And I am not looking for the lame answer of "We are not alone God is in our hearts."  I mean really why has he not done anything to stop all the bad in the world?  If alot of my "childeren" were getting hurt and put down for beliving in me I would come back to them alot quicker then 2006 years.  Also don't go lame with the "God's time is different then ours" either.  Cause supposedly God knows everything so he knows how fast time goes by for us.

I am not a great believer in the God theory, so I'm not surprised that he/she hasn't been back since the old biblical days.\nIf there is a God, perhaps he doesn't like what he sees, and has washed his hands of the whole mess.

Our God is awesome. He will bring love, peace and harmony to all when the right time comes. For those people who don't believe in him, well lets just say that you better be wise to his amazing works and what power he has to change your life around if you have a little faith. My mom and i are very heavy into the bible. I'm not a big church person but i know he is there and he helps us whenever we need him and we have to do is believe. So yes God will bring peace to this earth and once his son jesus comes back all the people who didn't ever believe in them will get a serious wake up call. I love it when people ask these questions. They have more questions like this then any other. God Bless You

It is very sad. Anyone who does a good amount of reading on ethics will know better. Christians tend to not read good books. They just accept the beliefs they were raised with and stick to them out of loyalty, fear, and familiarity. A lot of people don't like to think that what their parents taught them was wrong. A lot of people also have a very hard time dealing with mortality without a belief in a Heaven and benevolent god waiting for them. The truth is, we really just do not know what happens. There could be a deeper purpose to our being here. There could of been an intelligence behind what is. I would never say there definitely is or is not. On the same token though I can see the works or man from a mile away. The Bible wreaks of man, and all his fears. It's far too obvious that a god had nothing to do with what's in that book. I can can spot it just like I can spot the hand writing of a three year old. It's a shame others have such a hard time seeing this. I think this goes beyond their intelligence or lack thereof. It comes from a much deeper emotional issue. To lose faith in God would be akin to losing meaning to everything and that would leave them horribly broken and lost. It's too bad they can't see the other alternatives. One can lead a very spiritual life without placing belief in ridiculous claims.

I think weve been heading to the end times since Jesus was on Earth. Everyone since then thought they were living in the end times, just like some now do, so thats nothing new. i dont think weve been living it this whole time, but rather living in what proceeds it. Hope that makes sense.

The world will not go on long in the condition that it is in.  This is the very reason life began and the same reason it will end as we know it.  The Lord is going to fix things how he wants them to be.

The world we live in is twisted. Only God Almighty can tell u what is right and what is not. Let God Almighty judge us all when the time has come for us to face our creator.

Not every christian is obsessed with the end of the world.  I'm a Christian and could care less.  We are all going to drop dead someday, I'm not going to waste my God given life worrying about it.\n\n\nJesus said.  "what can you by worrying, add a single day to your life?"  then He talked about the flowers in the field and the animals and how they don't worry themselves to death and God still provides for them.

I think it's because (in part,anyway..Satan is another but that'd take longer than you and I have here! LOL) anything different is suspect.  Jesus instructed his followers to be "no part of this world" just as he was not (John 17:16)and that to be friends with the world was to have emnity with God (James 4:4) Because we try as best we can to follow in Jesus and his early disciples footsteps, we too try to be no part of this world.  We cannot literally be no part, or we wouldn't be alive, so we stay away from the things the world considers important : much of the entertainment, celebrating of pagan-originating holy days,etc. That makes us stand out like sore thumbs to begin with, but THEN we come to your door every Saturday morning, trying to share what we believe to be literal life-saving truths from the Bible!!! LOL!!\nPeople are always afraid of what they don't understand. We never expect EVERYONE to come to believe as we do, but those who are not afraid are those who have learned FROM US what we believe. They may not agree, but neither do they have misinformation about us, either!  Thank you for this opportunity this evening to share with you! It's been great!!!

How sweet to apologize. Yes it is true that none of us know when the end time will come. It could come tomorrow or ten years from now. What-ever date it may be, one needs to be ready, but that doesn't mean that one needs to stop living life and not prepare for the future. You said it best.....it is up to God.  God Bless and take care!!

