The End Of The World, Part II
The end of the world is coming. Why worry yourself over that? God has said the world will be destroyed, are you going to fix that so it doesn't happen? No.

If God is and has always been infinite?
Then why do you think that you will end?
Religion is just a lie to make you feel like a good person and unafraid and special to someone.
When you are not.
Dress like me.
Walk with me.
Talk like me.
Eat what I eat.
Stand when I stand.
Sit when I sit.
Stay where I stay.
Say what I say.
And we will receive an award for being different.
Just like everyone else.
In Jesus name.
So that we don’t get the blame.
Yeah.
It has only been over two thousand years.
In that all of that time?
How many people have come to the end of time?
I’m still here.
You are still here.
This rock is still here.
So when does eternity start?
When does time end?
What about the rest of the Universe?
Does it have to become a “God’s special friend”?
Then why do you think that you will end?

@PoeticPlay Poetic [sigh] Poetry is a prison of words that robs of life.

The religious ride the special bus? I can only speak for myself, but I don't want to be special. Never have. Religion is a set of principles strictly adhered to (at least in pretense) and ritualistic repetition. Everyone is religious. No organized religion has ever remained true, even to itself. Just follow the money (power).

Thank you.

Okay. Uh . . . conformity of non-conformity isn't exclusive to organized religion.

That's good, I like that. Scapegoat.

What has? Jesus said the world was founded on the blood of Abel, so the world and the end times, began, according to the Bible, at the conception of Cain. The world (Greek kosmos; English; cosmos, cosmetics) was founded (Greek katebole; throwing down of seed) then. So, it's been more than two thousand years.
[quote]In that all of that time?

None. There is no end of time. There's ends of ages, end of times, ends of generations, end of the world (many times in the Bible).

And time will go on after all of those are gone.

That depends on what you mean by eternity. If you mean infinite or unending time it began at the creation of the universe. If you mean a state to which time has no application; timelessness, it's a bit too philosophical or poetic for me. Never? Before time? God is eternal as he existed before time and is without end. If you mean endless life after death that begins at the resurrection, after the destruction of the world, sin, pain, suffering, etc.
Anyway . . .
