Do you say things like this just to prove your point even though this statement is 100% wrong. Just look at your damn bible and what it claims.
2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. (2nd Kings)

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
I really want to start posting for a while alter ego style, just to try it out. I think it would be fun.

I will from time to time post other incidents that are in line with Bible prophecy regarding the behavior of people during the last days of this wicked system of things. Whenever I present something along those lines, I will quote a scripture that is in line with the presentation.

Prohecy fulfilled! (6 out of 14, close enough)
As for " I will from time to time post other incidents that are in line with Bible prophecy regarding the behavior of people during the last days", why not do so chronologically. You could start, say, 2000 years ago.
Alternatively, perhaps you could tell the forum when, in this same 2k year time period, someone would have NOT said we were not in these last days?

ALTER2EGO -to- WHEELDRAW1020 & POOTER:
You two sound like the type of people that are so desensitized by violence, that only the sight of blood would get you to accept that what those kids did was outrageous.
There are parents that routinely minimize their children's wrongdoing so that their kids get progressively worse over time. Then their kids become adults and end up in the criminal justice system where they no longer get a slap on the wrist because they are juveniles. That's the type of parents you two remind me of.
In the adult criminal system, there is no such thing as "PASS GO AND COLLECT $200" or a "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" card. They don't play the game of Monopoly in the adult prison system. Everything there is for real.
The fact that so many people were outraged over this video, to the tune of over $500,000 in donations to the elderly woman, says something about you two minimizing what has outraged so many others. It says a great deal about your performance--or lack thereof--as parents or would-be parents.

ALTER2EGO -to- BATAIR:
The incident in my OP is only one of several that indicate we are living in the time of the end. And yes, people are indeed wicked for the most part. There are always exceptions, but the truth is that this system is far gone and beyond repair. The Bible says Jehovah will step in and remove all wickedness at his appointed time.

How many hurt others and how many helped in this indecent? For the most part id guess there were more people doing good.

I guess you haven't been listening to the latest Al Qaeda plot, the war in Afghanistan, the slaughter taking place in Syria (and other parts of the Middle East)—all of which are in fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
|
If wars in the Middle East are prophecy they are permanent ones (like the kids) because there have always been wars in the Middle East.

It certainly looks like you haven't been paying attention to reports on the ongoing human rights violations in Sudan.[/COLOR]

Same as above. Theres always been human violations. If its a prophecy its a permanent one. Which makes it a bad one.

And clearly, you haven't been taking note of the ongoing famine in various parts of Africa, most of it manmade.

Same.

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
I didn't have the sound on so have no idea what was said...
That said, sticks and stones may break my bones and all. I mean didn't it say she was like a monitor or something? Doesn't that mean she should have some ability to do something other than sit in a seat? Why would they pay her for that? If an incompetent teacher got ripped to shreds by the class clown (a uniquely new thing that signifies the end of days I'm sure) wouldn't you question the teacher as much as the kid? I mean if the parents are so bad at controlling these kids what the heck is that lady's function in their lives and how is she not failing just as miserably?
Disclaimer I heard none of the audio and am not sure what the lady's official role is. If that's off it's off. If it's kids pushing an authority figure as far as they could get away with and that authority figure being incompetent I know a lot of 30/40/50/60/70 somethings that do that every day. Not to say it's the way I act or what I find acceptable but to single it out for end of days prophecy is a bit of a snooze.

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
Nothing as bad as young people bullying an old person until they cried has ever happened in the entire course of human history and therefore I must agree with OP, this is the end times. End. Times.

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
PEDRO ALONSO LOPEZ- 300+ murders
Place: Peru, Columbia and Ecuador
Date: 1970s
Victims: Young girls, mostly pre-teens
Lopez was kicked out by his prostitute mother at the age of eight, after she caught him fondling his younger sister. He was picked up by a paedophile and raped, and was later gang-banged in prison, retaliating by killing three of his rapists.
By 1978 it's reckoned he'd killed at least 100 girls in Peru; when attention fell on him he moved back to his native Columbia and then on to Ecuador. Here he killed three girls a week on average, preferring them because they were "more gentle and trusting, more innocent." In 1980 uncovered one of his many victims' graves and he was rapidly arrested and tricked into confession whilst being held in prison.
At first police refused to believe the numbers he mentioned but he quickly identified the sites of more than 50 burials, lending credence to his claim as the most prolific serial killer to date. He was convicted of murder in Ecuador, Lopez will languish in prison for the rest of his life.
Was this also "proof of living in the last days?" in the 1970's? Do the 'last days' last for longer than 40 years?

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
How long do these 'last days' go on for? Seems to me like they're dragging on.....
Maybe they should be renamed to 'the last years' or perhaps even 'the last decades' or 'the last millennium'? This may provide enough fuel for the suspension of disbelief, and slightly help raise the credibility of doomsday nut-jobs.
