Topic: Ephesians 2:4..................................(also...I have a confession to make).
+Father Merrin !u5oFWxmY7U — 8.8 years ago #49,053
"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ — by grace you have been saved!" - Ephesians 2:4
Those who demand confessions must be prepared to offer them, and here is mine: last night, in fear of annihilation, my faith was tested, and I prayed that His will NOT be done. Like Christ in Gethsemane, I prayed that we might be spared this time, that His judgement may be delayed just a while longer.
And for reasons I don't yet fully understand, we were spared. God heard my prayer (and doubtless many other prayers) and decided to postpone the Last Judgement. Today I wept when I considered the vastness of God's love and forgiveness. We were all supposed to die today. Can you even begin to imagine the immense power required to prevent that from happening? I have no idea how anyone can doubt God's power and love for humanity after today.
God bless us all, and may we all give thanks for His mercy in sparing us.

List of dates the world was supposed to end.
Sept 23, 2017-What happened?
July 29, 2016 - What happened?
Oct. 7, 2015 -What happened?
Sept. 27, 2015 -What happened?
April 15, 2014 -what happened?
Dec. 21, 2012.-What happened?
August/September 2011-What happened?
May 21, 2011-What happened?
Jan. 1, 2000 -What happened?
And what's funny, all these dates were made up by christians. Then, when nothing happened, you claim either the wrong date, or your god spared you. So explain to me what happened on each of these "failed" dates.
I'd rather trust a scientist. All their discoveries have been proven.

Scientists have not done anything...but scratch the surface on the beginning to understand how the Creator's masterpiece is put together..
All they have done...is to analyze what has already been happening and gain insight into what has always been possible from the beginning..
they are simply ahead of the masses in their understanding of it due to their focus and constant examination of it all..

Why can't you christians scratch the surface, and explain why the past 8 dates of Doomsday, has been failures?
> All they have done...is to analyze what has already been happening and gain insight into what has always been possible from the beginning..
Do we need the scientists to analyze why the Dommsday theory has failed?
Nope, same reason I have given. It was never going to happen.
> they are simply ahead of the masses in their understanding of it due to their focus and constant examination of it all..
They understand why things happen. This is why they are scientist.
christians always come up with a lame excuse on why something happens. Like, "it was gods plan". Or "the devil was the cause of it."

It's a pity you stopped reading after the first sentence because you'd have seen that the very first example was of a scientist whose "discovery" of a planet was proven to be false. So your claim that "All their discoveries have been proven" makes you look very, very stupid indeed :)))

A prayer of thanks for having been spared yesterday. Feel free to include it in your own prayers today:
Lord I come before You, desiring to provide thanks.
Father, I have so much to be thankful for, things unseen and seen,
that You have done in my life.
Lord, mostly I am thankful for the relationship that I have with You.
Lord, You initiated this relationship, by what Your Son endeavored to accomplish,
paying the price for my sin, redeeming and reconciling me.
Dear Heavenly Father, You know the times I have been ungrateful, held ill thoughts toward You and my fellow humans. You know the times I complain and grumble about life and its circumstances, about suffering, going through what seem endless trials and tribulations. Even yielding my members to unholy deeds.
Yet God You are and always will be there with me, even when it seems like I am forever in the wilderness, running further and further from You, You, my God are there guiding me back to Your loving arms.
I am thankful Lord for everything that You allow to cross my path. Thankful for the decisions that You allow me to make and the lessons that come from these decisions.
I’m thankful, Lord, that I do not have to live under condemnation anymore, that You have truly set me free, that I am a new creation that I need not live under the law anymore. Thankful Lord that You have given me joy unspeakable. Thankful Lord that You are longsuffering, allowing me to mature in You!
Lord, words do not express my thankfulness. For Your mighty power is at work in me, transforming me, renewing my mind. To You Lord belong thanks eternal.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
