Many people claim that God is coming for the world again pretty soon. We are all waiting to see that day. But I must say I disgree with the bible in many ways. Me, myself, have found the bible to be pretty faulty, so I do not put much interest in the bible. Nevertheless, a lot of what the bible says is true.

According to what I got to understand, God comes for the world everyday without us realizing it. Once you die, there you go ( Your judgement day has arrived). You either was sent to hell or to heaven with the Lord. You are no longer a part of the world.

So, bear in mind God comes for the world everyday. Your time is limited and immient to expire, but only God knows your date.

May I hear your thoughts?

You're exactly right. When you die, your judgement day has arrived. This means that people should be concentrating on how their souls are with God right now, and quit trying to beat the system by trying to calculate and measure when Jesus will return. It's ridiculous and against God. Even scripture tells us that no one knows the hour but the Father.

When they talk about God returning for the world, they are actually refurring to the end times when Jesus will return. Of course God himself lives on the earth inside of those hearts who have excepted him, but Jesus has not returned yet. And even though no one knows the day OR the hour of Christs return, many people beleive it will be soon. todays sociaty shows many of the signs of the end times, and whether we are approaching the last chapters of the earth or not, i really dont know. Check out this website real quick, even if you only skim through it, i was as a matter of fact JUST on it. I just finnished reading the article titled Countdown to Armageddon. Go to www.countdown.org and skim through some things. You'll be amazed as to what you find!!! oh and yes i beleive that only God knows when you will take your last breath! Hope this helps!!!

hope springs eternal and I'm right in the middle of selling the brooklyn bridge again .Tell your theory to all the bereaved and who lost their lives in vain for that very concept . Is the illusion enough? why not try to change the real world in real ways without the backsliding false hope to ease the conscience. Granted lies do make life more endurable but that's precisely why life is cheapened to so many that believe in the justice of the of the dead . do i strike a note of sense or it just me ?

His son has already returned to the earth. So, it's just a matter of time for him to harvest the crop he tilled. He has been living on the earth for quite a few years already.
Anyway, it is him who people must believe. As the bible warns, the people are going to have to learn to become one with him. They have yet to do so.

Your question assumes God left the world, however if God is all things then God never left, meaning there is no requirement for God to return.

More preaching. Ugh.

I do not believe your god exists. Period. You have no evidence whatsoever for its existence, nor for the validity of your claims.

Never, jesus said that this would come to pass before his apostles passed from the earth, since then hundreds and hundreds have predicted this all of them were wrong and so was jesus. Since he was an apocolyptic jew it makes sense though.

Have you never given any thought to the fact that man invented your God and man wrote the books describing the way they wanted him to be believed?

God is already in this world and he's living in the imagination of the believers.

You said "So, bear in mind God comes for the world everyday. Your time is limited and immient to expire, but only God knows your date". How do you know that? Do you have a hotline to God? Do you have His telephone number? Do you have His e-mail address? Does He pop His head out of the clouds and tell you things? God is up there. We are down here. You can't investigate Him Sherlock Holmes style. If we are going to know something about Him it's because He chooses to reveal himself to you and not the other way around. So where's your revelation? Don't tell me the Bible because you've already said you don't accept all the bible which implies that you think some of it is wrong. But can God be wrong? NO! Therefore the bible can't be a revelation from God, which brings us back to the original question.........where's your revelation from God? Do you accept the Koran or the Bagavegeda or the Buddhist bible? If any of those are from God they must be completely true. Don't tell me you accept part of them because if some of it is wrong then it can't be from God. God can't be wrong. Don't tell me you accept some from each Holy Book because all those books diametrically contradict each other. Is God schizophrenic? Does He tell one group of people that he has these attributes and tell another group of people that he has diametrically opposite attributes? Christianity says there is one God, 3 persons in the Godhead. Islam says there is one God, one person. Hinduism says there is 330 million Gods. Buddhism says there is some impersonal force up there. The rest of the religions all contradict each other too. Logic says they can't all be true. They can all be false but no 2 of them can both be true since they all contradict each other. We can't just throw the law of non-contradiction out the window. Anyhow, how would you decide which parts of each book were true and which were not. You would need somebody to come from the other side to tell you which parts were true and which weren't. If you pick what you like from each Holy Book, then you are just creating your own religion and really have no idea whether God supports what you say. If you say that you are just reasoning this out in your own mind, my question would be based upon what? Surely if I were to say that in a galaxy that we can barely see on our telescopes 10 billion light years from here, there are little green men who eat strawberry shortcake all day long and play bingo and you asked me how I know that and I just said that I reasoned it out in my mind........surely you'd say that reason won't tell anything about something that I have no facts about. When you say
"So, bear in mind God comes for the world everyday. Your time is limited and immient to expire, but only God knows your date", that is a statement about God. When somebody starts talking about God, the first question I want to ask is "where are you getting your facts"? You're making statements about a being that most of the people in the world say they have never seen even if they do believe in Him. Reason will not tell you anything about Him. What you need is not reason but revelation, which, again, brings us back to the original question.........where are you getting your revelation?
I have definite beliefs about God. My revelation is the bible. I don't believe just part of it. I believe it all. Why do I believe the bible is the revelation from God? Because the bible has the signature of God in many ways. One of those ways is Bible prophecy. The old testament has 333 prophecies about the first coming of Jesus Christ and 456 specific details about his life(all written between 400 and 2200 years before he was born). The 4 gospels in the new testament(Mathew, Mark, Luke & John) tell the story of Jesus. Had those 4 gospel writers chosen to not write their gospels, we could still have re-created the whole life of Christ just from the old testament(all written before he was born). In fact, that is how the christians preached the gospel in the first 20-30 years after the death of Christ. They preached it from the old testament because the new testament was in the process of being written. The story of Christ is all there in the Old Testament including some details about His life that are not even mentioned in the New Testament. Man sees history like a person sees the Rose Parade sitting in the stands. The floats that have already gone by him are like the past. The floats in front of him are like the present. The floats still coming are like the future. These prophets in the old testament who wrote about Jesus Christ seemed to be able to see history the way you would see the Rose Parade from a helicopter. They seemed to be able to see the end from the beginning. That tells me that though they were writing these things down the info was not ultimately coming from them but from a higher source because man simply doesn't see history that way. Also, the bible has amazing knowledge about many scientific principals long before these principals were discovered. Seventeen times in the old testament the bible says that God is "stretching the heavens". For thousands of years bible scholar struggled with what that could possibly mean. Then in 1929 Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding. The bible told us that long ago.
No other religion or Holy Book has this kind of knowledge. All this tells me that these prophets in both the old and new testament were not nutcases but true prophets of God.
I'm not trying to be critical of you. I'm sure you're a very intelligent person. I'm just trying to get you to think. I don't see any logical basis for your religious views.
