For people not familiar with the US tax system, a "trust fund" is a popular way to evade the estate (or inheritance) tax.

Haha!!!! GREAT POINT!
I personally don't think that it'll happen in any of our lifetimes....so I plan ahead for the future.
But I mean, in reality, there aren't any guarantees for any of us, right?
If those people want to transfer those funds into my account, I'd gladly take them for you.

Because they're following the Bible's instructions to be ready, but are also keenly aware that the Bible states that no one knows -when- it will happen. Even whether or not it will happen in their lifetimes.
So, like any rational person, they're going to be setting something up in case their beliefs turn out to be wrong.
Actually seems pretty open minded to me.

They're not showing much confidence in that assertion if they set up a trust fund or write a will, that's for sure.

I think because it says in the bible that no one will really know and that those who think they know who have studied the doctrine of numerology also know that it says no one will truly know the hour etc...
So basically people are pretty sure, but not completely sure.
I'm not sure nor have a studied the doctrine of numerology but in due time..... I will and then maybe I will see what they mean

We don't. The bible says not to store up treasure where moth or rust can destroy (or by extension, in banks where the stock market can collapse and your savings evaporate overnight).

All talk, no action.
But then, that's pretty much christianity in general, isn't it?

I knew this question was you.
They know deep down that the bible is toilet paper.
