Hey,
I was reading your post and I wanted to reach out and give you a hug. I have felt this exact same way before, not knowing when or how it will happen. I can only tell you my experience and I just placed it into God's hands. If you don't mind me asking you, have you accepted Christ? By drawing closer to God, I've found peace within. I didn't mean to get personal or anything.
Take care,
Benita

I have accepted my path in becoming Christ.

The end of the world is simple to understand. In order to understand what changes are to take place in the future, find the most significant biblical catastrophe and reverse it.

The Mythology of these speak of it in fable:

The Greeks
The Egyptians
The Jews
The Ancient Americans


"When single shines the triple sun, what was sundered and undone, shall be whole, the two made one, by Gelfling hand, or else by none."
-The Dark Crystal


The stars tell a story of what happen in the past. It has something to do with the Big Bear and her lost child.

The world as we know it now will someday come to an end. Like someone already said God is going to make a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness will dwell. The Bible specifically says people just do not cease to exist. Those who have accepted Christ as Savior and Lord(born again) will live forever in the presence of God. Those who have rejected Him will also live, but, live away from the presence of God. So this could be said to be an eternal death. But those in this eternal death will have bodies and memories to exist in this state. Just like those who have eternal life will have a body that has been transformed to live with God.

President Clinton wrote down what he wanted in his book, then passed it onto a writer to put in book form. So his book is a fake because someone else wrote it.....

I don't know how many times I've posted this before. Yes, actual hands and fingers of men wrote the Bible, but they were inspired by God as to what to write. He used them to get the message He wanted across. The argument that God didn't write the Bible men did is just an excuse not to take what it says to heart.

Good point.

However, what about all the other hands that wrote a bible inspired by God? What's your position on this?

The actual words, “ the end of the world”, show up in these specific verses in the bible:

Psalms 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the END OF THE WORLD.

Isaiah 62:11 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the END OF THE WORLD, say ye to the daughter of Zion, behold, they salvation cometh…

Mathew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the END OF THE WORLD; and the reapers are the angles.

Mathew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the END OF THIS WORLD.

Mathew 13:49 So shall it be at the END OF THE WORLD: the angles shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just.

Mathew 24:3 And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the END OF THE WORLD.

Mathew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the END OF THE WORLD.

Hebrew 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the END OF THE WORLD hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

This does not include other variations of the way to put the term the end of the world, such as the latter days, etc.

No where in the Bible does it say, “The end of the world as we know it”.

That came from a song by REM, if I am not mistaken…


And I feel fine....

Is that meaning...like......'give peace a chance' (J Lennon)

I'm guessing you mean other translations of the Bible(NIV, NAS etc.). As a christian you can get insight from them in your walk but you need a KJV to do serious study.

If you are referring to the koran, I've never read it all just parts. It contradicts the Bible and is fake.

The Bible compared to other "books about the subject of God" shows them to be fake. If you were used to driving a cadillac and then drove a cavaliar you would notice the difference in quality.

Thanks for answering my question.

What I was pointing out was this. There are other bibles and holy doctrines which were written by men who were inspired by God to do so. Marg6043 states the fact that men wrote it and not God directly; is enough to question. You agreed "The Bible" was written by men and not God directly. Yet you claim the only real source of God's wisdom comes from only one Bible...and only from a later translation of it.

How do you know this? How do you know only the christian bible was inspired by God? Did God inform you?
Or do you know this because the KJV translation rides better then a cavaliar?

Now lets assume the christian bible is indeed the "real" one. The only one inspired by God. Wouldn't you logically conclude one would need the original one in the original language...before the translations? Ahhh, I think I understand. King James was inspired to change it.

You said I said men wrote it and not God directly. I see where you can get this from what I said. This is what I mean. 40 different men from different ages and places over the course of 2000 years wrote the Bible. And they all have the same theme throughout the books they wrote. God himself told them what words He wanted them to put in it.

If I could read Hebrew and Greek I'd read them in the original languages, but I can't. I do have a concordance that i use along with the KJV

So knowledge of God isn't enough to compel you to learn a new language?

Look, you are ignoring the questions.

Not enough time when I am raising 4 kids by myself, work, clean, rest, attend school activities and everything else there is to do. Also I am growing in my relationship and knowledge of God and what questions I missed them?

If you have the time and would be compassionate enough to consider what I am saying then just review all my posts. The questions are quite clear...IMHO.

Yes, actual hands and fingers of men wrote the Bible, but they were inspired by God as to what to write. He used them to get the message He wanted across.

You justify the fact that the christian bible was written by men by stating they were inspired by God to do so.

The authors of other holy doctrines and bibles feel they were inspired by God to write what they did. So they meet the criteria for being valid according to what you have said. Yet you claim they are all fake. Why is that?

You answered that by saying they contradict the bible. How do they contradict it? Of course I know how you would answer that. So let me rephrase the question. How does God's wisdom contradict itself?

Now it wouldn't be contradicting itself if the christian bible was the only one truly inspired by God, right?

You already agreed men wrote the bible. So since you feel that way what you are really saying is this: You believe the men who wrote the christian bible were inspired by God and the men who wrote the other bibles and holy doctrines are either lying or have been misinformed.

Thus utimately you have put your faith in the men who wrote the christian bible and not God himself. I base this of course on what input you have provided.

if you think if it the way my mind does it would go like this

ok think of it like the dinosores were people
The sky was dark(dust from explosion)
water went away (iceage)
the pleag would have been starvation
the fire would have been explosion or volcano
look at that you have 4 or the seven seals

im young and i am not trying to be funny but i beleve the secound heaven has allready been created..........

NO it actually says it will be made new .......so not worries you dont have to change your galactic address I know how hard it is to get mail when you have to ........lol but seriously the only direct quotes off the top of my head right this second I can give you is as follows.....but note they are not word for word


"And God blessed Noah and his sons and said be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth And I will establish my covennant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of the flood neither shall there any more destruction of the earth And God said , This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations


"the meek shall inherit the earth"


"and they sang a new song saying thou art worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals for thou was slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every people,tongue and nation and made us unto our God a kingdom of priests and we shall reign on the earth.

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and earth were passed away (in this context it means as you know it now) and there was no more sea and I john saw the holy city Jerusalem coming down from heaven as a bride adorned for her husband (means pure virgin untanted)
and I heard behold the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them and shall the people and God himself be together and he will be their God and he will wipe away all the tears from thier eye and there shall be no more death neither pain for the former things have passed away"

My faith is in God. He got His word to me. Matthew, Paul, Luke etc. did not die for my sins. Jesus did, so my faith is in Him alone. The Bible is about man being seperated from God and His way of salvation. Men who were used by God to put that into the Bible surrendered their lives to Him and wrote what He wanted in it.

Hmm. Mans seperation from God. His way to salvation. That sounds vaguely familiar. Oh yeah, that theme is in just about every religion and spirtual system. They are all hogwash, of course. I don't care if those damn arabs or whoever think they were inspired by God. I don't care if they surrendered themselves to this cause. They are all fake! Nor do I care if by stating that I crush their inferior hearts! All fake! Surely this is what Jesus tought.

Hey as long as you are content right?
