Why Christians think the end is near......

KEEP THIS DEBATE RESPECTABLE.  IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS THEORY, COOL, WE CAN HAVE A GOOD DEBATE, AND WE'LL BOTH COME AWAY SMARTER.

Pat Roberson was on national T.V.  He's a hugely popular Christian minister.  He was saying that the bible prophesizes that the world community will be against Isreal in the last days.  He believes that these are the last days ahead.  Roberson is in direct support of Isreal, and in total disregard the Arab world.

Now.  Why do Christians believe these are the last days?  Religoin is in the mind, and in the spirit, the unseen world, and it may be that Pat Roberson's vision of the Christian world is in fact dying, and reaching it's last days.  While the Muslim world is slowly gaining more support and acceptance, and in our "minds" and "spirits" we may begin to inherit the earth.

Let the debate begin.

Nah, not true.  By saying that, you're denying all the prophesies in the New Testament of the bible.  Of course, you don't believe any of those, but the reason Christians believe the end of the world is near, is because the new testament tells them it is.  Slowly, slowly, slowly, every prophesy is nearing fullfilization.

Exactly, maybe the "Christian World" is really dying, that's what I'm saying, in a way, I'm agreeing with Pat Roberson and the new testament, but in a mental and spiritual way, rather than a physical.

Trauma-san:
I don't really see the christian faith as dying anyyyyyytime soon.  The catholic church is still WAY, WAY strong.  I cannot deny that Islam is growing faster than any other religion in the world, but want to hear something interesting?  Proportionally, guess which church has the fastest growing membership in the world?  Latter day saints... there's only 11 million of us, but we've only been around 180 years, LOL.  Membership is growing at a rate of about 2% a year, faster than any other religion, even Islam.  

Peace~

Trauma-san:
Oh, and you forgot the end of that prophesy, LOL.

Jesus returns to earth, and Is seen standing on a hill, speaking to someone, everyone there immediately realizes he is the son of god, etc, repents, all hell breaks loose, christians rule the earth, etc. etc.
