Judgement – Now or In the Distant Future?

[Elderman]

So we are almost 2,000 years off in their reckoning when they asked Jesus: “Lord, are you restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” (Acts 1:6) Yet while on earth, even Jesus did not know the exact time, for he said: “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father.” (Mark 13:32) But what he did know, however, was the time period during which judgment would occur.

The world may say, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die,’ but this must not be your attitude. Why strive in vain for what pleasures you can get out of life now when you can work for an eternal future? Is no dream, no fantasy. It is a reality promised by the God (Titus 1:2) The evidence is overwhelming.

I don't think you're alone, Murraymints. Being lost is par for the course when Elderman's around. Funny really. He thinks he's showing us the way. :o)

[boxtops]

What an insult, there are a great many God-fearing people on here - it may not be the same faith, it's certainly not the church of cut and paste, but that's an insult to members who believe their own beliefs and don't keep banging on about them.

and shanghi is following him, trying to shanghai us into becoming JWs

With their lack of innovative thought and mindless blindness, they may even run into the watchtower. As the old saying goes, "even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time."

[murraymints]

Boxy...Amen...

[naomi24]

What insult Boxy? Like Murraymints, I'm lost.

[naomi24]

Oh! I see Murraymints is not as lost as I am. :o/

[murraymints]

Naomi...but then I was found..was blind but now I see...hee hee...that, i am afraid, is my late night attempt at depth and brevity....still lost really...

[naomi24]

Phew! That's a relief! At least I'm not entirely alone. :o)

[DTCwordfan]

I'm now lost but I have my nuts, I think....

[murraymints]

Cadburys took 'em and covered 'em in chocolate..!!!

What happened to Shanghi's post?
Concerning your answer to me, Shanghi, you were coherent, courteous and to the point, so disproving a claim on another thread that you are Elderman. You didn't mention Bro. Rutherford, a particularly unpleasant man if you judge (no pun intended) by what he wrote. I doubt, though, that you have read any of his stuff, have you?
By the way, do JWs still believe that Christ returned invisibly in 1914, or has that doctrine been scrapped along with parallel dispensations and pyramidology?

[naomi24]

I just checked his profile and it seems he's dangling.

[Davethedog]

I was lost but now I am found, but my wife won't let drink anymore

[redman41]

There was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled.
This time was called the Dark Ages.

[DTCwordfan]

Thank you whoever reported shanghi ....I was ok with the insult, it wasjust pathetic and only a manifestattion of when you have annoyed these ijiuts.
I see both shaghi and elderman are suspended - guess they are the same person then.....wouldn't surprise me.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Dave, stand up for yourself.
DT, Shanghi can't be Elderman for the reasons given in my post.

[sith123]

as a muslim you have no clear cut view of when the world will end, however a lot of the signs that signal it have come but there are still a few more to come.

[naomi24]

^^ That sounds like a good bet. ;o)

[sith123]

ok...
