    Why do you think there is so much disaster in the news, especially lately???

    I know what I think, I was just wondering what everyone else thinks?

    God has given us warning of this coming storm. But there is also hope, the promise made by christ"After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back" The Bible says that hes going to return in triumph.Vitually everything has been fulfilled that was prophesied in the Bible leading up to the coming of christ. We know his coming is near.

    True, but this began in the last century in 1914.
    Woodrow Wilson called it the war to end wars
    The Bible said it was the beginning of pangs of distress.
    People are turning away from God and the more that happens the more His turning away from us will occur.

    Actually, more people have turned back to God. That's why the world is not going to suffer in the manner as is prophesied. My proof for this will be shown over the coming 2 years. :)

    Over the world this is true but here in the USA I'm not sure about that.

    We will still have sever weather but there will be no ultimate destruction of mankind. The world as we know it will change but we will survive. I know you don't see it but even here in the US, people have turned back to God, no matter how they view Him, they've turned back to Him.

    People make their own god though and that won't work.

    God accepts any name. He's not particular. As long as one believes in the Creator, the name really doesn't matter.

    And that Jesus was his son!
    Sorry thats the Bible thumping fundamentalist coming out in me.

    Yes but Jesus was not his birth name, was it? A name is a name, it does not define God ;)

    Yahushua, was the Hebrew name, it did lose something in the translation but still the son of God.

    i thought yahushua was the hebrew name for jesus

    Yes, daren, thats what I said.......lol

    What a beautiful name in Hebrew or English.Has a wonderful sound.:)
    How about - the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Nobody has said that one yet!

    Lol, part of the answer is removing God from our society, schools, and government. I understand the original meaning of,"separation of church and state."
    Colleen

    Right. separation of CHURCH and state...meaning no secular religion being part of our governing process . God SHOULD be included in our government. GOD, not religion. Our government has to figure out the difference in the two. Once they do that, God will be acknowledged in the government again. We will have a president soon who will be able to do this.

    That began in 1914

    Could it just be that we are getting closer to the end of days, and the enemy knows his time is short? What makes you think the four horsemen are riding?
    I think we're in the end times, b/c the bible ( I think it's in Matthew )...says that when we have floods, fires, hurricanes, wars and rumors of wars, and when men lay with men, then we will be in the end times. Look at the widespread forest fires in Arizona.....they were set by a man. That shows the innate evil of man.

    We've had those natural disasters throughout all history. Some men have been laying with men since before the new testament. Please are you really going to pull homosexuality as another reason for the biblical end of the world. God should have destroyed mankind long before now if that was the case.
    daren1

    god did destroy mankind once before...as well as many civilizations

    If you believe the tales of the bible. Do you really believe we restarted through Noah and his family? Of course you do. Silly question.

    Sorry, I do not believe we started from Adam and Eve or restarted from Noah and company. I do not believe there was a world wide flood and Noah traipsed the globe bringing animals into a desert where most could not have survived, especially with not enough food and water before the flood arrived.

    Homosexuality will not bring about world destruction for f*ck sake. Sh!t like this is what gets homosexuals killed because fanatics think they need to save the world by killing gays. What's wrong with you people who continue to promote this LIE?
    its called instant global communication! when all of this stuff was happening before the mobile phone, facebook, twitter, personal computers etc. nobody knew or really cared! now that its shoved in our faces a nano second after anything happens you guys get all biblical!
    this nasty stuff has been happening all the time!

    the only really semi peaceful time we have had recently, was between the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the twin towers! did anyone notice? ;-)
    I think the government has told the media to focus on all natural disasters that they can find to make it all look big and bad so the people can be scared and more easily led and controlled. I think the government is using the biblical prophesy about the ending of the world to fuel it's own agenda of absolute control over the people.

    I know this is off subject, but I haven't been here for a day or two, and I have about 500 votes left, don't you think when they give us so many we vote up more and don't value our votes as much?

    Colleen

    Moderator
    Yes, I do think so but when they limited the votes, there was an outcry against it. I'll try to remember to check into it but I THINK they gave senior members (higher karma than the rest) more available votes because they believe the older members understand the system better.
    That's because they,the journalists, focus on those things. The television stations want to make the most out the news progam. Disasters have always been with us.
    Horror sells.
    I agree with the answers so far, but there is something more Biblical I'm wondering if anyone knows what I'm referring to? No complex question is easily answered, there are many factors involved to a question like this.

    Leeroy ! Are you referring to what Jesus said in the last days my words will go to all the world?

    Upwards of 20 million people are gathering this summer in football stadiums and arenas for a global announcement concering the incoming Kingdom of God.
    You can learn about this at https://www.jw-media.org
    You can also obtain a free copy of the book what does the bible really teach. You will find that the scriptures are totally different to what most people have been brought up to believe. So you have to be open mindede and double check everything.

    Best wishes.
    leeroy

    I believe I an very open minded, like you say, I'll check it out.
    leeroy

    Well, I checked it out, I can't really in good conscience partake in a religion that most Christian religions consider to be a cult. I understand you you fervor for you beliefs, but personally I can't go anywhere near a cult unless it is just to study it. Sorry no offense meant...
    I also believe most of these ans I've read,are corrected,now with the media easily asses,only confirm what the bible predicted,but I must add time will only worsen,this is only the beginning of sorrow.
    Maybe because , bad news, sells more papers. than good news.

    Great answers so far, thanks everyone.
    It might be some sort of planetary cycle the earth is going thru and ion the other hand it might be the almighty calling us to attention who knows
    Ww have turned our backs on God as a world, and he promised us that things would be this way. Only if we turn back as a nation and ask forgiveness and honor Him, will things get better.
    We are also getting closer to the last days. Read your Bible..
