Countdown / countup to the Day of the Lord

Thankfully, the countdown / countup isn't about your indulgence into your personal pride.

So, what is it you believe is going to happen to me on 29th December later this year?

The word is imminent.

Surely someone as spiritual as you, with your visions from the Lord and your prophesies would realise that these things of which you speak are not perceived with the intellect?

And surely someone as ignorant as yourself can learn to spell; read the sister thread for your spelling lessons on the use of the forms of "prophecy".

I predict that one day after your prediction doesn’t come true you will no longer be here making a fool of yourself.

It isn't my prediction, but had you read the material at hand you would have known that.

This topic isn't about you and what you think of it.

You can't hasten nor quicken its coming, neither can you slow it down, nor stop it.

Thankfully, your days of insulting people are going to come to a sudden, drastic end.

Just my luck.

I've booked a holiday from the 30th December. Should I cancel? (And if your countdown leads to nothing, will you refund me the cost of the ticket? )

Overall, the topic of the Day of the Lord Cruise thus far is only proof of the mass apostasy.

In what way will it be "sudden" and "drastic"? What's going to happen?

Firstly, you're going to have to live that long, as undeserved as you are of it.

If I do live till 29th December this year, what is it you are predicting is going to happen to me ~ I'm an agnostic atheist, by the way ~ and what is it you are predicting is going to happen to you?

You’ve just exchanged a few posts with me and already you’re calling me “ignorant”, is that any way for a holy visionary like yourselve to behave?

Here you are judging people again! 😲

I’m going to have to start doubting your credentials as a holy man if you don’t buck up pretty soon.

I suspect he may be an atheist who's just taking the piss out of Christians with a 'The End is Nigh' parody.

Oh! It’s not very good though is it.

Shame if your right though, as I thought we finally had one in here with more fruitloopery than sonship.

By definition:

'Apostasy in Christianity is the rejection of Christianity by someone who formerly was a Christian. The term apostasy comes from the Greek word apostasia ("ἀποστασία" ) meaning defection, departure, revolt or rebellion. It has been described as "a willful falling away from, or rebellion against, Christianity.'


Using such a word to an atheist is misplaced. I have not fallen away from your bizarre beliefs. I have never held them. You will see this yourself come the 30th December when you are publicly ridiculed here and forced into the predictable position of claiming you had merely got your calculations wrong.

robbie carrobie quite rightly used to call me an apostate but quite wrongly - quite laughably, in fact - thought it would hurt my feelings. 🙂
