  Would human settlement of Mars invalidate Bible prophecy?

  by truthseeker in

  i don't think this topic has been discussed before but yesterday i read something to the effect that trump wants a human mission to mars to be completed within his presidency.. with that being said, the watchtower teaches that what started on earth ends on earth, in other words, the fall of adam and eve would end with the passing of the 1,000 year millennial reign when christ destroys all his enemies, rebellious "perfect" humans, and the devil and his demons who are let out the abyss for a short while.

  he then hands the kingdom back to his father.

  an elder in my old congregation once told us during a public talk that he was an ardent astronomer but then referenced the scripture where it says, "the earth he has given to the sons of men" (psalms 115:16).

  Do religious people fear that their religion may be wrong???

  by James Mixon in

  because there are so many religions in the world and it is obvious that no matter what the truth is, a large population of people will be wrong about it.

  we at one time believe we had the truth and 99% of the world population were in darkness, but i wonder about folks in other religions today.

  speaking with a christian friend about this and he told me," that's for god to decide, i hope i'am serving god"...the sad thing about all of this if one die and still believe in his religion, he will never know he was in the wrong religion.

  Raindow; "I would leave it and search for the right one", sure you will. Where would you go if that wasn't the truth, maybe unbeliever.... garyneal: I just read Pascal's Wager, interesting.

  Why settle on Mars..2 Peter3;9-10 He will destroy this present universe and create a New heaven and earth. Why

  not wait, but it's dumb to destroy the universe when there is no one out there..

  not taxing churches is taking as estimated $71 billion from our economy every year.

  watching one of the late night talk show and the host mention how much dough we could have to help the poor if the churches were taxed.

  i check to see and i b-damn, mormon church spends 7% of its annual income on charity, the average for churches are 29% to help the poor.

  I agree with you all, I really believe if it was put on the ballot it will pass...Six states have laws on the book barring non believers, (so an ISIS believer will have a better chance ). So not believing in God is such a volatile political issue that a simple meeting with people who have ties to atheist group can expose a candidate to a brutal smear campaign. An Upstate Atheist, a charity organization in Spartanburg S.C. offered to lend a hand volunteering at a local soup kitchen, they were surprised to hear that the director of the facility would have rather resigned than work alongside godless members of the community.
