  • Professor Says Mayan Calendar Does Not Portend Earth's Doom (2012AD)

    I watched the program on the History channel and although I’m a Christian, I still had questions about their date 2012. I know no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return but I wasn’t sure if that also meant we’re not to know the date of the earths end. I know there is still no reason to worry because even if that date was correct, it could only mean that Christ would be returning sometime during the next four years, which would really be great! After reading some of what’s been written in this forum, I really had to laugh at myself for even considering the Mayan calendar might be correct. I suppose it’s kind of like those physics that can’t tell when their own lives are heading for a curve while trying to make everyone else believe they can foretell the future. I think what some and even what sometimes I myself don’t stop to think about is the fact that Satan knows what tragedies will happen in the future since he is the author of everything evil. He can and will give information to those who seek it in the wrong places. Then we believe those people because some of what they’ve already said has come true. He also knows what’s been said behind closed doors and is able to reinvent voices and appearances of those who’ve gone. If we choose to seek out mediums for false comfort, he’s ready and willing to take part. I, for one, am very happy to know that time is in God’s hands and not that of the Mayans or any other culture or person who decides to tell us what the future holds. Just sorry I had to read something online to remember what I already knew, but thanks for everyone posting here...smile. You all helped me back to what I knew before watching that show.
    God bless!
