Stumbled across this when I mis-spelled the Stillen Brakes website.

Fundy BS

All this has been clearly debunked so many times here, it's annoying to think that people are still making claims which run contradictory to modern biblical scholarship. Looks like they're baptists, surprise!:banghead:

THE SOON COMING CLIMAX
(BIBLE PROPHECY—PROOF THE BIBLE IS TRUE AND
WE ARE NOW IN THE LATTER DAYS) and HOW TO BE SAVED
(A brief summary)

This message may be called a road sign of warning. Some may look at a sign that reads—THE BRIDGE IS OUT, and say, "Oh, someone is just trying to scare us into taking another road; let’s go on the same way." They go on and plunge to their death. The sign was not meant to scare people, but to warn them of impending danger. The sign was put there, because someone cared and didn’t want others to perish.
God wants you to know, WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS (the prophecies from the Bible in this message), KNOW YE THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGH AT HAND-Lk 21:31.

Will Russia and some Arab nations invade Israel and the U.S.A. become involved? Yes.

Will 1/4th of the world’s population die? Yes.

Will there be a one-world system or global economy? Yes.

Will diseases increase such as AIDS? Yes.

Did you know the Bible tells us about what is happening?




Yeah, really.



WHAT IS GOING ON?

People have said the end was near many times in the past—true. But did you know the Bible shows us no prophecy of the latter days meant anything until Israel was reborn into a nation? Did you know God’s Word indicates to us a generation would not pass from Israel’s rebirth, till all be fulfilled (which includes the Rapture, the Tribulation, and Jesus Christ’s return)? A Jewish generation can be figured from the age of 20.

Many people have been preaching about the latter days of the end times in churches, on radio, TV, and through books and magazines. Some include Billy Graham, Hal Lindsey, Ray Brubaker, John Hagee, David Breese, Zola Levitt, Jack Van Impe, Peter Lalonde, and Tim LaHaye just to mention a few. To those that understand the Bible, no explanation is needed. To those that are prideful, self-centered, that love this world, that despise God’s correction, that are contentious or seeking the praise of men rather than of God, no explanation is possible-ref Dan 12:4, 10; Mt 24:37, 39.

It has been said that it is virtually impossible for anyone to make 11 straight predictions, 2000 years into the future. There is only one chance in 8 x 10 to the 63rd power, or 80 with 63 zeros after it that such a thing could be done. If such a set of predictions existed, it would have to be the Word of God.




What's with the math?

Jack the Bodiless

If there's a fifty-fifty chance per prophecy, getting eleven right would be 1 in 2 to the power of 11, or 1 in 2048.

But I've seen that figure before somewhere. As with creationism, it seems that this BS is made up by a small number of "Prime Liars" and then repeated mindlessly by the sheep.

Did you see the tables with data on each book of the old and new testaments? They're still preaching that the pentatuch was written by Moses, and that Mathew was a apostle and wrote first. In the face of their own scholars.

"that's crazy! If he was dying, he wouldn't have taken the time to write "auuuugh", he would have just said it!"

Of course, the odds for a prophecy being fulfilled rise significantly if the prophecy is made after the event occurs....

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds

"THE SOON COMING CLIMAX"

quite funny

Interesting how fundies use language so prone to being interpreted as sexual innuendo...

It's to remind us that if people who believe the end of the world is at hand (like them) get into power, everyone's fucked ^_^

Hmmm. They didn't print my entry to the guestbook.
