Evangelical ministers meet , convert millions and hasten the Second Coming

[sasha031]

Pastors of some of the largest evangelical churches in America met Tuesday in Inglewood to polish strategies for starting 5 million new churches worldwide in 10 years — an effort they hope will hasten the End Time.The Rapture and Second Coming of Jesus has always been the ultimate goal of evangelicalism.But when that would occur was any Christian's guess.

The Global Pastors Network's "Billion Souls Initiative" aims to shorten the path to Judgment Day by partnering church resources with the latest communications systems to spread the Gospel of Jesus. an interview at Faith Central Bible Church in Inglewood, James Davis, president of the campaign, said, "Jesus Christ commissioned his disciples to go to the ends of the Earth and tell everyone how they could achieve eternal life."As we advance around the world, we'll be shortening the time needed to fulfill that great commission," he said. "Then, the Bible says, the end will come."

2. Wow, 1 billion minus 144,000= many unhappy souls.

JW's say only 144,000 (12,000 from each tribe) will be saved.

5. The ultimate pyramid scheme.

[Coexist]

3. so what happens if they succeed and the end doesn't come?

will they all drink the Guyana Kool-Aid??

[sasha031]

4. they will change the date and keep changing the date

as they have for centuries.

[hatrack]

6. And they'll say it was the unknowable will of God - with straight faces

:eyes:

[Ilsa]

9. I don't think we could bury or burn them fast enough to stop

the smell and disease from overwhelming the rest of us. And for that reason alone, it wouldn't be a blessing.

[sui generis]

12. one word: biodiesel

we could all drive hummers and leave the lights on ALL FREAKING NIGHT!

[Ishoutandscream2]

7. Oh, brother! Yes, hasten those end times!!!!

:eyes:

[sui generis]

11. if I were them I'd hedge and put some money away for retirement

because they're going to look awfully stupid running around broke and homeless putting all this energy into a fantasy rather than the reality that republicans are bankrupting us, removing every vestige of social programs, stealing social security, raiding death benefits, pension plans, and medicare, and the fucking end times are already here if they haven't noticed.

Plus wasn't the baby jeebus going to hang around in the air and incinerate a bunch of jews and non-believers, or something like that in that weird ass rapture fantasy?

If I were jewish I'd be pretty fucking offended.

I say we come up with our own version of the rapture - but first let's all sing "Imagine" together and see if we can get some ideas.

8. The End Times took place as prophesied, on time and under budget

We -- including loonies like the ones who met in Inglewood -- are the descendents of those left behind, which certainly does explain a lot, doesn't it?

Hey, I have just as much proof for this belief as any "Judgement Day is coming soon!" yahoo has for his :silly:

[Roland99]

10. Exactly. What do you think caused the "Dark Ages"?

;)

[AllegroRondo]

13. One thing all end-of-the-world prophets have in common

They've all been wrong. These guys are no different.

[RethugAssKicker]

14. They've only been wrong because they're not in power...

If they gain complete control of our govt... they can make it happen!... They are doing their best right now!

[ladjf]

15. There must be a limit to how gullible and superstitious the

human race can become.

[sasha031]

16. my feeling, they might get half their wish

with the coming war with Iran...:nuke:
