Reschedule: End of the World. Saturday!

Though a false teacher has predicted the end of the world for this Saturday, which of course, has been predicted by many heretics throughout the ages since Jesus left this earth 2000 years ago, there will indeed come a time when this present life will end, when everyone will be held accountable before a Holy God. This will happen after death.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10)

This is why I encourage all Christians to preach the Gospel—while there’s still time!

Jesus is coming back again though, all Christians agree with that; where we may disagree is the timing of this event: Is it before the Great Tribulation, or after? No matter where you stand on the issue pre-tribbers and post-tribbers may get a kick out of this episode from a show called “Punk’n the Fundie.” (I’m pan-trib by the way. It will all pan out in the end.)

Read this great article by Dr. Albert Mohler:

Harold Camping is now warning the world that the Day of Judgment will begin at about 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, 2011. The 89-year-old founder of Family Radio has made such pronouncements before, most recently in 1994. He now says that he simply miscalculated then, but he is absolutely certain that he has the right calculation now. You have been warned.

MARTYRS : Romanus, an Early Christian

Has this happened to you yet while preaching the Gospel in our free country?
The second time Romanus preached the living God, the Lord Jesus Christ His well-beloved Son, and eternal life through faith in His blood, Asclepiades commanded the tormentors to strike Romanus on the mouth, that his teeth be knocked out, so that his speaking would be impaired. The order was obeyed, his face was beaten with fists, his eyelids torn with nails, his cheeks cut with knives; the skin of his beard was plucked little by little from the flesh; finally, his handsome face was wholly defaced.

Atheist Tuesday: The 3 Wise Men

In American culture too many people have admired the slapstick humor of The Three Stooges. These bumbling knuckleheads have promoted great guffaws among the populace with their illogical antics and silly pratfalls; their inane arguments and solutions to difficult situations have elicited great gasps of mass hilarity.

But that was for another time.

For these modern days we now have a triumvirate who are a bit more inventive in their approach to life and how it all works out. These men are very wise to the educated, models of inspiration for a new age and a more enlightened way of thinking. Who are these Mighty Men?

#1: Richard Dawkins (Oxford professor)

(Cue the laugh track) He wrote: “Evolution is a fact. Beyond reasonable doubt, beyond serious doubt, beyond sane, informed, intelligent doubt, beyond doubt evolution is a fact. The evidence for evolution is at least as strong as the evidence for the Holocaust, even allowing for eye witnesses to the Holocaust.”

“It is a plain truth that we are cousins of chimpanzees, somewhat more distant cousins of monkeys, more distant cousins still of aardvarks and manatees, yet more distant cousins of bananas and turnips … continue the list as long as desired.”

Let’s here it for Professor Turnip!

#2: Stephen Hawking (theoretical physicist)

(Notice the Applause sign, please.) He said, “I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.”

Of all the gifts God gave this brilliant man, wisdom was not one of them.

Last but not least, is a man who continues to waste everyone’s time and money with frivolities. He is none other than…
