You, as a Catholic, should know that accepting Jesus as your savior is not what is needed for salvation but baptism and obedience to the Catholic Church.

Here is my take on this. First real post btw.

1. Protestians will keep on preaching

2. Raj Patel and Benjeman(forgot the last name) are 2 old farts, can't do the job. The A C will be at the top of his prime, that's what Satan wants... Somebody young like 18 to 21 years old that he can show his inteligence and that he is undeniably smart. Remember he is coming to subdue the nations by solving the worlds problems all at once. Raj Patal is also Indian, not Jewish, Revived Roman Empire. Isreal was part of the Roman Empire. Satan wants a Jew to replicate the same look as Jesus. He's here to decieve people, make a clone of the real thing.

3. Stop saying that Obama is the A C. We havent had the problems yet of the Four Hoursemen. Those events will make every war, plegue, and economic colapse so far look like fat men to a buffet. In fact we haven't had alot of the things from most of the scriptures yet, except of earthquakes from place to place, and people leaving the faith.

4. If I think of anything more I will add.

I wouldn't worry about "the end times". Your personal end time is close enough. Worry about that first, God can take care of the Apocalypse by Himself.

Btw, Benjemin Creme is way too old anyway. By the time he gets there, he wont have to be assinated, because he'll just croke before the assasin can pull the gun.

I think this type of rhetoric is a HUGE turn off to the CC, as if a set of boxes can be checked off for salvation. One can do all those things and more, mere outward adherence to Church teachings is no sign of inward transformation or heart knowledge of the Lord. Catholic of Protestant, the Christian life can be faked! This is why I love men like Fr. Larry Richards, Fr. Riccardo, men from "Crossing the Goal"...these and more will acknowledge that outward obedience is worthless, and far more Protestants are in better standing w/the Lord. But I would concur, "accepting Jesus as your own personal Savior" is neither biblical nor taught by the Church, and neither is it a good pop song!

Who says anything about worrying? The question is: Are the Endtimes near? Why should we do one at the exclusion of the other? Reflecting on my own end AND reflecting on the endtimes aren't mutually exclusive, you know. I don't like how one is often pitted against the other.

The Antichrist will be heralded by the Jews as the prophesied Messiah so I think it rules out the AC not being of Jewish descent, but that is merely my opinion and it's quite possible to fake one's origin, especially if you take your cues from the Father of lies.As a disclaimer, I used to have an unhealthy interest for the endtimes and all the landmark events leading to the return of Jesus I think that curiosity was fueled largely by the impossibility for me to think that I'd have many, many more years to face being alive, so to retain some kind of sanity I had to believe my deliverance was at hand. Nowadays I keep an eye open, I stay awake so to speak but I'm not into it like my life depended on it, thank and glory be to God.

Good point. I'd say if you're ready for your end time then it doesn't matter the form it comes in.

I did not say anything that was incorrect.

This was a good show on the subject, don't think you can watch it for free on line anymore though.

She's right. Faith alone does not save.

Fragile · #42 May 10, '12, 5:19 am

No, a dead faith can save no one. James makes it clear when he asks the rhetorical question; "Can such a faith save?"

They are when you can't predict the latter but the former is so much easier it makes no sense to ignore the truth of your own mortality.

The earth is billions of years old. We humans can only live for only an insignificant fraction of that (less than 0.0000001% I'd wager). That should tell you enough about the gap between worrying about the fates between the two.
