I really don't get the "thrust" of your post/question. All you're expressing is doubt and outrage (I guess).
So you doubt it, and you're outraged. So..

And frankly, the first 4 seals could have been ANY time in the last 2000 years, because there has NEVER been a time with no war, no hunger, and no death.

ERROR: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Synnen again.

LOl-you know, they were broken in that movie with Demi Moore in it. It actually came out in 1988-The Seventh Sign.
The Seventh Sign

I want your "PROOF" that those seals have been broken, I guess.

Please tell me how you KNOW they were all broken, and why 1988 is the year you chose for Satan to be installed in churches.

If you can't even defend your beliefs with the facts as you know them, of COURSE people are going to doubt.

I want you to give me the instances that involve the breaking of the seals, and what EXACTLY those signs were.

I guess, if by some remote chance I'm still here on May 22, 2011 and nothing has happened... I'll be eating a lot of crow on this site. But not before then.

HeadStrongBoy · Apr 1, 2011, 09:01 AM

Y'know... what you personally want interests me not in the slightest. All the info is available on the internet free. All you have to do is apply yourself.

Synnen · Apr 1, 2011, 09:02 AM

So... you're willing to come here, spout your theory, and then not back it up with your own words on the beliefs?

Sorry--I can't take you seriously if you can't support your own religious theories.

HeadStrongBoy · Apr 1, 2011, 09:03 AM

Don't take me seriously. See if I care.

HeadStrongBoy · Apr 1, 2011, 09:14 AM

Truth does not require consensus. It stands by itself.

HeadStrongBoy · Apr 1, 2011, 09:16 AM

I recommend the booklet "The End of The Church Age and After" by Harold Camping. It has all the details anyone could possibly want.

"I guess, if by some remote chance I'm still here on May 22, 2011 and nothing has happened...I'll be eating a lot of crow on this site. But not before then."

Didn't meant any disrespect; I just felt disrespected by your reply-which was uncalled for.

Well, if it makes you happy, I will be taking off work that day, keeping my kids home from school and praying to God that he will forgive us all for our sins and that he takes me and my family together...

But my point is, the fact that you are telling everyone that you don't care about what they think goes to show that you shouldn't have ever said anything at all to ever begin with. If you don't care, why share any of this with anyone at all? You've got me scared to death, hope you're happy-that's the only thing that makes sense now as to why you've shared all this and didn't even care in the first place.

Of course, Camping has already proven himself to be a false prophet by making an earlier prediction that didn't happen, and according to "the words of Jesus" in the Torah he should have been stoned to death when his prediction didn't come true. But, true to form, HSB has declined to respond to this matter multiple times. By their fruits you shall know them...

If you know it's pure hokum, there's no reason to be scared. The Lord is on your side, what can this kind of man-made nonsense do to you? Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the screwball date-setters. Stand on that and don't be scared.

Depressed,
What you need to do is to apply some of that incisive logic of yours to the Bible. You might be surprised what you find.

HeadStrongBoy · Apr 1, 2011, 09:32 AM

Total nonsense. The truth is not comforting at all. What's the point of defending an issue that's already been decided upon ? Would you really listen to facts ? I don't think so.

You are right, I guess I'm just a what-if kind of person. The facts that are surrounding this thesis make me believe that God would not end the world in that form.

However, I don't put anything behind me that it could actually happen. My purpose to begin with was trying to understand it, but at this point, I don't even know what my bi*ch is anymore...

You all are exactly right, I need not to be scared as the world could end at any given moment. I guess just hearing about it is frightening to me because I'd rather not be counting down my days and hours to my last breath based on some man's theory- and be focusing more on important things that I know are REAL in my life.

OH. MY. GOOSE.

The most HILARIOUS thing about that is that you don't even see the irony. I notice you didn't even BOTHER to comment on the parts of the Bible that no one uses anymore--like incest being okay and stoning divorced people to death if they ever have sex again.

If the Bible is valid, then it's valid in ALL of its pieces.

PS---how do you know that YOU are one of the 144,000?

NeedKarma · Apr 1, 2011, 09:47 AM

Here come the reddies but... I've noticed that those that subscribe to the end of times in the very near future are often those whose current lives on this earth aren't very fulfilling and they would rather be taken away that continue on here. Just an observation and opinion.

He didn't comment on most things. Maybe he should apply some of his incisive logic into our questions...

I'm not going to lie, I have never read the bible from beginning to end... just pieces from here to there...
144,000 people? How many people are in this world? Scary.
Maybe I shouldn't read the bible.

HeadStrongBoy · Apr 1, 2011, 09:50 AM

I'll tell you what's really hilarious is that you make up your own rules on how to interpret the Bible. The Bible explicitly has verses that tell us exactly how to interpret it. It acts as its own interpreter and as its own dictionary... if you pay attention to its rules.

But of course you, and a lot of other people, are smarter than God.