Not to preach or anything but I believe that God (or whomsoever one refers to) doesn't give us anymore than one can handle, good, bad or otherwise. He influences us from time to time, knowing what's best in the long run for all of humanity, leaving what is called reason.\n--------Humanity = Reason--------\n When something bad happens, people can't understand why. Well, maybe what may have happened down the line would have been much worse. Maybe if you would have come to a full and complete stop at that last stop sign, pausing only a fraction of a second more, that car coming wouldn't have hit you. Then, you wouldn't have been able to get out of your car to see if everyone was okay when you noticed you had spilled your drink down the front of you which led you to the shop across the street to buy a new one since now you were late for work. Just so happens that the person who was also waiting in line to pay was the person you spent the rest of your life with and had a beautiful child with. \nSomeone knew who you were meant to be with and found a way for your paths to cross. Knowing that you would never have stopped in that shop under any other circumstances. This was the closest you would ever be near each other without a little divine intervention or whatever.\nThen you may ask, why could we only have one child? Maybe if you'd had another something so horribly unbearable may have happened that you couldn't handle. Unfortunately causing what could have been the Nobel Prize winner of 2123 not to graduate high school because his parent wasn't there to encourage good grades.\nEach individual life seems so small but each has a very important role when you look at the big picture. Especially the credits at the end. \n--------Individuals = Chance--------\nStill, we all control our own lives. If you live too afraid to do things on your own you'll have the same results as those who live like they're invincible. Neither having the experiences that make life worth living thinking the outcome will be the same no matter what. Are we all so vein that we can't see past ourselves? HUMANITY!!! I am not all of humanity, nor is any other one person. There's a beginning and an end to everything and God has been and will be there for both events. He knows what final outcome he IS going to achieve no matter how long it takes. We are just a part of his trial and error process. It's up to humanity to get there. It's up to individuals to decide how we get there, leaving what is known as chance. It's our choice how to handle each thought we have. Each time, we take a chance, hoping our decision was a good one. But when those decisions don't point towards what "he" is wanting to achieve, he sets us back on track. It would be hard to decide which child lives a good life and which one doesn't. That's why he lets us decide that. The story isn't over yet so we couldn't possibly know the "reason" for anything yet, that's why we have to understand that when you take the "chance" of trying to figure it out, we must remember "Hey _ _ _ _ happens!"

God's grace is sufficient! He loves us so much that he gave His son to die for our sins...past, present, and future. We recognize that we have sinned, ask Him to come into our lives and that we want to follow him, and we are reborn! New creatures in Christ. Sometimes we waiver and take a few steps back, but when we reach out to Him, miraculous things happen! Thanks for posting article.

I cannot agree more, we are, since the beginning of time, have been sinning against God the Father.  Its how we are made.  With our own free will.  The self is always fighting for supremacy than be subjected to a higher one, in this case, the laws and guidelines in life found in the Bible.  It is really a difficult struggle and only if one surrenders himself to the will of God can he win over selfish desires and sins to a life leading to God.

I didn't go to any of your links.  I chose to believe that we are in the end times simply because of Bible prophecy and the Book of Revelation.   God has come close to the hour of closing this chapter on earth.  No one knows the exact hour or day, but I believe it is sooner rather than later.

I have often wondered why God "lets" things happen.  However, I've thought a lot about it and God doesn't let things happen.  He cannot intervene in our lives other than to give us strength when we need it, along with a host of other virtues to help us through our rough times.  God laid down the law many years ago and stated how things would be and how they would get.  He gave us freewill to make our choices.  God does not make people do bad things, people make choices, good or bad.  He cannot give evidence that he exists.  You have to believe on faith alone, which is why he cannot interfer.  People are people, we sin, and that is why the world is the way it is.  If you believe biblical prophecy, then he will return and take the saints and leave the sinners.

The world is becoming exactly what it says in the Bible.  But, there are still a lot of people who believe in God.  It is just so sad that so many young ones don't.  Just remember, God isn't the one to turn against.  Satan has brought the evil into the world. Satan challenged God's universal sovereignty.

GOD works in mysterious ways. we are not always able to comprehend why GOD does things the way HE does but there is always a purpose. hope everything goes well for you and yours in the coming years.
