Re: WARNING!!! The world is going to end on March 4, 2010!

I have a really important question about March 4th. I will try to formulate it in such a way that I get an answer and not some quotes and swearwords tossed at me. Please answer both questions, not one of them, otherwise skip them.

Question #1
"What will you do if March 4th is not the end of the world and nothing happens?"

Question #2
"If you are wrong about the world ending on March 4th, what will you say to all those who doubted you?"

We don't respond to "if" questions. Though I know you Godmockers love asking them.

Hm, you almost make me not want to answer your questions...

Question #1 "What will you do if March 4th is not the end of the world and nothing happens?"

Well this is extremely extremely unlikely. But in case God decides to perform a miracle and we will still be here we will just go on living our lives.

Question #2 "If you are wrong about the world ending on March 4th, what will you say to all those who doubted you?"

We will thank God for performing a miracle and continue trying to save souls.

That's not up to me my friend. But rest assured everyone will benefit from it.

Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork."

CORRECTION! Every TrueChristian™ will benefit from it. For the others, well, they made their choice.

Well, we do hope Project Habakkuk will help more people to become saved. So I think everyone will benefit from the increased chance of getting saved. But you are right in that some people will make the wrong choice. Some people are apparently too stupid to become True Christians.

Mark, when has anyone sweared at you (or anbody else for that matter). The thought that that may of happened realy upsets me. And of course I'll answer them both, though you know certain things cannot be discussed due to Project Habakkuk.

Question #1
"What will you do if March 4th is not the end of the world and nothing happens?"

Probably the same thing that I will do if the sun stops revolving around the Earth. Die

Question #2
"If you are wrong about the world ending on March 4th, what will you say to all those who doubted you?"

Well, if the Earth stops revolving around the sun, I doubt there will be any doubters, right? But if Project Habakkuk fails for some reason, I guess I'll have a cup of coffee and ask for two sugars.

Question #1
"What will you do if March 4th is not the end of the world and nothing happens?"

Then God has apparently changed His mind, as He did when He intended to destroy Nineveh. God can change His mind when people repent from their sins, you know:

Jonah 3:4-10:
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Question #2
"If you are wrong about the world ending on March 4th, what will you say to all those who doubted you?"

I will tell them that it certainly wasn't thanks to them that God gave the world a little more time to turn from evil. That there are some people who really did repent from their sins, and believed that the world was going to end on March 4, 2010, and that it was because of their belief, not the unbelief of ungrateful atheists like you, that the disaster was averted.

Nevertheless, I haven't seen many sinners turn to Christ so far, so I think we'll need to keep Project Habakkuk going.

Amen to that Brother. There are still a lot of people who have to be saved.

Re: WARNING!!! The world is going to end on March 4, 2010!

Let me get this straight. You were strolling around the interwebs and this thread caught your eye.

You took all that time to think up a username and password. You had to answer the registration question from the Bible. Then, you went to check your email to get the confirmation for you to join here.

Finally, you charged into this thread to utter four monosyllabic words. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Ecclesiastes 4:5
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

Amen!

Psalm 14: 1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Re: WARNING!!! The world is going to end on March 4, 2010!

Thank's for your replies, I thought it would be appropriate of me to answer those questions myself for a comaprison.

Question #1
"What will you do if March 4th is not the end of the world and nothing happens?"

Nothing special. Wake up, read news, eat.

Question #2
"If you are wrong about the world ending on March 4th, what will you say to all those who doubted you?"

People who predict near-future apocalyptic events but are unable to influence them (god's wrath, end of the world) always back it up with "But God can change his mind any time". Thus actually saying: "If I'm right I'm right and if I'm wrong I'm still right since God saved the world and thus he must exist."
Unwillingness to admit a mistake.

Re: WARNING!!! The world is going to end on March 4, 2010!

MarkHenry, I can see where you're coming from, but it's dangerous reasoning.

So IF God decides to change His mind (or rather: it turned out to be a test), you'd say that the best course of action is to go "haha, God doesn't exist".

Then might then of course make God decide to end the world after all. So basically, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy what you're proposing.

That's a good point. Also, just because God changes His mind, does not mean He doesn't exist either! Let's say March 4 comes and the world doesn't end. The atheists will be overjoyed saying "See! It didn't happen! God doesn't exist!"

But that is faulty reasoning, on another level.

Say for example you have a friend who has a friend you've always wanted to meet. You and your friend's friend have heard of each other through your friend and are both looking forward to meeting. Well, the day arrives and you are on your way to your friend's house to meet this new person. An emergency happens and you have to rush back home. You never show up at your friend's house while this new person is waiting.

An atheist is like this new person saying "You don't exist, because you never showed up.". Just because you never arrived and showed your face to this person, doesn't mean you don't exist.

But that is what these atheists who say March 4 is not the end of the world are claiming!

Re: WARNING!!! The world is going to end on March 4, 2010!

I am most pleased about this as I haven't filed or paid my taxes in the last 11 years. When the collector finally got through to me I told him that he would have a better chance pushing a camel through the eye of a needle than get a thin cent from me. To which he laughed and thought I was joking. I assured him, that I thought rendering onto this Caesar was not worthy of my meager dollars, and that the fiction of money will be exposed as nothing more than some concept created by man and not of God. Now knowing for sure that all this will come to end March 4 has delighted me so much that my skybox seat is ready for my arrival.

Praise be Jesus' name,

Son, do not come crying to me at 6:10 AM on March 4th, 2010

If you wait too long to repent, God will see through your little ploy and deny you access to Heaven.

Dispose of your worldly goods, give your money to the Church. God will see these efforts and reward you handsomely.

Amen! I've given away every cent to my name, including my home, and haven't eaten for two days already. I'm SO happy!
