Signs Of Much Greater Importance

[goodlife]

When Jesus Christ was on earth, he gave his listeners a lesson in observing signs and acting accordingly. He was talking about something of far-reaching importance. The Bible reports: “The Pharisees and Sadducees approached him and, to tempt him, they asked him to display to them a sign from heaven. In reply he said to them: ‘When evening falls you are accustomed to say, “It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red”; and at morning, “It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red, but gloomy-looking.” You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret.’”—Matthew 16:1-3
.Rve 1:1
Rev 6:1-9

Morning Goodlife, long time no see. No door-knocking at the moment then? I guess you, like so many, are stuck indoors self-isolating.

[goodlife]

True that why am on here.

[naomi24]

Gosh! I wonder what put that idea into my head? A miracle!! :o)

[woofgang]

but they didn't know....those signs mean nothing.

[Theland]

Good life - You JW?

[andy-hughes]

Surely goodlife, as a devout follower, and assured of a place in heaven, you can walk the earth immune from any pestilence?

Can't you?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Theland he could be the second coming for all we know. There's a lot of very important people on here you know :-)

[Theland]

APG - I really do realise what esteemed company I am in on here.

[gness]

[AuntPollyGrey]

[nailit]

All these believers who worship a God who can create an unimaginable universe, teeming with life, and yet self isolate because of a virus??
And then ask us to believe/worship this dirty?
Dont get it. Sorry.

If you aint got 'faith' in this God then why should I?

[nailit]

//Dirty//?
I meant DEITY//
(Perhaps I was right the first time around....if you're a Marcionist Christian)

[JimF]

And onto the naughty step he goes! What's the point?

[Theland]

A time for quiet prayer Nailit?

[Peter Pedant]

erm strikes me as an obvious interpolation
to make things right
and to pump up the idea that the end of the world was well er nigh
I havent done the Greek
but there is a note in the internet version

"some early manuscripts do not have When evening comes … of the times."

oh dear dear signs of tampering with the evidence

[douglas9401]

Please don't address the end of the word as 'nigh', Peter. :-)

//A time for quiet prayer Nailit?//
You pray for me and I will think for you.
Deal?
