Revalations? End of DAYS?

Probably catch heat for this. . . . .

The end times is not nearing.

God loves us, is amused by us and is saddened by us all at the same time.

Simply because we live in a time that we are highly self-aware does not mean that we're going anywhere.

I see the world 200 years from now having the same issues, the same discussions, the same worries and insecurities.

Except we'll have laser beams and stuff then.


This is all my humble opinion and should not be seen as a press release to include all Christians.

Sharks with laser beams on their heads! Right?

Why on earth would you think you'll catch heat for that post? I starred it.
The world ain't going anywhere - and neither are the Christians who want it to end.

They are free to check out whenever they wish, though.

We better have jetpacks by then.
Im planning to come back but only for the jet pack.
Also how many people have wrongly said the end of days are coming?.
Just because gay folk can get married I expect more religious doom porn nonsense.

I thought it was the end times when they cancelled "firefly".

I have to agree with the jetpacks also.

Ugh.
You should see my facebook feed. Nearly ALL of my friends have colorized their photos with a rainbow overlay. But my in-laws and many other extended family are all posting furiously about the doom coming because of it.
Guess whose posts I'm "liking" more.

Yeah - if they weren't family, I'd be "unfriending" a lot of them. Even if the actual 'friends' I have on there are spewing religion, I won't be doing that - but I won't be 'liking' anything they post. And I won't respond.

This issue is such a ridiculous reason to have a stroke.

I think that it is arrogant to know the mind of God.

He will do what He will do in His own time and fashion.

God gave us free will.

So for as long as He continues, we'll still be screwing up because we aren't perfect.

Ah firefly I keep on hoping but...

Yea, you don't seem worried either. Or nervous.
Just remember an insurance policy is only good
when accepted before a crash. Get yours for free now.
It's the best insurance out there if you really need to think
of it that way.

It's really nice to have no worries too. No nervousness
think'n you might of missed out and end up with a sucky life all
shortened to #### by an evil that absolutely hates you beyond
all that you've ever known.

Who wouldn't want to say good bye to this
####hole Buzzy? This is where I ask you for the first time sweetheart.
Come with us to where you only be loved. What's so bad about that?

Wow! Talk about attempting to induce a guilt trip. Your post reminded me of this scene:

Wow! Talk about attempting to induce a guilt trip.

It's okay. I'm immune.
Not nervous or scared, either.

I once upset a great member here (sorry, Cuervo) for imagining that God was a small bunny sitting on top of a hill, looking down at all that man has wrought, and contemplating eating a poisonous berry from a bush in front of it.

I hope He is still just contemplating.

I read that book ... Only it was Pippa who had epilepsy and was being bartered off in marriage to a fat, old barrister chosen by her parents who wanted her married before her "flaw" became known. So she ate the berry in the dream lands so she had to remain their instead of going back to reality which meant that she really died.

Then in later books she became a corrupt and evil being, but that's a different story.

Did I get that from a book?

Which one?

(I'm an avid reader, so I don't doubt you)

LOL, clever rabbit! Haha!

A Great and Terrible Beauty is the title I think, but I doubt you read it since it's a YA novel aimed about a bunch of teenage girls in a Victorian finishing school.

It was just the idea of poisonous berry that caught my attention.

Really, Suzanne Collins used the same idea in The Hunger Games.

Here is a study of the scientific probability of the accuracy of Biblical prophecy being fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Science Speaks

CHAPTER 3 THE CHRIST OF PROPHECY Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me - John 5:39. THE WORD "Scriptures" in this passage refers to the Old Testament. Christ is saying that in the Old Testament we will find the prophecies referring to Himself. It is therefore in these prophecies, and their fulfillment, that we may look if we wish to find evidence that Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God, the saviour of mankind, and everything else which was prophesied of Him, and which He claimed to be. If we find these prophecies to be fulfilled in Christ, we will establish not only that Christ is the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament, but that those prophecies were given by God Himself. For if they were not given by God, no man would have fulfilled any number of them, as will be evident later in this chapter.

Apparently the odds that even eight of these prophecies would be fulfilled are astronomical. He conservatively reasoned the chance is only one in 10^17.

Why September?

Here are some more recent findings on precognition.

Study Shows Some Evidence Of Human Precognitive Powers

It's long been regarded as pseudo-science or simple lore, but precognition – that is, the ability to not just predict but to actually perceive the future – is getting a fair shake in some scientific circles lately. A research paper titled Feeling the Future from Cornell Professor Daryl Bem shows some statistically significant results coming from a series of experiments empirically testing the human mind powers of premonition and precognition. If his results are replicated elsewhere, it may change the way researchers look at the brain, its perception of time, and exactly what its limitations are.

Here is some information on quantum entanglement that relates to the possibility of prophecy.

Weird! Quantum Entanglement Can Reach into the Past

Essentially, the scientists showed that future actions may influence past events, at least when it comes to the messy, mind-bending world of quantum physics.

ETA: This post and my last one are the way I think this thread should be heading so the discussion doesn't go flying off course.

So you can't wait to see millions of people get killed and destroyed by your god? Really? How humble of you, how loving.

You're a shining example of what Christ meant when he said "be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect", maybe your god will be maniacally laughing and enjoying every second of it which is why you follow in his footsteps? Not sure, but I don't think Jesus would do any of what you think he will do. The devastation he's supposed to reap on Earth on his return seems to be at odds with the message he preached while here before. You know, turn the other cheek and be humble? Killing millions of people and glassing the Earth doesn't sound like turning the other cheek or being humble, it sounds like a warlord conquering and killing those not part of his clan.
