Wow…okay, lemme first say as a Christian that hanging the threat of Hell over someone’s head isn’t a good conversion method.
If I was atheist, I’d be really angry more than anything. That’s why people think we’re arrogant, because people go around saying, “Hey! I’m going to Heaven…what’s that? You’re a mormom? Oh, well. That sucks.”
Secondly, the Bible needs to, in some places, be taken literally and in some, not. It can be a confusing maze of metaphors, parables and literal descriptions.
Thirdly, I gotta advertise for mah TV show here SUPERNATURAL!!!!!!!!!! Fridays at 8pm on the CW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world will not end because of earthquakes, tsunami, meteor strike, nuclear war, supernova, or any other natural or man made disaster. End will not happen on any arbitrary date like December 2012. The end of the universe has been designed into the laws of the universe by the creator. The contraction of the universe will commence the beginning of the end which will last for thousands and possibly millions of years. We will however be gone far before that time removed from the dying universe. To find out how all that will happen go to the nest page.

Armageddon the day of judgement is immanent. It is the day one dies. Judgement is based on suffering, caused or alleviated specifically in ones own life.

The great prophets/buddhas could see into the future, they could see future technology and weapons and had no clue what they were seeing.

Imagine living in the stone age and seeing today’s wars, what would you call it?

There is nothing but one however in oneness we are unable to exist on this dualistic plane. Truth is impersonal where as beliefs are personal and half truths. Your own personal beliefs whatever they may be will not get you to heaven only the ability to reconcile the heart with the mind will allow you to survive the coming end on 12 21 2012. This survival is completely up to you. The coming quantum leap will force you to either become one or start over. There is no hell life is perpetual our spirits cannot die but they can refusee to accept the gift of god. All are called but few are chosen. Can you drop your guilt at the door? I only hope that some will look beyond knowledge and beyond feeling into themselves and seek truth for truths sake because in the end thats all there is this materialistic age of kali will end and that is truth it takes more than the bible to free your soul. Unknown and not foretold live a life left unsold trade it all for fame and gold just to pay at the grave. A bit of a song I wrote and my inability to sell myself keeps me from fame and gold. Ascension is all thats worth seeking.

Hey guys just a though……since we already know what is going to happen you know first comes this than comes that. Why don’t we just do the opposite I mean are we really that dumb or are some people just smarter than us and are manipulating things a cretin way?
Or we could just you know do thing out of order just to piss god off, because he did his plan and yeah sure we don’t know the date but he gave us some clues of when it was coming, so all im saying is if you can avoid a traffic jam using GPS why wont you?

As long as mankind continues to live in a fantasy land,
I’m afraid there is not much hope. Heaven and Hell are
figments of imagination. Only man would be so delusional
as to place his very existence on old books and scrolls
that were written by superstitious , intelligence challenged
religious zealots. While mankind should be all about saving
mankind , instead , it’s all about preparing for the afterlife,
which there is absolutely no proof that it even exists.
Maybe we deserve to go extinct , like the dinosaurs.

Some of you sound like you’re about 18 and just took your first philosophy course, after which you are intent on using it to anger your parents who made you go to church.

The only fact we have is that we don’t know what’s going to happen. Why don’t we just wait and see what happens? I’ll bring a bottle of wine.

I remember hearing that you know you are worshipping a self-made god when he hates all the same people you do.
If marriage is a sacred instrument then why is it tied to financial institutions like credit cards, social security, medicare, etc?
Unless money is the real ‘sacred body’ that is being sought after anyways. ZING!

Let me tell you this. The Antichrist=REAL, Tribulation=REAL, Heaven=REAL, Hell=REAL, GOD=REAL, Jesus=REAL, Lucifer=REAL…etc, etc, it’s all REAL.

