Unfortunately you and I and everyone else would'nt have been born then. History time and events would have played out entirely different. I think myself and others would have to stop you.

Actually I use to think about this seriously about how exciting it would be. However, considering we are so close to the end of this man made self-rule experiment, I think I'd rather keep my front row seat and see how it all ends. I'd rather be on the other side of Armageddon and ask questions of those ressurected about events of their past history, rather than prolong living life in this world.

Besides, I'd probably step on some butterfly and change the course of world history with catastrophic consequences for mankind.

Okay, so I've seen a few Si-Fi flicks in my time here.

It's the emotional play that I would love to gaze into, like the struggles of Abraham as he believed God in the face of all, or to sit around the campfire as Job scratched his sores while he and his "buddies" attempted to measure the depth of the Ancient One.

Did Gomer know the depth of Hosea's love?

Did Daniel help a lion with its flea problem?

The roller coaster ride of Solomon's life.

And as if it were possible, what did John the Revelator see when he penned this?

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. (Rev 5:6)

I would go back and follow Jesus and record what I here and see. Of course I would learn Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic first so I could understand them.

Interesting topic. If I could time-travel, I would go back and try to prevent the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Imagine what we lost there?

I wouldn't last a day If I was sent back to those days.

I don't think any of us would - if I was running like David had to, or faced the battle like so many, I would've been screaming, "Where's my ipod??!!"

Maybe that would stop my attackers...

If I was going onto the battle field, I'd want a Kevlar Gatorskin lined invisibility suite and protective helmet (like Preditor).

I'm sure some would see that in the Book of Revelation.

LOL
I think it's in Ephesians 6, but I didn't see nothing about invisibility.
