Are We Truly In The End Times?

[bosk1]

I think most people of faith (or lack thereof) acknowledge the world is going to end.

Are you trying to squash the life out of my little one liner?

  Sorry.

I will make a prediction! End times will occur within 10 years or the next 25 trillion. Just my opinion, though.

So you acknowledge the world is going to end?

The Son will eventually destroy the Earth.

I agree.

[El JoNNo]

Oh you Christian rascal.

[Ryzee]

Our Sun will eventually destroy the Earth.

Once we get the word that that's about to happen I'm gonna send my son into space in a little capsule thingy so he can go be a badass on some other planet.

[Nighthawkwill7]

What a way to go indeed 

[Implode]

The best part that the Earth won't just melt into nothing immediately. It'll continue to orbit inside the sun for a bit.

[Super Dude]

That's horrifying if you ask me.

[Nighthawkwill7]

The sun is still 5,000,000,000 years from reaching it's Red Giant stage so we've got nothing to worry about. 

[Super Dude]

I thought that was just a guesstimate?

[emindead]

Those were the end of tiiiimes!!!
But then came the call!!!!

[Nighthawkwill7]

Well, The Sun's age can be determined through carbon dating of matter in our solar system

Here's an article that explains as much and also goes into the math of determining a star's life.

There's also tons of info regarding Heliophysics on this official NASA webpage, Makes for quite interesting reading!

[Perpetual Change]

I have no doubt that the world will end, I just don't see what's going on now that makes it so much more likely to be soon.

[Ben_Jamin]

Its gonna be a major change of our lifestyles, and way of thinking.

Its time to make a change

[El JoNNo]

Fuck me, I saw a May 21st judgement day sign here in Canada! UGH!!

[El JoNNo]

You know what I find funny? These people who claim to take the bible literally and have deduced the day of reckoning must have skipped over Mathew 24:36-40.

It feels like this should never happen under any circumstances, but:  I completely and without any reservation or exception agree with El Jonno about something he posted about the Bible.

[GuineaPig]

Uh oh.




THE END IS NIGH!

[bosk1]

[PlaysLikeMyung]

And for those of us who haven't read the bible?... what verse is that?

[Adami]

And for those of us who haven't read the bible?... what verse is that?

It basically says that only god knows when the end will come, and no man can know, nor angel and so forth.

Do you feel dirty as well?

I'll mark it down in my calendar, just as I cross out the 26 we had last year.........

*sigh*     Stuff like that really annoys me.  The Bible contains TONS of prophesies, yes.  But NONE of them have anything to do with what that author says they have to do with.  Just another attempt to prey on the gullible and ill informed.

Aren't the presence of prophecies problematic for Matthew 24:36-40? If the Bible were literally true, that is.

Do you mean the presence of purported modern-day attempts to come up with specific dates?  Yes, that is problematic because, as you pointed out, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."

I'm not entirely sure that's true. I've asked Hef multiple times when the world will end, he just keeps shrugging his shoulders.

[yeshaberto]

sweet, my mortgage payment is due on the 28th!

I'm with bosk, though...these endless silly predictions are annoying

No, I mean, why are their prophecies in the Bible at all, if only the God knows when the world will end? Don't prophecies pretend to know such things?

[Adami]

I think if god existed, and had a realllllly sick sense of humor (I'm talking SonataFanica sick), then it would destroy the world on Dec 20th 2012.

We know how all will end. Scientists tell us that the universe is expanding, and everything in it is growing farther and farther apart. As it does so, it grows colder and colder, and its energy is used up. Eventually all the stars will burn out and all matter will collapse into dead stars and black holes. There will be no light at all; there will be no heat; there will be no life; only the corpses of dead stars and galaxies, ever expanding into the endless darkness and the cold recesses of space; a universe in ruins. The entire universe marches irreversibly toward its grave. So not only is the life of each individual person doomed; the entire human race is doomed. The universe is plunging toward inevitable extinction—death is written throughout its structure. There is no escape. There is no hope.

In the *complete* context of Matt 24...it seems clear that while we would not know the *exact* day or hour (or even month or year) there would be world conditions that would give away when it was close.   Then AFTER vs 40 he says that his servants should stay on the watch and be ready....because everyone else would be carrying on with business as usual...ignoring the signs that the end was near.

Example.  We can get a due date for when a baby is supposed to come....but no idea *EXACTLY* when the baby will come.   But when the mommy's getting really big...you know it will be any day now.  But exactly which day?  No one has any clue.
