Amen and Amen Abraham Lincoln said this “He who represents himself has a fool for a client” So the same cane be said for susanblange as she has her own version of how to be saved and who is who in the bible interpreted by her. Truly sad indeed. So for susan one could say "She who interprets the bible for herself has a fool for a student"

The End is Nigh: Ten Reasons Why (continued...)

10. Convergence: While each generation could claim one or two from this list, none but ours could claim all of them. The sad fact is that this list is hardly comprehensive at all. There are so many more things pointing to the soon return of Christ that written space here does not allow for. Daniel was told that the end would come as a flood, and a flood-indeed it is (Daniel 9:26). However, it is not only the convergence of signs that is noteworthy; there is also the convergence of believers all coming to the same conclusions.

At no point in church history, has so many believers from so many spectrums all been so convinced that we are living in the last days. I believe this speaks to the Holy Spirit’s witness to us all who are awake and watching. Granted, most of the mainstream and aberrant churches and movements (Emergent, Hebrew-roots, Social Justice Gospel, Prosperity Gospel, Seeker-Sensitive, etc.) are sound asleep; however, the watchers are not. We may disagree on some of the finer points of eschatology; but we all generally agree that these are what the Bible describes as the last days.

With this in mind, I would like to share the good news of Salvation in Jesus Christ. It’s as simple as ABC:

A is for Admit you’re a sinner
Romans 3:23: For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

B is for Believe
Romans 10:9-10: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

C is for Call
Romans 10:13: For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
b The End is Nigh: Ten Reasons Why /b I (contin... (show quote)

Oh lordy. More "end times" nonsense. You should talk to the JWs; their "end times" was supposed to happen in 1914; then in 1925; then in 1975; then Family Radio announced the end of the "church age" in 1988, and the "end" was certainly going to happen in May, 2008; then again in October 2008.

So what's the next projection?

Hmm... I thought the Son was co-equal with the Father. How is it that the Son is evidently out of the loop?

To you it is nonsense to the believer it is fact and hope in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If you notice we are not predicting the day and/or hour we are only looking at the world in general and comparing that image to what the scriptures tell us it will be when the Lord returns is all. Even Jesus said in his earthly ministry that he didn't know and the angels didn't know only his father which was in heaven knew the day and the hour of his return. Now does that satisfy you?

I would highly recommend that you get the book by Dr. David Jeremiah. "Escape the coming Night". This is a lesson in Revelation. His insight opens the door to true understanding. In this book you will discover who the two prophets are. One is repentance, the other is the law. Revelation is the only book of the Bible that says the reader, student, seeker of the truth will be blessed. The reason, you can not read Revelation without reading the whole Gospel.

Unfortunately, only a minority of the Church Fathers at Nicaea voted to exclude Revelation from the canon as being too esoteric, and frankly weird.

No. Then what's all this noise about "signs" that the "end times" are upon us? Redhots have been saying that for centuries. The cathedrals and churches were jammed on Dec. 31, 999, because everyone thought the jig was up at midnight.

I believe that is before the catholic church fully got its teeth into it then but not sure. I am not that much of a buff on church history I know what I believe and that is it.

The books of Daniel and Ezekiel gio a long with Revelation as well and they are old testament books and I believe that there are more but it has been a long time ago that I took the class on Revelation.

There wasn't really a "Catholic" church till the East broke away in 1053. It was all the CHRISTIAN church.

In 1053 the pope in Rome, and the patriarch in Constantinople excommunicated each other, and things went from bad to worse.

Paul VI and Partriarch Anthenagoras lifted the mutual excommunications, and everything got better.
