a discussion you might want to keep up, I don’t plan on repeating myself more than twice, not fond of repetition on the internet, especially when it is easy for the other poster to go back and review my first response, and respond as they wish.
Actually, check page one for my first response to the OP... you might want to keep up. I just haven't posted until now because I'm a novice when it comes to bible prophesy. I'm one of the guys that requested this thread... You may want to heed your own advice, lest you appear a hypocrite. That may damage your somewhat tenuous credibility.
So, then allow me to rephrase my prior question into a request:
I think you should leave the thread, as you suggested yourself. Stop "wasting your time".

Originally, the name of a tribe and then of a district of the Edomites. In Biblical genealogy it is the name of the eldest son of Eliphaz, the first-born of Esau, and one of the "dukes" of Edom (Gen. xxxvi. 11, 15, 42; I Chron. i. 36, 53). The genealogy here noted proves that Teman was one of the most important of the Edomite tribes, and this is confirmed by the fact that "Teman" is used as a synonym for Edom itself (Amos i. 12; Obad. 9; comp. Jer. xlix. 20, 22; Hab. iii. 3). The Temanites were famed for their wisdom (Jer. xlix. 7; Baruch iii. 22); Eliphaz, the oldest and wisest of the friends of Job, is described as a member of this tribe (Job ii. 11 et passim).
Teman is referred to in Obad. 9 as a part of the mount of Esau, while Amos i. 12 mentions it in connection with the Edomitic "palaces of Bozrah"; Ezek. xxv. 13 speaks of it in contrast to the southern boundary Dedan. The "Onomasticon" of Eusebius (260, 155) mentions a region called Thaiman, in Gebalene (the Gebal of Ps. lxxxiii. 8 [A. V. 7]), and thus in the district of Petra, noting also an East Teman, a town with a Roman garrison fifteen (according to Jerome, five) miles from Petra.E. C. I. Be.

I don’t believe in the bible or bible prophecies. So far, no matter how much supposed indication is thrown at me, I do not see what those who believe in it claim to see. So, I have no interest in discussing the bible’s prophecies seriously, I feel that they are inaccurate and a waste of time
Originally posted by rapinbatsisaltherage
Just curious, what would lead you to believe that Teman has anything to do with the modern US?
You have no interest in discussing the "prophecies", would you care to discuss prophesies, or do you insist on continuing to troll?
I'm sorry you elicit a response, but you don't belong here if you consider this a waste of time.
Nothing special, just the OP!!!
Seriously, if all you want to do is troll, why not at least do your homework?
if you want to discount everything or not,
This isn't a matter of believing or not.
Historically, prophecy after prophecy have been made and fulfilled.
