I'm a christian too and I feel the same way. In the bible, it says that no one will know when the end of the world will come (it must not be this coming saturday...)

BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT

BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT

I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but I know that know one will know when the world will come simply because there is a passage in the bible that says that. I have faith in what the bible says (I think most of it is symbolic though). Unless you're Christian this all probably seems pretty illogical.

Well, if NO ONE is going to know when it happens, what happens if I'm saying "It's going to be today!" every single day? Then I would know it coming, and thus it wouldn't happen on that day.. Sure I would lie a lot, but meh.

 

[CubingCockney]

oh come on think about it. no disrespect to anyone but what truth is there in the bible? none!

 

[ElectricDoodie]

In the bible it says that no one knows what day the world will end, other than God. It says that not even Jesus himself knows this.

To me, I think these "I'm gonna say something stupid" Church's just do this to get publicity, like the other idiot who was going to burn the Quran.

There's a difference between actually "knowing" what day something is coming, and just stating the same thing every day, until the inevitable happens.

surely church's don't need publicity. There aim is to spread the message of god and don't forget that GOD IS IN EVERYONE! OOOOOOOOOOO SPOOKY! there is an infinite being inside of us all.

Yeah this is what I meant by my previous post... and I agree with you.

I disagree. The primary goal of every institution in the world is self-preservation.

I disagree. The primary goal of every institution in the world is self-preservation.

That's not a valid reason to disagree. "Primary goal" and "Aim" are not interchangeable. Multiple aims are possible. You are also incorrect, as spreading the word of god /is/ one of the aims of the church.

I also disagree with your unrelated statement. I don't think self-preservation was a key aspect of this group.

Nah, I'm just saying if nobody knows when is it, then who's to say it's not gonna be Saturday? ;P

It's a funny point, but not an accurate one, cause if you read the link you gave you'd have seen that they did what they did because they believed they could only survive by leaving the earth before a supposed 'recycling' wiped everything out.

 

[Zane_C]

Atheists will think "lol christians are being silly and idiots again. hilarious!"

From an atheist's point of view, I don't think this at all.
I'm well aware that all Christians are entitled to their own beliefs. (And everyone else for that matter.)

 

[BC1997]

Looking forward to the excuses afterwards.

I like the way you think, lol.

That's true. I was mainly disagreeing with his saying that churches don't need publicity, and then I sort of went off on a tangent

Good point. Your homework is finding an example that fits better.

 

[5BLD]

I agree with zane. This is nonsense in my opinion (I'm atheist btw). The bible isnt always meant to be taken literally right? I bet you this is all some sort of prank to scare people.
And, Yes, We Can! dont prejudge us atheists.

 

[Stefan]

Do you realize you're falsely generalizing about others falsely generalizing? Blaming others for what you should blame yourself?

 

[Yes We Can!]

I do now. The false generalizing by some people who are atheistic still happens, though.
I probably should have said "I hope some ignorant people won't think 'lol christians are being silly and idiots again. hilarious!'"
My post was badly worded.

I thought this video was dumb and funny. But it pretty much describes what Family Radio wants to do.. make money!
