Bible Question:
Well, I probably have no "right" to be here, since I was first a Catholic, second an atheist,and third an agnostic; but due to recent events I have certainly become much more spiritual, and in such a way as to not compromise my ethics in not being a hypocrite. No matter what my beliefs through the ages I have always adhered to Christian ethics if not morals, as I have comprehended the need to treat people thusly. I am not concerned with the salvation of my soul but with the salvation of the human species fromthe possible impending doom. I hope some free-thinking people that read this may be able to ease my mind in a way that is not so "high and mighty." As easily as I can discount Nostradamus, I cannot ignore what I have read in Revelations, and while using the mind that God gave me to take the word of God written through man with a grain of salt, I fear the often enigmatic words put forth in The Book of Revelations seem to be coming to fruition. I care not for my fate, but all of a sudden I worry for the fate of the world in light of the parallels between what was written 1500 years ago and what is happening in modern times on a day-to-day basis. I reread the Book of Revelations tonight, and at a few times I cried due to the verity of these ancient words. I cannot imagine what the h@#k is happening nowadays, annd I fear for all that do not know the gravity of the situation. Wel, I could go on and on about theology, ethics, history, morals, aliens, the media, the time-space continuum, etc, etc, but I would like the input of Christians or whomever else is a scholar of The Word. You may not convert me, but you may convince me and certainly inform me. If this forum does not work wel, feel free to email me at eschatoncc@yahoo.com. Thank you very much for your time. |
Bible Answer: Welcome to the forum Eschatoncc, You have every right to be here. We welcome any questions that you may have. This is a forum of God's word, which you seem to know and believe. From your letter I can see that in your heart you are neither agnostic nor an atheist. Your mind just needs to give in to what your heart already knows to be the truth. Proverbs 22:6 says that when you "raise up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it". You were raised in the Catholic faith...... There is nothing we can do to prevent Revelations from coming to pass. The Lord said it would happen and it will, although we know not when. I will refer you to 2Chron 7:14 in answer to your question of what can we do. "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land". Pray, my friend, that more people of this world will wake up and see the truth. prayon |
