I believe that someone will someday get the day right. But they will not know what time of the day he will comeback.
Religious people cannot. Certainly not fundamentalists.

haha...all these morally superior Christians licking their chops and chasing their tails in excited anticipation of a great apocalypse that will teach us atheists a lesson. Funny stuff indeed >:]
We who are to "married" Christ take no delight in the punishment of the wicked. That is a side show just like a little taking out of the smelly garbage on the honeymoon night.
The real enjoyment is to be with Him and reign with Him. Atheists, don't flatter yourselves so much. You're just a little dead fly in the oinment, that's all, easily dealt with, easily discarded by the Lord.

I don't need to turn the heating on this morning as the love emanating from you this morning is enough?!

Originally posted by SwissGambitThere is no inconsistency between God so loving the world and giving the Son for its salvation and His righteous destruction of His enemies who refuse that salvation.
So much for "God so loved the world". 🙄
Make no mistake about it. With His enemies it is a matter of divine revenge:
" ... the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of His power, in flaming fire, rendering vengence to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His strength ..." (See 2 Thess. 1: 7-9)
We should not have a one sided view of the attributes of God. His love is not the sentimental permissiveness of a Dr. Spock. His love is a love with righteousness.
Yet to those who are reconciled from being His enemies, their judgment is passed. It occured on Calvary.
"For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled." (Rom. 5:10)
There is no inconsistency in "the kindness and severity of God."

So much for "God so loved the world". 🙄
Year after year you knew that God so loved the world that He gave His onlybegotten Son that whosever believes into Him might not perish but have eternal life.
Has that love softened your heart to ask Christ to be your Savior ?
I suspect it has not. So why do you roll your eyes around as if the offer is hypocritical ?
Be happy. You're getting what you want - the choice to not believe and not repent, to perish.

I don't know if any (real) scientist ever has set the date when sky will fall down. (What does that mean, by the way?) If I'm wrong, give references, please.
