"opposed to scripture"
It was Paul's teaching that said to the new believers, "it has been given unto you to know the mysteries and secrets of the Kingdom" - if God wasn't going to tell us anything, He forgot to inform Paul.
I believe Jesus said that we "already know the times and the seasons".
Since God is able to commune with us (as believers), then surely He is able to tell us the time is near. Would He tell us the exact date - NO - but He's been giving off signals for years.
Amen, CyberAnt. I agree.
Well put.
