  • I am ready !!

  • too bad the world is proven to be millions of years old. Fear has always been a good way to control people.

  • @georgeamolochitis centuries ago the earth had also been "proven" to be flat. Scientists are constantly changing what is true and what is not and often times it is based on a scientists preconceived notions as to what to expect. There is actually a lot of scientific evidence supporting a young earth if you were to research it for yourself. The truth is, Origins science is not science at all. It can not be repeated, it can not be observed. Evidence is often chosen to fit the desired outcome.

  • It's not a horror movie, just fact so you can talk bad about this if you want you will see and don't be left behind. Soon, so soon.

  • @claressa98... Right on!!:)

  • I love this video. Oh what a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see what day glorious day that will be. God bless all.

  • @joelweymouthtais...umm u might as well not b a Christian...your completely missing the point...sadly u have brought shame to real Christians " followers n Christ and deciples"...we should never wish someone to hell or push them away no matter how against our views they r...remember always be patient we have to plant the seed, God will work n their hearts if we can't...oh and this video is the best...I'm glad I kno I wnt b left behind!!!:)

  • That really makes me think!

  • what song is playing in the background of this?

  • some people will believe anything .... its called natural disasters .. and they happen all the time. This is another way to put fear into people. Just live a good life and good things will come, if the world ends then it ends.

  • i am ready

  • You guys turned the return of Jesus and the Rapture into a horror movie.

  • @kinutsuki That's what I was thinking too.

  • wow thats great..

  • the last time (april 22 2011) i saw this video its view was 300 or something but now its almost 70,000 :) god bless u all

  • The verse states that the Anti Christ wont be revealed till the presence of God is removed from the earth and the only way that is possible is to take up (rapture) the Body of Christ. I mean no disrespect for anyone, but I dont want to be held accountable for not sharing the truth of Jesus' coming with the world. And by the way, this is coming from a Christian youth who is surrendered to evangelism. In context with the video...."are you ready?"

  • As a "Bible Belt" Christian, we are not scared of the rapture...but more look forward to it. The rapture is not a bad thing. It is a promise made by God that He will spare His children (bible belt or not) from the chaos of the tribulation. The Bible, when taken in context, says the dead in Christ will rise first and then the body of Christ. The pre-trib part comes of the verses in Thessalians

  • @TrooperRaven you are so right!! i agree 100%

  • I will really like it if people NOT Christianitized get to see Christian videos, it is wrong by mixing two religions, NICE vid by the way

  • Read Rev. 12 and 13 talk about in the bible so believe it!

  • the rapture is not biblical!!!! stop believing this crap!

  • @bigbottom124

    um I am afraid to ask, which bible are you reading?

  • @saintboot77 Definitely not the americanized scofield Bible that makes so many Bible Belt "Chrisitans" so scared of a pre-tribulation rapture. My advise to anyone is to look at eschatology in terms of what it meant to the early christians. Read your Bible...and don't put an americanized spin on it.

  • Wow this is powerful!! I am willing to do what ever it takes to not be left behind

  • The rapture is the day you die!

    Stop concerning yourselves with the rapture, rather concern yourself with the moment you die

    We could die any second by heart attack, accident, desease or bug bite.

    This is the day we should consider.

  • "Christ come come this moment, or he might come next week. Or he could even com-" BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!! goodness gracious that scared me.....it makes me really not wanna be left behind....

  • @TheBluecotton24 I think that's the whole point, whether that's good or bad remains to be seen.  I believe they have the right intentions, however if you have to scare somebody into believing or living a certain way, doesn't that defeat the original purpose?

  • @ graiegragg - 2 Thess 2-11 is talking about the people who did not want to accept the word of God and regected it and that God shall hardend their hearts and let them be decieved by the devil beacause they did not want to belive in him. It does not mean that God is lying to us about his word. And the word Rapture is defined in 1 Thess chapter 4

  • Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

  • @philoyou26 You're right on.

