To back up what i say, look at the list of prophecies laid out in the url. Pardon me, but the prophecies look like something that come out of US State Department assessment of human rights in Bush so called rouge nations.Originally posted by laurence82:Crap
While everyone looks at the Chinese persecution of christians, everyone forgot its was the westerners who started colonising china and her territories, making us second grade citizens like what maggot says, and introduced opium.
Sheesh
Isnt this falling into the trap, where the jews are the chosen people, the rest are evil, and we all lap it up?
Double sheesh...
the westerners were not sent by the church mah.Originally posted by laurence82:Crap

They come together in a package. its soft power at work.Originally posted by Honeybunz:the westerners were not sent by the church mah.
Today's Chinese Christians also dun come from the western countries mah.
Dunno whether true or not .. but I think the Catholic Church (Jesuit priests?) tried to protect the chinese during the Boxer Rebellion.Originally posted by Honeybunz:the westerners were not sent by the church mah.

and why not?Originally posted by happyharvest:Many in China believe that the Bible is a Western book.
They believe it is simply myth and fable written by western men. They think of it as an English book.
However,
The Bible was not written in Englsih.
It was written in Hebrew, Greek and Arabic.
The first writers of the Bible were from Egypt and Babylon (which today is Iraq).
The first 5 books of the Bible were written in 1400 BC by Moses, an adopted son of the king of Egypt.
These 5 books focus on the beginning of the nation of Israel.
The first 11 chapters record the history that all nations have in common.

Genetically the Aryanic European and the Semitic people may be different, but you are ignoring christian values and its impact on the europe from the roman time to the modern age, including its impact on western culture, history and thinkings.
You neglect the soft power the westeners bring with them when they colonised parts of china and the rest of the world, including bringing with them their religion, culture and other aspects of their life, like legal system which singapore now practises..
sheesh, i rem some idiotic person ask this b4, if christianity isnt so powerful, why do we practise the gregorian calendar system, and he stabbed himself in the foot because, like i said, its brought by the westerners during the colonial times, i didnot know he loved being second class citizens and subject to people influence...
We are using and prastising many things/systems invented or originated from the west now.
again, read up the prophecies on the jews as the chosen people..sheesh...

I hope you would join in the verification process.
If you study history as a subject, one of the common mistakes historians tell themselves not to make is taking a written historical artefact and taking it as it is, without making space for biasness and objective of the original writers.
I hope you would join in the verification process.
Err.... nothing is written in the bible that says all chinese in the world must be killed.Originally posted by maggot:1. EXISTENCE OF A 200,000,000 MAN ARMY IN THE EAST
Revelation 9:16 "And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them."
An army of that size had never existed until China's army reached that number in the 1960's.
So based on this all the chinese in the world must be killed?
Someone might quote this and justified the need to have all the chinese killed...Originally posted by happyharvest:Err.... nothing is written in the bible that all chinese in the world must be killed.
I'm not someone who is madly studying the prophecy. We will know what will happen when the time get closer.
God chose the nation of Israel to be the people through whom Jesus Christ would be born – the Savior from sin and death (John 3:16). God did not have to have a “chosen people” but He decided to do it that way. Jesus had to come from some nation of people, and God chose Israel. God’s desire for Israel was that they would go and teach others about Him. Israel was to be a nation of priests, prophets, and missionaries to the world.Originally posted by laurence82:Isnt this falling into the trap, where the jews are the chosen people, the rest are evil, and we all lap it up?
Originally posted by maggot:Someone might quote this and justified the need to have all the chinese killed...
It is important to have a good understanding of God's words. So we must study the bible and help each other to understand it better.
And your community keeps saying end times is near and keep looking at the book of revelations...
Err....looking at the world events, it is indeed nearer than before but not very near. In fact, the last days already started when Jesus came to earth. Anytime, Jesus might return.
Got meh? There are also other books in the bible that is regarding the end times.
Which one comes out of the bible, and which one is your own words?Originally posted by happyharvest:God chose the nation of Israel to be the people through whom Jesus Christ would be born – the Savior from sin and death (John 3:16).

The phrase "the last days" can be confusing, especially when trying to reconcile end-time events. "Last days" is actually a fairly common Old Testament expression (see passages such as Isaiah 2:2; Jeremiah 23:20; 49:39; Ezekiel 38:16; Hosea 3:5; Micah 4:1). Simply put, the last days denotes a time when the Messiah would set up His kingdom on earth.Originally posted by laurence82:One got to look at the history of christians who proclaimed the end is near from the first millenium till now....
Anyway, ur reply to maggot isnt clear. What if people see this and use this as a justification to kill chinese? Its very important peopel udnerstand god words, so who is able to tell exactly what are god words? i saw also prophecies on the korean and muslims...sheeshh
Seems christians have a problem with everyone....

A statement on god choosing the nation of israel from where jesus would be born has been interpreted into four sentences of implicitly implying he meant the jews go become the messenger of god.
Yes yes, but, reading your topics on the second coming, it seems you imply its near? When? 1000 years later? That doesnt put you far off from the likes of William Miller.Originally posted by happyharvest:The phrase "the last days" can be confusing, especially when trying to reconcile end-time events.

The last days began with the first coming of Christ (John 2:18; Hebrew 1:2; 1 Peter 1:20) and will culminate with His second coming, at which time His millennial reign will be established. Thus, mankind has been in the last days for the past 2000 years.
If they use this this as a justification to kill chinese, they have never known God in the beginning, I suppose. One have to study and understand the whole bible to understand what God is telling us.
As you said it, interpreted. By whom?Originally posted by happyharvest:
Those with verse are from the bible. Those without are what is interpreted from the verses. In fact, some can be found in the bible but dunno where they are now. If find liao, put up ....
Nobody knows the hour. It is definitely much nearer than before. Maybe 100 years from now? 200? 300? or even less than 100. "Watch!",Jesus advised.Originally posted by laurence82:Yes yes, but, reading your topics on the second coming, it seems you imply its near? When? 1000 years later?

Maybe kill can be far off, how abt discrimination? That is one thing very cleari n those prophecies.
