Could some Christians please explain to me how the 'false prophets' thing works?

barbarella @barbarella (354) 5 Mar 07

Can anyone recommend any funny novels?

How do you know other people are real?

barbarella @barbarella (354) 4 Mar 07

Ignoring the possibility that nothing outside of you is real, how is it possible to verify that there is any real mind inside the people around you? That they are not automatons or zombies which respond as if they have an internal...

Which is moving, us or time?
