If you had/have read the bible, you would know that G_D gives us many signs of what is about to happen. Please read the Bible and you will understand more about this thread.

I have read the bible. I know it is full of signs about the end time. I also know that it clearly states that no one will be able to accurately predict the end times per god.
If you had actually read the bible you would know that.
Had you read that bible, you would also know that your god also strictly forbids telling the future. The punishment for that is death.
Again I have to ask, why would you claim to believe the bible as well as someone the god of your bible would label a heretic and condemn to death?
Please do not act like an ass because I asked a simple question.

You state that you have read the bible. I do not believe you, and I will prove your untruthfulness with your own words.
Hear now the Word of G_D.
1 Thessalonians 5:20 Despise not prophesying.
1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:4….but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1 Corinthians 14:5…: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues,…
You say that you want more proof of your deception?
Here you go.
1 Corinthians 14:39
Romans 12:6
Matthew 26:28
Mark 14:65
Luke 22:64
Maybe you are what my thread is all about too. The deception of the fallen angles. Are you one of them?
Your avatar currently represents you well. If you do not change, you will go right past the gift shop and never to return.
That would be very sad.

no offense to your beliefs, but you cannot treat the bible as an accurate source of information. it has been proven historically inaccurate time and time again.
your best bet (and this has been done ad nauseum by erik von daniken and the like) is to study all mythology and look for patterns, but you have to be willing to filter out the prototypical stories. prototypical stories being universal stories such as the meek defeating the strong, or the impossible romance, which exist accross cultures and the ages not because they are true but because they conform to very simple tropes that the subconscious is attracted to, and arise independently constantly.
EDIT: fixed erroneous reply tag.

Why, being omnipotent, does your god even allow such creatures to exist?
Why not do a better job of "creating us in his image" and give us all super-powers to defend ourselves?
Why create such beings in the first place?
And on that note...why give such creatures the ability, talents and means to traverse the stars and commit such crimes against life?
Why wouldn't your god just come down his own self and smite them?
If aliens are demons [snicker]...then...if we went to another [your] god-fearing planet, wouldn't it's inhabitants have every right to call us "demons" too?
Why wouldn't your god do a better job of having your bible written and state things clearly, instead of using parables and jargon?
Why doesn't your god just make things better for everyone?
Why would your god give a race of creatures far more menacing than us the ability to create such destructive technologies to be used against us and not give us the same technologies?
Why hasn't your god updated his bible to be more contemporary?
...

Oh right...because he's not real. With all of the pro-christian nonsense being thrown around here lately, I sometimes forget that point.

Actually, I'd rather get some real answers.
Stars shmars.
I'm willing to throw-down and get some good debate going on.
But...I can see that you have no real way of answering my questions...it's a shame.
