Matthew 24:43-44 (NIV) But
understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time
of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would
not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be
ready, because the Son of Man will come at
an hour when you do not expect him.
Luke 12:39-40 (NIV) But understand
this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief
was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at
an hour when you do not expect him."
2 Peter 3:10 (NIV) But the day of the Lord will
come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with
a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and
everything in it will be laid bare.
Revelation 3:3 (NIV) Remember,
therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent.
But if you do not wake up, I will come like a
thief, and you will not know at what
time I will come to you.
Revelation 16:15 (NIV) "Behold,
I come like a
thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his
clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully
exposed."
fellow brother in Christ... if the Lord isn't coming, why are we
being warned by so many prophets to repent, to keep watch, to be
ready for the coming of Christ? to put it in perspective;
example: if the world were to end in 3000 A.D, won't our era of
2000s A.D be nearer by 1000 years compared to our
ancestors' era of 1000s A.D? The coming of God today is nearer
by every single second, single minute, single hour compared to
yesterday's. shouldn't we be more worried if we have not
repented?
you mentioned that i've judge you? is it wrong then? you came to me
with an offensive question which even if i'm a skeptic of the
Catholic faith, i do not have an answer. tell me then, which mortal
past or present could give a detailed account of the beginning? the
theory of dinosaurs collided with our bible greatly yet our faith
do not falter for the you will enjoy the Lord's favour if
you believe in him blindly. "Happy or those who have not seen yet
believe" (John 20:29)
Lee Kwan Yew once said, "If you come to us like a gentleman, we
will treat you like a gentleman, if you come to us like a
barbarian, we will treat you like a barbarian." in my opinion (i
may be wrong) you came to me like a barbarian... there is no way
i'm going to treat you like a gentleman.
Frankly, I feel that we are not worthy of salvation... Whether
or not we repent. People who repent only seek not to burn in the
fires of hell, not for the sake of doing good. Also, like the bible
said... The Son of Man will come at the time you do not expect him.
So, how can you be sure that he will be coming? He could come at
the time when there is no longer any believers, to strike down all
who still lives.
"Do not judge lest you be judged. "For in the way that you judge
you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be
measured to you. "And why do you look at the speck that is in your
brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
"Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of
your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? "You hypocrite,
first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see
clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." (Matthew
7:1-5)
See, even you who seeks salvation have sinned. From my sentence,
you can tell that I am judging people too. There is no salvation,
my brother. It is human to sin and do evil, therefore salvation can
never be attained by human hands.
So, you wish to quote Lee Kuan Yew but not the word of God?
"But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone
strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."
(Matthew 5:39)
