DEATH TOLL estimates for the 2nd coming - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Anonymous Unregistered	Thanks for the replies Bravus I mentioned a few days ago about being on the air... Early this year the talk show host mentioned that he didn't love perfectly... that is a given.. usually for anyone... yet that begs the question....to the host....and to any reader If everyone was allowed into heaven that loved at least at your level...would it be still heaven???

Anonymous Unregistered	This thread is a spin off of another post I did on another forum.. The Tsunami death toll supposedly has reached 226,000 That means 5.999774 BILLION are still alive..minus a few thousand each hour...from other causes. I will research.

Anonymous Unregistered	Nice avatar Nico.. Quote: "When the character of Christ is reproduced in His children, THEN He shall come to claim them as His own." -- EGW (sorry, forgot where, but it's a famous quote, we can look it up via keywords!) "When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own." Christ's Object Lessons 69 Fairly well known SOP quote..but much despised..because of the controversial word in bold. Religion is where one is deceived into finding a persuasion where they can cloak their hatred for God or Jesus..even the "Christian" persuasions. The tale of Snow White brings this out...those who kill Snow White extend past the Pharisee crowd. This week's SS lesson teacher's quarterly hints at this on page 49 http://www.absg.adventist.org/TeachersQuarterlies/TE2005/TE%201%20Q%202005/ETQ10504.pdf Subtle are the methods that hint at hatred for Jesus. NFDMTTS is one Religious shallow cliches Doctrinal corruption and or wrong emphasis

Nicodema Registered: 11/22/03 Posts: 777 Loc: Beyond your grasp	Quote: Nice avatar Nico... Thanks. I figured it was time for something else -- I'd had the apoptosis one up a bit too long and I'm not feeling apoptosic right now, so I went on the web and found a picture of Nicodemus meeting up with Jesus -- since that is where I took the nickname "Nicodema" from (feminized version of nicodemus). Quote: "When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own." -- Christ's Object Lessons 69 Fairly well known SOP quote..but much despised..because of the controversial word in bold. I'm in a very simple and childlike mode right now and sometimes the best thoughts come from that frame of mind, you know? Like maybe that's why Jesus said to receive the Kingdom like a little child ... anyway ... what is coming to my mind right now is this thought: simply that the reason it is despised is because people believe that is something we have to achieve ourselves. Once that lie is broken and we realize this is God's work from start to finish, not ours, there will be nothing left to despise. We will just rejoice and say, "Bring it on, Lord!" I really think the "despising" gets in there because we keep forgetting this simple fact: it's 100% His work to do that. We start thinking WE have to do it FOR Him, and when we find we can't, we get mad at God. But He never said -- and Ellen never wrote -- "when WE perfectly reproduce the character of Christ in ourselves..." It is, instead, as you quoted above. Hmmm, think I've just given myself something to ponder here ... the light just went on upstairs ... N. _________________________ "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" -- T.S. Eliot

Nicodema Registered: 11/22/03 Posts: 777 Loc: Beyond your grasp	"Jesus also suffered from the very ones He came to save, humans whose deeply entrenched love of sin made them recoil from the righteousness they saw in Christ and lash out to discourage and ultimately destroy Him." This is an interesting statement but it can also be a confusing one. I usually can only parse these kinds of things in two ways: in light of the reaction of the demoniac to Jesus; or in light of the animosity of Pharisees and other authoritarians toward Jesus. Admittedly, that may be my limitation. Is this the statement you referred to, JimBob? _________________________ "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" -- T.S. Eliot

Anonymous Unregistered	Yes, that is the one. Here is some more support. Love is demonstrated in consideration, repect,appreciation.. When someone tunes you out in the conversation..how do you feel? When someone walks away from you when you are still talking. When they go uh huh..uh huh...uh huh...and are not listening. Think of when the bible is ignored/neglected in sermons, when people are making racket while the scripture reading , prayer or sermon is going on... get my drift?? then there is the outright continuation of the sinful status quo and expectation of it... Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 1 Thess 5:20 Despise not prophesyings.

Redwood Swiss n Swedish American Registered: 12/09/06 Posts: 6912 Loc: A citizen of Heaven	How much will the death toll be at the Second Coming? Which Second coming are you referring to? The First Coming was when Jesus created the Earth and he walked and talked with Adam and Eve. His Second coming which did not directly cause any death was when he was born of Mary. His Third or Second second coming was after he arose from the tomb he returned to the Father and then returned to walk and talk with the disciples and others. His Fourth or Third Second coming will be when he comes to take us to Heaven. His Fifth and the one that I look forward to is when he brings the Holy City to this Earth and makes the Earth a new earth and a place for us to live eternally.
