I have just watched Tony Robinson's programme on Channel 4 (UK) about the End Times, which is entitled the Doomsday Code.

http://www.channel4.com/culture/microsites/C/can_you_believe_it/index.html

I found it very interesting. I would like to point out that I am a Christian, this question is not about faith in that sense, it is about people's views on the book of revelations.

Should it be taken literally? Is it a standard Christian view point to be 'an Endtimer'? What about the Rapture, who here thinks that it will happen? Any ideas on when?

Another point I would like to raise is about Noah and Job. If I understand correctly, the world was flooded because basically people had sex with whoever they chose. "the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose." Genesis 6:2

Is it not true that a city was destroyed because of similar occurences? This is told in Job I believe.

Seems God did not rest on the seventh day until he first let the host of them (prepared for war), their heavens and earth, be finished(endead: sin, when "it is finished", brings forth death); and then God ended(finished) his work he had "made" of created/made (presenting his grace us case, in the matter of law vs grace), and then God rested from all his work which he had "made"(such as Christ being "made" perfect.

Perhaps God knows ya can't get any true rest with pesky in-laws around, unless ya let em have their end: Life + Death = Dead End. Good riddance to host of them (prepared for war, and not peace).

If any man(adult) be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
If any bring another gospel, let him be accursed.
For "their end" shall be according to "their works".
When they say Law & Law, destruction for "them".
But the end also written is notably so "none perish".

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Ok - I believe that compassion and understanding heal people rather than harsh punishment. However, I also feel a responsibility to protect me. The following is the e-mail

Hi, my name is Nova, and I run a pen pals website for prisoners at www.originalallrightsreserved.com. Because they do not have internet access, I place ads for incarcerated men and women on my site, in hopes of attracting people who might be kind enough to write one of them a letter-- many of these prisoners have lost contact with their families and friends over the years. Some people believe that prisoners are getting their "just desserts" when they suffer from loneliness and are separated from their loved ones. However, I'm not one of those people, being that my own husband has a life sentence, and I see first hand what he goes through. I am also a school teacher in a semi- urban district, and many of my students have a parent in prison. My website will be used partly to generate money that will be given

To all who differ; incl Muslims who think Christ a prophet only ! Listen here to the words of Christ
Rev 22v 13
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, THE FIRST AND THE LAST."

2006-09-16 09:23:36 · 8 answers · asked by David S 2 in Religion & Spirituality

This question is primarily directed at Christians because almost all Muslims are close-minded, so its a waste to try and change their hatred for ahteists/agnostics who they regard as "pagans".

I dont understand the hatred that comes from "some" Christians for atheists. The biggest threat in the world today is Islamic terror, yet some of you morons still wanna bash atheists/agnostics?

Cant we get a time-out here? An application of the "enemy of my enemy" principle?

Dose not common sense tell you that just because we were born into a certian faith that it might not be correct. Isn't research in truth needed? If most churches got rid of their man made traditions they would know what to beleive.Example; the Christmas celebration and easter celebrations predate Chris over a thousand years. The christian trinity came 250 years after Christ. Started by Constantine. Oh well quess I started enough troubl for one day.
Good bye friend

My personal opinion is that it is not. when I asked the question 'does god hate logic for turning away so many believers' I had most people say 'If you would use a little logic you would realize that he does.' So, trying not be close minded, I considered this answer...mayb i am the one who is not being reasonable...Tell me where my logic is flawed, I am interested in the whole god thing I just can't bring myself to believe:

This is one of the most common arguments:

Why believing in god is logical- (1) Look How perfect everything is formed...do you believe it could just have happened by chance?

(1) My logic tells me that it is unreasonable to believe that explanation because it is the same logic being used when going up to a puddle and saying: How perfect that hole is made to fit that puddle! Besides, if creation would require intelligence then who created the creator? He is and always was doesn't cut it because that is just throwing the explanation onto something beyond...

quoting the AP:
Benedict "thus sincerely regrets that certain passages of his address could have sounded offensive to the sensitivities of the Muslim faithful and should have been interpreted in a manner that in no way corresponds to his intentions," Bertone said in a statement.

He noted that earlier during his German trip, Benedict warned "secularized Western culture" against holding contempt for any religion or believers.

Bertone said the pontiff sought in his university speech to condemn all religious motivation for violence, "from whatever side it may come." But the pope's words only seemed to fan rage.

IT IS A SIN TO TAKE SOMEONE OUT OF CONTEXT especially when they "CONDEMN ALL RELIGIOUS MOTIVATION FOR VIOLENCE..."

ARE MUSLIMS PROVING TO THE WORLD THEY ARE FANATICS by constantly over-reacting?

2006-09-16 09:19:15 · 13 answers · asked by Search4truth 4 in Religion & Spirituality

and that the UN is the center of all evil? I just heard this in church. And more: that he is, nonetheless, part of the Divine Plan for the End Times, and that if we are wise, we will get Rapture Ready. We need not worry about Muslims and others, they will not be present. Or so we were told. I have my doubts, but what do I know.
