Kathgirl Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Has anyone heard about this claim that the world will end on May 21, 2011? It's the bogus claim put forth by Family Radio and some of its "Christian" talk show hosts. The sad part is that proponents of this belief are not pursuing education or careers since the world is about to end. Even their little children are told all about it.

Vincent Vega Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The rapture is a modern protestant construct. I am not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 This thread would be a lot more interesting if the title was "May 21 2011 Rupture???????" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Doesn't Scripture say only God knows the day and hour? Yawn...they seriously need to stop obsessing over the End. Go out and help the Lord save souls or something, yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle_eye222001 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Have not heard it. Every time I hear someone claiming to know when the end of time will be, I wonder how they explain the contradiction of knowing when the Bible claims no one knows but the Father in heaven.

[/quote] Yea, me too. Seems like a pretty significant contradiction. Maybe the KJV conveniently left that verse out? Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starets Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I remember how there were 88 reasons that the world would end in 1988. Obviously, it didn't. I am not worried, especially since the idea of a "rapture" was unheard of before about 1820. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A view that always made me unpopular with then fellow Protestants (in addition to the one you've heard me rant on so many times before) is that every day a single person continues to expect the End to begin, will be another day that the Lord won't be coming back with a sword in hand.

Marie-Therese Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm too busy for the world to end that day, it's my daughter's 13th birthday. They need to reschedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Would have been cooler to say December 21, 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not worried. [/quote] Isn't it a modern, protestant, and largely American construct? And I agree with the observation that such predictions contradict the Bible. Gosh, even Jesus said he didn't know when. Only the Father knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
