The You Test #5 - End of the World Edition

And subsistence living with rogue marauders guarding their cache of food is living?

Read Josephus' account of the destruction of Jerusalem.

Yes, but if God did not have purpose for me to survive..... He would have allowed me to be wiped out like all the other millions and not given me the means to survive any further than that.

You do not live one second longer than God wills.

That would also limit your escape routes. Also, youd have snow to contend with and the lack of food/animals that comes with it.

Here, its all flat, pick a direction and go..... don't worry about changing seasons.... just survive the heat.

Besides that, this part of Texas..... if you wanna chance the ocean and no zombies..... the gulf of mexico is right there.

Remember what I said about my grandfather and his brothers? They were all vets. And we have had more than 60 years to make improvements. The bunker I have at my house is for short term use. You would be amazed at what is actually legal to own in the US. Many things that you wouldn't consider legal, are.

 

[Toro]

Questionable and subjective based on individual cases.

So you believe you can outlive Gods time frame of your life?

You can change the quality of said time by making poor choices, but you will not live longer than God intends you to live. If you still draw breath.... He is NOT done with you.

Im glad Noah didn't think like that.

No. believe me, I wouldnt be shocked at all.... I AM a Texan after all.

1) You have time to make one call. Who is it to?
I assume my girlfriend is with me during this event so I'd call my mom.

2) You have time to grab one food and beverage from the fridge, what is it? (something that's in there right now)
Watermelon and water.

3) You have time to set your DVR to record one show:
Don't have a DVR. (Yay for Netflix)

4) You have time to grab one book off the shelf (you already have a bible in the shelter):
Probably the book she leant me.

5) You have time to message one Facebook/CF friend, who is it?
CF is the last thing that would be on my mind. FB friend? I have a few in mind.

6) You have time to grab your favorite piece of jewelry/heirloom:
My ring.

7) In case you don't make it, you have one chance to record a message to the world. What is it?
I wouldn't record a message.

8) You only have time to grab one piece of clothing to wear for the next however long you're stuck in the shelter:
Probably a hoodie.

9) You get to take one picture with you, what is it?
Probably just take my phone which has all the pictures I want on it.

10) You have two minutes left, how do you spend it?
Grabbing more stuff lol.

Please not I said questionable; I made no definitive statement.


That is absolutely no comparison whatsoever.

Noah faced the end of the world as he knew it. He still had free will. He could have chosen not to comply.

Well okay, how is it questionable?

God has always had a purpose for keeping people alive when He could have just as easily allowed them to be wiped out.

If I were to die in such a hypothetical situation as this..... would I cry that I didn't get to take part in the misery that would follow? No..... but if I had a chance to survive, Id do everything I could to live. If I failed, fine.... however I wouldn't just stand there and say "whats the use?".

If God allowed me to be in a situation to survive and I did..... it means He has reason for doing so and He would provide what I needed..... just because the world changes, doesnt mean God does.

He could still provide in a nuclear holocaust as He could in a huge city or a small town.

Could be that His ONLY purpose for keeping me alive would be to strengthen my faith and reliance on Him in such a world BEFORE I was called home. Whatever His purpose, I would miss out on it if I simply gave up..... or.... I might suffer even more if His will is for me to REALLY survive regardless of my free will and I would have to deal with the damage to this body brought on by standing outside in a blast because I was too stubborn to get to safety.

 

[Hawthorne]

[Toro]

You do realise I'm only about half serious, don't you?

Dont matter, I got nothin else to do.... I have 2 hours til I have to be at work.... so, serious or not..... Im not going anywhere.

Just sittin on the dock of the bay....... wastin tiiiiiiiime.. Til I gotta drag my butt out of this chair... and go to a job smelling like stale air. (Man I wish they would turn the water on. Stupid city of Houston... turn the little nozzle that says "open" and let the water flow. I don't wanna stink with backup work clothes and no shower since Saturday morning and working outside in the heat on a car. .... why am I surprised though... it IS Monday. Most annoying part, I know they will turn it on just after I leave...... some times it stinks going to work before everyone else.)

 

[MehGuy]

Ha ha, you have to work in two hours.. while I get to be drunk.

Although who knows.. maybe you'll be drunk too.. lol.

 

[Sketcher]

1) You have time to make one call. Who is it to? No I don't.
2) You have time to grab one food and beverage from the fridge, what is it? (something that's in there right now)
I have a bunch of food to throw away - whatever's still good and not laden with preservatives.
3) You have time to set your DVR to record one show: Forget that, I'm doing that in the shelter.

9) You get to take one picture with you, what is it? I don't know, whoever/whatever it is would burn up and I'd be reminded of that for the rest of my life - that would be really tough to dwell on.
10) You have two minutes left, how do you spend it? Getting my happy self to the shelter.

I don't work tomorrow, I've made plenty of money this week.. Haven't had a day off in a whole week, lol.

 

[Toro]

Well, Id still rather spend my time more productively than getting drunk.... but whatever floats your goat.
