I totally forgot at 6:00. So about 7:30 someone said something about it, I checked my watch, and realized nothing had happened and I missed it. But we never know...it will happen someday but I don't think we will know the date.

I believe a man named Jesus did exist at some point and was a prophet or rather like a preacher on a street corner, ..

There was no man named Jesus...only Yahshua....they gave him a new name for some strange reason

Hey, that "The world is going to end" is straight nonsense from people who probably need to read all of Revalation, and Luke. It sais not one living person on Earth or any other planet knows what day or time that the world will end. Only the one and only Jesus Christ. If those "End of the world predictors" don't stop predicting,and don't read the bible, and don't ask the Lord for forgiveness, they won't be included in The Rapture when the time DOES come.

Why aren't these clowns prosecuted as the con men they are? Why is it legal for them to tell people to sell their homes, quit their jobs, give their money to _______ (fill in name of big-haired preacher here), and everything is perfectly legitimate. I just don't get it.

Amen to even Jesus does not know only the Father.

The good thing about this is that is there is only one person that comes to salvation God and the fellow belivers in the Body of Christ ( the true and only church) will rejoice.

On the fear matter "perfect love casts out fear"

The Body of Christ? Oh that's right, the cannibalistic religion where you eat the blood and flesh of the savior.

It'll be fun to see 200 million (!!!) souls flying around. I hope they don't cause any accidents.
But seriously, where do these people come up with such assertions as "ten is the value of such and such", and "seventeen is this and that", and "multiply one by the other and square the result". They may sound impressive to some people, but have no validity at all. It's like people who make wild assertions and come up with computations that purport to show how the distance to the moon (or the sun, Mars, whatever) can be computed from the length of the side (or the height, perimeter, etc.) of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Of course, you can compute anything you want given the right factors. In computer parlance it's called GIGO: garbage in, garbage out.

But I get a kick out of such kooks. I'll be watching CNN and waiting for the Big One -just in case.

Does this mean that if we are still here we need to get our chainsaws and sawed off shotguns ready for the aftermath?

It seems these folk have a desire to commit suicide by God.....

They seem to have a poor understanding of the book of revelations, what they prophesy ain't in it.

It'll be fun to see the looks on these people's faces when the world DOESN'T end.
