Are We In Danger?

[Theland]

What do you think?

[THECORBYLOON]

Did the Bible predict the two world wars and the Cuban missile crisis?

[emmie]

every day, from mad cyclists on pavements, being run over by a bus, walking under a ladder, slipping on leaves, the list is endless.

//Axioms are articles of faith//

How do you know that? That's a rhetorical question. My axioms are inherently irrefutable.

[Theland]

No problem for me Naomi.

[naomi24]

So why are you worried? You're the only one posing these questions.

[Theland]

Just asking for others opinions.
But if this a put down, OK.

[Jackdaw33]

Christadelphians still exist. In many ways they are like JWs, except they don't go knocking on doors.

[anneasquith]

We are in danger of disrespecting anyone who does not agree with our views . Live and let live.

[Theland]

Who cares about JWs, Christadelphians, Uncle Tom Cobbly and all?
I am simply saying we have a bible, it makes predictions, and world news sees the prophecies building towards fulfilment. That's all.
Accept or reject, or better still, investigate.
Is that objectionable of me?

[Mamyalynne]

Not at all , we each get our inspiration and comfort from the sources that sit comfortably with us.

No good living life in fear,.

[Theland]

Thank you Mamya.
I do not live in fear.
I have peace as far as God is concerned.
Day to day life remains stressful, just like everybody else, but the grave hold no fear for me.

[Mamyalynne]

I realise times are hard for you just now and I hope they improve.

My life is luckily stress free at the moment and I am surrounded by love.

I pray things pick up.x

[Theland]

Thank you Mamya. That means a lot.

Theland, //I am simply saying we have a bible, it makes predictions, and world news sees the prophecies building towards fulfilment. That's all.//

But you’re not objective, Theland. You cherry pick and latch on to the bits that best suit your agenda. For example the bible says that Israel will be surrounded by enemies and then again it says that Israel will live in peace with its neighbours. Accurate? Well, one of them is! The bible can’t lose on that one!

Furthermore, Jesus, arguably the greatest authority of them all, said the end of times would come within the lifetime of his disciples, so what about that one? It didn’t happen, did it, just as the Nile didn’t dry up, and just as Egypt didn’t become a wasteland devoid of life.

So what about the very many failed prophesies, Theland - you know - those that can’t be slotted into a convenient spot?

//Who cares about JWs, Christadelphians//

You care enough about them to use their nonsense to attempt to support your claims.

//Accept or reject, or better still, investigate.//

I have investigated. Now you try it.

//Millerite? Is that not a lager?//

Aye, wear the fox hat

//Think you may find it interesting Nailit//

Thanks, but I didn't find it interesting at all.
(Just wasted 14 minutes of my life. But to be fair I dont have a tv so I could have easily wasted hours viewing Im a Celebrity or The X Factor as well...). I found it no different from all the sensationalist, end of the world, Hal Lyndsay books that I read back in the 80's. (He was wrong on so many predictions too).

Lots of figures in that vid about famines, pestilence, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes etc. It doesnt take a genius to work out that these things have ALWAYS existed. Nothing unique there.
The situations on the world stage between various leaders (Putin, Trump etc) have been repeated ad infinitum in the past and will be repeated ad infinitum in the future. At various times in the past Obama has been seen as the anti-Christ, as has Bush, Clinton etc.

Where do you stop? Or even begin?

[nailit]

Give just ONE concrete prediction and then I might start having reservations about my scepticism.

[Theland]

Holocaust - Valley of bones. Creation of the modern state of Israel.

Bringing the Jews from around the world back into their own land - it happened .

Israel is Gods timepiece. Check out the relevant web sites or YouTube vids.

Where in the bible does it predict Brexit ?
