-Removed-These scriptures of seismic and cosmic disturbance are not the gospel - divegeester
Anyone else willing to state that Matthew chapter twenty four does not form part of the gospel and that Jesus really isn't a Warrior King but a chocolate Santa Clause as divegeester has stipulated.
For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labour pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;…1 Thessalonians chapter 5
Please note what the false prophet divegeester is saying, Dont worry, 'there is peace! there is peace!, Jesus really isn't a Warrior King, he's a chocolate Santa Clause!!

yeah right, two world wars and a famine that claimed 40,000,000 million lives, thats just wired to da moon!
Originally posted by KazetNagorrayou seem to be having some trouble putting the constituent parts together so as to form a whole, attempting to use unrelated events and cooking up figures with reference to world population etc cannot do it, thats the beauty of having a composite sign, all elements need to be present and I have identified that all elements were present in this modern epoch. Why this simple logic fails you I really have no idea.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell, it seems to me a little problematic that your claim about "this modern epoch" is based on an assumption which, as it turns out, is opposite to reality - we see fewer wars and famine than before, not more.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes robbie, it is fewer. It really, really is. The world really wasn't that great a place in the pre-modern era. That's why people ended up dying and stuff instead of living until the age of 80 like we do nowadays.
