If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.

People have been saying this for over a thousand years, every generation says the same thing, I highly doubt any of it is true and if is true, well there isnt anything any of us can do about it other then kiss your ass goodbye.
They happen many times, the thing is the way the bible is written anyone from anytime frame can relate to things in the bible, 1000years ago man could of said it was the end times and proof was the collapse of the Roman empire, or the collapse of society when slaves were freed here in America, you see society tends to use current events and relates them to biblical prophecy, in a sense its mans need to be a part of great events, gives us purpose, a oneness with God.
I am actually talking about a complete fulfillment of prophecy which has yet to occur. A meteor has not hit the earth yet and wiped out most of existence in the time between now and the death of Jesus.
Also meteor strikes happen all the time, and for a big one well thats not if but when it will happen, I am 100% sure it will happen because we live in space in a giant shooting range, the question will we have the technology to prevent it or live th
ough it, but in no way does that means Jesus is coming or the end of the world as predicted in biblical prophecy, you see what the bible does?
They say things like the world will end in great turmoil, well no shit sherlock lol we always been at war, or the world will end with fire in the sky, ahhh duh, that could mean anything, meteor, plane crash, solar flare, pretty much any thing so the bible uses common things that happen all the time and water it down with a twist of word play and says SEE, fires from the shy, proof I tell ya, proof the Bible is true lol.
The bible prays on mans ignorance to make predictions, and has been for thousands of years.

Revelation is actually very specific as to how the world will end. It isn't as vague as you are making it seem.

I am quite aware. However when the bible says "burning mountain" it is kind of giving you are figurative scale of the size of this meteor. It's an apocalyptic sized rock, not a football sized rock.

I should probably break this down, but I shall quell it here.
The world is surely going to end in turmoil. Anybody can predict that. Doesn't make it wrong though. It's an obvious thing.
Revelation is very descriptive and uses so many literary devices that it is hard to understand. Debating on it is very difficult.
Also I don't think a plane crash will cause the end of the world. It's a little to small.
Solar flare? Sure. It's possible, but again this doesn't make the bible incorrect on it's predictions.
pretty much any thing so the bible uses common things that happen all the time and water it down with a twist of word play
I didn't know flaming mountain sized rocks occur often. I must drive over these massive craters all the time and never notice. I also must not watch the news to much because I haven't seen anything about an apocalyptic plane crash and I have yet to be killed by a solar flare. I am aware that these flares occur often and may become more violent, but I still have yet to see one wipe out humanity. So, I disagree, Warjin. If the bible was to water these things down it would need to be extremely vague in all areas.
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
The Trumpets
6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
Pretty much sums up an ancient view of a meteor strike.
Here is the actual website I got it from if you want to confirm it.
Why would I refute a baseless assertion about a book of baseless assertions when I can just as easily mock Srom and Jack Van Impe at the same time?
I don't know. Maybe to prove him wrong, or to actually participate in debating, or maybe to learn something new about the bible, I don't know, just brainstorming here.

It seems I know too much about the Bible already. I'm constantly being asked "Where in the Bible does it say that?"

I don't believe you. Here is why. Remember saying this?
Ezekiel 4:12
God tells some poor bastard to eat his own shit and rub it on his face.
Now that's hate.
Remember how the bible never said that? The verse had nothing to do with that remember? This is what the verse truly said:
Ezekiel 4:12 - You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human dung.
Yeah. I don't believe you have that much biblical knowledge. Especially since your style of debating consists of insults, vexation of biblical passages, and obscure humor.
I just did that to force you to look up ridiculous Bible quotes like the rest of us (you know, since you said you didn't do that because you prefer to use your own knowledge and stuff).
it seem like no one notice the caption scripture ''on the question'' are we living in the last days was not ( 1 timothy 3,1,5 ) but ( 2 timothy 3,1,5 ) that was an honest mistake. but he question remains the same.... when the bible talks about the last days and the conditions it talks about we can clearly see that times have change and in most cases not for the better. most of us can relate to when we could remember when in our community we were able to walk down the street corner,to the store,our go out with your love one for a walk in the park. or when kids were able to play out on their street. yes times have change and with progress we can expect these changes to take place..more than anything the condition of the hearts of men has change, ...... 2 timothy 3, verse 3. for men will be lovers of themselves,lovers of money, and in verse 3 it talks about them ''having no natural affection''. it seems that man has mastered art of deadening their conscience. these are so of many signs the gods word the bible has given use in order that we stay on the watch'' '' keep our senses'' . the total dis -regard for human life , violence, the endless wars and conflicts,the lawlessness,corruption in the worlds governments.will soon be a thing of the past''thy kingdom come thy will be done as it is in the heavens '' Matthew chapter 6 -9 .. this is the promise,, gods heavenly ruler-ship the the prophet Daniel wrote about at Daniel chapter 2 verse 44 .. yes we are living in the last days''
