End of the world
Many religions believe that the world is going to end soon, and we are living our last days because of all the crime, hate, and everyone being open about their sexuality, what are your opinions on this?

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
Not being religious, rather spiritual, I do see how humanity has created much darkness on a planet, one that was created to be a 'classroom' where souls could more quickly(but not more easily) earn vibrational points up the eternal ladder. I believe that we have yet to reach that point of no return, for there are many 'aware' people and more awakening every day to live life from their hearts. I see my heart as my soul and if I allow it to guide my choices, I'm on a path of bringing change/evolution to life on earth. If I then am standing in my power, centered in my heart, I am doing my divinely guided part to bring life on earth more love, joy and peace. By example I surely will inspire at least one other to seek their highest path and that person will then in turn inspire another.... this ripple effect will eventually reach around the planet and once the scale of human endeavor wavers toward the good, good shall escalate quickly and earth's purpose realized. I suppose I could say much more, but I've said too much already. Blessings to you in your search for answers.

i think its not the end of the world yet..its the end of the world on this earth when Jesus comes down from Heaven and takes all his ppl bak to heaven so NO its not the end of the world yet...when THAT happens...it is..hopes this makes sense...

In the NIV Bible this is what it says
Matthew 24:3-
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us" they said "when will thsi happen and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?" Jesus answered "watch out that no one decieves you. For many will come in my name declaring 'I am the Christ' and will decieve many. You will hera of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes and in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains."
I Dont know what thsi means to you but I have tried to be as straight forward as I can because I cannot answer the question with my own word but only with teh words that are in the Bible that I believe to be true.
If you have any other question sbaout the Bible I will try to help you. Please feel free to leave your questions/comments on my column or on my mypsace www.myspace.com/aeae

well, the bible has teachings on the end of the world .. In Revelation .. It says that signs will come across the earth, and some of those signs are coming to past, so people believe that the end of the world is coming, I personal am just living for God, when he comes he comes .. untill then im just waiting for him ..l0l

Well, While noone knows but god and jesus when the world will end, we ARE right in that timeline of the markofthebeast! But if you are a true christian and have accepted jesus into your heart as your savior you have nothing to worry about,he will guide you!

Hello there,
Personally, I do believe that things are winding down to the end.
If you look at the financial picture of the world, things cannot continue the way they have been going. The economy of the United States, and the plunging dollar, are going to create chaos on the world economic market. This is already beginning.
There is a world-famous CEO by the name of Chuck Missler. He is considered an authority on world economic markets. He has degrees in physics, economics, and is widely respected by anybody who's ever heard of him.
This guy, with money of his own, chose to abandon the business world and devote himself full time to a very intelligent ministry for people seeking answers.
He did this, because of overwhelming evidence, in his mind, that the world will be coming to an end soon.
The guy is brilliant.
You can find his web site here:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
... you can find many of the things he has to say in MP3 format if you have a filesharing client like Bearshare, Shareazza, lime wire or whatever.
Some of the stuff he has to say is a little hard to take it first. But I learned myself that if you want to argue with his research you better bring a gun. :-)
If you are looking for news and updates of things that looks suspiciously like a one world government forming up you should look at:
www.infowars.com
... the guy may be kind of a nut but he makes a good point.
To watch Christians arguing over when the rapture is going to happen be sure to visit:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
... there is actually a great deal of worthwhile news on this site. Try to ignore the bickering and you will learn a great deal.
If you add all these things up, something has to happen. Something is coming soon.
I honestly believe, if you do the research that I have done, you will come to the same conclusion that I have. The evidence is overwhelming.
I wish you well,
DangerNerd.

