are we all doomed?

Answer 1

I don't think so...we make our own doom. We choose our own paths in life, most of the time. If we are miserable, then it is up to us to change that. I believe there is goodness in this world and I am determined to have MY piece of happiness~

Answer 2

Do you mean are we going to die? If that's what you want to know, then the answer is yes...it's inevitable. Every living thing dies sooner or later! The way my health is these days, I figure it's going to be sooner for me (probably within 20 years or less).

Now, if you're asking about the human race, whether it's doomed or not? Believe it or not, there still is some wiggle room left, but time is running out and eventually "we" will reach a point were there will be no turning back; at least that's my opinion.

One of the problems is our growing population. Currently, we have somewhere over 6 Billion people on our planet, and many of them starving or living below poverty levels. If we don't do something about controlling population eventually we are going to reach a point where our planet can NOT sustain us with it's natural resources, then we will be in real trouble.

The automobile industry isn't helping matters any either, because they really haven't done anything to improve the automobile since the model T Ford. If I'm not mistaken, it got 24 MPG back then and we have cars that are doing that now, so other than safety features, stereos, A/C, and DVD players in the vehicles they haven't done a whole lot.

Pollution is a bad problem too. A while back, I read that China had Acid rain, but what they failed to mention was that the pollution is so bad in China that it's effecting L.A. (I read it in another article somewhere several weeks prior).

Our lakes are being polluted, so are the rivers, and it all feeds into the ocean.

Let's face it, we need clean air to breath and fresh clean water to drink and grown things with. If we don't have these two most basic resources we won't last very long at all!

Answer 3

Certainly, according to the New Testament, "it is appointed to man once to die, and then, the judgement." So, man dying, or being doomed, is a given.

Christ and Peter talk about the world ending, at some point. Peter talks about the violent end of the earth. Christ, in Revelation, talks about the earth undergoing changes in environment, governments, worship, and wars until the end of earthly time, in the book of Revelation.

That, does not, however, mean doom for man. Christ came to this earth to live a perfect life, die on the cross, and arise to live on this earth for 40 days, and then ascend to the throne, in order to offer man hope for salvation.

Once we begin to understand the teachings of Christ, and the will of the Father, we understand the earth, these bodies, and the evil that is within the world will only be here for a short time. Therefore, we look past this life, to the next one - eternity.

If we follow Christ's pattern to hear, believe, repent, confess Him as the Son of God, be baptized for the remission of sins, and live a faithful and obedient life (Acts 2:38; Acts 8:36-38; Rev. 2:10), we have hope of heaven eternal. If we reject Him, we are, indeed, doomed to Hell (Mk. 16:15-16; Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 20:11-15; Rev. 21:7, 8)

I would be happy to study with you, if you wish.

Answer 4

The end of the world is nigh. Satan’s foot soldiers are everywhere and the premonitions of Nostradamus, The Book of Revelation and David Icke are coming true. Oh! Woe is me and woe to the world. Get ready for the Day of Judgment is coming.

OK, I know that a ball of flames didn’t hit Paris on the day of the eclipse but so what? Its just a question of timing. Haven't the cosmonauts just abandoned the Mir Space Station because its falling apart? That baby is coming down man and its going to hit the Eiffel Tower any day now. Come on. You’ve got to cut a few days slack for a guy who made his prognostications 400 years ago. You try doing it. Go on, make a forecast and see if it comes true. Its like trying to find a journalist with integrity or a lawyer with a conscience. Almost impossible.

We face a cross-roads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly. I speak, by the way, not with a sense of futility but with a panicky conviction of the absolute meaninglessness of existence which could easily be interpreted as pessimism. The world has to listen and people have to change, for without a revolution, everything is as a broken pencil. Pointless.

If it isn't obvious already then I should come out with it in a more roundabout way. I resign. Its all over, I quit. I’m getting out of here and looking for a place to proselytise and pray for absolution. I suggest you do the same swiftly.

Don’t ever say I didn’t warn you.

Answer 5

I assure you that you will not be thinking this question all the time. It must be a small percentage of your time that you spend upon dangerous questions like this? Tomorrow you will have something else on your mind equally worrying but totally answerable. The things of life prevail upon things that are critiques of life, and then things better in life are replaced by thing that are best in life. And we play an important role in all this. There is a great deal going on.

I offer you a simple and somewhat amusing logic to consider before we pledge ourselves to any deeper consideration. You question is a very worrying question indeed, no doubt. It is a big one too, but if you can ask this question all the time, or most of the time then - yes, we are doomed. But if you can’t, and your temporarily assumed sense of apocalypse soon has lost. The life goes on forever, we are not sure how but we feel that it does.

Answer 6

When I hear that expression I always think of Dad's Army - so I laugh......

Here is an article I found about the concept of ebing doomed, quite interesting I think.

For me personally, I follow the rule in life that evil only grows when good people do nothing.

I think it is hard particularly at the moment in a world where evil people use "religion" falsely to terrorise people. But I think it is also abhorrent when people are allowed to go on marches celebrating those actions - that exceeds freedom of speech. It is this "tolerance" of "human rights" that is allowing evil to flourish and this country needs to start responding to.

Answer 7

Last few weeks the scientists are telling us the holes in the Ozone layes above the poles are starting to close, the world would be a terrible place to live without this protection from the suns rays.

Maybe, just maybe we have a chance regarding polution issues but then we have the terrorist problem to deal with.
Almost 2,500 died in 9/11, how long will it be before the terrorists get a Nuke?

Answer 8

we are doomed, these apparent Bible codes say that the world will end pretty much every year. I wonder what the apocolypse will look like? Red sky? Fireballs? People going crazy?

Answer 9

In the Tibetan Buddhist sense, yes, we are all dying.

Think about it, nobody who has ever lived on earth has come out alive.

We pop out our mother, and then it's just a matter of time before we become worm food.

Make the most of it while you can, don't think you're going somewhere after here, have a laugh, help others and get high. Peace.

Answer 10

Yeah probably... but then again I think we should have lots of fun and try to make stuff better 4 every1 before the doom descends upon us hehe.
