THANK YOU ENORMOUSLY.

You are entirely 100% correct, of course.

And it does not take a psychologist to have known that.

Probably a 12 year old could have figured that out by the end of the first page.

I'm glad no shakin occurred, I still have much to do before the scarier stuff starts...Take everything with a grain of salt...

I agree on that score, too.

BTW, FWIW,

I had a 70 minute phone call with my FREEPER BRO on the East coast who, in some respects, started this with his example I used in the OP to introduce my questions and the whole issue of END TIMES PROPHECIES about coming traumatic festivities.

As I understand it, I'm authorized to say the following from him:

1. He asserted that a number of things happen but are hidden by the powers that be. He wondered if that might be the case here.

I don't think that was so because his prediction specifically noted that folks would see something in the skies and the result would be the FEAR OF GOD within them. That, to me, precludes an event happening but successfully hidden by anyone or any power.

2. He felt that the 2nd possibility was that he was simply wrong, heard wrong.

He does not want to defend himself.

I found my Christian Bro to be a soul very like minded as myself and who has also been created, trained and conditioned much like myself--yet, imho, who is quite a bit ahead of me spiritually and cheers to him for that.

I found him quite candid, honest, humble, . . . yet very experienced, knowledgeable and servant-hearted.

I think he has a fiercely genuine passion for God as well as for the lost and to minster to Christ's Body and the world.

He had had quite a lot of training and experience in deliverance.

He noted that one of his mentors exhorted him to avoid seeking many prophetic messages from God but to seek to be absolutely accurate.

He certainly acknowledges still being a work in progress as we all are.

It is fascinating that one of the respondents on this thread most illogically screams about the Terms and Conditions regarding hoaxes . . .

yet brazenly and persistently violates them regarding being discourteous and personally brazenly assaultive.

That duplicity is unimpressive.

Your verse and this one seem at odds. But they are not. Maybe because you are kinda kurious you should find out why?

Perhaps because the bible is full of contradictions? Thanks for pointing that out.

Look, for the most part, I could care less what people believe. Each to his own, it doesn't bother / affect me.

But when a person posts falsehoods in a forum dedicated to truth and knowledge that purports to DENY IGNORANCE, then I am now rightfully involved as a member.

I don't go to churches and attempt to dissuade the followers.
Am I not entitled to the same courtesy? Seems like hypocrisy.

Besides, it is now entertaining seeing the OP back-peddle and attempt to rationalize his wonton fallibility.

Amen.

Regards...KK

wait, now the excuse that these signs that were going to shake me never happened was that they were hidden?

I could make a killing selling prophecies

Have been prayerfully pondering your post since I read it minutes ago.

I increasingly believe/feel that you are correct.

God's warnings and predictions USUALLY do NOT precisely meet our assumptions and expectations.

I'm sorry but this just does not fly in my opinion. The alleged message from God clearly predicted an event significant enough that it would cause fear and trembling. An object near the Sun does not remotely fit that description.

I have been supportive of your intentions in the OP but when people start reaching for supportive evidence AFTER the predicted time period I take exception.

Your Freeper friend was either confused or mistaken.

The prediction was inaccurate.

I think we might want to consider closing this thread.

It makes me sad to see once again humans trying to strike fear in others about God. God-fearing is man-made! I guess it will just keep getting worse as 2012 gets closer and certain groups stand to make money from striking fear in others!

I really don't think he posted this to make money off of other's fears. He posted what he believed to be an interesting prediction made by someone he knows that has made successful predictions.

OF COURSE--YOU ARE 100% ACCURATE!

Even my prophetic FRiend gives out. He has his own job and does not profit in tangible, earthly ways from his ministry efforts.

Certainly I have no interest in money for ministry. That's offensive to me.

I realize a workman is worthy his hire according to Scripture.

Howver, this is not at all a job I do with money or earthly repayment in mind, at all.

It is more a passionate Christian hobby and something I do as thanks to my Lord, Jesus The Christ.

My job is as a part time college prof. and somewhat as a potter.

BTW, someone posted a cryptic post at the end of this old Charismatic FR thread . . . I don't know what they are referring to. The OP on that thread is still interesting as is post #25.

Thread reminder.

Please stay on topic. More often than not, predictions and prophecies in this forum do not come true. There is no need to scare away posters by accusing them of perpetuating hoaxes or calling for members to be banned. There is a big difference between deliberately hoaxing and passing on a prediction for the membership to chew on, whether it comes to pass or not.

Please refrain from attacking other members or calling for the banning of members when all that was done was to post something for the membership to digest.

It's a fact that some predictions do not come to pass and it is not ATS' policy to ban members who share something with the community in good faith when it does not occur. We don't want to discourage members from sharing possible events with the community in the fear they will be held personally responsible for simply passing information along. Nor will we allow members who share something in good faith to endure ridicule.

Thank You.

I don't recall ANY prediction, in the true sense, made at ATS ever coming true.

I, for one, would be curious to know who makes that distinction. What defines the "big difference?"

If someone claims to be "passing along" information (and oh BTW provides no link or source) are we simply to believe at face value?

It would seem to me that THE TRUTH could withstand scrutiny. At least that is how the court system in AMERICA functions, proof beyond a "reasonable doubt."

I honestly thought that TRUTH was held to a higher standard on ATS.

In closing, it WAS NOT my intent to "scare away posters" but rather expose a charlatan. (By your own argument I trust you will believe me since I say it is so.) Those that refrained from posting are obviously much wiser than I and likely saw this for the ruse it was. I will strive to exhibit more gumption and restraint in the future.

I am quite finished here. ( 5 days after expiration of prediction my benefit of doubt is withdrawn.) Moving on.

Respectfully........Kinda Kurious