  • The word "RAPTURE" is no where to be found in the HOLY SCRIPTURES. It is in the websters dictionary and it is described as "STRONG DELUSIONS" and you can find these words in your bible in 2nd Thessalonians, chapter 2 verse 11:" And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

  • @graiegragg "Rapture", in the context of eschatology, is an English noun derived from the Latin verb rapiō, "caught up" or "taken away." as found in the Vulgate rendering of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. The "rapture" or "catching away" of the church is very real and will happen. The strong delusion you are referring (reading scripture in context) takes place after the rapture of the church for those who are left behind and will believe the lies and delusions of the anit-christ.

  • @crazeart The bible could also be referring to the "church" or religion as a whole being "taken away" or raptured, not necessarily its people being taken away and spared from the tribulation period. As if people were no longer interest in going to church or not allowed to. I think, just has this video shows, "the rapture" is a nice way to scare people into believing, but IMO it boils down to what you believe in your heart and how you live your life with the choices we make.

  • @philoyou26 great job you did a great thing

  • "even so, come Lord Jesus"....

  • i accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour and my God, i don't have nothing to worry about the incoming rapture.. i want to serve Him while I am waiting for His coming..

    i love Him so much..

  • @philoyou26 - The same here, GOD Bless and Be Blessed!!!

  • Jesus Christ is my lord and savior and I WILL serve him and only him!!!!

  • Answer this Everyone "Are you the one who disappeared or the one still there on your knees left behind ?"  I see my self as the one on my knees left behind

  • He,s coming like a thief in the night...Be ready..REPENT and ask Jesus into your heart so you will be able to stand in front of a Holy GOD when he does return...Jesus went to the cross as the perfect sacrifice for us sinners so we can be forgiven ..We must let him in our hearts or its not going to be good..The BIBLE says every knee shall bow and every tongue WILL confess JESUS CHRST IS LORD...

  • LOL, from a great begining, 6000 years later, its apparent God f***ked up isn't it?

  • The rapture is but the fabric of invention; it's no more than a jest of theater for those who know no Gospel.

  • @theNewCovenantGroup Can tell you never studied scripture!

  • Yaay JESUS :D

  • I am sick an tired of moronic pseudo-intellectuals who won't answer any of the arguments - you a just dog excrement that is going to burn in hell. This is my normal dealings with lost people and smug little pip squeak atheists - ANSWER MY POINTS - YOU CAN'T I PRESENTED EVIDENCE AND YOU IGNORE BECAUSE YOU ARE AN AUTOMATON. I am listening to a

  • Joel, how do you know that GawdOfThunder will burn in Hell? You rail at GawdOfThunder for being an "automaton" and yet you show no patience whatsoever for an opposing worldview. What if the Apostle Paul had conducted himself in such a manner at Mars Hill?

  • Have you actually read the speech Paul made in the orignal Greek, it was not very nice, the closes to this was the KJV. You don't know what your are talking about. Peter called men like idiot boy "Gawd..." willfully ignorant - stupid on purpose. And as far as you, stop using "different world view" - pop culture cliche - just shows t hat you watch too much TV. You are either right or wrong. He is wrong and so are you. TTFN

  • Jesus Christ has shown a great deal of patience with me as I have stumbled along the path. Could you afford us lesser mortals just a little of yours?

  • Isn't my friend Joel Weymouth a real treat to deal with? So much for intelligent debate of differing views...

  • How do I know he's going to hell?- "the unbelieving.... shall have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone which is the second death" Right or wrong - no grey area. I have seen people die without opiate - it is not pretty. "Get me out of this fire..." every time. You don't accept that - be the typical atheist that believes in the big bang - something was created by nothing. That is what Big Bangers believe - 1st &2nd Law of Thermodynamics - not possible! You are illogical nuts.

  • Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.....

    Ahhhhh .... You do know I'm from Canada.... right? After experiencing winters where the rubber on the soles of your boots crack like glass, the threat (or promise) of eternal fire almost sounds like an extended warm vacation to me.

  • OMG you are a stupid man - there were no non-mormon contemporaneous writers of Joe Smith THEREFORE it is conceivable that one or two contemporaneous historians may not have mentioned. I cited 3 contemporaneous historians who mentioned Jesus you stupid pile of crap. Edison was an atheist, Newton, the inventors of the MRI, Werner Von Braun, Marconi, Graham Bell, Samuel Morison - all evangelical Christians (Braun converted after he came to America).