We are livng in Revalations right now!!! This stuff is going on now. No one should take from or add anything to the bible as Revelations states…If you believe, then believe!! If you don’t then don’t. You will eventually find out the truth (smirk) No one knows exactly when the rapture will take place…People will still be left on earth during the tribulation and God is going to reveal things to the world and some of the people left will come to the Lord…and make it in after the FINAL judgement, the others will continue to follow the False Profit and the Antichrist (the children of the devil) The Anti- christ is alive now. He is in hiding. When Revalations say the devil will be relaeased, it’s when false profet and Antichrist are revealed. He will not be revealed until a law is passed that will allow the mark to be placed on people. His words will be powerful, he can control everything even the weather, and thats why people will believe he is God…the government can control and steer hurricanes right now!! By electro waves in the water… Katrina was planned!! Thats why they didn’t do anything!! Have you all heard of the “Wildlands Project”?? Google it…you’ll see what I mean…They use hurricanes to map out the US for the Wildlands project which will be the takeover of part of the US and the Natural resources. It will give Europe power over the US and the Antichrist will unite Europe (The United states of Europe) and the world will be under one “Rule” = (Ruler) Jesus will return to earth because the people who follow the Antichrist are going to be obssessed with making themselves a “perfect world” destroying anything and anyone who stands in way of their what seems to be good but truly evil ways and plan to Overthrow the REAL God and see this Satantic man as “A God”, the world will be in Kahoots!!! The Antichrist will look Androgenous…and he will say I am man or woman…I “AM”…and all of his fake powers will be wonderous to his foolish followers BUT no match for God. And Satan will be angry and try to fight even though he knows he will lose. He wants to turn as many people as he can from God so that he can feel he’s won and takes all those people to hell with him. The Road to heaven is thin, and the road to hell is wide…More people will be going to hell in the end than people who will walk and reign with Christ FOREVER in heaven! God Bless

I agree with the idea that this world will end. We this time from the sign we see in the world famin,war,natural disasters,etc…the real time is coming but we do not the time.This is christian prespective which i agree.

Do you think the image of the world will continue by this bad situation,no if there is a vote for the end time above 80% of the people in the world would give their vote for the coming of the end.

Had a bad dream, woke up and did a search and found this site. In my dream, the world is destroyed by a giant wind that came suddenly. It was stronger than hurricanes and blew everything away up into the sky. I have found no other references to such a specific prophesy. When this happens is it the first sign of tribulation?
I can imagine that the ones who survive will be Weeping, gnashing teeth, rending garments, blood in the streets, etc.

Another interesting note to take in consideration is my last sentence in post # 121;…”and execute judgement upon the entire system of things on earth.”
Many scholars have concluded that this will be God’s judgement day, but its not. It is his judgement upon the wicked people on earth today only.
His judgement could not be on the countless individuals who have died through the centuries before us, because that would contradict his statement in Romans 6: 23a “For the wages sin pays is death,” in other words a person can be aquitted of his deeds during his lifetime when he dies. (he has already paid the ultimate price).
The judgement day will occur after Armageddon and during, or after the promised resurrection.

“The scarlet coloured wild beast stems from the seventh “HORN”,,,should read seventh “HEAD.” Sorry about the error!

Thank you for answering in such detail.

Ronald Fleming — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 03:40:30 +0000

