  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Interesting. I just came across this at the end of a video exposing false prophets...

Really makes me wonder after finding this I wrote in 2003:
"The days are coming soon upon your world Earth, and are already in linear time manifest, when many will gather together to hear and believe many of the untruths spoken by imposters. Accompanying these things will be great distress upon the world, and great signs in the stars. Since your linear year 1945 these things have begun to escalate. 90 years is determined. From 1945 to 1975 events escalated at a predictable pace. The last 10 years of a 30 year period show a marked escalation which births into the next period of 30 years. 1975 to 2005 is the next period, with the 10 years from 1995 being the escalation period. You are soon to enter the third period which will be marked by extremes beyond those of the prior two periods."

Things HAVE escalated during the 20 years since that was written and now we're less than a year away from the last 10 years period, which according to this is gonna be pretty bad. And the video plants Apophis right in the middle of it.

No need to worry. Apophis will pass Earth by in April 2029, and will not be close enough to collide for >100 yrs.

So science says, but there are the unpredictable factors the video shows, and that don't even take into account Gods hand in all this.

Revelation 8:8,
"And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;"

If not this one, maybe an asteroid that's not even seen right now?

Well, this verse will help. Let us not fear about the end.

Joshua 1:9 (ESV): "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Let us know if God's finger pokes the asteroid into a different orbit.

The gods of the nations are unpredictable: in this you are right. But Almighty Yahweh, the LORD of Hosts as manifest in Jesus Christ is sovereign and has his way in the heavens and earth

Call me when gravity doesn't predict an orbit in the Solar system.

Every crater on every planet of stone attests to gravitational forces, and impacts of great and small objects pulled down upon them in raining fire!

Yes, and your point is? Sometimes a planet gets in the way of a smaller body. The Earth is not in the way of Apophis in the near term.

Because you know them? or because they can't be evidenced to your* satisfaction?

* By "your," I don't mean just you; I mean the whole shrewdness of scientists and academians.

Let us know if God's finger pokes the asteroid into a different orbit.

If He does change Apophis to Wormwood with His finger (i.e. a miracle),* you'll know it.

* Exodus 8:19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

Since it will come within the orbit of some satellites, what if it hits a satellite, or a satellite hits it and causes it to alter course just enough to be captured by Earth's gravity and its own velocity?

Bro, the distances in space are so far that the asteroid would most likely not hit a satellite. Trust in the scientists God created here. The majority of astronomers speak the truth, and are peer reviewed, brother. Even if an artificial satellite was knocked out of orbit and into the earth, the satellite would burn up in our thick atmosphere similar to a shooting star, as satellites are small.

TLDR: Apophis is not a threat. We are safe.

Since the asteroid has about 10 million times as much mass as such a satellite, not much.

Probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference within the existing error bars of our existing predictions of its orbit.
