How will you know?

..

 

You won't know(thief in the night and all that). He doesn't know, only the father knows. Yes it's about time. I'm ready to see an end to this world in it's current state.

 

^ Couldn't have said it better myself...

Each one of us will supposedly know only when it is happening, though I think there may be one more thing that needs to happen before the end - has the temple's re-building (for the 3rd time) been completed?

 

i will know when religious bigots kill him again

[he'll probably be supporting gay marriage this time 'round]

 

hmm...

 

Your spiritual connection with God may be an alert system of sorts.

 

We probably won't know

 

I think this statement is interesting. What makes you think he would support gay marriage. Sure he would not condemn homosexuals, just as he dined with tax collectors and prostitutes, but is there any indication that Jesus supported prostitution?

 

I have to say, these replies are not impressive for being in the Sanctuary...

 

Why do you say that?

 

Have to say I agree with Ukr Cdn - Why would you say that?....And, exactly what were you looking for - someone who knew what even the angels in heaven do not know? We only know of certain signs that are to be completed before the end, and even (some of) these signs are up for differing interpretation.

 

Would you believe the reincarnation of Jesus is here walking the earth right now, ready to guide his people, we just don't know it, yet?

I'm thinking of the future and the way 'things' are going and where they are headed. I only can see that this would be the prime time for something like this to occur, therefore I go back to my original post.

How will YOU know? I highly doubt Jesus would have some sort of powers that go against natures physics, so what would be the giveaway that it is, in fact, Jesus? Who's to say he is not some ordinary guy?

 

Ppl will hate you more and more as the Coming of Christ get closer and your a true follower of the Lord. Total strangers will hate you even. As they are the sons of serpents and can see the Lord working in you and with you.. ....
You must be meek not wishing for anything, That mean all the things you may so love cant be something you need or want.
Cant be suprised at the doom that church followers will circum to, blindly being lead by false religions and idoltry.
And you cant be listening to guys Like Jack Van Impe.. How a mofo can preach the end times and be hungry for money Ill never know.

 

Thank you orison

 

unless you condemn a person

what justification can you have for denying them basic human rights?

 

If you are a christian waiting for Christ's return, shouldn't you be raptured before he actually does? Also, isn't he coming to declare war and to judge this time?

 

That ^ was only one of the Many things that occured to me when this original question was posed. If you are a pre or post-millienialist (sp?) We (meaning Christians), according to the Bible will Not be here on this earth when Jesus walks here again, and it my understanding that yes, most certainly it will be for the judgement of those that are left After the rapture.

Also, the only one, as I understand it, that just well May be walking around us now is the anti christ. He will have a world religious leader on one side and a (regular)world leader on the other side. I'm greatly paraphrasing here, but that is the gist.
The anti christ Will perform Supposed "miracles" and will do many things that will fool the ones w/out God in their lifes. I know I already feel like I recognize his evil emisaries in top goverment and business positions, and I for one will not be fooled by the false one.

 

i am still amazed at this rapture thing, basically invented by religious hucksters around 150 years ago

the nicean council [or whomever picked and chose which books went into the bible] would have done the world an enormous favor by leaving out revelations altogether

i guess they saw the opportunity for control over the minds of certain types of people, always a good thing for a church

throw out everything except the quotes of the man jesus and you'll all have a much better guide for living your lives without worrying about homosexuals or flying into the air

 

Isn't it crazy? How can group of people that believe in a virgin birth, a man that walks on water, dies and comes back to life, then flies away to heaven...go on to believe the concept of a rapture into heaven just because their religious text says something like... we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever...or something to that effect. So what if there are a few other versus that suggest this idea.

I mean come on, they didn't really start talking about it until 1830, even though technically they could have any time after Thessalonians was written. Stupid Nicean Council should have omitted Thessalonians too.

If only Christians would stick to Jesus teachings, wait...didn't he claim to be the Son of God and talk about eternal life, resurrection and such? That's not logical either...ahh well, at least we can make fun of them by pointing out how illogical they are and throwing the flying spaghetti monster up in their faces. That never gets old.

Let's face it...we all know they deserve it, think of all the blood that has been spilled in the name of their God, and how they try to control us with their religion, forcing their beliefs upon us. Everyone knows that if there was no religion at all, mankind would never find another reason for, or method of, doing any of those things. Stupid organized religion.