I’m sorry JT, you have patiently waited for my response to your question and I have no excuse for not replying except for good old fashion procrastinating.
Ok, the final major prophecy that will take place soon (might even be this year) is the Scarlet Coloured Wild Beast will rise up in what has seemed like a dormat position for decades and it will expose and ultimately destroy Babylon the Great.
To be able to relate this prophecy in a matter of understanding is first, you must identify these symbolical titles that are used in the chapter of Revelation and second, watching world events is cruical if one knows the signs.
It is important to also describe the Wild Beast that spawns the Scarlet Coloured one. Revelation 13: 1 describes a wild beast ascending from the sea with ten horns and seven heads. The ten horns are symbolic, but the ten diadems upon them actually represent political powers or empires in Biblical history that have shared ruling power simultaneously with the dominant state, or world power at that time. Examples are Media and Persia and lately the United States of America and Great Britian. So the heads of that wild beast represent the 6 major world powers that have come and gone since the USA began settling from immigrants from Europe in the 18th century. Those major powers were Egypt, Asyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
So the wild beast, or the seventh head is identfied as the Anglo American world power, USA & England.
Even though the new world and its European ancestors had indifferences for almost a couple hundred years, it was not until WW I and Britian being near defeat did the USA settle their differences and heal the death stroke as in Revelation 13: 3.
Revelation 13: 11-13 goes on to describe yet another two horned wild beast that performs great signs and even makes fire come down out of the heavens to the earth. It is still referring to the Anglo-American world power, but in a more aggressive role on the world stage. The fire out of the heavens is in relation to the first atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan. The aggressive role is clearly evident of the wild beast nature of the US and Britian since the turn of the century, especially in Iraq.
It should be noted that the number 666 is only a symbolic number which represents man who falls below the number 7 of God’s completeness. Triple 6 is gross imperfection.
Prior to the final prophecy in which I will describe shortly, there have been many events that have occured since the turn of the 20th century and beyond that have already taken place, such as Satan and his Demons hurled to the vicinity of the earth (war in heaven)Revelation 12: 7-9, 12.The four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Revelation 6: 2…6: 4…6: 5b…6: 8a.

The seven bowls of God’s anger in which only one more is to be poured during the coming tribulation Revelation 16: 1. All are explained in the 16th chapter.
Ok, here comes the main event that will take place shortly. The scarlet coloured wild beast stems from the seventh horn and it is identified as the United Nations organization in New York City.
There is a verse that describes the UN in association with years that can be confirmed by reading a chronological history of the 20th century. That verse is Revelation 17: 8a
“THE WILD BEAST THAT YOU SAW WAS, (League of Nations formed in 1919 after WW I)
BUT IS NOT, (dismantled in 1939 beginning of WW II)
AND YET IS ABOUT TO ASCEND OUT OF THE ABYSS, (reformed as the United Nations 1946)
AND IT IS TO GO OFF INTO DESTRUCTION.” (Yet future, but will begin its conquest of babylon the Great during the beginning of the great tribulation), Matthew 24: 21.
Babylon the Great (harlot) represents all the entire world of false religion that is deceiving mankind today. (Antichrist(s).
Interesting to note also that Revelation 17: 11 exemplifies the UN as an 8th king, “hense”, the new secondary general of the UN was sworn in as the 8th secondary general. In other words the United Nations organization will develope world status power very soon.
What events that follow up soon that will trigger the coming tribulation will also motivate the UN to destroy all religion on earth, which of course will reach catastropic proportions, that may employ nuclear weapons Matthew 24: 22.
When that occurs then divine intervention will trigger the coming war of Armageddon and execute judgement upon the entire system of things on earth.

â€œâ€œFor around 6000 years now prophecies of the Bible have been fulfilled with 100% accuracy.â€ Michael, I was beginning to wonder if anyone out there ever carried an actual timeframe according to Biblical history. There are more people inclined to believe there are millions and billions of years, rather than meger thousands.
So I assume correctly you are familiar with one of the major last prophecies that is scheduled to take place very soon according to the book of Revelation.â€”

So… Can you please shed some light on this “major last prophecy that is about to take place” ?

By: Ronald Fleming

Ronald Fleming — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 15:39:14 +0000

You are very welcome Christian, peace and good fortune be with you also, but unfortunately with this system of things on earth today, that will be short-lived. Let me explain:

It is interesting to note that the Bible seems complicated in all its literal and symbolic signs, even a far fetched fantasy storybook to some, but to the trained obsever, it actually is very simple and completely accurate even to events of our present time today. To be able to grasp the significance of scriptures, there is one main focus point that must be initiated to the individual in order to understand the implications of the tribulation described in Matthew 24: 21, that will soon be released upon mankind.
According to Acts 17: 24 organized religion and churches throughout the world do not teach the correct answer, nor have they the knowledge to interpet warnings of God’s pending intervention into mankind’s affairs. Being personally involved in many churches I have found this varification in Acts 17: 24 to be true. Except for the odd anouncement by organized religous leaders concerning hypothetical events taking place on earth today (the turn of the century to the year 2000 was one) they still fail to comply to the Bible’s accurate account of our time period in relation to prophecy.
Because it is required to have knowledge of a chronological history of man of which must synchronize with the unchronological order of the Bible, (it would take more space to explain) so I’ll use mathematics as a reference point in Bible prophecy to pinpoint our times.
The focus of today had its beginnings in the year 607 B.C.E. If you recall, Biblical and secular history agree in that year when the Babylonian Empire destroyed Jerusalem, slaughtering millions of Jews and taking many captive was the last time the tribes of Judah would have their kingly representation as God’s earthly agents beginning with Saul (1 Sam. 9: 15-17) and the last Hezekiah (2 Kings 25: 1-26).
This was known as “The Appointed Times of the Nations, or Gentile Times” meaning under the law covenant the nation of Israel were no longer God’s chosen people and would be dominated and controlled by non-Jewish nations. The time period of fulfillment is detailed in Daniel 4: 10-17 as 7 times.
Many scholars who studied the chapter of Daniel had concluded that these 7 times were in reference to the 7 years that King Nebuchadnezzar spent suffering under the symptons of lycanthropy, but lexicographers show them to be Biblical times. A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament by Brown, Driver & Briggs, p. 1105 indicate a Biblical time according to the Jewish calendar to be 360 days. When representing them prophetically Numbers 14: 34 and Ezekiel 4: 6 when applying this formula expresses one day as a year.
Therefore 360 years times 7 equals 2,520 years. This formula also coincides perfectly with the 1,260 day reference in Revelation whereas 1,260 years plus 360 equals 2,620 years, omiting 100 years because there is no Zero century, “hense,” why the 20th century was referred to 1900, the 19th century referred to 1800, the 18th century as 1700 and so on.
Add 2,520 years to the year 607 using our present day calendar it brings us to the year 1914 C.E.
Remember Before Common Era (B.C.E.) times move downward in numbers, where Common Era (C.E.) times go up. Now, many people (including Christians) during those times were led to believe that 1914 indicated in scripture to be the end of the world and with the outbreak of WW I it definitely seemed like it. When the year 1914 was announced by a group of International Bible Students back in 1880 they were referring to the conclussion of the Appointed Times of the Nations and the beginning of the last days.
If those people were reading their Bibles accurately, they would have known that the prophecies spoken by Jesus Christ in the chapter of Matthew 24 had not been fulfilled prior to that year.
Because of ignorance, many who were expecting God to take them to heaven fell away from the church and the faith and teachings such as Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and athiestism became popular and continue during our present day.
Jesus clearly indicated in Matthew 24: 34 a generation who saw the prophecies fulfilling after 1914 would also live to witness the conclussion of this system of things. This would be some-what confusing to experts who evaluate a generation to consist of 70-80 years, which of course would be beyond the ending day. Theoritically the world (or syatem) should have ended in 1994.
The Bible compares our day to Noah’s day and a generation during his time was 120 years. If one was to calculate 1880 plus 120 years (1880 when the year 1914 was first announced) it would point to the year 2000. As you may recall there were many countless predictions of the world ending at this time even by church leaders themselves. Here again, if people would have paid close attention to Matthew 24: 37-39 they would see that “quote 39:” “that they took no note,” meaning the majority of the population of the earth would not be aware of the event. Before the year 2000, the entire world was on notice.
But Habakkuk 2: 3 gives further reference to a delay period of which is the time we are now living 2007!
Knowing a person could not live to be 127 years today, Jesus may have been referring to person’s living during 1914 and onward until the conclussion of the system which is very close. Only God himself knows that day, but take in to consideration God’s number of perfection is 7.

Indeed, consider this coincidence.. I do not. After my first post and after reading your answer, I opened the Bible and read a random area, and the YHWH was reffered to.

Thank you for the clarificiations Ronald, peace be with you.

