tell me where it said that he would make the date known. if its in revelation or the old testament it doesnt count.
What all athiests and conservative christians need to learn is that the bible is a mostly metaphorical device to teach people how to live in harmony with each other.
As for heaven, there are some that believe in it and some christians that dont.
genesis is in the old testament, therefore it doenst count? so god really never did make the world in 7 days? you're really going to say that an entire section of the bible doesnt count, but the others do? you dont pick and choose kid, you either believe it or you dont.
lol at that second statement.
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
and what about the new testament?
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. - 1 Timothy 2:12
Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. -1 Peter 2:18
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
slavery sure is harmonious when god tells the slaves to shut the fuck up and listen to their owners. so would telling your wife to make a damn sandwich.
i could go on and on and on, but i don't have time too post more because i gotta get ready for work..
and as for heaven, which some christians believe and some dont, isnt that saying something if people within a religion are divided on what they believe?
as you can see by this whole may 21st thing, christianity is a sketchy, pathetic, and outdated religion made as a device to control the public, and used today as a great way to make money.
and about where the bible says he would make the date known.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but
he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
if you're trying to get into a religious debate, post in the is god real thread and id be more than happy to give you a debate.