  • This shows how uneducated you are, it was not Aldous, but Thomas Huxley who suggested that Jesus did not live. And Tacitus (50 AD) was contemporary as was Josephus. And all the others were within 1 generation or friends (Polycarp) of John. Those would all be contemporaries - as I would be of FDR, even though I was born 15 years after his death. The point is you are ignorant ill-informed bozo that has no clue except what he is told by his betters

  • If this life is all there is and afterward only oblivion, then why bother pursuing anything? Why bother obeying laws? Why bother with friendship, or even love? Why even bother trying to convince others that there is nothing after death? If each man is at the center of his own universe, then why bother asking questions about anything?

    What purpose is there to anything if oblivion is our final destination?

  • Since I believe that this life is all we have, then it makes more sense to me to make the best of this life. I have no delusions about an afterlife (it will be much the same as before you were born).... nothing... So enjoy this life to the fullest, be good, be good to others. No time to waste on delusions of gods and afterlives.

  • So despise this life to the fullest, be evil, do evil to others.

    Would you consider this worldview to be just as valid as yours?

    By the way, I wasn't the one who clicked the thumbs down on your comment.

  • No I would not consider that my world view. I think my previous comment sums it up best....

    .... anyways, I am surprise I haven't got more thumbs down on this comment list. My views are rather different than most of the people here. Hey that's what makes life fun.

  • No, I think you have misunderstood my remarks.

    I merely took a previous comment of your and reversed it. My question was whether you considered a worldview 180 degrees opposite to your own to be just as valid?

  • Oh sorry, yes I did misunderstand your question. Well, I would have to agree that a worldview 180 different from mine could be valid. I personally might not have that view but that's ok. I believe that religious beliefs are not beyond question just as political beliefs are not.

  • Is there such a thing as a moral absolute?

  • No I don't think so. Some of the 'big' moral questions such as murder might be considered absolute. But then what about wars that countries start by using the words "a justified war".... maybe it is justified. But there will still be many innocents killed. The bible is full of atrocities that any modern person would think were horrible, but then people explain them off by saying "Oh that was the old testiment, things were different then".

  • Allow me to be more specific.

    Would you say that sexual molestation of a small child is absolutely wrong?

  • I apologize for forgetting about something like that. Yes, I would have to say sexual molestation of anyone is always wrong.

  • I see. Thanks for the conversation. I hope you find what you think you're looking for.

  • @TrooperRaven Scary isn't it. I personally believe this life (mortal) can't be the only point, but the question remains, what if it is? Would you live your life any differently? Would you cheat on your wife, speed to work, Kill your neighbor, steal? By answering any of these questions with a yes, then I think we are missing the whole point. The simple truth is we are floating around space on a giant ball and the choices are all ours. What we do with our time is just that, our choice.

  • I have spent the last two years studying the Genesis account of creation. I also have a science background so I am studying it from that angle. That being said, I stand corrected on the order of the creation in the first chapter. There is a lot of debate on the first chapter on Genesis even in bible believer circles. You are also correct that Christ did encourage slaves to obey their masters. How does this promote slave? Where is your proof that God is not real? What about electrons? Gravity ?

  • First of all, I never mentioned the bible in my discussion. You don't need to bible to prove or disprove God's existence. But let's say that what you are saying about the bible it true, it does not prove that God doesn't exist. What you are saying is that it proves God is a bad diety.

    But, even so, the bible does not say that the earth came before the sun. It certainly does not say that slavery is OK. etc.

    But let's cut the chase, YOU believe in things you cannot see. Am I right?

  • Ooga booga! Zeus is pissed at us, we'd better make sacrifice to Mt. Olympus. Eeek! Thor will blast you for that statement! Silence infidels, or be burnt by the mighty Ra!

    All this to say that religious fervor has been felt as deeply by other faiths for thousands of years. We who don't believe in gods simply believe in one less than you. When you know why you dismiss the others, you will know why we dismiss yours.

  • What is your opinion of Jesus of Nazareth and his teachings?

  • What dictionary are you using? Your definition of insanity is false. What evidence do you have to prove that God is not real?

  • most Christians don;t claim to see God. They reason that the universe has a source of creation, God.

    Jesus was also not an illusion. He was a real man.

  • You don't know much about valid syllogisms do you?

    Yours breaks down to:

    Insanity is believing in things that aren't real.

