Featured Facebook & the fulfillment of prophecy

Wow. So people were not lovers of self before these things?

 

I think the OP is a bit of a stretch in the prophecy department.

 

Maybe you just "friended" the wrong bunch of people. :smilewinkgrin:

 

I seriously doubt that God was pointing to Facebook or twitter as a way to see it.

 

The Bible also says the last days were occurring at the time of Jesus.

 

evangelist6589, to some it's one big ha-ha joke.

I really doubt our Lord was making specific reference to social media...., but then again, perhaps He was. Who knows? Only those sitting on His right hand what post on this forum know for sure.

As far as people being lovers of themselves that can be traced back to being kicked out of the garden. For sure, that's not a new trend but does reflect the depravity facing mankind. Social media is just a tool to further that individual agenda.

Quite clearly, if you were trying to get intellectual conversation going on FaceBook you might as well try right here on this forum. ...often, 'bout the same results, no?

 

People that are lovers of themselves talk mainly about themselves, their opinions and observations, and their problems. They can do that anyplace, even on the BB.

 

That is true but I seriously doubt that the passage is speaking about that.
God says this;
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

If a person is a lover of self more then a lover of God they are doing their own thing. The things that please them instead of doing the things that please God which is keeping His commandments.
True believers have their heart, mind, and soul, set on keeping His commandments while lovers of self have their heart mind and soul set on doing what pleases them.

 

2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
It also says that "knowledge shall increase."
Christ also says "When I come will I find faith?"

More knowledge; but less truth.
Greater knowledge; but less faith.

 

Ya think? :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:

 

Makes me want to write a piece on the Eschatological Fulfillment of Facebook for Hyperdispensationalism.

 

The Bible still states the last days were at the time of Jesus.

 

You sound like a broken record. Amil's don't have to prosyletize on every eschatology thread, you know.

 

I've seen more self loving hypocrites here on BB than I ever have on FB~!... which is one reason I dont hang around here much anymore... This place sickens me.

 

I have a facebook account to keep up with my siblings, and extended family. I read the Bible daily, take notes during each sermon, read theological books all the time, and discuss theology with others at church constantly. My rate of going to facebook is probably less than average, but do not see the connection between a facebook account and end times.

 

That is true. And the disciples were also expecting Christ to establish his kingdom at that time. However, Jesus gave some signs of the times that he would establish his kingdom tied in with his coming. One of those signs was an increase in earthquakes which we see now as never before in history, as evidenced in Italy. Buildings that have stood for centuries have been damaged. Not only have they increased, they have hit with greater severity all over this world.

 

Why would the Disciples expect that?
