Judgment Day

[Massorite]

No it is not possible to speed things up because God has a set time for the fulfillment of His prophetic scripture. However there are men like Ahmadibajad who believe that by bringing about the total destruction of Israel and waging jihad on all infidels. He can speed up the return of his god. There have also been men of insanity like Charles Manson who thought by bringing about anarchy that they could bring about great change.

At the risk of sounding like a terrorist, do you think there is anything wrong with starting a religious war?

*waits for the CIA to knock on the door*

Yes I do. One of the biggest blemishes on Christian history are the so called religious wars conducted in the name of Jesus. Which was not and is not a part of the Gospel of Jesus. God says "Vengence is Mine" and I am more then willing to let Him have it on my behalf or any other Christian.

Don't the scriptures say that fighting for and dying for Christ is good?

Matthew 26

51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

52 But Jesus said to him,

Yes but not in the mode of starting a war. Only if your on the defensive where Christ is concerned.

That's what I thought. Where is this scripture? Do you know?

Luke 22:36 & 38 There is only one reason why any of the disciples of Jesus needed a sword. It was for self defence only. There is also a difference between being attacked by a thief who wants your money and being attacked by some one because of your love of Christ.

Then why does our country praise our troops??? What we are doing overseas is not self defense. It's invasion.

Wrong! It's preemptive self defense.

No you are wrong. It is self preservation. We didn't harbor the terrorists who tried to cripple our country. They did. Would you expect us to stay put while they kill us all terrorist act by terrorist act. In the bible when ever the people of God were attacked un-provoked for no reason without the consent from God, God always attacked the attackers back. We didn't attack first they did. Just because they are in another country doesn't means we should stay home and what for them to get here. It means that we need to go to them just like they came to us.

Besides while we are supposed to be a Christian nation we are in reality a secular nation and God commands us to obey our government unless it means going against the laws of God and in this case there are no laws of God that would restrict us from serving our country be defending it against those that would seek our total destruction. The ultimate goal of Islam is to conquer the world through any means necessary in order to bring about a totally 100% Islamic world. Are you willing to sit back and let that happen or would you rather resist or fight back? The bible is full of people who killed in the name of God and God sanctioned the killing.

If we hadn't attacked Hitler and defeated him the whole world would be a Nazi world to day with all of the Jews killed or exterminated and Hitler ruling the world as he saw fit. Were we sinful for stopping the total inhalation of a whole race of people and defeating a mad man? No!

Are we a sinful nation for trying to stop the insanity of Islam? No! Are we going to fail? Yes because God said so. Evil will consume the world as we know it.

I very much look forward to the coming of the Lord. However, I am fearful that I will have to watch some of my atheist friends thrown into the pits of hell. How do I ask this....hm.....Is there any scripture that says whether or not we have to watch our loved ones tortured? I really, really don't want to have a front row ticket to watch it all go down. I just want to see my Lord.

Edit: Thought of another question: Is it possible for mankind to speed up the coming of the Lord? In other words, are there things we can do as Christians to bring on the rapture? Sorry if this sounds confusing. I'm bad with words right now.

No it is not possible to speed things up because God has a set time for the fulfillment of His prophetic scripture.

You don't know much about Islam do you? Ahminawhat'shisname is not waiting for the return of any god. He would be looking for the appearance of the Mahdi. This is a difference between the Shi'a and Sunni. The Sunni are looking for the return of Jesus Christ.

Yes you are correct. Whatshisface has already spent hundreds of millions or even prepareing his country to recieve the Mahdi.
