Non-Christians

@Gloomy youbare right about christians debating among each other. One of the sad things about our religion.

@Gloomy exactly, there is a long glorious militant streak in Christianity. @Random3838

The term “fallen away” is a poor choice of words.
I am more than a little familiar with the wording.
The most important idea that a follower of a faith understand, is that their belief is theirs alone.
It’s not a universal.

Faith a fools errand.

@Random3838 I for one, love to search out scripture with other christians to figure out when Jesus will come since we are the last generation. It is so fun. He said you are not in darkness that this day will overcome YOU like a thief! Search out scripture, he says that in the last generation he will reveal it to us.

@Carazaa how do you know we are the last generation?

@Random3838 I have written about this in EP since 2014 and here since 2019

@Carazaa Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.
Matthew 24:42

@Carazaa “But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
Matthew 24:36

@Random3838 Please read his words carefully. Not then they didn't know, , but we will know, because Jesus said knowledge will increase in the last generation and
you are not in darkness that the day will overcome you like a thief!"

@Carazaa and you alone have that knowledge?

@Carazaa We will know? No, no one knows. We're not special, this isn't the "final generation".

@Random3838 As Noah and his family were the only people God warned and saved. There aren't many people who know the Bible, so no not many know. Just a few.

The Day of the Lord

1 thess 5
…While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief. 5For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.…

Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life--and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.

Colossians 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

1 Peter 2:9,10
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: …

@Carazaa are you comparing yourself to Noah? Earlier you called the brightess theologians Christianity has ever known "ignorant" and now you are claiming you are one of few who knows something that only God knows. Remember that pride was the sin of Satan.

@Random3838 All christians longing for Jesus return and searching out when he might come back for us are like Noah!
