Are We Heading Towards An Apocaylpse Of Biblical Proportions??

[nailit]

Lots of online vids suggesting so....

Starvation and famine.
War & rumors of war?
Earthquakes,
Nation rising against Nation,
(Matthew 24)

And then we have Revelation and its
infamous 'Beast' system. 666 etc. (Ch,13)
(Everything from the bar codes to smartphones to chip implants have been cited)


1) Name me a time that there has NEVER been a time of
earthquakes, famine, wars (Or rumours ) or nations rising against nations?
2) what is this infamous number supposed to be?

All the numbers of a Roulette wheel add up to 666.
Are we supposed to mean that Roulette players are
Satanists?

The Barcode thing...
The bars are spacers (nothing more),
Stop making stupid sh** up

And now,threats of world war 3?
Where in the Bible did it predict 3 world wars?

Answer...NOWHERE!
It predicted jack.

Condescending much? Typical religionist. Much joy everywhere

Nailit PP says poncily, this is about a biblical eschatological theme not a Stanley Unwin impersonation contest !

nay - reproves poncily with word and look

No need to worry, we are not heading for apocalypse, people like to doom monger and talk things up but mankind will always find a way to survive.

[bhg481]

The interesting thing about an apocalypse is that, if there is one and we're all wiped out, there will be nobody left to say "I told you so".

[fiveleaves]

Nature is raging witre h mass die offs of birds and fish.
The climate is changing before our very eyes. When in history have we seen that in real time.
The nations are troubled. We are on the verge of a global economic collapse and possibly the start of WW3.
The end that been here since 1948 when Israel was reborn, but things are now accelerating fast.
God wants all men to be saved, but that wont happen unless you accept Jesus's gift of salvation. Not too late yet.
Believe me you really dont want to go through the Tribulation years

[fiveleaves]

I accept there have always been wars, famines and earthquakes. That kind of goes without saying.
However there haven't always been nuclear weapons and there hasn't always been the technology to microchip every human in the style of the MOTB.
There hasn't also always been 7.9 billion people and rising on this planet. The Greenland ice cap and the Himalyan glaciers haven't always been melting, and Israel hasn't always existed. Only since 1948

What The Funicular has Israel got to do with the price of fish?

[Paigntonian]

No. What's the matter with you people?

[naomi24]

Fiveleaves, the Jews return to Israel resulted from the actions of men - because it was prophesied - not because God had a hand in it. Fulfilment of that prophecy was a deliberate act.

If God wants all men to be saved why doesn’t he save them? Why does a supreme, omnipotent super-power need to bargain?

"Apocaylpse"

Reminds me of Felix Dexter's Four Arsemen piece on Down the Line.

[Khandro]

naomi; //If God wants all men to be saved why doesn’t he save them?//

You really don't get it do you?

[naomi24]

Oh I get it, khandro, but I’m pretty sure you don’t.

[Khandro]

n. The reason you pagans don't 'get it', is that you have shut yourselves into a straitjacket of logic & rationalism which cripples your liberty (not freeing it as you posit) & stultifies your imagination, - what bores you all are!

[Atheist]

Khandro; do you really prefer being irrational and illogical? Please give an honest answer if you can.

[naomi24]

Khandro, why do you feel the need to be rude to people who ask logical questions? You do it every time - but you never offer an answer.

[Khandro]

Atheist; //Khandro; do you really prefer being irrational and illogical? Please give an honest answer if you can.//

Of course I do - I'm an artist, not a robot.

[Zacs-Master]

What sort of artist are you, Khandro? Genuine question.

[Khandro]

Usually, but not always, a modest one

[Zacs-Master]

How does your artistry manifest itself is what I really meant.

[Khandro]

Zacs, Painting, drawing, sculpture - I'm Renaissance man :0)

There is, as far as I know, only one person on AB who knows my identity & I think I'm in her bad books at the moment.

[Peter Pedant]

why doesnt he save them all
because it interferes with free will
but we really knew that since about Form 1 days innit

God's knowledge of the past and future exercised Thomas Aquinas 1280 or thereabouts, and this is involves creating people whom he knows will not be saved....
which brings us nicely to - - - predestination.
now....( on a diversion)
Archbishop Laud (*) 1620 or thereabouts, was thought to be an arminian heretic - and the failure to introduce Laudian reforms norrrrrrrth of the border led to the rather bare surroundings of St Giles Cathedral where the late Queen lay ( no bishops and a cathedral, yeah even the fluffy beebsters pointed that one out)

and the Arminian heresy is here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminianism
and if after reading that, you have any interest in predestination you are a better man than me