    God is not real.

    Believing in God is insane.

    One of your premises is the disputed point...you can't use the crux of the argument as a fact supporting your position!

    I submit that not believing in God is insane, based on the same syllogism.

    Insanity is not believing in something real.

    God is real.

    Anyone who doesn't believe in God is insane.

  • Hi Snuhtoyou:

    His syllogism is false for many other reasons. First, his/her definition of insanity is incorrect. One ASPECT if insanity is that people see things that aren't there. Also, people can see things that aren't there that are NOT insane (LCD users is one example),

    Second, God is not real in the second part is question begging. How is God not real? What proof does he/her have etc. ?

    And, more to the point, how does he defince what is real?

  • Yes, I agee...I just had surgery on my hand so I kept my rebuttal short!

    :P

  • By your definition the vast majority of humanity is insane. Note, I am not making an apeal to popularity to try to prove God's existence, I am only saying that it is a bit extreme to declare all of those who disagree with you "insane".

    If you are going to take the position that yours is the more logical and intellectually rigorous view, please don't engage in ad homenim attacks and begging the question.

    There are brilliant and sane people on both sides of this debate.

  • By what standard is belief in God insane? I respect that you are convinced that God does not exist, but to declare that the overwhelming majority of humanity that believes in some sort of god is insane is a bit over-the-top.

    I know that religion does attract the nutters, as does the internet, so an internet thread discussing religion is definitely going to have a lot of crazy people. But there are many psychologically and intellectually sound people who believe in God.

  • Baaaaad theology.

  • Well...you can say what you will...but we all will find out one day....The Day of Judgement! May GOD bless you!!

  • This message is erroneous. When Jesus returns, the wicked will be slain. There will be no one 'Left behind' except for the dead. There is nowhere in the Scriptures even a suggestion of a secret, quiet, vanishing, pre-tribulation rapture. The Church will be 'caught up' upon Jesus' LOUD, VISIBLE, DESTRUCTIVE-TO-THE-WICKED 2nd Advent. There will be a 'rapture', but there is nothing secret, or quiet about it. It will be the most devastating event the universe has ever witnessed.

  • Some ppl praise Jesus like we're doing Hiim a favor or stroking His ego. He DOESNT need us to give Him praise. WE NEED HIM. In Luke 19:40 it says '..if they keep quiet then the stones will cry out.'When you tired trying to live your way, try Jesus.Don't go to Him with you worldly minds,becuz you will be disappointed.We must deny our fleshly desires and submit wholeheartedly. We cant live in sin and have a relationship with Him.Sin seperates us fromHIM. Remove sin and walk His path.Repent+Baptize

  • i was about to leave an inspiring comment but it seems as though most rebellious people are stuck in their ways. Just Know that we will all know the truth on Judgement Day. Think about what Jesus upholds versus what the world upholds.

    Jesus upholds good. He has control over all things/ppl but gives us a choice.He is the key to eternal life.Life on earth is a mist, aim 4HIM

    The world try to control things that it cant. It controls nothing but ppl with desires that WONT matter when we die.

  • Thats a good example i believe u

  • thats a stupid example.. every religion is still alive.. first of all.. but not one religion who has called to their false God has responded.. but the God of Abraham Isaac And JAcob..

  • He doesnt need to talk to show you that hes real.. just notice... who created such an abstract complex life form. who gave you the ability to think.. a Monkey??? i dnt think you were ever a christian if you had to question if God was real...

  • HELL IS AWAITING FOR YOU>> REPENT>> for you have been warned. and when Jesus comes, you cant say that you havent been told to repent..

  • I can say that I have been only told by nutjobs, and that WILL be the truth...

  • DEMONS BE GONE!!!!

  • Hebrews 6:4-6

    I pray brother that you will seriously remember what you felt when you were sitting there with your good friends, people crying all around you. That is the Spirit of God and His love moves people, not just music.....

  • You dont know what you are saying. I pray that God will forgive you for denying of your Saviour. My heart truly aches when i read your words for you are so ungrateful person! You are so ungrateful to your Creator! I am sorry..

  • Emotional blackmail much?

