“There are a few nutjobs on FR. However, I don’t surf eschatology threads because that subject doesn’t interest me.”

IF and when you find yourself as interested in God’s prophetic timetable as you do in
“a really good USC-Notre Dame game the following October.”
Maybe then you’ll find yourself at a crossroad between what it means for Salvation rather than mocking God’s Word!
Am I suggesting that a Christian is required to fully understand escology in order to be saved? No, not at all. What I am suggesting is that a TRUE Christian would not mock His return in any manner, let alone comparing the Biblical event to that of a game!!
Galatians 6:6-8
King James Version
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Maybe so, but "Christian" mountebanks who try to frighten everyone by distorting scripture in an attempt to prove that the end of the world is imminent deserve to be mocked.
“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?"--Matthew 7:16-16
Harold Camping said that the world would end on May 21, 2011. Can you quote me a passage in the Bible--book, chapter and verse--which specifically states that the world shall end on that specific date? If not, then assertions like this deserve to be mocked.
By the way, that was a great game, so I'm glad the world didn't end the previous May.
