Doomie Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I just read in the newspaper that there really are some uberchristians who think the end of the world is near. They will go to heaven, jesus will rise again, and the E.U. is going to be a tirranny, the resuurection of the roman empire. This is some of the crazy stuff they said.... discuss it here.

Samuel Dravis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 They say that every time they get the chance. I don't think you should waste too much time on them. People have been proclaiming the end of the world for a long time, and it hasn't been true yet. They just extend the dates of their doom predictions when the previous are invalidated. Which newspaper is that? World Weekly News, or some other fiction magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 No, the Volkskrant, wich is just like any other good newspaper. It didn't say the end was near, it said people said the end was near. And if i wanted a serious discussion over this, i'd have posted in the senate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Keralys Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yeah, even most Christians - even most fundamentalist Christians aren't nutty enough to think we know the date of the end of the world. The worst part is, the Bible itself directly states that "no man knows the hour of His coming" so.... yeah, you've got to take things like that and realize that there are always people saying it's the end of the world.

Writer Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Some people will freak out for a little, but then they'll cool their jets. I'm a believer myself and I don't kid myself with thoughts of knowing when this is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that as strange as believing in a big invisible man? I'm not a religious person, frankly I don't care much for it. But I couldn't give a rats ass if the end was near. I've lived an okay life, that's all ya gotta worry about, is living life to the fullest, and being content that you had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 because its not what the scripture teaches. well, I'm kinda rusty on my bible studies, but did it say heaven was a big place in the sky? I just remember them saying it was in the kingdom of god, so it could be on saturn, could be on eart, could be on some unknown planet. Doesn't have to be stated exactly.

Captain Wilson Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 preaty much same for me pie. stupid thing, no offence to christianty, anyone read the book of revaltions? when i see a huge dragon, a beast with 7 heads,a hearld to beast that also has 7 heads, get the mark of satan on my hand or head and see a huge army being lead against heaven.

B. yes to keep more NJO bashers happy lucas books is commissioning Tim Zahn to write a 20 book extravaganza of Thrawn related titles...seeing that he is the only character anyone seems to like in the EU..... book 1 is about his first kiss, book 2 about when he started noticing fuzzy bits on his blue skin(puberty), book 3 about the time when he wore rose coloured glasses and didnt notice a difference....... *kicks zahn in the nuts, burns all his Thrawn books* w regards to the topic, I thinks it silly to associate their idiocy with their religious beliefs solely ...these ppl were *stupid* to start with... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Being a preacher of the Gospel, I think I can nail this one for what it's worth......hmm... As someone already stated above, The Holy Bible itself says that No man knows when Jesus is going to come. That's why Jesus says "I come as a Thief in the Night" - Revelation 16:15. Do I personally believe that the end of the world is neigh? I frankly do not know. I do know it must be getting close to the rapture, because some of the things that Revelations reveals have already come to pass. I, however, do not see it as "the end of the world." I see it as a new beginning, when Christ shall have his weedless garden, and his perfect kingdom. Those who know him will be there, and the skeptics will be nowhere in sight. Man, I could go on all day, but I know there are several out there who'll hate me if I do. I love all of you guys though, really! EDIT- If you guys want more information on Revelations, This Guy is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean one of those people who stands in the street shouting "Arrrmegedon is apon us, Reeepent and you will be spared, Praiissee the Lor-da" Saw one the other day, mad people. People have been predicting the end of the world for centurys, remember the fuss on the run up to yr 2K? interestingly the Aztec calendar predicts the world will end in the solstice of 2012 (not sure if it is the summer or winter one) so have a good 7 and a bit years! Oh and on google: Results 1 - 10 of about 15,500,000 for end of the world. so I would guess it is the end of the word almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Originally posted by |GG|Crow_Nest Hey next week theres gonna be an alien invasion. Well you would get good odds on that at the bookies, so if you know it to be true... mind you if there is going to be an alien invasion, you probably won't be needing the money. Are they going to be nice friendly aliens or will there be lots of teeth and tenticals involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
