-Removed-Besides the issue that this 'end of days' card has been played out by just about every generation for the last 2000 years. And not one of those turned out to be true.
So just based on that, the odds are about 1 billion to one of HIS generation date being correct.
Of course, the entire edifice is BS in the first place but that's another story.

I am fully aware that we are all discussing what we believe. That doesn't really need spelling out to me.
Here's my wager, it has no money involved. It's a win-win situation for you.
I want you to make arrangements that when you pass away you leave me a case of nice red wine in your will. If I win the bet the end of times will not have played ou ...[text shortened]... arrived and I'll be killed by God so I won't be around to enjoy the wine. You can't lose Kelly..
name sake go get a bottle of wine and drink a glass to you. I'll even do it
while you are alive!
If you wish a glass a wine or bottle, let me know if you are ever in my part
of Texas. I'll take you out for some great BBQ and if you wish wine the
dinner and "a glass" will be on me.
I do not want to make the effort to do what you just said, more trouble
than it is worth to me.

Mr Jay, are you going to respond to this or rudely ignore me?

of them and promised them we were done.
Originally posted by KellyJayWhat makes you think these times are THE times Vs all the thousands of other last day predictions? They all pointed to much the same thing as you are.

Originally posted by sonhouseActually, the fact that the "end of days" has not come in any generation for the past 2000 years, seems to me to make the odds of every approaching generation to be that "last days" generation more likely. 😏

Originally posted by RJHindsIf there is ever to be a doomsday, then it is the case that one day the prophets of doom will be supported by the outcome. That chance result (even if it should be realised) does not offer the slightest validity to the predictions however. In every experiment there is always a statistical chance of a positive result arising by chance. Unless you can predict something better than a chance result, then you have nothing of value.

Consider. ISIS is said to anticipate the end times in accordance with Islamic accounts, which are quite different to the Christian accounts. One obvious difference concerns which religion comes out on top of course. Both parties may point to events as indicating an imminent apocalypse but we need greater precision to decide which apocalypse it is that is imminent. Just a general sense of impending doom is really not sufficient.

And it will be our own fault. THAT is the real end days. But entirely of our own making.
We may get thrust back to the tenth century which of course will suit Hinds perfectly.
Originally posted by KellyJayI remember us disagreeing over your support for Jehovah's Witnesses "right" to just let their children die for want of medical treatment in an effort to please/not displease their God figure. It was on page 4 of "JWs and blood transfusions" last September. All I can see is that - in the face of some difficult but respectful questions on a serious topic - you backed yourself into a bit of rhetorical corner with a stance that may have been ~ on reflection ~ a bit embarrassing to you.

This was the 'last' post of mine that was the apparent trigger:
"Where should the line be? Perhaps you could give a few examples of cases where you think the state should intervene and a few examples of where it should be left to the conscience of the parents.
From what you've said in the past, you believe that JWs should be allowed to let their children to die from a treatable condition. So that's on "the conscience of the parents" side of the line for you, presumably. And I assume that you would back the state to intervene to stop female genital mutilation. So that's on "the state should intervene" side of the line, presumably.
Can you offer a couple more examples each side of the line?"

forever, but Israel which was gone is now back, so when it came back I
do believe things have been lining up since then.
Not much more to for before both the Anti-Christ shows up in my opinion.
Jesus' return is coming soon too in my opinion, when that will be no clue.