Christian, the only Bible that I have in my collection of over 22 copies is the Hebrew Text (The Jerusalem Bible) translated into english from a previous copy of the scriptures from the original scrolls in the 19th century. Even though it uses the Tetragrammaton four vowels of God’s name (YHWH) it uses only a footnote (*) indication of reference to the name used by the Nation of Israel during their covenant reign as Yahweh. Most other english translations used the titlement name as LORD (in capital letters), or in the case where God’s name is amplified. Other translations use different variations to indicate God as the most high.
Of course different language translations use God in their text from their original translations.
However, if you have a King James Version, the name Jehovah occurs 4 times, once in Exodus 6: 3 Psalm 83:18 Isaiah 12: 2 and once again at Isaiah 26: 4.
I have heard that the brand new version of the King James Bible has removed the divine name altogether, but I have not obtained a copy to varify whether this is true or not.

By: Christian

Christian — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 20:58:08 +0000

Okay, I did do some reasearch on the name YHWH and got the general idea that you posted. I have a NIV and a King James Version.

I do recall in Revelation 22:18 that it says that. Could you please post, or email me the scripture where it says God’s name as Jehovah or YHWH please, I need to know.

By: Ronald Fleming

Ronald Fleming — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 17:52:13 +0000

I guess it would make a difference on what translation of Bible you have Christian. You see, the original Hebrew text contained God’s name 6828 times but it was disclosed as the letters YHWH which was referred as the tetragrammaton. God’s personal name was handed down to Moses on Mt Sinai approximately the same time the Nation of Israel was handed down the Ten Commandments and of course you should know that the Ten Commandments were a part of the covenant arrangement the Israelites had with God in order to fulfill the titlement of God’s chosen people of which consisted of over 600 individual laws known as the Mosaic Law. It was reserved for the Nation of Israel only.
The YHWH was refrerred in Hebrew as Yahweh in name form. Unfortunately the exact pronunciation of the name was not preserved when the Bible was translated into Aramaic and the Greek language. The sacred name, except for a few fragments copied into the “Greek Septuagint” from the Hebrew texts was substituted for the title “Lord, Adonai, God, Almighty God, etc.
This was also around the time the Nation of Israel broke the covenant for the last time and no longer retained God’s favour.
The name of God was removed from all translations when it was thought to be a superstition to pronounce his name without varification of its authenticity.
However, it was not until 1535 when William Tysdale copied the Bible into english using the Latin Vulgate as reference and smuggled copies of the Hebrew text, which contain God’s name. The Hebrew name Yahweh was pronounced Jehovah in english. Even though Mr Tysdale’s copy was not completely accurate as he was translating the scriptures into english during the time of the Catholic Inquisition of which he was executed by the church for doing so.
But the King James Version translated into english in 1611 restored the divine name of God as Jehovah 4 times in its copies.
Following copies of the holy scriptures “The Living Bible, King James, New World Translation” (England copy) all restored the name as Jehovah in various locations that required individual identification. Only “The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures” restored the name completely throughout.
The important aspect of Bible translation requires skilled copiers and its equally important that it is translated accurately. As you may recall in Revelation 22: 18, 19 there are serious consequences for adding or removing any meaningful words from the original copies. There will also be repercussions from ones who are in possession of fraudulent copies of God’s word.
Example: suppose you had a friend who stole goods from another person and used your residence to store the goods and the law found you in possession. It would make no difference whether you committed the crime or not. You will be guilty.
When the day of Jehovah comes, you and everyone else who has a fraudulent copy would be guilty of ostracism against his holy name. Best to obtain an accurate copy and begin studying!

Christian — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 05:08:33 +0000

Ronald Fleming, I have read all your posts and I have observed your knowledge clearly. However, one thing that makes me uncertain is why you resort to calling God Yahweh. God is unique, why would God need a name? You need a name when you need to differentiate between two things, and because there is only one and true God, he does not need a name. The God of Abraham like it is said in the Bible. Please, if I am mistaken guide me to where it says in the Bible so I can correct myself, thank you.

