my o my...timmy finds all this cool?!haha u are a freak dude!! i think its quite scary definitely not cool... but i think whatever that was discuss could be just representations for certain things... which makes it really undisclosed as to when the end times will come? alot of people, groups, religious organizations have tried to put a mark but failed to do so. if you really wanna know right, just google and you can find alot of predictions... but i feel that at the heart of it. The book of Revelations spills out the deepest darkest of sin and reign of satan in the end of days and the main motivation is for us to identify them so as to stay away and at the same time for us to reach out to as many as possible lest till the end of days... but on that topic again, i really wonder if the bible was being written now, what representations would be used..

haha, i am so not a freak, cos the end of the world is the coolest thing ever man! haha, anyways i was at life bookshop, was with nick, goona side-track abit, life bookshop all over singapore will be closed on tues, FOREVER! sad ain't it, anyways back to the 'end of the world' topic, i was bored so i took something from the shop and read, i cant remember it clearly cos was tired and all, it said tat the world has alrdy ended when Jesus was crucified and we have been living in the end times for 2000++ yrs now so the end of the world can come anytime now, so we must prepare for it
and someone told me tat in revelations is like 'placed wrongly' in the bible.Not saying anything wrong rite? tat person told me tat (if i am not wrong),SHUD placed rite after genisis.
Anyways this is something else tat i found out frm duno where, it was becos of eve or adam, i cant remember, ate the apple, so after tat, we would be sent to eternal death. OKay, imagine there is this bridge, leading us to god, and after eating the apple the brigde is gone, and we cant go to god, noone hired a 'construction worker'. yeah? get it so far? so god so loved us so much, he sent this 'construction worker' aka Jesus to mend the bridge for us? so if we live our life close to his or same as his, we shud be able to go back to god? am i making sense? correct me if i am wrong aite?

u are making total sense man .... just because adam and eve ate the apple EVERY child born after adam has a SIN , ORIGINAL SIN, and it is through baptism, which is the accepting of GOD that we are cleansed of it -where baptism is the act of letting jesus mend the bridge.
now we look at the difference of being a christian and a christ follower being christian is someone who alrdy had the bridge mended for then by Jesus in wood so it can easily break again. a christ follower is someone who walk in Jesus footsteps, after the bridge was made for them in wood, they follow Christ reinforcing each millimeter with metal plates, not only making their connection with GOD more stable and strong, but by working with Christ all the "hard labour" they grow "strong" as a person too. err hope this helps

haha yeah man, its all becos of tat stupid apple.haha. yeah, and there is this saying tat the devil is locked up in this place wif eternal fire (hell) for a thousand years, and when the thousand years is up, satan will come rise up to earth and bring more ppl to his army of evil-doers, may it be anit-christ or wad.
so when the time is near, the devil will rise, corrupt ppl, and try to turn the whole world into chaos, and we, as christians, must not GET PULLED into this black hole but instead PULL ppl out of it. bringin ppl into God's army to fight this great battle tat is about to come.
side-tracking again, i read this book at life, saying tat, god loves us so much tat he wants us to be with him, so all we have to do is be sorry and repent all our sins to him, so tat we can be together wif him in paradise. and another thing i read was, noone knew god was like, wad he looked like, how tall he was, wad was his skin colour. den ppl start to doubt tat wad they are believing in was jus a big 'hu-hah'. so god sent his only son, Jesus, to represent him and bring ppl to God to show him tat he is real. so we must live like God to experience him. am i right again? tell me pls..

dude when u make reference to bibles leave a reference like Revelations 20:?? so we can read up exactly from the bible or refereal points.... errrr yeah thats the idea of an evangilical ministry e.g. eXcess... to bring pple into God's Army. well... yeah that is one of the reasons, one of the other reasons is Jesus is coming to bring fire to the earth -Luke 12:49. Fire in this sense could mean holy spirit, judgement, passion for Christ... many more meanings.... We must live like Christ to experience the love of God, and by living like Christ it is our duty to spread the love of God.
P.S. the bible says fruit not an apple... but apple is good

yea the best preparation we can do is to be ready. ask god to forgive our sins, repent, master ourselves, maintain intimacy with god and help others to be saved. if only it would be that simple....
