"ou call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am." -Jesus

That is good enough for me. So to you, these words have no meaning. And why should they? You don't believe. The nonbeliever cannot understand the things of the spirit, because they are spiritually discerned. They cannot accept it because the word is foolishness to those that are perishing.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

That sums it up. I'm not trying to convert you or anything, I just wanted to know your thoughts and reasons behind what your saying is all.

See previous post, its nothing new mane. Its not a surprise that you think so. Many who dont believe would love to silence believers by calling them names or talking down to them. Its just nothing new. I expect it, especially posting here. It wont change anything but I like to see your views and opinions. If I didn't want to see or hear them I wouldn't post here.

Allah contraire! I love the way you blather on in your uneducated pathos it's quite entertaining, I rather insist you do go on..

Your kind is dying out slowly, the more wealth and security people have in their lives the less use there will be for your brand of delusion.. As I said earlier studies show that religion in the west is dying out.

It could be dying, and scripture says there will be great apostasy in the end times. However it will never fully die out. That much is clear. Dying and dead are 2 different things.

Dude you are arguing about it but whatever argument you put forth is likely done after you have already decided what you believe.


People decide these things emotionally with some reason thrown in as opposed to purely logical or even with a majority of logic. People decide and then fill in their logic.


There have been studies!

Oh I'm very sure that we'll be rid of religion in a few hundred years.. It's simply useless and not much fun.

Oh and that whole "doom and gloom" part of the bible is less likely then the Norse version which is Fimbulavintern -7 years of winter followed by Ragnarök

I'm not too worried about the likelihood of it. The bible said it will happen, it will. I dont have to venture much of a guess. The real question is when?
But to be honest I never read up on the whole norse version. As many peoples have their own version of an end time scenario. I'll stick with the biblical version myself, your welcome to do whatever floats your boat. I believe in the whole, as in the days of noah approach. Some do and some dont, its up to the individual.

The thing about end of the world prophecy is that we all know it will happen.. Not in the way its described by any religion unless they happen to predict that the sun will more or less scorch the earth in a few million years.

Or say a huge asteroid that smashes into the earth.. Or just a prolonged nuclear exchange- now this will not kill all of humanity but most of it.

So when it does happen every religion is going to be like "we told you so this is your fault for sinning/eating cow/not bowing to mecca etc..
