Christianity and the End Times

Yes, that should give you pause for thought. Why is it that it is only by imagining that you can approach the god who is (As if that means anything at all.) No. I think you're all deluded and looking for impossible and improbable answers to your own problems.

It doesn't matter how many ologies people have, they have no more knowledge of God than you or I. Once upon a time you got literate people making wordy stuff up, these days you get sciency sounding stuff made up too. It's all of a piece; not a shred of actual evidence for any of it - just different kinds of people making stuff up to suit their worlds.btw - we already know that there is enough randomness and time to create us, because here we are. Whether a god set it up is still an unanswered question. And whether it was *your* god is yet another.

The facts, as usual are against you. Need I produce the data yet again? Times are getting better Phat. And the fact that some people might turn to religion as a last resort should give you the clue that we invented it because of need, not fact. Calvanism is preposterous. Theism is at least internally consistent. It's such a waste of time and resource. I don't know what the global turnover of organised religion is but it's a collossal figure and the time you guys spend on your knees begging is enormous. Time and miney better spent doing something actually useful.Quite apart from people needing to growup and think for themselves, stop creating warring tribes and get in with leading useful lives. That's a confused question. Wars will occur whether there's a god or not. We know what the best chance of avoiding them is - increased trade, more equal sharing of wealth, democracy and solid institutions defending it, education, health systems, treaties etc etc

Fyi

It's not almost here and it won't happen by October. Or ever.But I predict that when it doesn't happen it won't change a thing for you.

I'd thank th Lord that he's made the earth a better place 😇 If it really happened in such an obvious way, I'd do what I always do when the evidence is so strong, I'd change my mind.That's the difference between rationalists and irrationalists.

Yeh, well, no matter, it ain't happening and you'll be just as convinced about your beliefs when it doesn't. Probably more so, that's the way it always works with failed prophecy.

It's because you want it. And you want it in your lifetime. The end of days is never anything but nigh. Yet never happens.

There's your reason Like I say. The end times are always nigh. They have to be for anybody to be interested. That's why the end times were supposed to be within the lifetimes of the generation listening to Jesus. It's ok Faith, you can relax Jesus didn't say:For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here whose great, great, great, great, great (etc) grandchildren will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. (Matthew 16: 27, 28)

You've been reading about it and decided to believe it. It's not surprising you now think it's about to happen. It means that you're deluded. Nothing is going to happen. Nothing has ever happened when people like you declare the end of the world.

Of course it isn't. Oh, good grief...The fact that my house didn't fly off into the sky today doesn't mean it will never fly off at all either.You doomsday merchants have been spouting this nonsense for thousands of years. But you learn nothing at all from it.

You think it would make any difference? The prophecy was to be fulfilled withing the lifetime of those hearing the prophecy. It failed. Ever since people like you predict it again and again. And again and again it doesn't happen. And you learn nothing from it.

Despite the bible saying very plainly that it was to happen in the life of those there listening. Insisting that it didn’t happen at all is simple reality.

Yes, you read it the way you want to read it. Disegarding the straightforward words of someone talking directly to the people in front of him, you decide that he's talking to you 2,000 years later.Well here's a thing, you’ll know on the 1st October how wrong what you feel and believe is.Correction: it won't change a thing for you.

Yes, I know. Being wrong about pretty much everything has never changed your mind about anything.