No one knows when the world is going to end.. so dont believe what people are saying!!.. Yes, it may seem like the world will end.. but that doesnt mean it is.. I think that the things happening could be a sign.. but God says in the Bible that no one knows the coming or time of Jesus.. and that it will only happen when no one is thinking about it!!.. We will know when Jesus is coming.. so dont worry about it!
I hope this helps!

it depends what you mean by 'the end of the world'. do you mean itll self destruct and we all will die, or do mean Jesus, God son will come and take his believers away to heaven? if you mean the first, whatever, like something like that would ever happen, if you mean the second, yes i think we have pissed God off and if he decided to kill us all then i dont blame him. but theres a way to escape from all of that destuction. if believe about the second you should read the book of reavelations {in the bible}, itll answer all your questions. if you dont, have you ever wonder if there was a God?? if you have i strongly advise you do some serious soul searching. wont it be awful if you were left behind? {not to preach at you or anything} pleze rate

the world is going to end soon because jesus said that he would come back for his belivers
]
i know youve got about a million answers but im still gonna try... the way we look at the end of the world at my church..is that the we've been living the days of the end of the world since Jesus died on the cross.. it doesnt exactly mean that itll happen in 1 day...but ya noe...Gods the only one that knows! RoCkEr4GoD
]
well nobody can really know.. only God knows the answer to that.. the world wont come to an end. Jesus will come and save the believers..
]
The reason why the the different religions believe that is because the bible tells that Jesus will return, and he gives a general time. Nobody but God REALLY knows when the end of the world is going to be, but people assume that it is coming soon, because of what the bible says about the time period.
Hope I helped!

Well, most religions think they correctly translate things, but they don't. There is no way to really know when the world will end....unless you die, go to heaven and ask....no...wait...not even JESUS knows! only God does!! So any religion that says that is from a false source. or they are guessing.
]
people have been saying that for ages! every now and then people spread the word and get everyone freaked out. some of those religions are either a) freaking everyone out to make them buy into that religion or b) chasing money. thats my opinion. plz handle it with maturity. <3

hey, read "the dissolution of society" by Jack nagely, they're selling the last edition at Books-a-million for a dollar, it may help you catalog and arrange your thought patterns to better understand the dissolution that is approaching. a dissolution does not mean the end of civilization or humanity (unless the NATO alliance fails in the upcoming battle with the golden hegemony(china, north korea, etc.) or if the russians don't join the alliance. but you could look at the future in this way; most eastern religions believe that death just leads to a new form of life, so as this society breaks down, a new and hopefully better one shall emerge, unless W does something extremely foolish. unfortunatley for any western nationalist or complete asia-phobe, the chinese are looking to be pretty strong candidates for the building of the new world order. me, I intend to die before letting the Chicom's shock armies step foot on the western hemisphere.
semper fi, carry on.
-hitler
p.s.- we would be outnumbered nearly three to one even with NATO and the Rusians behind us, hopefully siberia does turn out to be the vast treasure chest of resources that it looks like, and that the russian economy can take the massive boost to improve her quality of life so that our former opponents can be strong allies in the defense of their motherland.

First of all, people have been claiming that the end of days is near for, well, pretty much forever. John the Baptist was one such doom-sayer, and ever since people have been looking for signs of the second coming of Christ.
In my opinion, we still have many years left on this little rock.
However, I think there has been an increasing amount of strange, disturbing occurrances in the last few years, but I see it as an encouraging sign - all the darkness that had been sitting beneath the surface is starting to emerge in big, big chunks. While unpleasant, the end effect will be a world full of people who are more connected, more loving, and more in tune with each other than ever before.

I personally havnt heard of anyone telling me the world is going to end. Any religions in specific?

the world will end in a nucular war started by Bush or a firery explosion neather will happen for atleast another 10 months

I do not believe it will so soon. However, one day it will, without having anything to do with religion. What will make it come to an end will be something caused by nature. The sun is going ot explode sometime because it is a star and stars become novas and explode. Or it will come to an end because of the stupidity of people. We will either destroy the atmosphere, therefore, will have no oxygen or we will get into a nuclear war and blow up the world. However, it will not end because of crime, hate (except contries hating each other), or sexuality. Nevertheless, this is my opinion and this may differ from yours.

