Adam's Apple said:In response to AJW, Bonnie's topic for this thread was "Are we nearing the end of the world"", not the end of time. Time, as you describe it, is known to Christians as eternity. There will be an "end" to Planet Earth (the world), according to the Bible, and that was in God's plan from the very beginning. Our existence here is temporary, and it was meant to be. Our future is in eternity.
In response to your two questions: (1) as a Christian, I do know where I was before I was conceived. I was a spirit being who was a child of God. The Bible tells us we are spiritual children of God the Father, and we are made in his image. (2) After I die, I will go to a holding place for spirits until the resurrection. This holding place will either be a place of peace and rest or a hellish experience, depending on what we have done here on earth. Read the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16.
I see you are a Christian who believes your bible LITERALLY instead of METAPHORICALLY. A Bible written and directed by a man named Paul of Tarsus and codified by some unknown authors called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. Basically copied from the Old Testament, the early Roman mystery religion of Roman Mythraism and a touch of Gnosticism.
What I said was there is no planet earth and never has been in eternity. As far as your future, you are entitled to believe your New Testament any way you want. Your NT seems to say that only Christians or believers in Christ have an eternal future. That's very nice. For the rest of humanity also created like all humans even if there are no solid things in this dimension in which we assume we also live. In that same eternity or infinity which has always been and will continue eternally.
So you were a 'spirit child of Jesus' before you were conceived and after you die you will go to a holding place for spirits until the resurrection. Wow....
Good for you....
How LONG were you a spirit child of god Jesus? How LONG will you be in that holding place until the Resurrection (Rapture)? How LONG is TIME spent in these places and how many earth minutes do you think that was and will be?
Your NT tells you that you and the rest of the TRUE believers in Christ are to be SAVED. Do you think that G-d created everything just for you and your fellow believers in Christ? Does the universe revolve around you few believing Christ folks?
Do you believe in CREED instead of DEED for being saved as said by that Tarsian Paul?