  • Your proof is n Ezekial. Read it! It tells u the creation of Lucifer, a perfect angel, and how he chose 2 become Satan. U can't believe n Satan if u don't believe n God, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. Without one you can't have the other. So believe what you want, it is your choice, but if you don't believe in a Heaven or God, than you shouldn't be worried about being sent to Hell since "Hell doesn't exist" to you. Good person or not, God loves you. That's all I have to say.

  • Agreed!

  • I do NOT entertain personal insults that is absolutely NOT true.I do not accept any slander & Profanitiesof any kind and" I BIND IT in Jesus Christ Migthy name".

  • Has it ever popped into your mind that Satan rules Hell and how HE (not God) loves to see pain? Maybe you should look down deeper into God and think,"Maybe Hell wasn't his intention. Maybe He feels horrible beyond compare that people will have to spend an eternity burning" you may think im insane but i've felt Him. To tell you the truth at first I thought i was wasting time, until i allowed Him in. Like i said before, my life is changed

  • then your all powerful God should stop Satan from causing so much pain ..... if he loves us.....

  • People cause their own pain. God gives us free will to choose Him.

  • In Jesus Name, I pray for your soul to be reconciled with your maker. That true repentence enter into your heart and you renew yourself with Him once again. Deep down in your heart, there is a true knowledge that we are His, and when we are right with Him and when we are not. Despite what you say on here and what you want to say on here after this, in the quite time Talk to your God, Jesus.

    Lord Bless you,

  • Time to settle this. Fool!

    Jesus is Lord of all

    i could prove that Jesus is Lord, a journey that has taken me two years of exstensive research. If you truly want to know God, ask him and he will show younthe way. Otherwise hell is your fate and well deserved. You have a chance to accept jesus as lord, so do it and dont complain when you burn for all time.

    Good luck, i hope ur willing to wager our soul. Tell lucifer that youll be seeing him in hell, being that he has decieved you

  • The reason he hasn't gave u hard evidence like Matthew, Mark, Luke, etc is b/c they were chosen 2 write God's word, & now that God's word (The Bible) is finished, there is no reason 2 find any others. He explains everything he needs from us n the Bible to make it to Heaven. He doesn't need 2 pop into random people today 2 say it again. So he's not playing faves., & even if u don't believe n God, he still loves u. Just b/c you're going 2 Hell doesn't mean he hates you, you just should've believed

  • If Jesus will come back there willl be a LARGE % of the Xians who are going to be in for a shock. I think Jesus would be disgusted by what he sees. People who use his name to give them the right to hate and devide. If we look at the teachings of jesus he was a normal down to earth kinda guy. Love thy neighbours. That is the key. Not Obay this particular version of the God, Lord of Lords cause that is your life destiny, If you don't complete that you will be tortured for ever. That is not Xian.

  • Yeah. Jesus does love you. He gave us a choice to beleive in Him, or not. I think that with all the things bad i have done and/or will do, how can he not kill me? and when we die- the people who beleive in Him will go to Heaven. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    God has proven me that he exists, because i allowed him in my heart. my life is changed.

  • It's estimated 200 million people were on earth in Noah's day when God sent the flood. Only 8 were saved. There was an estimated 200,000 people in Sodom and Gomorrah when they were destroyed. Only 3 were saved. Of the at least 3 million adult Israelites that left Egypt and wandered into the wilderness, only 2 entered the Promise Land. We're entering the final moments on earth with 7.8 billion people. Will you be one of the few that are saved? Read Luke 13:23-24. FEW there be that find it.

  • Preparing is the most important part of this GREAT EVENT.

    How one can prepare self/family/others?

    Start with the SELF ist.Connect with GOD PERSONALLY then as your relationship buids up HE will reveal what you need to do.Simple starting move that will help you in discovering the narrow way to LIFE.

  • 1:02

    LOL

  • well no signs where even in really so yeah...and the 10 commandments are not silly.and the US was built on GOD's word....and it's not religion,Jesus said he is the truth and the way! but God has sent me too you,so don't sey you never had a chance...God bless you my friend! and I hope you find the truth! JESUS loves you more then you will ever know...and I love you as well.

  • well look at the world and tell me it 's not trash....they broke the agreement with God,they took the 10 commandments away,all the gay's,the war today is going to be the last...you will see when the antichrist shows up very soon...and there is a lot more then that....

