Hopefully. At least we won't be subjected to the Islamic pressure to "convert or die" as non-Muslims are now being subjected to in the Mid-East.

as for their constitution, why should i care. the USA has its own constitution and i haven't seen any CREDIBLE news regarding it being challenged by islam.
The Qur'an is the foundation for the "Islamic Constitution" and we are actually seeing the Constitution of the U.S. being challenged by the "politically correct" pressures of Muslim groups who want to establish their own form of rule over Muslims within U.S. communities. From there, it will spread to politically influencing "CHANGE" one step at a time. Spokesmen for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) have already publicly stated that Islam is here to replace the American Constitution. Meanwhile, Americans continually shrug those comments off as being "impossible".

no, we shrug them off as not being true threats.

the only people that are worried about this kind of stuff are you chicken little types who want the world to end to prove you are reading the book right.

the fact of the matter is that doom sayers like yourself have always been around, and are ALWAYS discredited. do a little research on that instead of trying to find the antichrist all the time and you might be relieved. I mean, do you have the faintest idea of how many religious have come before you prophasizing the end of the world? well it aint happened yet.


your hate-filled BS is old, not just getting there, it already is......

Suppose the Antichrist claims to be The Jewish Messiah - AND the Second Coming of Christ - AND the Islamic Mahdi - AND the fifth Buddha - AND the 10th Avatar of Vishnu - AND Saoshyant - AND the return of Xenu - AND a dozen other prophecied religious figures, all rolled into one charasmatic Savior... who claims that all religions are goody-goody-true and we're all correct, and we're all valid together - let's all sing kumbaya!


And to remove all traces of doubt goes and does something like die (or appear to die) and return to life.



And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

so the antichrist is david blaine?


all religions are equally valid, as they are all based on human interpretaions of something we can all agree that humans have no concept of.

i aint worried, cuz even if you read the book the way star does it isn't happening.

I don't know how he reads the book - however, I'm not overly concerned about living in the end times either. I don't believe they're happening any time soon.




And if they were - I'd just as soon not think about it. I'm not expecting it to be anything resembling pleasant.

and i'm not expecting it to be anything we would comprehend. I think we would get about as much warning as the bug that hits the windshield, with a similar result......

Suppose RFID really is the mark like some of the conspiracy nuts claim. Should we fight their existence? If they are the mark, isn't it pointless to fight them?

Shouldn't we all just do the right thing without all of the scare tactics, hellfire and brimstone, and eternal damnation talk?

It almost seems like there are people who are hoping to be standing next to St. Peter saying "I told you so" to everyone who doesn't get in.

Interesting comparison.


And I agree with it.

It is not a question of anyone wanting to say "I told you so" ; it is a matter of just warning people about what has been prophesied to occur. Whether you choose to believe the words of Yeshua (New Testament Jesus) is a matter of personal choice - not everyone believes in Yeshua. The true matter is that when it happens you can never say that you were not warned.

"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
(Matthew 24:37-39)

People had been warned by Noah - but they scoffed, ridiculed him and carried about their own business as usual.

so now you think you are Noah?

seriously, you completely ignore the things that dont agree with your "hoped" doom and gloom. according to your own posts islam only makes up about a fifth of the world. The rest aren't too eager to join up.

We aren't even close to a one world government.

there is no mark of the beast.

their isn't some super charismatic leader who is uniting the world.

etc, etc, etc
