Through out the ages people have said now are the end times - so
trying to read stuff into the bible is going to get you no where. The
biggest problems on Earth today are over population and global warming
(terrorism is way down the list of dangers somewhere near meteor
strike).
You're right we don't have to do down with the ship, we can attempt to
not hit the very large and obvious iceberg coming our way.
To do this we all need to consume less of everything, especially meat.
Fly less or not at all. get smaller cars or even better use public
transport, stop using air conditioning and insulate houses property to
reduce heating bills and heat escaping, reuse more things, buy more
things second hand and use what we do have for longer, drink tap water
not bottled water, replace filiment bulbs with low energy bulbs (LED
bulbs are the way to go in the future), switch things off a the plug,
don't leave your phone on charge overnight and source more products
localy, prefering so local they arnt even packedged.
Do all that you you'l severaly reduce your foot print, will probably
be healthier, and richer.
In addition - get an education, give up religion (it's really not
helping you) and pay it forward - be unnessarily kind to others even
if there is no good reason. Everyone does that and you'll find people
being really nice to you for no reason as well, maybe just when you
really need it.

It's worse? University of Texas, August 1966. A man shot and killed
23 students and faculty in the cafeteria. By your reasoning things
got better between 1966 and 2006, but suddenly went back to pre-1966
badness in 2007.
It's not worse, Missy, it's exactly the same. Now put the Bible away
before you hurt yourself.
Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is
writing a book.

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble
their food, and tyrannize their teachers.

"Fundamentalists can kiss my left behind."
Some bumper sticker or t-shirt.
Jesus said the generation that sees Israel become a nation will not
pass before the second coming.Israel became a nation in 1948, so
someone that was born in 1948 has to be alive to see the second
coming. It's been 59 years. We live to be what 70-80 years old,? The
Bible talks about a generation being 40 years/80 years/and 100 years
So that means that we have anywhere from now-20 years,or maxx by the
word of god 100years from 1948 which makes the dead line 2048. Know
this I am not setting a date. For Jesus said that no one knows the
time. He will come like a theif in the night. And know this God (Jesus
Christ) does not lie, every thing he said was going to happen has
happened rite up to rapture. Thats the very next thing on the list.
And I tell you this all the monkey biss evolution that has no proof
has blinded many.Science truly points to god, but there blind. they
sit in a class and are fed a lie and they believe it because if there
is a God they would have to change there life styles to a moral one.
there stuck in worldly ways,sleeping
around,drinking,stealing,,dope,killing,money,nothing good ever came

which bible? why those books? the bible is hardly a guide to the

You really are pushing hard in your misrepresentation of what Jesus

He might just have an alternative Scripture, maybe the Gospel of Brian,
or Mary Magdalan, or perhaps the Gospel of both of Jesus's father's
father. Jesus father had to have two Jewish
\fathers, because Jesus had none and the math had to work out.
Anyway it looks like a drive by posting.
(Nonsensical fundy gibbrish)
Jesus also said (Mark 9:1), "And he [Jesus] was saying unto them,
'Surely I say unto you, there are some of those who are standing here
who shall not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it
has come with power."
Must be some awfully old Jews hanging around, eh?

