Do you think the atheist,agnostics, and the deceived are in the bible to prove last days?

Question

2 Peter 3 First, I want to remind you that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire. 4 This will be their argument: "Jesus promised to come back, did he? Then where is he? Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained exactly the same since the world was first created."
2 Timothy 3 You should also know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
Romans 1 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.
28 When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done. 29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents. 31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. 32 They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

almost everything I used say END TIMES not present but refers to future prophetic.

Answer 1

I bet you don't have the courage to A. Read this, B. Check the references...

According to Christians, God is all-knowing - he knows all the past, all the present and all the future. If this is so, then God must know everything we do long before we do it. This means that our whole life must be predetermined and that we act not according to the free exercise of our wills but according to our predetermined natures. If we are predetermined to be good we will be good and if we are predetermined to be evil we will be evil. We will act not according to our will or choice but according to the way God has already foreseen we will act. Although Christians will insist that we do have free will, God's omniscience simply makes this logically impossible. And that people will act only as God determines is verified in the Bible

If people are evil it is because God has chosen to make them evil (Rom 1:24-28) and caused them to disobey him (Rom 11:32). If they do not understand God's message it is because he has made their minds dull (Rom 11:8) and caused them to be stubborn (Rom 9:18). God prevents the Gospel from being preached in certain areas (Act 16:6-7) and he fixes long before it will happen when a person will be born and when he or she will die (Act 17:26). Those who were going to be saved were chosen by God before the beginning of time (ii Tim 1:9 Eph 1:11). If a person has faith and is thereby saved, their faith comes from God, not from any effort on their part (Eph 2:9-10). One may ask "If a person can only do what God predetermines them to do, how can God hold them responsible for their actions?" The Bible has an answer for this question.

But one of you will say to me: "If this is so, how can God find fault with anyone? For who can resist God's will?" But who are you, my friend, to answer God back? A clay pot does not ask the man who made it: "Why did you make me like this?" After all, the man who makes the pot has the right to use the clay as he wishes, and to make two pots from one lump of clay, one for special occasions and one for ordinary use. And the same is true of what God has done (Rom 9:19-22).

So apparently in Christianity a person's life and destiny are due purely to the whim of God and as mere humans we have no right to complain about what God has decided for us. The idea that we are all predetermined is quite consistent with the idea of an all-knowing God but it makes nonsense of the concept of making a' effort to do good or avoid evil.

Anyone care to retort?

Answer 2

Every generation has thought it was the end times. Every generation since Jesus has had groups not putting anything into the story of Jesus coming back. So, I don't think that putting non-believers in the bible is any sort of prophecy. I think a good prophecy would be "The world is going to end on because of ." Then it comes true. But I've never seen any kind of those prophesies. And, we're still here.

Answer 3

No. Even when the NT was being written, people were already making fun of Christian lunacy, so the writers just wrote that into their work of fiction so they could say "see! I told you there would be scoffers and sure enough there are!"

Apparently, the last days have been going on for 2000 years now.

Answer 4

Well, that BS claims that those who do not believe in "god" are going to turn on their friends, etc. That is because the god concept was made to keep people from doing that through the fear that they will burn. We are more civilized now. The developed nations don't need that. We have a justice system. We are to the point that we do not need fairy tails to keep order. It is social evolution.

Answer 5

another christian that talks too much. you put too much reality in the bible. its a book of common sense. not fact. after all the book was written by men that thought the world was flat. why cant you just lead a good clean life without saying its the bibles doing? do you have to believe to be able to lead a clean life where you treat people as they should be treated?

Answer 6

Bible in Genesis says God made animals on day 5. On day 6 he made man seperate.

I see evidence for evolution. This means the Bible to me is innaccurate.

I am not being decieved with my own eyes.

There is no end of days.

There is no judeo-christian God.

Answer 7

The end of Christianity is coming soon, yes. Science is shining a light on it that no amount of backpedaling can combat.

But we've been laughing at you for 2000 years, that's nothing new.

Answer 8

None of you understand. We are in the "end of days." By end of days the Christians mean the point at which the beggining of the eventual end starts. Every generation has thought that they lived in the end of days because they were right. The beggining of the eventual end has begun.

Answer 9

Right!

But ... wasn't that written almost 2,000 years ago and hasn't this stuff been going on all the time since then? So what makes THIS time any more propitious than, say, the week after it was written?

Answer 10

We may be in the end times, we may not be. No one can know that. As long as a your relationship with God is right, I wouldn't worry about it. Things will happen in His time, of course, not ours.

God bless!
