You know as well as anyone that none of us know when he is returning... As we pointed out in another sky is falling thread, society is as good as it has EVER been historically... It's just publicized more now.
Scriptures say we are not ignorant to the signs of His coming, T And if you are saying that the murder of millions of babies every year and the unrest in Israel as well as other sins being readily accepted equates to society is better than ever...I do not really know what to say to you....other than I KNOW your parents taught you better than that...
Using your logic why didn't Jesus return during medieval times when Kings would have thousands of babies murdered at the off chance they were the bastard child of a rival to the throne? When women and children were raped and pillaged and sold into slavery as their villages were burned to the ground. When people delivered a fathers head to the son to send a message? My parents taught me extremely well, they taught me to use some common sense and not jump to drastic conclusions... And my parents aren't even really religious on that note. I found Jesus on my own terms when I left for college my freshman year.
That's off topic though so I'll leave it at that. It'll be interesting to see how Russia and US handle this moving forward from a PR standpoint. Neither side can afford to cut the other off financially or much less go to war..
thousands ....we are doing it exponentially today and it is EVERYWHERE.... look at the prophecies in the Scriptures....it's getting WORSE.... Sorry about the hijack....I will shutteth my mouth now :D
I agree. Jesus is coming somewhere between tomorrow and 5000 years from now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I wasn't actually saying you said that. I was asking for solutions and just had you quoted. Sorry. As for tony. I won't quote you but I will say it's only getting exponentially bigger because we have an exponentially bigger civilization. Can't say the death rates are any better, we are however living longer. Not quite sure its worse than it was thousands of years ago as I don't see slaves being slaughtered and raped on a massive scale like the Egyptian and Romans lived. Jesus should've stepped in when stalin killed 36 million people. Or when Hitler killed 12 million not including soldiers, maybe when mao killed I don't know how many millions or pol Pot and the king of belgium and their genocides. No, it's because a plane crashed and killed a few hundred. That's the sign Jesus has been waiting for to come down and save us, that is the sign for the end of times. Have you done any research into statistics into this ? Or is it just how you're feeling and perceiving.
The earth is supposed to last another 5 billion years or so. If he doesn't get here by then, he'll have to show up somewhere else.
Society really isn't that bad. People don't realize how barbaric life used to be. They also don't realize how many terrible things happened in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's that weren't tweeted on the Internet and posted onto YouTube right away. African Americans were getting lynched in the south not that long ago. Countries still had slaverly. The holocaust. The Russian Genocide. Honesty, we have it pretty good. Jesus is coming, but I don't think it will be anytime soon. There is no antichrist shooting nukes at cities currently.
And for the record. I will never fly Malashian Airlines. Disapearing and getting blown out of the sky doesn't sound fun.
Fair enough. What I was suggesting was to have our CIA Counterterrorism Center provide whatever resources necessary to help the country where the incident happened bring in the people who did it. That's really all that can be done, especially right now with the lack of details. All I know is, no one will by flying Malaysian Airlines anymore...except this guy ^^^
Not recommended, unless we are asked to help. And IMHO, the asking coming from Russia would be the only case I would offer...Since Russia also is reestablishing a foothold in Cuba and just forgave most of their Cuban debt.. ~Bill
International cooperation is harder than you think. We have a hard enough time doing it between our own branches. International is even harder and lending resources hits an even bigger hurdle. Especially with Russia or ukraine since we can't share ALOT with them. I don't have a solution and I'm just nit picking yours.
