They are the same because when "Christ returns" evil will cease. It is unfortunate that you cannot see the connection.

There is a connection, but this thread is only addressing the argument that Christ could have returned, to demonstrate that those who hold to such a belief aren't really thinking it through properly in light of God's omniscience and His declaring of what would come to pass prior to Christ's return.

I think there was a brief brain lapse... there are rules that just don't apply here... in the progressive section its a free for all, as long as its civil....

Evidently I am in the wrong place then, as I do believe in order. You can keep your chaos to yourself. It wont survive long!

And once the FSBs go into effect you will learn fast that such behavior will not be tolerated in the debate section.

no need to becoming threatening Woob, which I have noticed is what you do when people don't share your beliefs.... this is not the debate section, it is the progressive section and I am within the guidelines.... as for what is tolerated, as long as you are civil and polite you are welcomed here.... have a good day...

You see, the difference between you and me is that you have no issue with referring to God as a liar, but I do have an issue with such a thing, as I take God at His word, and believe what it says.
Obviously, you have difficulty differentiating between what the Creator has said and what men have said He did say.

Who said we want to be in a place where you, in your present state of mind, are happy?

I accept the SDA view on this regarding the calculation of the timetable. However, at this time I am still wrestling with the part about the IJ.
Strange that you should have a problem when others wrestle, in their way, with what you accept.

I think Peter best answers this question in 2nd Peter chapter 3.

Personnal I think Jesus has to come back within the next 100 years. After that there will be no body alive on this planet for Jesus to meet as the magnetic field will have collasped by then and killed everything on this planet.

You don't believe the magnetic field is getting weaker and that is one of the reasons cancers are increasing?

They say the magnetic field has lost 40% of its strength over the last 1000 years. The half life of the field is 1400 years approx.

nope I don't believe it, and causal factors of cancer are numerous and not as simple as some would suggest.... doomsday predictions are usually overrated and leave out the involvement of The Creator...

So you don't believe the magnetic field of the planet is weakening?

not particularly.... based on what? compared to what? it could be that the magnetic field fluctuates and that we are in a down cycle.... not enough data to make a conclusion....

Does a magnet ever increase its strength or does it lose its strength over a period of time?

It is a well known fact that the magnetic field has lost strength since Adam sinned.

a well known fact to whom? Since humans were not measuring the magnetic field at the time of creation how do people know what it was then or are they speculating?
