Should We Pray To Know The Day Of Jesus' Second Coming?

 

Important notice: Since atheists do not believe in the existence of God, this topic is irrelevant to them. Please don't participate.  And I hope, any atheist that came from a gentle family background will not participate.... this is only for theists, especially that believe the Bible being the Word of God.


"Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

 

 

 

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates..." (Acts 1:6,7)

 

 

 

Here Jesus states that, we shouldn't know the time of His Second Coming (but to wait with preparation). Still then, if a

 

 

 

Christian prays to know the date of His Second coming, does he/she commits a sin?

Well its already happening tough times are coming ahead and also all of the prophecies have been fulfilled except for the rapture. That's the only thing. Also I heard a prophecy from Ukraine who have a gift of prophecy and they said that tough times are coming ahead for Christians and I believe its going to happen. Persecution is going to start in the US in the future.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

HOLY CRAP, so you actually ARE mentally insane.

Wow, you are so scary. You are seriously going to kill someone someday, aren't you? Or start some satanic cult.

Man, when you die, you are going to hell FOR SURE. You are truly a dark witch, aren't you?

No offense again, but who are you to say that he is going to hell for sure. I thought that atheists were asked not to participate in this debate? How can you say that there is a hell when you don't even believe in God?

Did I say I was scary? Did I say I was going to kill someone someday? Why make the assumption?

How do you know I am going to go to hell? Your not God are you? Then don't say I am going to go to hell when your not God and God makes that decision not you.

You know you saying that I am going to hell doesn't scare me I don't know why you continue to do it. Its means to me that your doing something totally idiotic and stupid.

All the names you call me is stupid and untrue, but thanks anyway I really apreciate you trying to care for me when all you do is insult me

And telling me that I am going to hell doesn't bother me since I have Jesus Christ who protects me from those evil insults of yours.

80% of the population in the US is religious. Mostly Christian.

Are you saying that us Atheists (The 20%) are going to persecute you? What the actual hell. You have clearly been generalizing/misunderstanding what Atheists really are. We don't want to persecute you, we just want to encourage independent thinking, intelligence and the truth. We want the human race to appreciate Science, so we can advance into the future instead of being stuck in the past with ancient, flawed and harmful ideologies. The "signs" have been happening all the time; they have happened multiple times centuries ago. Most of the world does not suffer famine, wars (such as in Afghanistan) have cooled down. If you think the war in Afghanistan was bad, think about world war I and II, where millions had died. What you are speaking of is prophetic lunacy.

(Remove yourself from such irrational thoughts, we don't want you knowing the truth of our new world order.)

You say that you won't persecute us now but once it starts you guys are going to do that. And its fine if atheists persecute me and other Christians because Jesus said a time will come when persecution will happen to Christians.

You guys will have the chance, just you wait and see.

The book was written all at once, not over time. Whoever made up the prophecy, made up that it was fulfilled so the story worked and it was more convincing as truth to the (usually very ignorant) reader. Just like today, Harry Potter had prophecies that were "fullfilled", but its a story and the author had full control over whether it was fulfilled or not. The bible is not based on fact, scientific or historical.

Haven't kept track, so I'll just ask, maybe someone knows. Is the description even bigger this time?

Side: (No) Doesn't commit sin

It should be obvious by know that prayer doesn't work, you are just talking to yourself out loud.

Side: (No) Doesn't commit sin

One is praying for knowledge so that I believe they are not committing a sin. A sin is an act of immorality, praying for knowledge isn't evil
