if you look at the bible armageddon, it is said to be Gods war to end wickedness and human suffering
​
the bible says to 'Raise yourselves erect and see the salvation of God'
​
so, for me, Armageddon is something to look forward to... it will see the destruction of the evil influence of Satan the devil (Gods greatest adversary) it will put an end to corrupt and abusive human rulership and it will ensure that human rights will finally be implemented by God himself
​
in the words of the prophet Daniel
​
Dan 2:44 'In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin...it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms and it itself will stand to times indefinite'
​
thats why Christians were taught by Jesus to pray for Gods Kingdom to come and for his will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
​
Bring it on

Re: Armageddon is not innevitable unless we desire it to be!
I completely agree with your sentiment DA. We should put war out of existence... but it wont happen will it! time and time again nations go to war and the situation is the same as its always been
​
we certainly will bring Armageddon upon ourselves because eventually God WILl say enough is enough and he will be forced to act before we blow ourselves to smithereens.

Why does Armageddon have to be our answer to the battle over good and evil? Have we not soiled enough blood in attempting to assert our will's over each other?
​
yes we have soiled enough blood, hence why we need a higher intervention.

God will put an end to war by destroying war mongers

Yes but what about the current expansion of the universe and our collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy...?
​
For that matter, what about the Suns' eventual death...?
​
What if another meteor hits like the one that destroyed the dinos...?
​
Who will save us from all that!?!?!?!? A guy on a cross!? Fuck that, we need Superman!!!
​
if we were to believe that the universe exists without direction, then sure you might have a point about its eventual demise.
But if it is under direction, then its demise is a fallacy because its creator will keep the sun powered, and keep the expanding universe in a course that will not collide

Wait, then why have Earth...? Just so God can ridicule His screwed up creation...?
​
im not sure i get what you mean here... why have an earth??? Perhaps because it is our home and the place where we were made to reside?

Re: Armageddon is not innevitable unless we desire it to be!
as a person yourself who chose to fight a war, you no doubt did so because you believed it was the only way to accomplish some sort of peace?
​
Is it so unreasonable to believe that God might see a need for war under certain circumstances?
