I think I should've used a little but different wording when I said "living in the last days" because, as ususal, some atheist is going to take that literally and laugh as if I meant it's going to come to an end within the next few days or something. I should've said "we are living in the end times" to avoid confusion. No one can accurately predict when the end will come.
Well that's a start, at least. But you can't really fault me for responding to the words you wrote. I can't help it if you should've been more clear the first time.

Bible prophecy states that even Christ Himself doesn't know the exact hour that He will return. Only His Father knows. There are still other prophecies that must be fulfilled before Christ returns. For instance, the entire world (not just a certain region like the ME) is supposed to go thru a 7 year period of great tribulation. With the last 3 and a half years being much worse than the first 3 and a half. Of course, I'm nowhere close to being the world's foremost expert on accurately predicting bible prophecy but the "one world government" thing is something anyone who has studied bible prophecy seriously can attest to.Let's just say we are getting very close to avoid any non-believer claiming after a few days that I was wrong. For certain though, this is probably the last generation to live before Christ returns.
Ok, so even Christ himself doesn't know the hour, but a paragraph later you're making apocalyptic predictions that start with "For certain..."
I'm only condescending when it's warranted. Start contradicting yourself less and it may change.

Edit: Digi, I'm not interested in getting into a debate with you or anyone else, for that matter, who displays such an irritating condescending tone towards me. Believe or rather [b]don't believe whatever you like. I really couldn't care less. I just felt it was my duty to warn those who might actually take this seriously and prepare accordingly. You don't like it? I don't care. [/B]
I'd care very much if the world were going to end. But you're simply not working with the type of reasoning that carries any weight. You yourself just said no one can predict this stuff. So even if the veracity of the Bible is absolute, you're just wandering around in the dark with any predictions. I'd very much like something more than some global warming comments from an increasingly-irrelevant office before I start doomsday prepping.
So while you're spreading fear, I'm happy to live in peace and try to work toward it with others. Any god worth worshipping would look favorably upon that anyway, so I don't know that I'd have a ton to fear from your predicted scenario.
