You're right, we don't need God to punish us because he knows we will destroy ourselves. That's why he sent Jesus Christ to save us and that's why Jesus will be returning a second time, to keep us from totally destroying God's creation. When Jesus returns, he will be battling Satan and his followers and taking those that are left to a New Jerusalem to show them what 1,000 years of peace will look like. After Jesus actually shows people what real peace looks like, He'll release Satan and his angels from the Abyss to allow them one last chance at deceiving people and allowing them to make their final choice and decision. Either follow God or follow Satan. After that 1,000 years are over, ALL (including Satan and his angels) will be judged at the Great White Throne Judgement.
Reinvented, more like...after your Salem witch trials.
Remind me how many innocent people you burned because of your hatred, in the name of "the Lord"? Really, please convince me your god condones such acts.
The result of barbaric rationale, methinks.
Try Google. Or do you prefer to troll others into doing your research for you?
Ancient alchemists. Pretty sure they left behind some records. Once again, Google is a wonderful machine for those with the fingers to use it.
en.wikipedia.org...
Very little is known about the ancient druids. They left no written accounts about themselves and the only evidence is a few descriptions left by Greek, Roman and various scattered authors and artists, also stories created by later medieval Irish writers.[2] While archaeological evidence has been uncovered pertaining to the religious practices of the Iron Age people, "not one single artefact or image has been unearthed that can undoubtedly be connected with the ancient Druids."[3
You, David, have provided nothing but ignorant tosh in the way of rebuttal. I'm tempted to call you a troll and let you play your games...on mute.
No....pagan has always been a label for non-Abraham faiths.
It was an honest question because pagan is a word describing a religion, not religion itself.
Post ONE written account left by the Druids JUST ONE
Do you admit that most of your symbols and concepts originate from faiths that are not Christian, then?
Hundred burned and/or tortured on the soil of America and Africa, because their lifestyles were considered heathen-like. Do your research...or are you not interested in learning about the stolen ideas you worship?
A religion other than Judaism...which proves what I have been saying.
I never said druid. Pretty obsessed with druids, aren't you? Latent hatred? Still in the druidic closet?
The four arms represent a veneration for the four elements of the earth, which is part of the old druidic/superstition that was common among older faiths.
8) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Jesus wasn't just a man. He's was God in human form.
As for his timing...
2 Peter 3:8-9

My symbols? I realize that you are not the brightest when it comes to critical thinking but just because you are wrong does not make me christian.

And thousands were killed by pagans, what is your point?

No it doesn't

Yes you did

If you're not Christian, then why are you defending the Christian faith?
I never restricted it entirely to druids. Druids, pagans, wiccans, all of those faiths that were demonized by the Church...my point,
but hey, time for you to do your own research and find something that actually APPLIES to you instead of trolling all over the board. Good bye, Dave.
Im not defending it, im just not buying the BS you make up.
You still don't get it.
Druids and wiccans are pagans.
Wicca was not made up until the late 50s
The druids were being killed off by other pagans LONG before the Christians showed up.
Everything has been researched. You just choose not to think.
It wouldn't bother me so much if the Christians weren't singing about love and acceptance and forgiveness and salvation at the same time they were killing and oppressing and fear mongering.

Your "research" is exactly what is being doubted.

So it is okay to kill as long as you don't preach peaceful topics also?

Also, it's rather amusing that He waits until after two world wars.

Yeah...and if your god were so concerned about our well-being,I don't think he would choose to wait until AFTER we destroy ourselves...
In other words, your doctrine is flawed.

Isn't it obvious that man has rigged the Words of YHWH to create this misunderstanding.
The Bible was written by flawed man who are imperfect.
No spirit can be permanently destroyed.
Can't you see, with all of the hatred around us, YHWH's is monitoring how everyone feels right now.
Everyone is pretty much filled with hatred/anger/spite and greed.
This is exactly as it was written in the Bible concerning the end-of-days.
You're not Christian, so I'm not bothering to explain any more to you. After all, expect a Christian to know Christian history...
