@Purple and @Liberty do you guys think we are already experiencing some of the things mentioned in this chapter?

Apana sumbua. We are Buddhists.

Kila mtu atakufa akuwe mbolea. The rest ni theories from minds of people. We are just living creatures like zingine zote, do they practice religion? Will they go to heaven?

We are not like other creatures. We were specially designed to be like God by himself

fisked:D:D

:smiley:

If we were designed to be like God himself, we would be in perfect harmony. But currently there are just too many differing gods on this planet.

The other gods are fake

Which one, if we are all in the same God image?

All the others except Yahweh

Yes sir. These events are happening to wake up the elect some who were in deep Laodicean slumber. What this is not, we are not in the great tribulation. Tribulation will not meet the children of God, they will be raptured/caught up! Certainly makes me glad that I won’t be here to witness those days. Just imagine how quickly the world has changed over a pandemic yet in the tribulation it will be pandemic after pandemic, wars upon wars, terrible earthquakes and tsunamis. The entire hell will be loosed upon the earth. Please let us trim our lamps (souls) and fill them with oil (Holy Ghost) like the wise virgins, so that when the Bridegroom comes He shall find us ready to meet Him!

Man is matter. Life gone you are nothing.

Amen my sister. I pray and hope that we shall be saved from the wrath that is coming upon the world soon.

Am not prepared for a white Jesus as proclaimed by your rapture crusaders. Fact is you’ve been born and you must die, whichever tickles your fancy after death, so be it!

Jesus was a middle Eastern, probably in appearance too. But that’s besides the point. You wouldn’t accept Him even if He had been born as a black person. Outright rebellion against God is your problem, not the skin tone that Jesus Christ had.

:D:D you’ve missed the point. I don’t believe in the god taught by religions. I believe in God but not the white man’s god

There’s no such thing as a “white man’s god.” Whoever told you such lied to you. Europeans received the gospel just like you and I, through evangelism. The origins of Christianity are in the Middle East. Jerusalem is not in Europe, is it?

The fact that Africans were illiterate does not mean that we didn’t worship our true God. We were indoctrinated and since our worship was not put down in writing, the white men tried to erase our beliefs and enforce theirs claiming that their God was the one and only.

Sure I agree with you, but you have something better than the ancient gods. If your great great great grandfather was faithful to the religion or light of his day, God is just and he will get a chance during the 1,000 year millenium on earth to hear sermons about Jesus Christ. In the Bible, Jesus states clearly that, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). There’s no other way to eternal life except through Jesus.