  • I love the Lord Jesus Christ! king of kings and Lord of Lords!!!

  • not really,and I think some ppl have been saying that for some time tho,but they was saying that when the signs where not even in..but to day it has never been like this...the signs are in!!!!! don't let what they said a long time ago fool you to think it wont happen now.God bless!!!

  • and you will be tribulated?

    I don't wanna... its going to be painful @.@

  • Hey instead of debating? we should be grateful that God is still giving us time to repent? these things will come true. Joshua 21:45 said that not a single one of all the visions/promises of the Lord had given was left unfullfilled. So instead of getting angry to those who post this? we should be greateful for their reminder?

    God bless.

  • Actually, it's people, like yourself that CHOOSE hell. Hell is simply the antithesis of God's presence. Hell is to be in the presence of sin incarnate. People love sin and hate the idea of following God's will. God HONORS this choice by giving them eternity in the presence of unbrideled sin. Problem is, people don't really know what they're getting into when they reject God...

  • Luke 17:34-36. The rapture as described by Jesus Christ, friend.  The word 'rapture' is simply a modern term to describe the scenario. Just like Trinity, though not written in the Bible, is a shorthand modern term describing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit which ARE written in the Bible. Lemme guess- Catholic??

  • At no point in history could the entire world be forced into a global economic government or currency. I guess you fall into the 'scoffer' category.. The same kind of person that drowned in the Flood.

  • How to become a Christian click on:

    Godisreal101

  • The removal of the church and the first resurection of believers happens before His second coming by 7 years. Please see Chuck Misslers teaching which explains the jewish wedding mode; as the pattern for our elationship with Jesus. This explains why there is a rapture and its pretrib

  • whats the songs name

  • Comment removed

  • lol, I haven't noticed anyone missing.

  • I want to show this video to the youth at church is there any way that i can download it. I feel this will open up their eyes

    BLESSINGS : )

  • wow...this video gives me the goosebumps, chills, and it makes me wanna go to church now

  • you probably don't want to say that.

  • ...scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation...' ..But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men..' 2 Peter 2:3-7

    Keep scoffing. You'll see.

  • Right...Keep believing in your mythology called Christianity and we will continue on with our lives, dealing with the events as they come. Like we have done for thousands of years.

  • This video gives me chills. But it makes me feel so helpless for the others. Im only 13 and I can do something. But on the other hand... im only 1. 1 cannot change everything back to good... Only we can.

  • im only 13 and im scared outta my mind for my mother.

  • Read CS Lewis's "Mere Christianity"

  • Hey guys do you know what the music is in the background of the video? After the 6000 years later part

  • lol

  • Why does everyone say 'god' is a guy? it's kinda sexist, if you ask me

  • It has to be a guy... would a woman screw up the world this bad.... ?

  • WOW! Impressive GofT; I appreciate your feminist side. However God is not reponsible for the big "screw up"...we are...anyway, I am glad you are back...I missed "chatting" with u.

  • Probably not...If all the leaders of the world were women, we wouldn't have so many wars; I reckon.

  • Probably not...If all the leaders of the world were women, we wouldn't have so many wars; I reckon.

  • If jesus is real, does that make every other religion wrong? How do we know that the're not ALL wrong??

  • God CAN'T come at the end of time because there IS no such thing AS time. Time is just a human concept, and has no real relation to the workings of the universe.

    THEREFORE... It proves that there can be no gods at all. I think XD

  • Actually, I agree with u. "One day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day" It even says that in the Bible. To God there is no time.He transcends time. But I am a bit confused as to HOW that PROVES that God does not exist? All other religions are just ways that man is trying to GET to GOD. Christianity is God reaching out to man. Beautiful, HUH?

  • How has 'he' reached out to us?

  • by hanging on a cross in our place ...taking our punishment for us so that we could know Him.

  • He touched us with his noodley appendage...

  • can u decipher that..what does "noodley" mean?

  • Check out the "church of the flying spaghetti monster" on google. :) Then you will know.

