BF2S Forums With all the unfolding prophecies about the Bible...

yeah what?

Ppl don't get it, but I do, bro. What religion are you? I b catholic.

In Revelations, a book in the Bible, it describes the end of the world. It has prophecies to signal when it is getting closer, alot of these prophecies are coming true, i wanted the forums opinions. Mostly the atheists and agnostics and other religions.

The bible can be interpreted in millions of ways.  It's not so hard to imagine that a couple of those ways might have a possibility of having something come true.

Yes, I am still unconvinced.

Indications can be understood in different ways.

I say, if it comes, it comes. There's really nothing you can do about it but pray (I know it sounds pessimistic, but really, it's a good thing).

I personally believe that God is Santa Claus for adults, but what other people believe usually doesn't concern me.

Nevertheless, I would argue that prophecy is psychological.  People see what they want to out of it.  I would even say that some people actively try to implement what is said in prophecy.  For example, the Middle East wouldn't be nearly as chaotic if there was no religious significance to it.  Prophecies focus a lot on the region, and by extension, people react illogically when dealing with things like land issues.

For those playing at home:

The Bible wrote:

All alike, little and great, rich and poor, free men and slaves, must recieve a mark from him on their right hands, or on their foreheads, and none might buy or sell, unless he carried this mark, which was the beast's name, or the number that stands for his name.

You figure this is the Euro based on what exactly?

Logical explanation would be...nothing new is happening that hasn't already happened that would indicate some kind of change to what has happened.


I dunno i for one think the Mayans had it right,  December 20th 2012 here i come!

What the passage means, or as I perceive it, is that there will be one currency, credit cards, and you must have the mark of the beast to use or buy anything.

Not necessarily the Euro.

In fact one of the things credit cards do is make it possible to buy things without worrying about currency, so the Euro at best doesn't help, and at worst works against your theory.  You, sir, are a crackpot.

wow.

wow.

i misused euro, im sorry your majesty, would you please forgive that statement? PLEASE?!?!?!

You cited the Euro as evidence that the apocalypse is coming!  What the fuck did you expect my response to be?

'I see a man in a red shirt in the future. He will have a badge. He will die along with his brethren.'

OP: As for the 'wars and rumors of wars' deal, it's a good thing you said it's been going on awhile, because it has. And longer than that.