People tend to ingnore the fact that violent crime, intense hatred, and sexual promiscuity, among other things, is nothing new. It's been going on for centuries, and was probably just as bad then as it is now. Just take one look at the Old Testament. It's filled with records of war, murder, torture, and rape.
I think people think things are worse now, than before, because of the "good old days" mentality. The fact of the matter is, the good old days really weren't so good. People tend to forget the negative and just remember the positive. It's not that man is getting any worse, it's that our ideals are getting better. Our ideas of right and wrong are evolving, becoming more complex, though we haven't figured out a way to appropriately stop bad behavior.
I don't believe the end is near. (If it is near, it's not because of any ancient prophecy. We'll most likely either destroy our planet or use our technology to kill each other.) Religions have been saying, "The end is near" for centuries, even millenia. For example, early Christians thought that the end of the world was fast approaching soon after the death of Christ. Well, we've been waiting two-thousand years and it still ain't here yet. Guess I'll stop worrying about it and get back to living...That is what God intended, isn't it? For me to enjoy life while I'm living, right?
I would also like to point out one interesting fact. In the New Testament, it says that we will know the end is approaching when the stars fall from the sky and the sky goes dark. Scientists have told us that when a star burns out, we still receive it's light for 30,000 years, because of the spead of light. Therefore, even if every star died tomorrow, we'd still receive light for another 30,000 years. (Unless we were sucked into a black hole.) That means we'd still have 30,000 years to live before the sky went dark and Christ re-appeared. So, yeah...

Yes, lots of religions do postulate that the world is going to end soon. Or that's how many people interpret the texts of the many religions. What's the end? In order to say the world is going to end, we need a specific definition of "end." This may seem pretty obvious, but the way I see it; as is much with any social construction the "end" is relative and is how we pervieve it.
Actually it's how we tend to percieve change. Does change mean the end of one element and the beggining of a new, or is it a continous phenomonen. For example are you a completely different individual than you were when you were two years old. Think about it, your thinking patterns have changed, even physically ... all your cells are renewed, so physically you have nothing exactly the same as when you were two years old ... but did you as a person end at a certain period?
I think we can extend this line of thinking to "the world ending" I personally think that the way things are now may not be forever, actually I know for sure, for everything is impermanent to the trees againg and renewing, to the seasons, to the way we think as individuals to the consitition of every matter on this planet. So Yes in a way the world is going to end, but not in the way as in "final" if that makes any sense. We may not be able to comprehend anything else beyond what we see and feel right now, but that does not mean the world, universe, time, what have you will all the sudden dissapear altogether ... think of physics ... does energy altogether dissappear? Nope, it just changes form ...
Just a little something to think about ...

I belive that crime, hate, and sexuality wont end the world. The world might end but who knows when. All of those things have been around for a long time and we are still here and the world didnt end. x0

If there is any kind of God/ess up there, perhaps he/she/they is/are tyring to flush us all out like God did in Noah's Ark. Lol, just a random theory. Perhaps the water in Noah's Ark was a tsnunami?
What I really think, speculation aside, is that there has always been crime. People are just more open about it now. I also think that there is no way the world will end because a few people have come out and said, 'I'm gay'. I think that will, if anything, make the world a better place because it will get people more used to the idea of homosexuality and perhaps, over time, eliminate (or at least reduce) discrimination on those grounds.
My religion isn't saying that the world will end. No offence, but what kind of religion says to their people, 'oh, you're all horrible, the world will end because of it'?
It's a scientific fact that the world will end one day. I personally believe that the fact that a very small percentage of the population are murderers, or rapists, will make that come any sooner. Besides, if you think about it, there ISN'T that much crime - it's only a very small percentage of the people of the world who have committed a crime punishable by prison sentence or death. We just tend to hear them all, so it sounds like it happens a lot. Admittedly, crime levels could be a LOT lower, but a lot of it is hyped up.
I think the main worry on people's minds should be how low our natural resources are, because without them we are effectively screwed. It's a pity that no-one really seems to realise that.
The world is going to end whatever we do. No offence to anyone here, but I think the theory that the world will end because of how many people we go around punching and throwing bricks at is utter crap. We could, obviously, end the POPULATION ourselves, through killing everyone, but dammit that would take an awful lot of effort, lol...if you ask me, the only way for humanity to end the world is for them to explode a few nuclear bombs.
Blessed Be,

