    End times
    Hello Christians:

    I've been reading the thread about some date that's rapidly approaching, when the earth will end, or something like that... The people engaged in that thread actually believe it.

    I suppose, if you believe in your religion, that would be something you'd think... My question is, and I mean no disrespect, how do you deal with your day to day life KNOWING there's only a few days left??

    I cannot imagine waking up each day knowing I had only a few mornings left. Do you REALLY believe that this upcoming date is it, or is it just some undetermined time wayyyy down the road?

    But, I'm interested in hearing from those of you who think there's only weeks left.

    Exy, this is nothing new.

    According to Christians the world should have ended many times already. Then, when it doesn't happen they claim that they translated the bible verse wrong, etc. etc.

    It gets old after a while. Heck, it was old the first time.

    Wasn't there a thread last year about the world ending because of Cern? A lot of Christians claimed that the bible said that it would happen.

    There was so much hype, some people really believed it was the end. The day came and went and now they need to pick another day, because they got it wrong.

    Will the world end one day? I don't know, and I don't believe anyone else does either.

    When it happens it happens, and I plan to be having sex when it does. :)

    Yep. This kind of talk has been going on as long as there have been Christians. It never happens when they predict it will, and then they assign a new date... and a new date... ad nauseum.

    I am a Christian.

    If a Christian goes by the bible. NO ONE KNOWS THE END. THE LAST DAY. NOT EVEN THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN OR JESUS HIMSELF KNOWS THE DAY.

    Okay, just had to say that.

    Yes, like others have said. Many religious leaders have claimed to know the end, or last days. Every time they were wrong.

    My take is that those who want to believe that the end is soon are having a crappy life and are too lazy to fix it.

    Wasn't there a verse that said "no man shall know..."? The bad part about these charismatic or gimmick preachers is the harm they do to the credibility of the truly good.

    Nope, I don't agree. Can you define how something can "go against history"? How can something go with history?

    Ex,

    I do not believe that any man knows the day or the hour of when the 7 year tribulation period will began. ( because Jesus himself said that) But he also said we could KNOW when it was about to occur... because it will be like in the days of Noah. The Bible records that man thought continually on evil.. day and night in those days.

    Do I believe the antiChrist is alive and well on plantet earth? I DO! Do I worry that the earth will no longer be anytime soon? Naaah. The Bible says after this guy (the beast or anti Christ) signs a 7 year peace treaty with Israel is when the 7 year tribulation period starts. It also states there has never been a time like it nor will there ever BE another time. After the 7 years the Lord Himself will come down and put his feet on the Mount of Olives and split it into... and he will deal the anti christ and the false prophet ( not going to be pretty). He will rule and reign for 1000 years... on earth. It will be a restored back to the garden of eden.. in that the Lion will lay down with the lamb.

    So do I worry about the horror to come on this planet. No I don't worry. I know the end.. I know that just before the tribulation I will be raptured out of here but Honestly? I just am concerned for those who are blinded and think all of this is foolish. That is my biggest concern... reaching the UNbeliever so they don't have to endure the wrath that really is coming.

    Hello T:

    Thanks. I can see how being raptured out of here BEFORE the big event would make the end times easier to contemplate...

    Okie dokie Steve,

    The great thing about my Jesus is he will NEVER force you to believe... it is always about faith and free will. I don't take lightly the people that are left behind either... but all I can do is point people in the right direction and leave everything else up to God. There is a verse in the bible that I cling to in any situation that causes me to have fear ( fear of the future, fear of the past, whatever kind of fear)

    He has not given us a spirit of fear but of Love, Power and a sound mind.2 Timothy 1:7


    Therefore as a Christian, I put my faith and trust in the Lord. And I get up believing He is in control and everything is going to be all right.

    So anyway I hope I answered your questions... as a Christian. :)

    Hello again, T:

    You did... And, I know you proselytized me because you care about me. For that, I'm grateful.