Ronald Fleming — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:42:39 +0000

Thank you Thamsanga, your comment was most inspiring. I have been studying the Bible for over 45 plus years and never succeeded in interpeting any meaning of it until I began understanding the chronological history of mankind. Because history coincides so much with the Bible, relating factual events during my lifetime of 50 plus years on this planet began to make sense during the early 80′s and now as we progress in the 21rst century, it has become more clearer.
I have studied religion through personal experience (involvement), but I was born with an inquisitive drive for truth rather than hearsay and that got me into deep trouble with church leaders. I could never understand why their teachings were sometimes so contradictary with scriptures that I would consistantly strive for answers, but to no avail.
I also learned that God had a name and wondered why people never used it, when everyone else in reference was used accordingly.
I’m also aware of people who are habitual arguers and realize that even God himself discourages authentic Christians not to waste time speaking sacred words to ones who have no respect for his authority.
But, even I have seen people use stupid lame comments at times only to realize after they have done reasonable research, have found a margine of truth disclosing the error of their ways.
I have found Jehovah’s Witnesses very knowledgable in scriptural matters, infact they have shown me more detailed information that saved possibly many more years of study. They believe I am on the right track and have been encouraging me to understand how important Hebrews 10: 24, 25 is when searching for scriptural facts. Even though I have attended several meetings, gone to assemby’s and large conventions, I do have issues that are not presentable with the Elders, but I do believe they are the religion spoken of in Ephesians 4: 4-6 and many verses in different chapters do seem to point their way.
I assume that when the tribulation starts my quest for truth will be answered in full, but the consequences of my actions and lack of works will also be my demise, as I’m understanding lately that not being baptised is equivelant to the ark door being shut.
Along with the study of history and through use of mathematics its very clear that we are indeed in the last days of this system of things (more appropriately, seconds). I also realise that one must pick up his own torture stake (not cross) and not to be part of the world, just as Christ commanded. I know I’m not going to heaven, yet I know I’m not bound for hell either. I quit celebrating Xmas 35 years ago seeing how phoney it is and learned that Christ’s death is the one significance event that’s more important than his birth.
Guess things aren’t all hopeless yet huh? Thanks for your comment, may Jehovah bless your efforts.

Ronald Fleming –

Hi, I am a Jehovah’s Witness from Johannesburg, South Africa and would like to commend your stand regarding the truth borne in the bible. I have been a JW for a little more than ten years now and have been preaching since I was a kid. I have learnt that there are people who are genuine in their confusion and seek the truth and there are those that are just wasting your time and seek only to argue with you. The latter, one can only ignore cos they will in fact waste your time and no matter how good your reasoning is they will disagree. Forget about these people and focus your energy on people like Jose (post #71).

I am very impressed with your knowledge of the bible and the way you can explain it to others, you are one of a few people I know who are not a Jehovah’s Witness who understand bible prophecies accurately.

Did you learn all that from personal study?

So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,spoken of through the prophet Danielâ€”let the reader understandâ€” then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until nowâ€”and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or, ‘There he is! do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the electâ€”if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time

Something to consider while reading through all this.

It is a fact: no one knows when the earth will end. It is a fact: more people have been killed in the name of religion than anything else. It is a fact we will all die one day. It is a fact we dont know for sure what will happen to us after we die. It is a fact the rest is just a lot of theory, speculation and debate (apart from taxes – another fact of life).. and of course there is the element of ‘faith’.

The truth hurts. The world is full of good and evil. On that somber note enjoy every living moment.

Could I assume correctly JT that you are not familiar with this last major prophecy regardless of the many signs and events taking place?

“â€œFor around 6000 years now prophecies of the Bible have been fulfilled with 100% accuracy.â€ Michael, I was beginning to wonder if anyone out there ever carried an actual timeframe according to Biblical history. There are more people inclined to believe there are millions and billions of years, rather than meger thousands.
So I assume correctly you are familiar with one of the major last prophecies that is scheduled to take place very soon according to the book of Revelation.”

