have been told that you are part of Babylon the Great. If the time is there for it, how do you possibly apoligize to your children who you have misled when Armegeddon arrives?

Actually, I have not mentioned any kind of destruction, so your own views are playing a part in this question. Reading of the Bible is the only way to get a proper view, Old Testament and New Testament to learn how God has acted in the past toward those who listen to his word and those who do not. But the Bible does say to warn the wicked one of his ways so as to turn him back to God. People today are not paying attention and not listening to the heed, so Just what needs to be done to make them pay attention? They won't do it on their own, they don't listen to a message of love, and they don't listen to the false claims of burning in hell for all eternity for being bad. Most just want to be left alone and if that's the case, why are you here?

During Noahs day, Noah warned of the coming flood and the people scoffed at him. Maybe 60 years he preached of the coming destruction and the people then, just like today, paid no attention, if you recall, only eight people survived, that means everyone else from infant to old adult perished, will the same happen again? Yes, and the people need to know. It's not pleasant to think about, but think about it people must.

unbelievers have too much pride to apologize.
Arrogance is neccessary for atheism.

I thought you might be some immature Bible Belt teenager with the 'enthusiasm' for religion that youth often has. But according to your profile you are 50 year old father of 5. I'm not even going to insult you because to be a full grown adult and broadcast these views, I genuinely find frightening and creepy. All i'll say is I'm pretty sure my kids will be far happier and more well-adjusted than yours ever will if you teach them to be like you are.

John 6:44
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
you can't scare anyone into the Truth, and regardless of how often Christians are accused of such, true Christians share the Love of God not some "believe or burn" scare tactic
John 3
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

I understand your conviction, but I find myself questioning both your wisdom and compassion. This forum is not the place for such "questions", if indeed there is ever such a place.
Have you ever head the adage, "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"? This question is vinegar. It is antagonistic and will not serve to either to further the Kingdom of God, nor lead any to repentance.
Matthew recorded in his gospel that when Jesus saw the crowds, "had compassion on them, because they were harrassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." (Matthew 9:36). You would do to follow our Lord's example and have compassion rather than being the source of harrasment.

Well gee...the answer is obvious. We don't have to apologize to our children because we aborted them so we wouldn't have to waste our time raising them. We then reap the benefits of having more time, money and energy to expend on our drug habits, homosexual marriages and surfing the internet for porn (all of which is more useful than trying to answer a sanctimonious, preachy, holier-than-thou sermon posed as a question).
When armageddon arrives, look me up and I'll tell you what I think. Chances are I'll say something to the effect of "I didn't live my life in fear of what the guy in the sky is gonna do to me".
If there is a God who will punish me for eternity then that's just fine. I'd rather spend an eternity in hell than worship the monster who would create such a thing.

How do you apologize to your kids when the Levitating Pasta Creature entangles the planet Earth, causing it to implode with its crushing pasta force? Especially considering you deliberately misled them about the Levitating Pasta Creature's existence, and didn't allow them to read the Holy Tome detailing the Levitating Pasta Creature's rich history?
Does my question sound silly to you?
If so, imagine how silly your question sounds to a non-Christian.

Would this be the same Armageddon that every generation seems to believe is coming, and yet somehow has never arrived?
Your warning falls on deaf ears, because, quite simply, there is no evidence to back it up.

yawn.
do you know that people have been saying its the end of days for over 2,500 years. What the heck makes you think that its now?
btw what if your wrong? Are you going to apologize to your children about teaching them to believe that a 2000 year old dead Jew on a stick is divine?

There won't ever be a need to appologize to them, as I've heard of this "free will" concept, they have the right to chose their own paths.
