I don't think it's appropriate to mock another's religious beliefs.

I don't think it's appropriate to mock another's religious beliefs.

Read Isaiah 46. The prophet sneers at the idols of Babylon, which burdered weary mules, and contrasts them to the God of Israel, who Himself carries His people. He also mocks the folks who use the same chunk of wood to create a cooking fire, and an idol to prostrate themselves before.

Chiliaism is very popular among irresponsible losers, looking for excuses. If God Himself has ordained that the Church, despite having access to "all power in heaven and on earth" shall fail to complete the Great Commission -- then who are we to resist God, by trying to achieve much of anything?
