I dont know what Gods final plan will be,, there are many conditions put before us leading up to Armegeddon and I dont know if, like Adam and Eve, there is some alternative ending that may occur if those conditions arent met.


This is the scary part!!!

'... there are many conditions put before us leading up to Armegeddon...'

Believe what you may!!!

But when a large enough minority starts confusing a belief in some fuzzy form of Armageddon, a belief they can't even explain clearly, and confuse it with reality, THOSE PEOPLE start influencing reality. Nothing to do with 'god'. Everything to do with man's blind primitive and ideological nature.

To act like a zombie,
... suggesting that 'god's will, as stated in the book of fables, involves a 'BLOODBATH' in the zero of the sacred land,
... which itself, precedes a 'fabled - second coming', and using those fables to justify
... one's active participation in condoning the Israelo position in the Isrealo-Palestinian conflict,
... supporting the US military sponsoring of Isreal,
... the invasion and control of Arab nations for their resources,
... and suggesting that Muslims are 'evil', unless they agree with the christian fundamentalist dogma,

That represents the most potentially dangerous challenge the human race has ever faced, having to deal with the 'zero sum delusion' of the christian fundamentalist crusaders.

The more christian fundamentalists are going to claim that all those whom don't agree with their views are 'EVIL' and wrong, the more those made wrong are going to react.

And in the case of Muslims, the fundamentalist chapter of that greoup, is going to shout equally hard that it is christians that are all wrong.

How else does anyone expects them to react to such childish attacks founded on pure delusion???

Forget all those complicated 'bible fables' here.

Forget armageddon.

What we have here is a juvenile and primitive century old '... you're wrong! No, you're wrong!!!...' school yard brawl!!!

God's plan!!!

Give us a break.

This is nothing other than the most basic, primitive, tribal and barbaric man-made fiasco!!!
Where a minority of christian fundamentalist fanatics actually cheer for this 'LUNY' Armageddon, ... whatever their confused understanding of the concept might be.




may God be with you my friend. Just want you to know, whatever this world has done to turn you away from God and or make you a rough kind of person, that i love you and wish you the best in life and God be with you my friend.

God set us up to live in paradise, but we fell and the plans changed.


MsHarmony...can you explain.. if God is omniscient why he didn't see this happenning and had to change plans



I dont doubt he did know, I do believe he gave us dominion over all things of the earth and gave us everything we needed and set us up not to feel pain or go hungry or need shelter, with the one condition that the tree of knowledge not be bothered.


MsHarmony...that's kind of my point...if God was omniscient wouldn't he have known that Adam and Eve would bother the Tree of Knowledge

ROUGH KIND OF PERSON!!!

Wow 'cowboy'!!! You really have no clue!!! Get to know a person 'at least', before 'judging'.

- You and 'msharmony' are promoting and encouraging your 'god's plan of a 'BLOODBATH'.

- You both insinuate that this would be 'good', since it would accelerate your ascension to heaven (the chosen ones only of course).

- Furthermore, 'msharmony', finding this 'god-bloodbath' plan perfectly normal and logical, starts 'seeing' corollaries in reality, she writes : '... I dont know what Gods final plan will be, there are many conditions put before us leading up to Armegeddon...'.

And you call me the 'ROUGH KIND OF PERSON'!?!?!

In this thread, you and 'msharmony' give the impression that you are so intoxicated with this 'future life with your god', that you've lost all respect, all hope, and all trust in the human race and in life itself here on earth.

'Love your neighbor as you would yourself!!!'. If I were to suscribe to anything christian, that would be it.

And you see, without YOUR GOD, that is what I believe in.

I stand for human beings rising above this primitive and barbaric nature which could only end in 'bloodbaths'.

I believe without any proof for it, that decent and loving christian, jews, muslims, and atheists of all walks, will prevail over the 'ROUGH KIND' of 'ARMAGEDDON' obsessed lost christians, jews and muslims.
That the enlightened ones, will peacefully reason with the obsessed ones against building more housing in Jerusalem east, which would make any talks for reconciliation and peace most unlikely.

If your 'god' is waiting for anything at all, that would be what it is waiting for: 'man having found a way to truly trust, and love, and care for each other' on this earth.

May the love, the serenity, and the wisdom which lives in all of us humans, on this earth, be with YOU 'cowboy'.
Without those, for which we humans are 100% responsible, a 'god' of any description can't help you my friend.



