Not so loving? You are here and you are alive.You are given a chance. Do you deserve even that?

Its truly amazing how so many folks actually start to come out of the woodwork stating stuff like this to their followers. Its an unfortunent natural event that has killed thousands of people. Plain and simple. You can't not honestly tell me that a true loving God would allow such a thing to its people.

Allow? Earlier you implied he caused it. You need to have an understanding of God. He owes us nothing. He gives us everything. He doesn't owe us a good life. When bad things happen it's funny how non believers will say "there is no God" or " If there is a God then he is cruel"
Yet when good happens they don't say "There is a God" or "If there is a God he is a good God".

As for the stated scripture, that can be attributed to over a hundred world calamities in the past two centuries alone.

Of course. It's not the end of things. If it were then you wouldn't be here. When it's time we will know. Things will get worse.

You are absolutely right, that is a very scary statement. Its like if you are inviting such an event or possibly even start one to have the prophecy come true. Scary indeed.
|
Inviting His return is scary to you? Why would that bother you? Do you associate His return with something bad? If you don't believe then what do you have to be concerned about? Perhaps you are simply suggesting that I look forward to a major calamity to happen? If so then you suggest that I would entertain the thought of creating one to speed His comming?(God works in His own time and not mine.)
It wasn't my mind that came up with that idea it was yours. I would say that we have more to fear from thoughts from people like you than me.

The last sentence has been repeated numerous times by numerous people throught the centuries and yet we are still here.

The last statement was "we are closer today than yesterday" Was that a false statement?
