In Matthew 24, Jesus relates to his disciples Things that are to come after his crucifixion.

“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
This doesn’t sound to me like the resurrection of Christ. Talk of ‘the elect’ being gathered together by the angels does not sound like the events that took place after the crucifixion. I would say that we are still waiting for Jesus to ‘appear in the sky’ to ‘gather the elect’ two thousand years later. But the gospel goes on to say.

I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Did Jesus get it wrong?

Read it for all the good, virtues and morals, or is that the reason you dont want to become Christian, its too much work, you want to do life the self serving way

I'm not saying ALL Christians do this--so if this doesn't describe you, no need to make nasty comments.
But there seems to be an abundance of folks who are so very quick to judge others.
Prime example: my Mom is one of the most spiritual, wonderful persons I'm honored to know.
My sister-in-law gave her a really hard time cuz she got a tiny butterfly tattoo. Started spouting crap about being worried that she may not see Mom in Heaven; that Mom blew it cuz she put something on her body that the Lord didn't intend. PUH---LEEEEEEZE!!
This sis-in-law wears SO much make-up!! EEEK! (She shouldn't wear any,cuz she has a gorgeous face!)
I wanted to smack her & point out the obvious: Your icky blue eye shadow & 8 coats of mascara---uh...don't think that's any more 'real' than Mom's sweet butterfly tattoo...
I never said anything, but I am SO tempted to!!
That is just one example.
The longer I live, the less I believe in 'organized religion'. Too much hypocrisy for me.

All of us are on a downward spiral to the grave. Our heartbeat is like a drum beat as we continually march to our own death. My question is simple. How often do you consider death, and what impact does this have on your life? Most people I know say "well you just live and then you die, so enjoy it as much as possible." If you believe this way, do you truly find satisfaction in this?

Most people have been rasied to believe there is a God, and many of them pass it on to their children. But no one has seen God so how do we know there is such a thing. Other countries worship other Gods. So how many Gods are there. If God is real then why is their so much pain and suffering going on. Why does not God not answer someone prayer after years and years of praying. Why does good good to some and bad to others... How do we know the bible is true. That was written so many thousands of years ago. Do you now how many stone engavings it took to write the bible. There really is no proof of anything. Why does God let children be molested and raped and beat. If there was a God he would stop all of this. But he is letting his children suffer. One can not pass judgment on a parent who abuses their child when God who is suppose our loving father is letting it happen. He is doing nothing to stop it. So how do we know God is for real? How many of you believe in it because of your family

Almost Atheist= Denies the existence of all gods except one.

Ignorant Atheist= Never considered the existence of any god/s but denies their existence.

Weak Atheist= Denies the existence of any god due to lack of evidence.

Strong Atheist= Denies the existence of any god due to confirmed empirical evidence.

I am a Strong Atheist. But, I prefer to call myself a Freethinker or Secular Humanist.

The Old Testament contains several references to extreme violence that I find alarming, and something that I've never really understood. God is unchanging, yet post-Christ, he no longer wants you to stone people to death for ignoring the sabbath and so on.

I don't get it, but fair enough, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

My question is: Does faith in Christianity include a degree of sympathy for voilent means? In other words, if you believe in and follow Christ, are you likely to support violence as a worthwhile solution to problems, or oppose it?

Are the Christians that support war and violent means doing it as a part of their Christianity, or is this the 'human weakness that will always sin' aspect?

What would Jesus do in the War on Terror?