Do tell.

No “Born Against Christian,” its not the mindset of people like me who are the root of what is wrong with this world, “no, far from it,” its ones who do not pay close enough attention to detail and accuracy who try and deceive others through their own ignorance. One doesn’t have to relate far in order to set an example. There is only one “M” in my name.
You could have saved yourself much typing work and research in your post # 104 if you were to understand the books of the old testament were during a period in history referred to the “Before Common Era” (BCE)which was before the coming of the Messiah. (Jesus Christ)
The Nation of Israel was subjected to some very harsh laws under the Ten Commandments brought down by Moses on Mt. Sinai. At that time the Nation of Israel drew up a covenant with their God Yahweh, which consisted of 600 detailed laws known as the Mosaic Law in which they were to follow in order to accept the titlement of God’s chosen people. As you could see, disobeying those laws out of the covenant were very harsh.
Gentiles and all non Jews were not a part of that covenant arrangement.
May I suggest sir, you pay more attention to what you are reading before criticizing on your own accord.
May I also suggest you obtain a more updated and detailed Bible that has been corrected properly so you can interpet what you are ridiculing with a more accurate understanding.
Your following post # 105 is just too easy. If you evaluate your “GOD IS DEAD” theory from those examples, just continue the way you are, you don’t have a hope in hell to survive Armageddon!
You’ll find out that fact very soon.

Gospel Contradictions:

1) How many generations were there between Abraham to David? Matthew 1:17 lists fourteen generations. Matthew 1:2 lists thirteen generations.

2) Is Paul lying? In Acts 20:35 Paul told people “to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Since Jesus never made such a biblical statement, isnâ€™t Paul guilty of deception?

3) When did the leper become not a leper? (Matthew 8:13 & 8:14) Jesus healed the leper before visiting the house. (Mark 1:29-30 & 1:40-42) Jesus healed the leper after visiting Simon Peterâ€™s house.

Who made the request? (Matthew 20:20-21) Their mother requested that James and John, Zebedeeâ€™s children, should sit beside Jesus in his Kingdom. (Mark 10:35-37) James and John, Zebedeeâ€™s children, requested that they should sit beside Jesus in his Kingdom.

9) What animals were brought to Jesus? (Matthew 21:2-7) two of the disciples brought Jesus an ass and a colt from the village of Bethphage. (Mark 11:2-7) They brought him only a colt.

10) When did the fig tree hear of its doom? (Matthew 21:17-19) Jesus cursed the fig tree after purging the temple. (Mark 11:14-15 & 20) He cursed it before the purging.

13) Who was the father of Joseph? Matthew 1:16 The father of Joseph was Jacob. Luke 3 :23 The father of Joseph was Heli. Christians shall try to LIE and tell you that one is the heritage of Mary and the other Joseph. This is utter bullshit, the Hebrew and Greek cultures NEVER regarded the bloodline of the mother. They were patriarchal societies which only concerned themselves with paternal lineage.

14) How many generations were there from the Babylon captivity to Christ? Matthew 1:17 Fourteen generations, Matthew 1:12-16 Thirteen generations.

15) Matthew 2:15, 19 & 21-23 The infant Christ was taken into Egypt. Luke 2:22 & 39 The infant Christ was NOT taken to Egypt.

16) Matthew 5:1-2 Christ preached his first sermon on the mount. Luke 6:17 & 20 Christ preached his first sermon in the plain.

Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works.” 1 Peter 2:12 “Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that … they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” This contradicts: Matthew 6:1-4 “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of themâ€¦that thine alms may be in secret.” Matthew 23:3-5 “Do not ye after their [Pharisees'] works … all their works they do for to be seen of men.”

25) The two thieves reviled Christ. (Matthew 27:44 & Mark 15:32) Only one of the thieves reviled Christ. Luke 23:39-40.

26) In 1 Corinthians 1:17 (“For Christ sent me [Paul] not to baptize but to preach the gospel”) Paul said Jesus was wrong when he said in Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing themâ€¦” Clearly one of these people is wrong, either way, itâ€™s a contradiction.