I really don't know what to believe.
I think they have been saying this for ages.
I think there has alway's been crime and wars and hate. I don't honestly know that they are more now than they used to be.I think they are reported better now a day's and sensationalized in the media more.I know for a fact that more wars (that killed plenty) were fought in the name of religion than any other thing. It is all a big mystery.That's my nickels worth for you! Not worth much more i'm afraid :)
]
Well, I dont think its anything we should be worried about. The pope died, oooo my gosh its the end of the world. No, thats just a fact of life. I think that when the world ends, nobody will suspect it~ and it sure as hell wont be because the pope died! I thik that all of the bad things that are happeneing now are just a result of the media and technology. It isnt a sign of the end of the world.. and last time I checked this wasnt opinionators.com!
♥Emily

The world WILL end, but definitely not in anyones lifetime who is alive at the moment, in my opinion. The Pope dies. Oh my god, the world is going to end. Yes he was a highly respected man, but he died. Another is to take his place... and this stuff has been around for a long time, crime and hate. It's just that we never acknowledged it. So no, I don't believe the world is coming to an end. If it is, I expect a spectacular ending to such a screwed up planet. Humanity did, and still is, doing a great job messing this planet up. Rock on homo sapiens.
EJ out...

i think we shouldnt be worrying about the world ending soon.. it probably wont end until millions of years from now.. theres alot of crime and hate but theres also good things.. the US is helping countries all over the world and there are so many people out there helping our world.. i dont think theres anything wrong with being gay either.. God gave us a free will so that means people can be gay if they want to
]
Hell if its going to happen you cant stop it RIGHT??? So if you cant prevent it then stop worrying becasue if its going to happen its going to happen theres nothing you can do about it!!!!
]
i'm a Christian, and i do believe the world is going to end. i just don't know when. and it won't be because of crime or w/e. it'll be because of all the signs in revelation. one of the sign is jerusalem will be rebuilt. and they already have the design. sooo yea. thats what i believe.
xoxo

I dono about the religion but i kinda think the same thing... it's kinda sad though... but if ppl would be more worried about the world then themselves maybe it would change...
]
Crime, hate and different sexualities have been around FOREVER, and we're still here.
]
My religion believes that the world is going to end soon because in the Bible it says that in the 2000th year that stuff will happen like wars and stuff like that its all in the book of relevations.but i don't think it will happen soon but maybe in like 2999
]
I believe that crime, hate, and open sexuality won't end the world. Sure, those three things make the world a crappier place at times, but sickness and natural disasters seem to me like the only things to actually end the world. :)
]
I honestly dont beleive this...but i respect the opinions of those who beleive its true..because we are all entitled to our opinions. In 1999 there was a bunch of crap that the world was going to end on new years when it turned 2000..but look we are all still here. Its just not what i beleive..
]
The people who say that are stupid. THey're mad about people being honest about their sexuality. It sounds dumb to me. Its just an early form of acceptance among them.
The people who think the world will end are idiots.
]
sex, fightings, and crime could cause wars but nothing will make our wrld end soon tho. I read a newspaper a few years ago, and it say about 1, 998 more years and Earth will end, so you don't have to wry about that!
]
Crime (i.e. violence etc.) probably peaked during WW II, so chances are we're safe from that. Same with hate, though it might have peaked during the cold war instead. I don't know about sexuality, but the birth rate is finally looking to fall again.
I'd have to say we're safe from those. Now, the Mayans predicted that the world will end in 2012, and to the best of my severaly limited knoweledge they've never revised that date which lends them more credibility than other religions and/or prophets. Ask me again in 2013, eh?

I'm not religious. Yes, I think our world is quite corrupted, but there are still good people out there. I think everyone deserves a chance to find happiness. I don't believe the world will end soon because of the crime and etc. If it does end it'll either be because of some scientific thing like another Ice Age or something. It is possible someone might blow up the world because of a bomb or whatever, but if the world ever does end, at least some of us have already found happiness.
Everyone has the right to believe whatever they like. I hope you see my point of view and I by no means am making you change your thoughts.
]
My opinion is that the world is not goin to end anytime soon. Different people have different opinions on this issue. There are a lot of bad things going on but i don't think that it is goin to cause the end of the world. If you are open about your sexuality then it's probably better than hiding it. So go with your own belief.
