The signs of the times look clear. Child kidnappings, serial killers, wars, suicide and homicide bombers and more problems than you shake stick at.
What scriptures can you direct me to that indicate that child kidnappings, serial killers, suicide and homicide bombers are "signs of the times"? Jesus never mentioned any of those things (notice I left wars out of the list; I'll give you that one). Jesus mentioned a specific list of things that would constitute the end time, he didn't just say, "when a whole bunch of bad stuff happens".
The bible also say that people would say it aint the last days in the last days.
The Bible did say that there would be scoffers in the last days. Which is not the same thing as saying that whenever there are scoffers, we are in the last days. When people advance lame ideas, they deserve to be scoffed at. I remember when I was a JW, many of the brothers would scoff at doctrines of Christendom which are far more scriptural than their own teachings. One that comes to mind is the visible return of Christ, which is clearly taught in scripture. So were those JW's who ignorantly made fun of that doctrine the "scoffers" who would ask, "where is his promised coming?"
There are more, such as AIDS and diseases like west nile virus.
Never has there been such a time when people are afraid to come out of there homes or afriad to stay in them
women in Louisaiana are afriad to go out at night
racism and sexism
Again, things that have no biblical justification as signs of the end. I guess that if you are convinced that the end is close, everything you read in the papers is going to appear to you as some sort of fulfillment of prophecy. I knew a JW just like that. He subscribed to Time magazine, and every new issue gave him more reasons to believe that the end was imminent (and I mean really imminent - he never thought it was more than two months away). But such obsession did not convince others of his mental health, especially as year after year went by with the end no closer (yet, in his mind, no farther away, either).
those who want to believe will believe. those who do not will not.
The ultimate cop-out of one who is incapable of proving his case.
The bibler say that faith is not a possession of all people.
Faith is also not accepting wild claims that lack proof. I could claim that there are little purple men with orange polka dots living on the planet Pluto, and when you say you don't believe it, I could simply respond that "faith is not a possession of all people". Faith is based upon reality and evidence. It is, as the New World Translation puts it, "the evident [i.e., based upon evidence] demostration of realities, though not beheld".
it is not only the events that constitute the last days but the time period and the fact that we have a composite sign in our time.
It is highly questionable whether we have a composite sign in our time. I'd suggest the book, The Sign of the Last Days, by Herbst and Jonsson, but I'm sure you'd just rear back and claim that you don't read apostate literature, even though you do so daily on this board.
that don't mean the end will never come.
Straw man argument. No one has said the end will never come. Even atheists acknowledge that the world will end some day, in some way. What is crystal clear from scripture and history, however, is that the end will never come in the way that Jehovah's Witnesses expect.
it depend on what you mean by quality of life. materially, people might be better off. but i do not feel people are today better off mentally, spiritually or existentially.You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, comfy. But if you expect to come here and proclaim it as something others should accept as true, you need to have some evidence with you when you do so.
