Answer 1

No . . but the good news is that I found Jesus . . he's in my basement

Answer 2

Try reading Psalm 37: 9,10 11 12 I know it is a couple of those that will tell u exactly what god will do with the earth. U read some of those so why are you asking. The wicked will be destroyed and then the righteous will inherit the earth and live on it forever.

Answer 3

these are right, to the people of earth, earth does last forever. for no matter who you are, when you die the earth is still the same as when you were born. though the fact is that this earth will perish, than a new earth will be made, fit for all to live. psalm 105 even says that the foundation shall never leave and it seems that earth will last forever for the time between the 1st ansd 2nd is almost unelapsed.

Answer 4

Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Well, waddya know... some more of them danged biblical contradictions. And not only will earth go bye-bye... so will heaven. Doesn't sound very 'eternal' to me.

Anyway... in about 5 billion years, the earth will be turned into a crispy critter, as the sun expands as a 'Red Giant'. Then, its AMF to anybody who hasn't caught the bus to a younger solar system.

Answer 5

Okay. There are many reasons for these passages and many different interpretations.

Also, there is the doubt that your source is stable.

Keep in mind that the "bible" has been translated from and into many different languages over the last 3000 years. You can't be sure of anything, really.

+ Maybe the author meant for you to interpret "forever" as your lifetime. Not an eternity.

Answer 6

No. The sun will go red giant in about 4-1/2 billion years, swell up until it reaches somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter (Mars is toast), then collapse onto itself and burn out to a dark, cold cinder in a few hundred million more years. Don't worry; you won't be around to go through it...

Answer 7

On the skeptics page they forget to mention
1) Isaiah 45;7, But Israel shall be saved by the Lord with an
everlasting salvation; ye shall not be ashamed or confounded,
world without end.
2) Ephesians 3;21, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ
Jesus throughout all ages, world without end, Amen.

I Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails!!!!!

Answer 8

Umm... well unless you only believe that crap from the Bible, and not science then I guess so, but if you prefer to believe science instead of some book that was written well before anyone had an understanding of how the universe works, than you obviously know that nothing is forever in it's current state.

Answer 9

No. The earth has about 5 billion years left at best, regardless of what bronze aged tribesmen may have thought on the matter.

Answer 10

G-D knows, man proclaims

G-D is forever, the Earth was here before Man and shall be here as Man is gone.

Man is but a moment in time and less in the G-D Great Plan.

Answer 11

The earth will last forever , it is a mass of energy, it may reform with the sun, or in a distant crash, it shall remain. You and I and everyone else will be microscopic specks much sooner.
