AlexCrowley 0 #51 January 3, 2006 I stopped worrying about that way before now. I meant my humanity and intelligence. After responding to this even more so. TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steveorino 7 #54 January 4, 2006 I'm not too keen on when ... seems neither was Jesus ... No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Matthew 24:36 As a Christian, I can barely stomach all the end of the world "prophets". Too much glee that the rest of the world (unsaved) will go to hell. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #55 January 4, 2006 That depends on what you mean by "the world" - do you mean the human race, the universe, or something else? Well, not that we can predict when any of that will end; however, I do think that the human race will die off at some point, but that the universe itself (meaning "all matter and energy") is infinite. Of course, part of the vanity in human nature is that we tend to think of ourselves as "the world." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #56 January 4, 2006 In that book by Drosnin (bible codes), his predictions were 2000 for the beginning of the apocalypse. Now he's predicting 2006 for the start of it, (and I think he mentioned something about nuclear attacks), corresponding to the year 5766 in the Jewish calendar. This year would not end on Dec. 31, but on the eve of Rosh Hoshannah, October 5th 2006 (to correspond with the original, Jewish calendar). So we only have 8 months, not 12. If this is the thing chuteless is always talking about for 2006, it is supposed to happen by then. we shall see... MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!

happythoughts 0 #64 January 5, 2006 QuoteIn that book by Drosnin (bible codes), his predictions were 2000 for the beginning of the apocalypse. Now he's predicting 2006 In Florida, there was a big-time martial arts event organizer. Once a year, he had a huge tournament. Then he got some religion. Then, each July, he would announce the end-of-the-world date again. He started having an annual religious event. Alarmism is a great business. There are a lot of different flavors of it out there. Nuclear fallout shelters and freeze-dried foods were an industry for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
