Originally posted by galveston75I too am apparently a blind person. But if you genuinely can see, you should have no problem explaining it to the rest of us and providing some sort of evidence - especially if it is as obvious as you claim. Vague references to newspapers just wont cut it. Anyone who uses newspapers to gage social problems is in for a deep shock if they ever try reading Chinese newspapers, or having a look at police statistics.
If your eyes were open you'd see the differances between now and just when we were kids. Holy cow Knob are you serious?!!

If any of you 3 guys would simply type in on your computer suchs wording as Increases of crime, increases of war, or increases of diseases over the last 100 years you will see that all had steady increases especially since 1914 after the first WW.
With the exception of many diseases some of those have dropped in the last few years. And that would coinside with 1Thes 5:3 which will be seen in the near future.
So all of you can continue on with your scoffing which is fine. But God's day is very near....

You know, its one less thing on the "to do" list. Perhaps he can pencil her in for a good smiting with the extra time on his hands, what say you?

What's interesting is how few are "creeped out" by the teachings of Jesus.
Rather it is the beliefs of "Christians" and "Christianity".

Originally posted by galveston75Sorry but vague instructions to go do the research ourselves just doesn't cut it. You claim it is obvious so you should have no problem providing some sort of references. If a search will provide the answers then do the search and post the first three hits and explain how they support your claims.

I looked up "Increases of crime" - your first suggestion, and the first few hits do not support your position.
