No, the OP has a misinterpretation of what the Bible says. That is what it is about. The OP mistakenly claims that we cannot know when the universe as we know it began based upon a poor interpretation.This thread is nothing to do with that.
The only issue is whether the bible says man and his wisdom is too small to know about the beginning and end.
So no man told you something and it is now gospel to you, while the bible is hated and doubted. OkNo man.
Your turn.
The Bible is not being "hated and doubted." Your interpretation of the Bible is being dismissed as inadequate. Learn to tell the difference.So no man told you something and it is now gospel to you, while the bible is hated and doubted. Ok

It is a common claim from extremists. If one does not agree with their personal interpretation of the Bible then you must hate the Bible. A rather illogical belief.You think I hate the Bible? Why would you believe such a lie?
Guess I was fooled when you talked about how bad it was that Jesus would take over.You think I hate the Bible? Why would you believe such a lie?
There is an interpretation that Jesus will not return and rule?The Bible is not being "hated and doubted." Your interpretation of the Bible is being dismissed as inadequate. Learn to tell the difference.
Quite a few. Most Christians believe that Jesus' return will signal the final judgement and the end of days.There is an interpretation that Jesus will not return and rule?
Great, but He does return and take over the world. The way He does that involves a bloody take over, His garments stained in blood of enemies. The poster I responded to was mocking this and insinuating that those who long for His coming were some sort of monsters lusting after blood.That is blasphemy.Quite a few. Most Christians believe that Jesus' return will signal the final judgement and the end of days.

Some quotes from you in this thread..
About battle of Joshua in post post 437
"Never is difficult to obey a "kill" command, is it?
post 439
I can only suspect that the thrill of watching Jesus kill will be marred by the frustration of not being allowed to join in.
Which plan was that? The one that went sideways in Genesis and required Jesus to come down the first time, or the one from when Jesus came down a first time... which has apparently also gone sideways and now requires him to return... killing left and right?"
= Blasphemy
That one's your glee and frustration... which has nothing to do with the Bible.
The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world had a plan all along actually. If Satan were not part of it he would not be allowed to be here.Truth. Genesis got thrown out of whack by a talking reptile... necessitating Jesus' first arrival...
Your accusation of some imagined glee.
Isa 63:3 - I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
Are you in support of Jesus doing this?

Is that why he tempted Jesus in the wilderness?Sounds like in the end, Satan is working for God... so much for him being "evil."

You wouldn't be happy to see Jesus?
Better still, to see Jesus performing exactly as He is Biblically prophecised to do?
Why not?
?? You kidding?Of course not -- I'm not a Christian.
Are you against him doing this? Is it somehow wrong for him to do it?
Like a prisoner on a chain gang works for the state. Satan has limits as to what he can do. Also, his employment, besides being very conditional is temporary. We know he is getting the boot when the term is up.Sounds like in the end, Satan is working for God... so much for him being "evil."
God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.
It has to be done. We will be glad it is done.