  • It takes only one false prophecy to make a "religion" null and void...The bible contains no errors and 100% perfect prophecy...Over 100 prophecies fulfilled in Christ alone ..specific and detailed foretold hundreds of years before His birth.....(not to mention all of the prophecies about Israel and many other things)

  • You know, if this were any other religion preaching that there was only their way; and all nonbelivers are gonna go to hell; they would be seen as some kind of extremeists. Why do christians get all the special treatment? Just my views; don't kill me for having free will; if you like, 'god' gave us the ability to question 'his' and our very existence.

  • Hey Nightmoon, last time I checked the only special treatment I have seen has been to the liberals, criminals, and every "other" religion there is. Christianity recieves more attackes and criticism than any other religion out there...anyway, I am not preaching Christianity..I absolutely hate the institution of religion in and of itself..religion is just a bunch of man made rules that have no relevance whatsoever. Even Jesus Himself rebuked the pious religious leaders of His day.

  • What other "religion" offers believers the ability to be set free from sin with NO PENANCE to pay?none...and it is a FREE GIFT!!! Why are u so bothered by that?

  • I don't really belive in it; but the pennance is that I would have to belive in something in which I have no faith in, and being free from sins is too hard for a lot of people.

  • Oh come on now, your having fun... aren't ya?

    And thanks for praying for me :) But if your god really exists, then he knows what I'm like.... He made me... who is going to tell god he screwed up when he made me... you? He might go and smite you for questioning his motives... Also what's this 'I know jesus' stuff? Did he show himself? I've always been particularly fond of that statement. If you're seeing and hearing things, they now have drugs to help with that condition. cheers

  • I posted a response to this but I don't see it. Do some things just not get posted? I am new at this so this forum is a bit confusing. I have typed several responses that haven't shown up. what am I doing wrong? What i was saying is why do u think that I would tell God that He screwed up with u? God doesn't "screw up" but certainly if He was capable of mistakes I would have been His biggest. Actually in my conversations w/God I ask HIm to show u His infinite love for u.OH and for Him to

  • help u thru the trial u are facing in your life right now. Oh and I would be more than happy to share with u how I know Jesus. But do u really want to know or was that just a rhetorical question? cheers!

  • So how do you know jesus? Does he talk to you? Does god talk to you?

  • I'd like to tell u that when I was not a Christian yet I told God that if he was real then He should appear right before my eyes.That of course didn't happen.If He would have done that I would have thought I was crazy and so would everyone else. But what happened after that initial invitation for God to prove Himself to me was so much MORE convincing because only HE could have done what he did.That has been and continues to be the basis for my strong faith and belief.What He did was

  • The long and short of it is this..He speaks and it is much louder than mere words. He speaks to my heart mainly thru His word and thru other people but His voice is never audible. But He will put a scripture reference in my head and I will go look it up and it'll be an answer to exactly what I was asking Him. By the way, GawdofThunder, How is your health? Sometimes He "lays things on my heart" to pray for and your health happened to be one of them.

  • Healthy as an ox... Thanks for asking... :)

  • Hey GawdofThunder, where did u go?

  • Spent the week down in Monterey California... Damn, what a nice place.

  • hey there, I thought I lost ya..Monterey is one of my most favorite places...did you go to the aquarium? I asked you in one of my very first postings if you were a hockey fan but I don't think you saw it...Anyway, I am a huge hockey fan..fanatical, in fact ...best sport there is. Saw that u are from Canada and assumed you must love hockey..i guess that is like assuming all Texans ride horses.I am glad to hear you are healthy:)

  • I didn't get a chance to get to the aquarium, too busy. This was business not fun... although I did have some fun. I'm one of the few Canadians that isn't a hockey fan. Go figure.

  • Okay okay, you got me. Your right, the only true evidence that I would believe to prove your god exists is for him to appear in front of me right now and smite me..... Holy S*it !!!! Zaaaaapppp!

  • in due time, my friend

  • Not afraid at all. I probably attended church as long as you are old. I was an atheist the whole time, and I bet I was the only one there that actually listened. I enjoyed the sermons, but I certainly didn't believe any of the supernatural stuff. As for the bible, it was written years after the actual events took place. None of what is written can be taken as 'truth'. Other than the bible, nothing else has anything written about jesus... nothing!! ... skeptical..??? you bet I am!

