For those who do not accept scripture as proof to Biblical fact......................
Jesus is the Living Word (God) manifested in human form.
I don't understand why those who choose not to believe in the Father and His gift of Salvation are constantly working towards breaking our (Christians) faith. I do understand that we will be attacked. What reason do they have? Do they know who/what exactly it is they are being used by? Do they just believe ultimately feel they have only themselves to answer to.....which is basically to say they believe they are their own god. They are self worshipers so they can make the rules and change them when convenient because of their rebellious natures.....or do they just feel their filth and know they are not worthy of the love Christ has for us and it scares them so they live in denial?

How do you get gay out of natural affection? Thanks so much for proving my point. The bible was specifically written with each scripture open to a million different interpretations. What if I have a different interpretation, or Jerry Falwell, or Pastor T, or Grandma Moses? What you did was make the scripture fit the point that you wanted to make. Paul may have stolen the story of Jesus birth from a lot of other deity's before him, but he was smart enough to make his book vague and pliable.

What's going to happen in the future when we look back on today as the good old days when sin was hardly an issue?
You can't imagine how much worse it can get.
Don't believe me? Just think of what it must have been like for Lot...

In every lifetime they get worse? Let's see we save a lot of lives due to machines that can track and predict hurricanes and tornados. http://www.deadlystorms.com/storms/1900/1900%20Galveston/index.htm Fewer people die of tuberculosis, malaria, flu, rabies, yellow fever, syphillus, dental abcesses, infected wounds, ect. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wjmartin/dem-deth.htm If there's an accident, you don't have to wait until you can find a phone to call for help because you're carrying one or someone else is. http://encounters.typepad.com/photos/on_home_towns/side_table_with_rotary_phone.JPG You don't have to raise your own vegetable and animals if you want to eat. And Christianity has managed to mostly stop doing things like this: http://www.shofars.org/persecution/default.htm

2 Timothy 3:1-7
"1 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6 For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth."
Yes the we are in the last days! People don't even respect Jesus or God!
The actions of the world does prove the bible is accurate and correct.

That doesn't prove anything, but even if it did, why is all that stuff coming true NOW, two thousand years later? Seems to me like the Bible isn't very good at predicting things if it takes two millennia for it to get something right.

Um, you really can't use the Bible as proof that it, in itself, is true...
You're drawing comparisons to what you see today to what a book says. Come up with plausible evidence from OUTSIDE the bible to prove that it's "true", and then we'll talk.

That's not proof that the Bible is true, just proof that one particular writer had a good insight into how people sometimes behave. As for the "end times" baloney--it's been "the end times" for some group or another since Yeshua was crucified. Move on, please.

People have always been that way. Proves nothing.
This one TV evangelist was always interpreting that stuff to events regarding the former Soviet Union. Now he's doing the same with the Muslim world. Just like your horoscope. You can read anything into this stuff.
Just silly. Silly!

Yup, the same old things are part of every era of human history.
If you think the end times are here, send me all your money. You don't need it, right? Let's see your commitment to these prophecies!
Christians have been predicting the end of the world for 2,000 years. Haven't been right one time.
