Question

Do you believe that the world is coming to an end? In my previous few question about religion finally losing its grip , people said that in the BIBLE god said that will happen.

Answer 2

When the Bible speaks of the "world" being destroyed it is talking about mankind, specifically wicked man, not the literal earth. That is where people get mixed up. The Bible says Jehovah God created this world to be inhabited, he didn't create it for nothing. (Isaiah 45:18) In Noah's day it was the "ungodly men" that were destroyed; as you can see the earth is still here. (2 Peter 3:7)



When it comes to the issue of the authenticity of the Bible, if you look at the scripture at 1 Timothy 3:16 it lets us know that all scripture is inspired of God. Many discount the Bible and what it says, and these are the very same ones that haven't even cracked one open or have read a little bit and claim they already know all of its contents. They read a little and feel they have the right to say it has nothing important for us.



The Bible actually has in it the issue that was debated many years ago, the issue of shape of the earth. It had this long before this even became an issue. Isaiah 40:22 tells us that the earth is a circle. So the Bible had to be inspired by someone who knew the shape of the earth. No human could tell for many years.



Also there are prophesies that are foretold in the Bible that have already been fulfilled. Humans can't predict exactly what is going to happen to humans as a whole. There is only one person that can do this. One of those prophesies we see being fulfilled today. The one at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 where it tells us "that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves lovers of money...haughty...disobedient to parents...betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power." You have to agree that we see all of this and then some.

Answer 3

You ask a lot of really good questions.

"IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END?" Yes, the Bible does declare (through parables) that the world is coming to an end and that



"The Beginning Of The End Of This World Begins On MAY 21 2011"



"DO I BELIEVE GOD PREDICTED RELIGION WOULD LOSE IT'S GRIP?" Yes the Bible does declare (through parables) that the churches would all go apostate and would be ruled by Satan.



'DID WHOEVER WROTE THE BIBLE KNOW THEIR FICTITIOUS BS WOULD NOT HOLD UP FOR LONG?" Yes God (wrote the Bible) knew that the "FALSE GOSPELS" being taught by the churches (like an eternity of pain and suffering) would not hold up in the light of the truth of His word. When God makes a promise He must keep it. When God gives a command it must be obeyed. The truth of God's relationship to man is not coming out of the false teachings of the Church's and congregations but it is coming out of The Holy Bible. We can know that the Bible is the work of God because it is impossible for so many men to collaborate and create such a perfect piece of literature.

God Bless you and thank you for asking such great questions.

Answer 4

No. People are acting like idiots. In 3 years they will forget and claim it wasn't them and start freaking out about the next Apocalypse.



"whoever wrote the bible knew their fictitious BS would not hold up for long"



I wouldn't count on that--Jesus says right in the Bible the world will end within the life time of the people he's talking to--that hasn't stopped Christians, 2,000 years later, world still here...

Answer 5

Look, not EVERYTHING in the Bible may be correct. People have been arguing for years about what the original version actually said. It's very possible that the people who translated the Bible messed up or that other people tampered with the verses for their own purposes. Also, since you can't prove that God doesn't exist, you should restrain from making ignorant statements about religion being BS. If you can come up with a decent argument that I haven't heard before, I'll listen, but until then, it would be much smarter to keep those thoughts to yourself, or even SMARTER, research and procure evidence for your opinion before you even form it. And present it if you make statements about it.

Answer 6

No. The problem with most religions is when they invoke an unprovable supreme being to promote their own selfish agendas...like, "God wants us to do this, or God wants our country to be like that'. How the hell would they know? THAT is what the BS part is. Do they really think a much higher form of life cares for our petty squabbles and infantile territorialism? I don't think so. But at least I can say that I don't have the first clue what a deity wants...if they exist at all.

Answer 7

-They've been "Saying" That since Religions were Invented... And SOME Day, by Accident & FAR into the Future, they're finally going to be Right ! ;) But I wouldn't worry about it. Time passes. Religious beliefs come & go. But it really doesn't matter WHEN the World ends- as LONG as You're enjoying the Life your living TODAY !!! :)

Answer 8

I am a Sunday School Teacher for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and an ordained minister. Yes, I firmly believe that this planet will be transformed so dramatically that mortal physical death will occur for the vast majority of inhabitants of the planet. You can call this an end as well as a beginning. I love revelations and its symbolism and poetry. I do not believe in the literal line by line happenings of the book of revelations. Many religions have many different interpretations of what may or may not happen and when. I do know that we and also others worldwide are living in times and wickedness greater than the time of Sodom and Gomorrah.



The good news is that regardless of what may or may not happen in the future, we all have agency to choose our own actions in the present. These choices define us and make us who we truly are. Weather you believe in the "end of the world" so to speak is irrelevant; how you choose to handle every situation you find yourself in, IS.



Why do bad things happen?

1 We get to choose

2 Others get to choose

3 The terrestrial world does what it does

4 There are somethings we must learn while we are here and sometimes bad stuff is the only way to teach us.



I am only speaking for myself and do not represent any official doctrine in what I have written here. If you are interested in learning official LDS doctrine first go to www.mormon.org.

Answer 9

God didn't write the Bible. People did.



God doesn't say anything in the Bible. It only consists of what people think God said.



The Bible is nothing more than ancient water cooler gossip by a bunch of ignorant old men.