  • I appreciate your honesty.  I am curious as to the "church" that you attended. As for the life AND resurrection of Jesus I can site several accounts of His life written by secular historians that corroborate His existence, death and ressurection. Two of these people, Josephus and Tacitus, were in fact non believers at the time of their writings. It is documented in antiquities and verifies that Jesus lived, died and was seen after His death. Would you like proof of this because I have it?

  • It is widely believed the Josephus account is a blatant forgery. Tacitus was born around 56 AD.. enough said. Like I said, there is no account of jesus written by anyone who actually physically met him. None... During the period when jesus was supposed to have lived, many historians wrote, but none ever mention jesus. Sorry, I am still very skepical. If you have any writings done by someone who actually met jesus I would love to hear about it. cheers

  • yeah and guess who that is widely "believed" By? The only ones who dispute it are the very ones that don't want it to be true in the 1st place. What's funny is that the bible is the oNLY book that is disputed from antiquities. You don't see any one disputing the documents written about Julious Caesar which were written 1000 years after the originals. The gospel accounts were written within 40 years of Jesus' life. And as for there not being any account written by anyone who who

  • physically walked with Jesus, WHO DO YOU THINK MATTHEW, MARK, JOHN AND MANY OTHERS MENTIONED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WERE? They all walked with Him and knew Him well. That is WRITTEN proof. Not only that but how do u explain the hundreds of Old Testament prophecies concerning Christ alone that were written hundreds of years before His birth and that have been SPECIFICALLY fulfilled.Hundreds down to the most minute detail? Look I know that you enjoy spreading your atheistic comments around and

  • you get pleasure out of "thinking" that you are putting us Christians in our places and the fact is you enjoy arguing with people like me. I enjoy arguing right back. There will be no convincing you of anything as you have already made up your mind and that's ok because it is not my job nor my intention to prove God to you. God is quite capable of doing that Himself. But I will state the obvious..I could spend hours proving God, if I wanted to and if I thought your were genuinely interested

  • John, Paul, George & Ringo er... what ever there names were...

    I believe I struck a nerve. Sorry about that.

    But the bible is not the inspired word of a god, but the misc ramblings of bronze age bigots, racists and rapists. Great stuff for controlling the ignorant masses.... and it still works. I not only not believe in your god, but all the other gods that you also do not believe in. With out Real proof, I am forced to still say... I'm still a bit skeptical...

  • my other comments didn't get posted, but what I was asking is how do u answer to the fact that in Christ alone hundreds of very specific prophecies, some of which were prophecied hundreds of years,sometimes MORE, BEFORE he was born, were fulfilled? Here is a challenge for u. U go and find 66 books that are written by over 40 different authors who don't know each other, and who lived on 3 diff. continents and on top of that they have to be written in 3 diff. languages all with the SAME theme.good

  • luck with that. That is the Bible and the only way that something that monumental could happen is by GOD Himself. Here's the deal, u don't want proof.you want an excuse. The fact is evertime u look in the mirror, that is proof of God.Look at the miracle of birth, there is more..look at creation around u, still more, but u are unwilling to see it 4 what it is.Hey it's your life. U like to act as if u want proof but I see right thru u. U don't strike a nerve with me, but I know u are trying to

  • it takes a whole lot more that immature rhetoric to do that. what I feel is pity 4 u.Yeah I know, Don't pity u right? Who I am to do that? Oh and guess what else....gawdofthunder, I AM PRAYING FOR YOU,too. What are you gonna do with that? Oh and Jesus is not just someone I believe in, He is someone I KNOW..even u can't refute that..But oh how i eagerly await your "insightful" repsonse to that one...

  • but the truth is is that u have no intention whatsoever of searching for the truth because it might just cause u to see that u are not as good as u think u are..and when something points out to us our true state of being we run the other direction because the reflection we see is disturbing.. that takes a real person...a real man...to see himself for what he truly is... someting you will never do.

  • and honestly, gawdofthunder, is the missing link for u really me acquiring the name of a secular historian who was alive when Jesus was?That is WEAK my friend because even if I showed u a name u would find something else to argue so don't insult my intelligence by saying that that is the one piece of evidence that would do it for you.YOu make me laugh.God has graciously given more proof than we even deserve and more importantly His Son to take our place. WE DESERVE NOTHING. I for 1 am thankful
