My cousin wanted to talk with me about religion, and it brought on a long conversation.
JEEZUZKRYSTE:
http://www.the-end.com/prophesied_end_time_ronald_weinland.pdfJEEZUZKRYSTE: read that... it's very long
spike91784: I will tomorrow.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: Ok
spike91784: I' going to research it.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: My good friend Mark was telling me about the world ending in 2012, but those books say 2008.
spike91784: no one knows when it will happen.
spike91784: No one,
spike91784: So any guess is a wrong one.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: Ronald Weinland says that 2008 will mark the beginning of the final events that will thrust the world into the great tribulation (last three and one-half years of the end-time), which will usher in World War III, the death of billions, and on the last day of this great tribulation, the return of Jesus Christ.
spike91784: Okay. What if that is true?
spike91784: God's time is completely different than our.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: 2008-God's Final Witness reveals the Seven Thunders of the Book of Revelation, which the apostle John was not allowed to record! It also gives more specific end-time prophecies that will sharply increase during the next year and one-half when the final tribulation of this world strikes. That destructive power will quickly cripple world governments and destroy the world economy over a six-month period. The year 2008 is prophesied as pivotal for the end-time.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: this is what I'm wondering about
JEEZUZKRYSTE: how did he get this info, if John was unable to?
spike91784: Because it's lies.
spike91784: There will always be false witnesses and prophets. That is what you have to careful about.
spike91784: There will be numerous anti-christs before the real one.
spike91784: God's word is the Bible.
spike91784: If God withheld information from us in that book than he is a liar.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: I haven't fully read the bible, nor do I have time to. Well, I may have the time, but I don't have the interest.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: I think people do this because they truly believe that they are prophets.
spike91784: that is true.
spike91784: And some of it is The devil's work.
spike91784: Devil has power, too you know.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: I know this, but it's either people who truly think they are, or people who want to scare others.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: In this case, I got a little frightened
spike91784: It's a bit of both.
spike91784: Why do you think there are so many killers or scarey movies?
spike91784: Because it's a power thing.
spike91784: If you can make people scared you hold power over them through their fears. they're giving in to what they know is real and they lose.
JEEZUZKRYSTE:
http://www.fstdt.com/fundies/top100.aspx?archive=1spike91784: See. This is why you should read the Bible.
spike91784: Because if you're going to form opinions of bits and pieces of things you've read online here and there, it's be good to back them up with truth,
spike91784: I don't read my Bible very often, but I d know what I've read.
spike91784: I do know that I am a Christian.
spike91784: And these days everyone has warped it into being something more convenient for their lifestyles.
spike91784: There are so many different branches of Christianity.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: I don't really pay much attention to it.
spike91784: Maybe you should.
spike91784: I don't want to force you into being something specific. That's something you have to find on your own.
spike91784: I've coe to find that Southern baptist is just not for me
spike91784: Sorry nana.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: heh
spike91784: I believe the Bible is God breathed and I believe all that is in it. There are different ways to interpret the Bible.
spike91784: Christians today make it impossible for nonbeliever to want to believe in God because they're so judgemental and whatnot.
spike91784: Everyone is a sinner. Sin is all the same. Just because you're doing something wrong doesn't damn you to hell.
spike91784: God knows your heart and that's what it all comes down to.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: Well, many Christians believe that one sin will damn you to hell.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: Religion brings worry.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: which is the exact opposite of it's purpose
JEEZUZKRYSTE: religion is for self control
spike91784: Religion does not bring worry.
spike91784: It takes it away.
spike91784: God is already ahead of you.
spike91784: It's in God's hands.
JEEZUZKRYSTE: Religion brings chaos, one believes their's is better than yours... and things get started.
spike91784: Ok.
spike91784: This is my argument for that.
spike91784: If you have a religion you have to fully believ in it.
spike91784: Because if you don't then what is the point to even believe in it. It's then just a lie.
