keep hearing conspiracy nuts and christian fundies telling us about the end times and how there is going to be a one world religion,
Can you tell me what that religion is please?
Becausewhen nailit asked the question I'd have thought it was an invitation for anyone to give their views?
For ME (my choice) I believe it to be true, (though yes of course as a Christian I am naturally biased towards biblical verses .... just the same as as a Muslims would be towards the Koran or a Hindu's towards the Veda's).
I presumed opinions of all sorts are welcome on AB?
Eve, You may believe what you like - and yes, all opinions are welcome here. Just don’t expect to post what you know to be biased reporting and assume you’ll be taken seriously. Biased reporting isn’t honest reporting - whichever way the bias leans.
eve - // I presumed opinions of all sorts are welcome on AB? //
They absolutely are, the more the merrier.
Of course, if you are a regular, you will know that evasion, preaching, judging, looking down, pomposity, arrogance, ignorance, posturing, and overall undeserved superiority, get short shrift from the regulars.
Avoid those, and I am absolutely certain you will, and you will be a welcome addition to the daily struggle.
Naomi, you're a joke.
Bias?
Young earth creationists?
So what?
Are their views on the end times one world religion wrong because you disagree with some other aspect of their belief?
Who is more biased than you?
You attack every view put forward and offer nothing in return.
A joke.
As for you laughing out loud at my response above at 00:33,
What is funny?
The world is full of problems, we do what we can, where we can, for who we can, to try making it a better place.
I can't cure childrens cancer, but I can donate, and help others where I can.

Yes, I think 'snidey' is exactly the adjective for your nasty insulting posts to people you don't agree with.
Mark 16:18
''they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.''
John 14:12, KJV:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
Theland - // Naomi, I encourage conflict?
Wow!
You know nothing.
This is not a serious discussion, its just a sounding board for you, an empty vessel. //
//Nailit, good question, there is an answer, I'm sure, bit I'm not jumping ahead of myself//
But youve been studying the Bible for 39 years. Havnt you ever questioned THESE prophecies?
Jesus prophesied that believers would lay hands on the sick and they SHALL recover, no ifs or butts.
He prophesied that believers would do GREATER things than himself.
It doesnt happen. Ive attended hundreds (if not thousands) of meetings where these verses...and others...are preached and people are invited to accept healing etc.
Never seen the dead bought back to life (Lazarus) or a (confirmed) case of terminal cancer cured or a severed limb grow back. But this is exactly what jesus promised would happen.
Why arnt the Christians that actually believe this, in cancer wards, hospices, and kids hospitals showing us the reality of their saviours words.
(instead of watching you tube vids all day long in order to validate their beliefs)
What The Funicular are you waiting for?
Go cure some kids with cancer,
or some amputees,
or some people in hospices,
Hell, cure my mum. Jesus promised you would if you had faith!!
Have you got faith?
Maybe not...
nailit, sorry, I've only just come back to this thread. In answer to your question regarding the New Testament, I've read it in its entirety three times. First time as a child I had to read from it each night before sleeping. Secondly, the Sunday School teacher gave it to us as homework and we were tested on the following Sundays. Thirdly, as an adult to make certain I hadn't misread it on the first two occasions. It confirmed my original opinion that it was written by men to control people of lesser intelligence than themselves. It is totally inconsistent, I cannot comprehend why so many still believe it.
