I agree with Cyrus A......OOOGA BOOOGA....
Consider this:
Fact: the human race has been around for hundreds of thousands of years.
Fact: the concepts of an afterlife, of gods, spirits, etc. have only been around for a few millenia.
Fact: these concepts were invented and promulgated by ignorant PRIMITIVE barbarians as an attempt to explain the world around them, before there was a such thing as science or epistemology.
Fact: most of the books of the bible were written by people who were never there, as second- or third-hand accounts decades or even centuries after the events they claim to tell about.
Fact: the books of the bible have been heavily edited over the centuries, with passages or even whole books being re-written or omitted to fit the theological and political climates of the time.
Fact: the books of the bible have also been subject to extensive errors, misinterpretations, and differences of opinion in interpretation as they are translated from one language to another and from that to yet another language.
Knowing all this, how can ANY religion be viewed as anything BUT the invention of men? I know this may not be what you want to hear, and I doubt I'll do much harm to your faith; faith is remarkably impervious to reason.

People have thought the end was coming for many many years. I suppose if it makes you feel more assured of your place in heaven to be scared of the worlds end, then go ahead.
It doesnt sound like you have much faith in your own God. If he would let good, honest, hardworking people suffer with the devil then what is the point of worshipping a God who would let that happen.
That's why I am glad I live here in America, I know that the American people would never allow their fellow Americans to be killed for not receiving a microchip, and I also know that if the day should come that they do allow it, I don't wanna be alive anyway.
Why does everyone seem to beleive that God always wants us to be afraid of him all the time. I BELEIVE HE IS A SUPERIOR BEING. Scare tactics are a human trait and not a Godly one!
I am sorry you and so many others spend so much of your time in fear of the same God who loves you and created you. Do you only worship because you are afraid? ....Or is it because you are truly filled with love and appreciate the gifts you have been given by your maker? I would like to think his worshippers have faith enough to know God will take care of them and those who are full of love. That is the God I worship.

You know, if you truly believe the end is near, than so be it! But, it is "Thy will be done!" not, "My wll be done!" What will be, will be! Just live your life as God would have you live it, and when He decides the end is near, we will all face that day together! No need to panic! Your feeling panicky about doomsday approaching won't make any difference as to when it will actually take place. Enjoy your life, and live without fear of what is to come. If you truly trust in the Lord, you leave your life up to whatever plan He has for you. It is not up to you to dictate what will or will not be. You're wasting what enjoyment you will have in your life by worrying about something not in your domain to decide. Live the best life that you can and the rest is up to Him! It's called having faith, be it blind or otherwise, but live to the fullest because if it were not to happen till 1000 years from now, what have you accomplished then? Trust the Lord child! No more need be done!

nicely if those issues get you questioning approximately eternity, then i assume no harm executed, considering is an substantial difficulty. yet extremely, the "end cases" are no longer approximately OUR destiny on the instant in the twenty first Century. The Bible says the earth grew to become into typical perpetually. (verses below). there grew to become into in spite of the undeniable fact that, an drawing close end upon the early church, and this grew to become into the top of the AGE they have been residing in. that's why there's a lot imminence in New testomony letters (the final hour, approximately to return, very quickly, won't postpone, on the door, quickly, quickly, close to, presently, to hand, etc). those time texts have been stimulated by using the Holy Spirit of actuality! the hardship is, we examine the NT letters as though they're addressed to us! We thoroughly forget approximately approximately and disrespect how the direct objective audience of those letters could have understood those imminency statements 20 centuries in the past! the top of the age got here on the appointed time, in advert 70, on the destruction of the previous 'heavens & earth' (previous Covenant Temple gadget of righteousness). Jesus' appearing grew to become into appropriate to the destruction of Jerusalem, end of that age, and initiating of the recent Covenant age latest aside from the Temple. quite, we've had many wars, many atrocities, many persecutions, many horrors in the historic past of our international, and there is not any reason to think of the twenty first Century is any worse. in actuality, we are able to make it greater valuable because of using determining the certainty that we are no longer residing in the ''final days'' on the grounds that they pertained to Jesus' technology. that's time that leaders, instructors and preachers see this actuality and carry forth it from the mountain tops. Preterism (previous success) is the view of the top cases that Jesus and New testomony authors taught, and we've ignored it because of the fact we theory the "time of the top'' grew to become into the ''end of time.'' We additionally envisioned a actual new planet, and a flesh and blood Jesus sitting on a tangible throne, yet Jesus' Kingdom is non secular, no longer organic. Jesus' Kingdom is already right here and there is not any end to it! those style of declare a never-ending planet, you and your mom might desire to verify those! Genesis 8:21-22, Psalms seventy 8:sixty 9, 89:36-37, ninety 3:a million, ninety six:10, 104:5, 119:ninety, 148:4-6, Isaiah 40 5:17, Eccl. a million:4, Ephesians 3:21

I believe it! But I have a slightly different view on how the sh*t will hit the fan when the end comes. But I think you are right that the mark of the beast shall not be a simple digit or mark, but rather a technology that must be affixed to your person at all times, in order for you to function in society as we will come to know it.

I'm not a believer in the bible. It's a book of short stories. But yes, I do believe the end is near, but life will be reborn.

First off, Yes, I believe we are in the end times
Secondly, simply being "good" or "bad" doesn't qualify God's reservation or release of his wrath.
An actual confirmation or denial of his words and Christs teachings.
Thirdly, Quit being a sensationalist, and clean your own house before warning anybody else.

I'm sick of this. The book doesn't give a date, so until that day comes, live life like normal. Which should mean a life of unselfishness, kindness, and truth. If that is the case for you, no worries eh?