34) Where did Christ ascend from? From Mount Olivet. Acts 1:9-12 From Bethany. Luke 24:50-51

35) Can all sins be forgiven? (Acts 13:39) All sins can be forgiven. Great, Iâ€™m happy to know God is so merciful, but wait (Mark 3:29) Cursing or blaspheming the Holy Spirit is unforgivable.

GOD IS DEAD!!

To Mr. Flemming – people of your mindset are at the root of what is wrong with the world. Since you claim to have so much faith in the bible and the lies it teaches, i ask you sir, do you follow all that it teaches.

Murder : They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

Rape:If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)

Slavery:However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

Human Sacrifice:”Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. “The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him.” (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

Intolerance:Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7

I beg of you to wake up….stop the lies…hate…
I will at any time put facts up against faith

“For around 6000 years now prophecies of the Bible have been fulfilled with 100% accuracy.” Michael, I was beginning to wonder if anyone out there ever carried an actual timeframe according to Biblical history. There are more people inclined to believe there are millions and billions of years, rather than meger thousands.
So I assume correctly you are familiar with one of the major last prophecies that is scheduled to take place very soon according to the book of Revelation.

What REALLY happens:

If nothing untoward HITS planet earth first, the sun will continue through it’s life span and, upon becoming a red giant, ingulf most of the inner planets (including earth) in the process.

I predict this will happen in about 5 billion years…….

The End.

Nostra D, your comment # 96 shows you are a considerate and caring person and sincerely in your heart you would welcome change on earth as opposed to its current state and its a normal impulse of humans to long for peace and harmony among the different cultures that make up the human family.
I can reassure you, that is also God’s promise to correct matters in his own due time. The problem with this correction which will take place very soon, is its not going be on man’s terms.
Unfortunately, God will remove the elements that are preventing peace on earth and uphold the dreams of many who are fed-up with man and his suppressive attitude.
Two of those main elements are “governments and religion.” In order to fulfill that promise in accordance to his purpose, all supporters of governments and all members of religions opposed or ignorant of his purpose will also be removed.
It is clearly brought out in Revelation 18: 4 God, through his angel gives a stern warning to get out of those religions. The entire chapter 18 deals exclusively with Babylon the Great, the name given to all religions that are false in content and opposed to God’s strict standards.
Also its apparent that many individuals alive on this earth today do not wish to give up their selfish intentions and they have no will to change their personality which is needed in order for peace to become a reality. Remember, God reads hearts and treacherous hearts is what is deceiving mankind these days.
Religion has deceived many by introducing man-made doctrines that are not part of the holy scriptures. One in particular that you addressed in your comment was pertaining to the human soul.
Man was created a living soul, he does not possess one and the results of death on a soul is clearly evident in Ezekiel 18: 4 and again in Ezekiel 18: 20 that the soul that is sinning, it itself will die.
It is commendable to have knowledge concerning God’s word, but its equally important to have accurate knowledge of truth of correct interpetation.
Its not a difficult effort, if you are willing to ask God in a personal prayer to direct your attention to the one and only faith mentioned in the Bible. Ephesians 4: 4-6
You already have a good heart condition, you just need to sincerely search for him to guide your steps.

Reply to Omninegro,
We are what we are because of the choice made in the garden of Eden by our ancestors. Their disobediance (sin) separated them (and us) from God. However He (God) loves you (and me) so much that He has made a way for us to be reconciled to Him. Jesus said: I am The way, The Truth, and, The Life…No one comes to The Father except through Me. Regardless of what caused our “fallen state” we are all guilty of sin and worthy of death, but, Jesus died in your (and my) place. It is now our choice to accept (or deny) the free gift of Eternal life that He offers everyone.

Ronald,

Wouldn’t be surprised, in the Hopi prophecy material this is the fourth world corralating to the Bible, the first was the Flood, the second was Sodom and Gomorrah, the third was Babylon.

All the prophecies tie together.

They just don’t end up the way most people think.
