I am promising every single person on this thread that you are going to die of old age or hit by a moose or anyting but there will be no rapture in your lifetime
Many people have lived and died waiting for it.
Jesus will come like a thief in the night. That’s very easy to understand there’s nothing to read into it. go out and enjoy life and let the young people enjoy life and stop hoping that catastrophic things happen. For goodness sake
And some of you will be disappointed? That’s completely insane, you know right? :-)
Jesus never had in mind people waiting around desperately staring at the sky hoping for him to come again.
Be in this earth, not of it.
When your time comes it comes.
Ciao :)
“I am promising every single person on this thread that you are going to die of old age or hit by a moose or anyting but there will be no rapture in your lifetime”
What’s funny is Scripture says that people would say the exact same thing as you, Luke 17:27 and you may very well be right, but to promise something that by your own words you don’t know either “Jesus will come like a thief in the night.” is approaching extreme hypocrisy don’t you think?
“stop hoping that catastrophic things happen. For goodness sake”
It’s not hoping partner it’s and absolute fact that it’s going to happen, it’s just when it will happen.
“And some of you will be disappointed?”
If you followed the Scriptures you would be disappointed too because we are to have that very hope of Christ coming for His bride and leaving this life of sin, death, and pain.
“That’s completely insane, you know right? :-)”
You know right that you are speaking as someone that don’t believe that being with Christ Jesus to be better than anything we could ever imagine here.
“Jesus never had in mind people waiting around desperately staring at the sky hoping for him to come again.”
Poor Paul he had it all wrong, Phil 1:23, he admitted to just how good it was going to be in the presence of the Lord. Lott was tortured by the sin he seen, 2 Peter 2:8. My friend I don’t know what you are seeing in the world, but while I may not being seeing what Lott seen it can’t be far because it tortures me seeing these poor children being taught that homosexuality is just perfectly normal.
You are entitled to your opinion, but from my seat you are not taking Scriptures very seriously and you are seeing the sin of “young people” as simply immature and not as behavior that will condemn them to hell forever.
If you have a better seat than me please tell me where because my family and I will be moving within the year.
Quit being SO logical when you KNOW that so many of us here are going to espouse OUR particular take on so many Scriptures!
And get darned huffy if others tend to poo-poo our conclusions!