What's wrong with Theocracy? (a Finnish Taliban, Oct 1, 2005)
Tap water is bad for you,causes cancer, because it's treated.
Even hell has good people in it. The only way is threw JESUS CHRIST.
All others will burn, even the good people If you where born after
1948 you will see the second coming.If you are left behind, you will
see BIG meteors hit earth. It will be so bad many will die of
fear.I's all in the bible, you just have to read and compare to our
history, 2/3 of all that was written in the bible has come to pass.The
next thing in line to happen is rapture. Then 7 year trib. one world
gov. under the anti christ which will rise from EU.3 1/2 years of
peace he will be killed, in 3 days he will rise from death. At this
point he will turn evil satan him self in human form.He will rule for
another 3 1/2 years The world will think he is GOD, because of lac of
knowledge. The end of that 7 years JESUS CHRIST and the dead in christ
(TRUE BELEAVERS) will come to earth to kill all evil. JESUS CHRIST
will put them in hell, and JESUS CHRIST will rule the earth. The dead
in christ will live here on a new earth under the rule of JESUS
CHRIST. the new millinium.After the thousand years will be white
thrown judgement for those in hell, than they will be cast into the
lake of fire with satan forever. From that point on there will never
be evil again amen and amen.
Now you will get a laugh out of this, because you are blinded by the
anti christ, and full of self, worldly things. Some of you are ment to
be evil, and belong to satan, You are tools to work against GOD
A day is coming, and you will remember reading this.
I am praying for all of you, with love not hate. I feel sorry for you,
I'm not judging you either. That JESUS CHRIST will do in the time of
judgement.
Yes I agree something big is going to happen i;s called rapture.
And of those who were standing around Jesus when he said "Some of
those standing here," how many were Raptured before tasting of death?
m
Actually, he's talking to the people standing there, and they're all
dead.
gregwrld
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled.
Mar 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass,
till all these things be done.
Luk 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,
till all be fulfilled.
So that means that someone born in 1948 has to still be alive to see
it .How long do we live 70-80 years old? May 15,2008 will be 60 years.
So maybe we have something like 20 years left?
And of those who were standing around Jesus on the day he said "those
who are standing here," how many were Raptured before they tasted of
death?
m
You are putting too much faith in the inconsistent and self-
contradictory stories of men. If anyone wants to know whether
Christian stories about God are true, all they need to do is ask God
to show up, in person, and endorse the Christian Gospel. A God who was
so anxious to have a personal relationship with us that He was willing
to become human and die for our sins, is a God who won't balk at being
asked to show up and actually participate in the relationship He
worked so hard to make available to Himself.
Then again, if God loved us as much as Christians claimed, what would
be preventing Him from showing up in person to say so? Two thousand
year old hearsay written down in a foreign country is no substitute
for face-to-face interaction. If you really love someone, you show up,
you don't leave them guessing what someone else's hearsay means. It's
silly to think someone as powerful as God could love us and want to be
with us, and us not know about it first hand from God Himself.
m
I believe your interpretation of the bible is in error.
There is not going to be some future world ruler -
ie an antichrist.
Care to wager on it? I'll even spot you two years. $100,000 says that
as of May 15, 2030 no rapture will have occurred. If I don't live that
long (I'll be 80 then) I name my son as my proxy.
So, you ready to put your money where your mouth is?
As a toxicologist I can say with certainty that that's nonsense. If
you'd mentioned fluoride, aluminium, nitrates or oestrogens, I could
at least understand where you were coming from, though there's still
no evidence of carcinogenicity due to tap water consumption. I'll
leave it to the epidemiologists and microbiologists to explain the
difference that treated water has single-handedly made to average life
expectancy.
> Even hell has good people in it. The only way is threw JESUS CHRIST.
> <snip>
Are you seriously asking us to dedicate our lives to the service of a
god who not only created hell but who, according to you, puts good
people in it (for eternity, I assume) if they don't type his name in
ALL CAPS? Just as well your god apparently said nothing about poor
spelling.

People have been claiming this for a thousand years. When are you going
to get around to it?
Really? And the Rapture occurred during the lifetime of
"those who are standing here", as prophesied according to
Mark? When and where did this occur? Or are some of them, as
noted, still alive? Evidence?

So while Armageddon is raging around us, and all the graves are being

with your interpretation of the Bible, you think we'll stop and say to

In extensive tests Floride has not been shown to cause cancer. On the
other hand not drinking water can lead to bad health. Bottled water is
no healthier than tap water.
> Even hell has good people in it.
That's wrong thing number 2.

Why would I want to throw a Jewish preacher who lived about 2000 years
ago? Two for one. It's through - not threw and Hell is a fairy story.
It's not real.