P.S.: 'ROUGH KIND OF PERSON'!!! My grandkids would give you a real 'rough' time over that one!
You really should refrain from pontificating and hypocritical statements such as 'may god be with you' and 'I'll pray for you'. It doesn't forward your nobler intents. Besides, I am already blessed, and wish for no 'god' of yours, nor for your prayers. Neither are offered in earnest anyhow.

Why fear "God?"

The fear of "God" in my book is simply the knowledge of the law of cause and effect. There is nothing to fear but KARMA.

That is, we will bare the brunt of our ignorance, we will reap what we sow. We are the creators of our own doom.

Stop blaming it on some deity or devil. Take responsibility for your own actions and thoughts.

I havent lost hope or I would have no reason to live.

Not knowing what Gods final plan is neither encouraging or promoting a bloodbath or any other ending,,it is simply aknowledging that the 'ending' (or beginning depending upon perspective) will be Gods to implement.

War is bloody, any final war would realistically be as well. This is not evidence that I want a bloodbath, just acknowledgment of what it is to be in a war and a belief that there will be a FINAL war to end all wars and finally begin the process of eternal peace.

Why would you believe that there will be a "final war to end all wars?"
What would cause all wars to end? Probably only the death of everyone.

So you believe the human race will all be destroyed. If that is not an apocalypse I don't know what is. Why would you believe in that? Isn't that a bit extreme? Isn't that a loss of hope for mankind in general?

Peace? There can be no peace as long as people do not agree with each other. There can be no peace as long as people try to control and enslave other people. As long as people have "free will" they will disagree. If their "free will" is being threatened or controlled, they will fight for freedom.

People will always fight to be free.

Wars are a way of fighting to be free. I believe in a first and a last everything but I just dont necessarily perceive the end as others do. The end of one thing only means the beginning of another. I do believe these times of war, greed, hate , envy,etc,,,, will end and times of pure love can then begin. Its not the destruction of mankind as much as an end to the things that are destroying man.

idiocricy alive in the now, not the later.

illusion run amock, unpeace and tyranny alive in the now, simply due to the natural primtive human nature, to deny any possible negative about self, heard from itself, and voiced from voices outside of itself, thus allowing the brain to create and fabricate a belief in ANYTHING, that foster the notion of the self intellect and sanity as supreme, and somehow safer, because of what itself has chosen to believe in.

such things first created in the human will and ambition of motive, due to the overwhemling fear of many things feared, and not willing to face them as true, thus but seeking a "feeling" of safety for self from all the human motive wish to deny as possible truth.

for what need hope, as baseless faith, if itself realize itself be creating all that happen to itself and in the earth.

so, if self need hope, then it show it know not what itself need to know, about itself and it's own fellow man, for to create peace, one must first recognize what in itself destroy all peace, and steal it's own peace, to know what steal it from outside itself, if anything mortal wish to begin to execute soltion and true remedy for things happening outside itself in the "real world", but oh for the
snag that ensnare, for what try to create peace for itself, search in the dark for what does not exist, for peace is only peace if one wish to create it for more than just itself, or it shall perpetuate and propogate ALL THINGS that but allow peace to be stolen from itself and from all it meet in this human lifetime.

peace is only but caring about more than oneself, not because one has to, not because one was told such is good to do, not because of fear of some personal doom, but simply because self wish to, and the only true tell of the true motive, is caring when self get NOTHING IN RETURN, THE LESSON THAT 2012 SHALL TEACH ALL.

I don't think there will be an end to 'greed, hate, envy etc,' that will make way for 'pure love to begin.' Everyone grows at their own rate. Everyone is not the same and everyone will not become enlightened at the same time.

How does one learn to love? They learn through experience of all kinds and that has to include the experience of both pleasure and pain.

In a perfect world you would not learn much, because we learn by our mistakes. We learn not to hurt others because we have empathy for them. We have empathy or sympathy for them because we ourselves have been hurt.

There must be opposites in order to have a choice. There must be pain in order to appreciate pleasure. If there were only good, how would we know it was good if we have never known what we call 'evil?'

This world is a place where we learn how to love on another. In the song "nature boy" by Nat King Cole, the words were: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is to love and be loved in return."

"Why Fear God"

Because there are a bunch of books that describe him/her as pretty juvenile, mean, abusive, and irrational entity.

Dont know if you have heard of it, but a pretty popular one is called the Bible.

i agree completely with everything except the boundaries we are taught to believe about men. I do believe we can have good without bad, and I believe that we will. Perhaps we will not have need to label it good because it will just be so,,but I do believe it will be so.
