steveorino 7 #26 April 19, 2006 QuoteActually, Revelations makes far more sense as a future tense allegory than Genesis does, but again, to me, makes no sense whatsoever looked at as an actual prediction of things to come. A preterist view would agree with you. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casurf1978 0 #27 April 19, 2006 QuoteWell, I saw a billboard on the side of the freeway this morning that said: "6-6-06 All the signs are out there." Pretty lame if you ask me that someone would believe it and pay to have a billboard tell everyone that the rapture is coming soon! Could it have been an advertisement for the 2006 version of The Omen. It's coming out on 20060606. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #28 April 20, 2006 Well, for those of them out there trying to say the scripture says a certain date, there's a verse that sates "no one knows the time or the day." I think, if I remember, its in Mathews. I can't remember off the top of my head now. Every year someone somewhere says they know the day or the time. Every year they're proven wrong.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #34 April 20, 2006 Quote6/6/06, the end of the world? Nope - only in America. The rest of the world writes their day/month dates the other way round. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devcloud 0 #35 April 20, 2006 This is quite true... but isn't the sixth day of the sixth month (the correct way :) ) and the sixth month on the sixth day (funny american way) Still the same date? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vpozzoli 0 #36 April 20, 2006 QuoteSo the only defense the universe has against ending is that people are idiots? That is kind of cool. Maybe idiots do have a purpose, after all. How funny would it be if we finally got rid of all the idiots, and then the world ended? Brent We should be perfectly safe as long as we do not get rid of the public phone sanitizers.

tbrown 26 #41 April 20, 2006 Quotedidn't happen june 6 1906, or june 6 1806, or june 6 1706. But then again, this is the approximate 2000th anniversary year of his death. . . oooEEEEEoooEEEEoooooo. . . Isn't either. If we're to believe Jesus died at age 33, it would've been in something like 26 - 33 AD, they can't seem to nail it down any closer than that (oh my god, did I say "nail" ?). A lot of people thought the world would end in AD 1000, and again in AD 2000. All this means is that somebody can afford a billboard campaign. Probably just some preacher who needs more donations to pay the diesel bill for his boat. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #43 April 20, 2006 I've been doing a lot of reading about this stuff. I don't think there will ever be a time when these idiots run out of reasons that the apocalypse will come on such & such a date. We thought the BS would be overwith after the millenium came & went, but noooooo. I've seen stuff for 2006, 2007, 2012, 2018, bla bla bla bla. It just never stops. There were books written saying it would be 1988, & it was backed up in the Bible, bla bla bla. 1998 also. I'm just assuming we're in the 7 year tribulation period right now, based on all the millenium predictions. The war in Iraq sucks, but overall, the Tribulation doesn't seem to be quite as bad as I had thought. I'm actually doing alright. (The only thing that sucks is I've got this harbor seal with 666 painted on the side of it, & I need to bring him with me whenever I want to buy or sell anything. Fucking one-world antichrist government regulations. hey, it's the government, it's not supposed to make sense) But apart from that, my life is pretty good!So what about the rest of you? How has the Apocalypse & Tribulation been treating you?? Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hairyjuan 0 #44 April 22, 2006 if you knew how to read the bible, you would know that every story in it is nothing more than ALLEGORY for the zodiac, it is this simple, jesus is the SUN(in the sky), the twelve disciples are symbolic of the twelve signs of the ZODIAC.

hairyjuan 0 #45 April 22, 2006 if you knew how to read the 'bible' you would know it is mere ALLEGORY for the ZODIAC. jesus is the SUN(in the sky), the disciples represent the twelve signs of the Zodiac. ancient egytian records make no mention of the Isrealites being in bondage at any time in its history! one tiny example of a very BIG LIE.