You are truly pathetic. You think of groveling as a higher purpose,
would reduce a child's wonder at the world to guilt, and fear even the
simplest of pleasures.
You have surrendered all integrity for self-deception. You're not even
an honest thief. You want to steal reality itself away from others,
not merely baubles and coins. You remind me of the doper at parties
from back in the 60s, who was not content to lie on the couch in his
pipe dreams, but had to try to convince others to join him. He had
some profound dissatisfaction with himself, combined with an inability
to control himself.

You and all the Christians will not be able to handle the truth.......
1). When does the ancient Jewish fairy tale book, bible, mention about
USA which was only created a few hundred years ago....?
Obviously, those people who invented this subject lied or makeup
story...
and you have been taken for it....pity not using your brain....
2). All you believers are worrying about this and that....why?
We, on the otherhand, have less to worry about any event
coming....
There were so many stupid predictions that had never been true
and just look at who the suckers were........
3). What disaster you are talking about........?
If the world has to collapse, everybody dies, why you need to
worry>...?
Its only in area such as Kosovo where the stupid Christian
religious people doing cleasing that defies modern civilisation.....
Those people are pigs and with cow brains............
You have never shown more naive that what had posted.........
Yap
Stupid, of course there is going to be antichrist......
If ancient Jew were to invent a god, they must invent satan, devil,
antichrist and so on.........for you to be sucker.........
Yap
Liar and coward will never take your challenge........
And its the silliest thing in this world that some Easterners are
looking at all these stupid stories about Christ, satan, devil,
prediction....etc
Luckily, the East has a lot of development to do, unlike you guys
fighting with all these bird-brain god-believers.....
Yap
What truth, you liar.........
What would you like to bet that 300 years from now some 24th century
Miss Missys will be dropjaw amazed that Old Testament prophecies
reveal with astounding precision why 24th century "America is in
trouble" (if it's still here), describe the events "leading up to
Christ's Second Coming" (which won't have happened), why the 24th
century "church is falling apart" (if it hasn't already), the latest
secret identify of the "antichrist" .... "the beast" ... the
"666" ....

"A state of skepticism and suspense may amuse a few inquisitive minds.
But the practice of superstition is so congenial to the multitude
that, if they are forcibly awakened, they will regret the loss of
their pleasing vision. Their love of the marvellous and supernatural,
their curiosity with regard to future events, and their strong
propensity to extend their hopes and fears beyond the limits of the
visible world, were the principal causes which favoured the
establishment of Polytheism. So urgent on the vulgar is the necessity
of believing, that the fall of any system of mythology will most
probably be succeeded by the introduction of some other mode of
superstition." -- Gibbon
Why invent when you can "borrow"? Satan, devils, hell, judgment and so
on are all missing from early Jewish writings, i.e. up to the time of
the Babylonian Captivity, when the exiled Jews were exposed to Persian
religions such as Zoroastrianism, which had all those and more. This
is especially interesting when you realize that the Hebrew word for
"Persian" was "Pharisee," and that the theological difference between
the Pharisees and the Sadducees (followers fo Zadok the priest) was
that Pharisees believed in the Persian ideas, and the Sadducees
didn't. The Sadducees held to the older, Mosaic form of the religion,
which lacked the Persian ideas, which is why, when Jesus was arguing
with them and tried to find an Old Testament reference to the idea of
a future resurrection, the closest he could come was the phrase "I am
the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob"--which says nothing about any
future resurrection.

No, a Biblical generation is only about 40 years, so the Rapture has
to happen on or before 1988. Haven't you read Hal Lindsey's best
seller, "The Late Great Planet Earth"?
By the way, I notice you found it necessary to add the words
"(Prophecy fulfilled in 1948)", since the verse you quoted doesn't
actually mention anything about re-establishing a nation. Isaiah's
words speak of a "woman" going into labor and giving birth to
children, plural. At best, it's a reference to Zion producing Jews,
not a reference to Jews establishing a Zion.
Secondly, the word "this generation," at the time Jesus referred to
it, was the generation that was alive around 30 AD. The 1948 Jews
would have been "THAT generation," relative to the time Jesus was
speaking. Thus the Rapture had to happen almost 2,000 years ago,
unless there are some *very* old Jewish Christians hiding somewhere.
