| If you can choose a time for Jesus to return, when would it be?
Posted: 1/21/2006 9:34:09 PM | Right Now... We've waited too long already.
I disagree that some of the world doesn't know about Jesus. Missionaries, Human Service Groups, & Foster Care type programs have been going around the world for decades now preaching the gospel to even the remote tribes. Many have heard of Jesus...they just don't care to believe it because they have thier own system of beliefs. As for those who are "civilized"...well, internet, tv, & radio have made it abundantly clear about Jesus also. | |

Take the Tsunami as an example. People, lives, villages, of people were washed away that we didn't even know exsisted. These are people that live in mud houses...so I doubt they have any technology that would bring them any news, let alone religious news.
True technology hasn't reached a lot of places , But i know someone personally that was there from our church sharing the news of God the day that Tsunami hit . | |

Hu? It was mostly along the coast and 1/4 of the people who died were tourists. Sure a decent amount of other people who weren't at the beaches, which had a decent level of technology, died, but they sure as hell didn't live in mud houses. If anything they intentionally kept themselves isolated for whatever reason and that was only on the small islands that got hit.
Oh and I found a site which states how jesus will return. It makes perfect sense too.

I watched a show recently on the discovery channel that showed where a great number of people lived that was hit by the Tsunami...and a majority of those places were places that had (because they were wiped out) mud houses. I'm not talking about the highly publisized tourist areas...I'm talking about the highly UN publisized normal areas where people lived. I beleive they said that the Tsunami more than likely wiped out islands that we didn't even know exsisted. Or wiped out people that we didn't know exsisted on these islands. That's the problem with the media, people, etc. We all look at the big picture. We say "wow all of those tourists in those tourist areas"....and what about the people that lived 20 miles outside of those areas in mud houses? Again...I'm not saying everyone...I am saying alot of the people that lived outside the tourist areas.
If anything they intentionally kept themselves isolated for whatever reason and that was only on the small islands that got hit.
Intentionally isolated? Wow. So I assume all the poor folks in Africa are keeping themselves intentionally isolated than too right? It's unfortunantely a thing called being poor, underprivileged..not having the means or resources? It's a known fact that outside of the tourist areas that the tsunami hit, they were poor and desolate areas. Anyways..this isn't a thread on the Tsunami...but I suggest if you want to discuss the issue, you better read up on it a little more and get your facts straight on the issue. Because unfortunately you are way off. | |

By intentionally I mean they don't actively pool their resources to connect with the world because they need said resources to survive.
Fair enough..but it's like you are faulting them for placing their famillies before connecting with the rest of the world. I'd rather have a roof over my head *even if is is mud and straw* and food in my kids belly than jerry springer on my tv. | |

I agree with you on that. And even if they DID want to go to a place where they make good money, have the best for their kids and themselves... where would they get the $$$ to do that? It's expensive for someone who has a good job and IS making a living to do all they can, let alone someone who's living in poverty. | |

Posted: 1/22/2006 9:07:59 AM | | sweet, all situations can be improved, you just have to do it. Sometimes it's more difficult then you can handle, but it is always possible. Besides, it's not like some supreme being is making them poor. The problem is made by man and thus man can solve it. | |

I really really have to disagree with this. Because I'm not talking about the homeless guy that lives in the streets of Manhatten who can go to a soup kitchen for lunch and has the help there to him should he decide he wants it. I'm talking about people that are poor and live in remote islands, countires, etc that don't have things at their disposal. Anyways.... again...I'm not gonna hijack this thread so I won't be commenting any further. | |

Posted: 1/22/2006 10:18:53 AM | | You know this thread got me thinking: if people are so anxious to go to meet god, why don't we all just nuke the planet? Everyone would die and everyone who deserves to go to heaven (mostly those who want jesus here now) will go to heaven and everyone will be happy. | |

Posted: 1/22/2006 12:30:38 PM | | Good questions. Why don't people just do that Lord Dave? Either because it isn't "humane" or what. Personally, I think of my neice and nephew and want to see them grow up to be the best they can. Who knows though. It just might come down to that one day... | |

Posted: 1/22/2006 12:55:51 PM | | Hey I want my niece to grow up, but if Jesus comes, they won't. They'll just go to heaven. Infact if jesus ever does return, there are going to be alot of children who will never grow up. Is that really fair? I don't think so. | |

Posted: 1/22/2006 1:09:23 PM | Dave-not to be disrespectfull but I just cannot help but tell you to lay off the thinking for a bit.
Nuke the world to get it over with?

Well, that's why it's up to God. God didn't put us on this earth to forget Him. He planted eternity in the hearts of man. This isn't all there is to life. Life hasn't even begun. The only consolation I have to what you said is knowing that they will be with the LORD, and never have to face the stuggles of life and they then know that they are loved and will always be loved. Heh, that's my only consolation to myself   | |

I don't know a time, But I for one am not ready, nor are alot of other ppl.
Sure I could say NOW but that would not be my true feelings, other ppl that I care about and those I may not know, need also to know what's up, otherwise I am being selfish. *sigh* | |

Posted: 1/22/2006 3:39:31 PM | jankia: Essentially I ment that if/when jesus does come back the world will end right? Life as we know it will cease. Thus anyone who hasn't had a chance to expereince this life will never be able to.
ASB: I don't see that as a conselation. After all, what happens when someone grows up without any hardships at all? They become spoiled and lazy. Hardships and challenges are what make life worth living and it shapes who we are. Frankly I'd hate to see anyone given such an easy existance without having to work for it. | |
