    The rapture has been coming any day now for two thousand years. It’s funny too because the Bible states itself that nobody knows when the second coming will happen and yet these idiots still try to predict it

    Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

      After talking about end times and signs of end times the bible literally says

      Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. (Matthew 24:34).

      Christians need to read their own book.

        Some evangelical sects believe that one of the apostles was transported to heaven without dying, so they believe that that generation has technically not passed away.

            You jest, but it do be like that. Everything from grape juice for the no-alcohol crowd to virginal births for the no-sex crowd to thinking they can manipulate current events to rush fulfillment of the prophecies to force Jesus to come back sooner for the 21st century Christian Pharisee crowd, there is a way to make it work.

            Shift it, twist it, ignore the parts they don’t want, and they can easily make that book say whatever they need it to say . . . and then make it say the exact opposite tomorrow, because they’re flexible linguistic contortionists that way.

      It’s already happened and nobody noticed.

      A couple of hippies disappeared no one else was worthy.

      I rarely chime in on these sorts of things, but maybe the bible was talking about AGI. ahahaha. We have no idea if it is really coming and at what hour. Might already be here. The Bible never said the Son of Man would be a human and AGI is our offspring.

          Right. I have been saying this all over the place when I see humans doing awful things. I am not worried about AGI or ASI as much as I am worried about humans destroying the planet one way or another. Just ask the rest of the animal kingdom who they rather have in change.
