They say Thompson has an excellent chance of survival for at least five to 10 years, based on the experiences of other patients reported in medical journals.

Ok I may be confused, so help me get this straight.

Fred's 65, he can expect to live at least another 5 to 10 years with this disease and the average life expectancy of a white male in the United States is a hair over 75 correct?

So where's the problem other than the fact we're all going to die one day unless the Lord comes back in our lifetimes?

This is no problem of course. The anti-fred's are trying their best to cast doubt about Fred's health in a vain attempt to hurt Fred's campaign for prez. It won't work. I doubt if there is anyone out there that likes Fred for president but will vote for someone else because of the lymphoma.

Its all just gasbaggery!

"So where's the problem other than the fact we're all going to die one day unless the Lord comes back in our lifetimes?"

Your earthly body of flesh still dies.

For those who have kept the Gospel, there will be no Judgment and no end. For these the end of the world will simply be like the changing of clothes. Like going from rags to the robes of state.

Speaking of these robes Paul said, "...there are heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies...If the soul has its own embodiment, so does the spirit have its own embodiment. This (exchange of clothes) will be instantaneous, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. "

"It will sound, and the dead will be raised, [ and not all those who have ever died, just those who died during Armageddon's hour] imperishable, and we shall be changed as well, because our present perishable nature must put on imperishability and this mortal nature must put on immortality...then the words of scripture will come true: 'Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Cor.15:41-56).

Victory is eternal life in the NEW world in the NEW heaven, because:

"Now heaven, celebrate her downfall, and all you saints, apostles and prophets: God has given judgment for you against her. Then a powerful angel picked up a boulder like a great millstone, and as he hurled it into the sea, he said, 'That is how the great city of Babylon is going to be hurled down, never to be seen again." (Rv.18:20-21).

[the great city of Babylon is the old earth]

"After this I seemed to hear the great sound of a huge crowd in heaven, singing, 'Alleluia! Victory and glory and power to our God! He judges fairly, he punishes justly, and he has condemned the famous prostitute who corrupted the earth with her fornication; he has avenged his servants that she killed'.

Then a voice came from the throne; it said, 'praise our God, you servants of his and all who, great or small, revere him'. And I seemed to hear the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering, 'Alleluia!

The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be glad and joyful and give praise to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.'

The angel said, 'Write this: Happy are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb', and he added, 'All the things you have written are true messages from God'.

Then I knelt at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, 'Don't do that: I am a servant just like you and all your brothers who are witnesses to Jesus. It is God that you must worship." (Rv.19:1-10).

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea.

I saw the holy city, and the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, as beautiful as a bride all dressed for her husband.

Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'You see this city? Here God lives among men. He will make his home among them; they shall be his people, and he, himself will be their God...There will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness. The world of the past has gone.'

Then the One sitting on the throne spoke: 'Now I am making the whole of creation new' he said. 'Write this: that what I am saying is sure and will come true.' And then he said, 'It is already done." (Rv.21:4-5).

The old earth, the old universe is destroyed, and a new perfect one, one without death, one that hasn't been corupted by Satan, one that will last forevermore replaces the old.

Though God may have created this world in righteousness, that is not what we see in it now. Jesus said that the prince of this earth is Satan, and that is why it must be destroyed.
