Urgent Warning ?

[goodlife]

No matter how well you like what you are doing, no matter how satisfied you are with your situation and no matter what your plans are, you will immediately leave all these and run to a place of safety if you are convinced that the danger of sudden death is staring you in the face.
Revelation 18: 4-5

[Zacs-Master]

What is your idea of 'a place of safety' goodlife?

[Arksided]

I have no fear but need’s must as the devil drives.

And I’m an Angel
shhh!

[naomi24]

Goodlife, why is it so difficult for you to understand that some of us accept that death happens? You waste your life wallowing in gloom, doom and misery if that's what you want to do - but keep it to yourself.

[Arksided]

Nothing wrong with venting sadness in my eyes

[Arksided]

As long as it’s not preachy

[Dizmo]

Ok, so I'm new to all this, what has that paragraph got to do with Revelation 18: 4-5? Am I reading the wrong bible? There are so many versions. Does anyone have a link to Revelation 18: 4-5?

[chanel5]

Here you are, Dizmo, not hard to find.
Just copy and paste the reference into Google

[Old_Geezer]

I'm unsure what the point being made, is.

[Dizmo]

chanel5, I found that quote, however I'm not entirely sure what it has to do with what goodlife posted. I just assumed I was missing something.

[naomi24]

Diz, Basically the verse is telling people to turn away from sin and run to God - or as Goodlife would have it 'a place of safety'.

[goodlife]

Like, Ezekiel, he knew beforehand that even Christendom would need to have his final warning served upon her. He knew what the history of his chosen people of pre-Christian times indicated, or is foreshadowed our day. Ezek. 3:17, 18.

So Naomi you go back to your little page and I will stick to my page.

[Dizmo]

Cheers Naomi. I genuinely hadn't a clue what any of this was all about. I think I'll just give this up as a bad job and move onto something else.

[naomi24]

What's my little page, goodlife?

[naomi24]

Diz, ;o)

[Old_Geezer]

One should be wary of trying to use examples of practical truths to bolster questionable religious belief. There is no real comparison and thus no support for such belief.

(But in ancient times it may have convinced the more naive I guess.)

[goodlife]

Some history:- more than 30 years before atomic bombs were exploded in the Far East Jehovah had mercifully posted his watchman to sound the warning of what is evidently now near, inside this generation. Even before World War I broke out in 1914 he had his “watchman” class posted to sound out the warning. This was done not only to warn those who wanted to know how to survive but also to put Jehovah’s willful enemies on notice. Thus such enemies will know from what source the destruction comes. No faultfinders will have any basis for complaining that He gave them no advance warning. Christendom, which has the Holy Bible in more than a thousand languages, should have been the agency to sound the warning, because of what she claims to be. But she has not served as such. Instead, she has joined in the two world wars and other wars of this century, which have measurably ruined the earth. Who, then, is the composite “watchman”?

[Old_Geezer]

And your evidence for these claims is ?

[vulcan42]

goodlife, what you state is known as fight or flight, a physiological reaction in response to a perceived threat. It's something everybody does, even our stone age ancestors did, long before the bible was even thought of and especially before your version of the bible was written. Stop quoting your bible to prove the bible is correct. That is as naïve as quoting from a book of fiction to prove the story is true.

[goodlife]

Old_Geezer Its historical. The Bible wasn't written for nothing s some may have you believe. eg Naomi.

[naomi24]

//The Bible wasn't written for nothing s some may have you believe. eg Naomi. //

There you go making it up again, goodlife. I've never said that.
