Jesus is coming back someday and he’ll back like a thief in the night. (1 Thessalonians 5:2) We need to examine our lives and get serious. For those who haven’t you need to accept jesus as your savior and repent for your sins to get to heaven - no other belief, religion, or way will get you there. For those who accepted jesus but aren’t living righteously, you need to repent for your sins daily and ask God for the strength and wisdom to live righteously. -God bless, take it easy. ---

Thank you, Jesus. I predict you will be a one month wonder, but if not, welcome to SD all the same. ---

No, that’s incorrect. No gods or godlings actually exist, and all religions are myths. ---

Jesus is not coming back. In fact I’m doubtful he was even here in the first place. Sorry, we’re just an intelligent species of Homo sapiens: nothing more, nothing less. ---

I just heard on the radio that Jesus just left Chicago. Reports say that he’s bound for New Orleans. ---

The thing is, no one can ever be perfect. We could all start prepping now and when Jesus came, we would still all suck. That is the nature of our God/Universe-given humanity. In my humble opinion, it’s most important to be open. If Jesus comes back, we need to accept that he’s here, and not stone him to death, or reject him out of fear he’ll notice we suck. Being open-hearted and open-minded will do a lot more for “preparing” us than living right will. ---

You know, I just don’t see the appeal of Heaven. The sort of people who supposedly go there are people that I want to avoid, I have a low tolerance for harp music, I don’t think I could stomach singing praises to a god all day, every day, and I think that I’d be bored out of my skull. I’d need a lobotomy to enjoy Heaven. And while I’ve heard that all dogs go to heaven, what about cats? I’m not going ANYWHERE unless it offers cats, chocolate, tea, books, and video games. ---

> [@jesusguy](#): > > Yes, I’m dead serious about everything I wrote in that entire post. Longest running doomsday cult of all time!!!, how can you ignore that the bible says it was all going to end so quickly…this is not just one line in the bible!!! Luke 21:27-32 Matthew 26: 63, 64 Mark 13:26-30 Hebrews 1:1-2 1 Corinthians 10:11 1 Peter 4:7 Thessalonians 4:15-17 James 5:8, 9 Revelation 1:3 Revelation 22:6,7,10,12,20 Jesus’ prophecy is a failed one. ---

> [@jesusguy](#): > > Yes, I’m dead serious about everything I wrote in that entire post. I will accept that you are serious. In light of that seriousness, can you please explain why Jesus lied about when he would return? (Matt 16:28, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27) I mean, come on, you don’t seriously believe that there are 2000 year old Jews wandering the Earth, do you? ---
