Jambo-Jimbo Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 http://www.inthebeginning.com/articles/norway1968.htm What about these visions possibly coming true? Why do you ask for people's opinion when you clearly believe in all this sort of stuff already? 13 pages and you are still asking folk what they think when 95+% have told you that it's a pile of cack, but you still persist in posting this stuff and asking what people think, you have been told what people think. I told you the writers of back to the future II have gotten more things right about the future than any link you've posted, but still you persist. If you want to believe in this sort of stuff that's fine by me, that's up to you, myself and the majority of the other posters on this thread don't, you've got your answer so why keep asking? Oh and by the way The World is still here it hasn't ended despite what some crackpots might say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the world ends, no amount of discussion on a football website is going to change anything, we're all sinners, we're all (the vast majority anyway) going to face some awful fate or another. But if you're not one of these apocalyptic chaps, it seems like a right waste of time to be worrying about it as human beings can't tell the ****ing future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niblick1874 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 There were giants in the earth in those days. Some claim the Smithsonian Institution have destroyed a lot of the evidence. Very easily debunked because of fakes (as in UFO's), however I think there are some clams that deserve a closer look. Some say they are the elephant the room as in fallen angels. maybe it's one of those things that need DNA analyses and for the MSM to come out with the results. One thing's for sure, if you bring the subject up it's a surprise to find so many have never heard about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddley Walker Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The reason know one knows about it is because it's unsubstantiated nonsense based on anecdotal lies by unreliable sources. Giants aren't real man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Earlier in this thread I predicted what I think will happen in the next 25 years, the law of probability would dictate that at least 50% would be somewhere close enough for me to able to claim them as predicted correctly.

The end times, to some Christians, means the start of a period of tribulation during which most of life on earth will be destroyed. Then Jesus will come back and destroy the anti-Christ, after which everybody left standing (only true Christians) will live happily ever after. At least, that's what I remember from Sunday school many, many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Tried to find the "last Christmas" comment from a single reliable news source, as it really doesn't sound like something Francis would say. Can't find a single one that isn't a discussion board or some kind of "truth finder" blog full of nuts. Best I can find is some prayer for people for whom this might be their last Christmas, but even that's not well reported. The biblical scholars I get to chat with on a regular basis are pretty adamant that at the time the book of Revelations was intended as a kind of metaphorical warning involving the political situations of the day. Taking it literally today is a bit like people 1,000 years from now declaring that in the 20th century people thought animals could walk and talk and foment social revolution because of the popularity of Orwell's Animal Farm or that people thought tornadoes were a gateway to a magical land because of the Wizard of Oz.

There are many people who believe that the Bible is literally the word of God, and that any suggestion of metaphor or allegory is mistaken. There certainly are quite a lot of people who believe that (as discussions on here have shown), but there's a history to that belief, and it's a lot less ancient than many people like to claim (it has a lot to do with resisting authoritarianism of Renaissance Popes). The guy who wrote this book usually attends my church. I'm not a biblical scholar, I haven't read this, and I haven't spoken to Brian about this particular issue, but I have chatted about this with a bunch of Union Presbyterian Seminary students I get to drink beer with on a regular basis and they've chatted with Brian about it, and that's what they all tell me. http://www.amazon.com/Revelation-Commentary-New-Testament-Library/dp/0664221211 People believe different things.

There are a lot of American kinds of Christianity. I happen to be Presbyterian, which is of course a fairly Scottish form but has its own 'murican-ness about it as well. We have to deal with a lot of both fundamentalists and evangelicals, many of whom are perfectly nice people one-on-one but with whom I disagree about a huge number of things, and think their beliefs are damaging both to the church and to society as a whole. Presbyterians are pretty obsessed with scripture and it often gets referred to as the Word of God, but the majority of American Presbyterians consider it to be as written by human intermediaries who were inherently imperfect. (I personally don't call scripture the Word of God and the wife hasn't excommunicated me yet...)
