Originally posted by galveston75It seems to be saying that you will not know when Jesus will return so you should remain ready regardless. Or were you referring to something else. You are being rather vague by saying Matt 24.
Go back to Matt 24 and tell me why those are not happening now?
What I don't see is what the connection is to what is happening now. Could you explain?

Anyway, Jesus himself said he did not know when the last day would be. He said that it would be like a thief in the night. Two men might be ploughing in a field and one suddenly will be taken up. Jesus warned his disciples against those who claimed to know when the last day would be. Such eschatological speculations are futile.

The boy scouts don't allow atheists to join. The Catholic Church doesn't allow atheists into the priesthood. Both groups have a problem with pedophilia. Hmmm...Perhaps if they actively recruited atheists into their ranks, their pedophilia problems would decline.

Originally posted by sh76Or don't allow boys in either group. If boys can't be boy scouts or Catholic, then the molestation rate of at least boys will be lowered.
