A Question For Christians
« on: April 25, 2016, 11:34:53 AM »
The one thing Christians find hard is to answer questions.Here are two questions they will all disagree with or rather not answer.So Christians have a go at these two questions.

 1 When did time begin according to the bible,please give scriptures and reasons.

 2 When will time end according to the bible,please give scriptures and reasons.

Those two questions are as long as a piece of string, therefore Christians will give you different answers depending on whether they are Biblical literalists or not.

I think the reason is far more likely to be that they find you a pain in the arse, and leave you to get on with it.  :)

I think not - others have replied here, as they are entitled to do, so if I move this thread to FSA I'd have to lose all but your OP, which does seem unfair to those who have replied in this thread.

I suggest you re-post your OP on FSA, for the benefit of any Christians who want to reply, and if you aren't contributing to this thread then it will fairly quickly fall down the order.

Put this nonsense in the faith-sharing section..  ~twubble U~ ain't looking for answers, just confirmation.

The faith sharing section is for those who have the answer but think the rest of us don't.

I was under the impression that this section was to debate certain questions...

It started when God called the universe into being.  'Sadly', the scriptures do not provide a specific time, day or year.

It will end on the day that Jesus returns in glory.  Again, the scriptures give no specific time, day or year for this.
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

Just as well. It's the only thing that allows the terminally credulous to keep peddling such tripe.

Even fringe crank grous such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and Harold Camping's crew never learn - it's always "The world is going to end at x_______." (World conspicuously fails to end). "No, we actually meant x_______." (World remains resolutely unended). "No, no, it was actually x_______ ......"
Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

I'm sure you could work it out given the authority behind the book. The Truth must be in there somewhere?

Apart from the fact that it is clearly written that this event was to happen within the lifetime of the original readers, or within a generation of those who heard the original message... An event long, long, long gone!

The authority behind the book has clearly chosen not the give that information.

And where do you get that from, Thrud?  Paul's or some other author's writings or Jesus' teaching?  If you can understand the Bible as well as you claim to be able to, why aren't you a Christian?
