Did you know that unbelievers here are fulfilling Bible prophecy?

Question

And I'll bet they don't even know it. Read 1Peter 3:1-7, which I'll quote in part: "Knowing this first; that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation'." Just one of numerous examples, right Brothers and Sisters in Christ?

Read 2 Peter 3: 1-7 which states in part, "Knowing this first; that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation'." Just one of numerous prophecies, right Brothers and Sisters in Christ?

I apologize for the original type-o. I hereby reemphasize that the Scripture in question is 2nd Peter Chapter 4, not 1st Peter which was a type-o. Excuuuuuuse me.

nexus moon;Checked web you gave and noticed Biblical prophecies not included. Will check further.Thanks
Ivan;If your bishop's responsible for your denial of Christ's divinity than he is one in error. Jesus also said to preach the Gospel and Bible commands us to fight evil, let our light shine, be salt of Earth, war against Satan, expose false teachings and be thankful for fulfilled prophecies. If this is R.C. bishop then teachings are not Biblically based and clearly break God's law and deny His grace; if Anglican or United then they've sinned by ordaining homosexuals and claiming God's blessing on their union in marriage.

Answer 1

Well, I'm one of the non-believers, but I really liked that. And no, I didn't know that. I find that quite interesting. But I still don't believe it.

Answer 2

who ever said peter was the one telling the truth , can you find that in the other texts by the apostles , not only this if you did a little reasearch the book of peter came into existence at least a few hundered years after christs death , i don't know bout you but i don't like to have rely on something that was passed on orally a few hundred years before it was penned , this one fact devalues your argument not only that i could logically twist that phrase to be directed at any group including a vast majority of christians

Answer 3

I don't know what you mean. People who are members of other religions than yours believe in their religions. Non-religious people still run their lives according to their ethics and values. How are they asking, "where is the promise of His coming"? Your question makes little sense.

Personally, I think that Fundamentalists like you just want to feel superior to others so you persecute people and lash out at us with this notion that other people are going to be tortured eternally for believing anything other than what you believe. It's cruel, Sadistic and abusive. Your assertions sound to many like saying, "believe in Santa or you'll be eternally tortured". I see Fundamentalists as being totally devoid of any evidence that the Bible was written by God or even that God exists. I'm just trying to be a good person and make the best sense I can out of the universe, just like everyone else.

I asked a bishop about you Fundamentalists and he said I could quote him as saying that Fundamentalism is the worst abomination against the Church in history. He said that real Christians just love their neighbors as themselves, do to others as they'd have others do to them and leave other people alone, because Jesus said, "Judge not lest you yourself be judged."[1] He said that when Jesus said this, He really meant it, but Fundamentalists seem to think that he meant something else, when His words are clear.

Jesus also prophesied false prophets and said that we'll know them by their fruits. It seems to me that your fruits are abuse, cruelty and Sadism. You and the other Fundies certainly seem like false prophets to me. Now, personally, I'm agnostic about the divinity of Jesus. For lack of evidence to the contrary, I think the most logical conclusion is that he was a human being as opposed to the son of God. But, I think he was also a man who said some great, wise things, and, believe it or not, I actually try to live my life by a lot of the things he said. But, whether he was human or whether He is divine, it's fairly clear to me that you and the other Fundies are hypocrites.

Answer 4

Scoffer does not mean unbeliever. Anyone can Force such prophecies to mean what they want when they change the meaning of words.

I find this type of thing to be very dishonest and shows a true lack of knowledge in what is written.

Answer 5

Sorry, but all the prophecies of "the last days" have been fulfilled over and over again. In fact it's happened so many times that a book has been written about the history of it. It's titled "The Last Days are Here Again."

It's kind of like the boy who cried "wolf!"

Answer 6

Ah, but you assume the bible is a reliable source of truth and rely on it to prove your points. The bible is a flawed chimera of a document, stitched together from the writings of many over a period of hundreds of years, altered and translated ad infinitum. All the authors had their own agendas (like Paul, the Don King of his day) or were trying to explain away things that they could not understand or explain.

Answer 7

I'm sorry, but this does not convince me of anything. Don't you think that if someone was sitting there and writing the bible that it would be easy for them to think up something like this. It doesn't really take a genius to figure out that there will be skeptics. It would be easy to make a prediction that there would be unbelievers and write something trying to scare them. It's not working. But you guys sure seem to get a kick out of it!

Answer 8

I think the internet is fulfilling Bible prophecy, and was predicted in the O.T.. - Like lightening that flashes in the East, and is seen in the West. -- Flying scrolls that go in and out of every house _ The Word.....

Answer 9

I've read the Bible. Most of us "unbelievers" have. Vague self fulfilling prophecies don't sway me - especially since "scoffers" have been around the entire time Christianity has existed... and were often killed for their scoffing.

Answer 10

If you are right,then how long is this crap supposed to last?I mean,if that's the case,we have been fulfilling that prophecy for quite some time,now.

Answer 11

Sorry you are in error. Any Christian belief can be somehow be resolved or rationalized in that quagmire of a book you call the Bible.
