<p>They dont want the apocalypse, they just want Jesus to come back to earth. Also, whats sad is that Jews are waiting for the Messiah to come, when he already did 2,000 years ago. They thought Jesus was just a prophet, again, its sad because they were his chosen people and they dont even believe in him.</p>

<p>so you disagree that that endtimes beleivers are counting on Armageddon as necessary to bring Jesus back to earth?

<p>They have been doing this for the last 2000 years. Whats new?</p>

<p>I make it a practice not to ridicule anyone’s religious beliefs. It’s too easy a leap for them to ridicule mine :)</p>

<p>I don’t have to worry about that since I have no religious beliefs.</p>

<p>“Also, whats sad is that Jews are waiting for the Messiah to come, when he already did 2,000 years ago. They thought Jesus was just a prophet, again, its sad because they were his chosen people and they dont even believe in him.”</p>

<p>Jews do not think Jesus as a prophet. Part of his message as interpreted by Peter and Paul was that it would be opened up to everybody, not just Jews. John’s “Jewish Christian” ministry in Jerusalem quickly lost out to less Jewish ones in the north. </p>

<p>A very good case has been made that the “historical Jesus” didn’t exist at all.</p>

<p>I would disagree that posting a link to information is “ridcule”
I actually am very interested to hear that certain groups feel that it is more desireable to hasten armageddon, than it is to bring about “peace on earth” without it.</p>

<p>I think it is beneficial to learn more about other ways of thinking- but I admit it rather alarms me.
I can understand being frustrated though- when first you plan for the end of the world on 12/31/2000- or on 06/06/2006- but nothing seems to be happening- or at least not fast enough for your taste- who wouldn’t want to give it a little push?

<p>I don’t think you have to stay up at night worrying about this, EK. We have enough to worry about making sure teens enjoy sex without getting pregnant. Also, as a rule of thumb it’s a good idea not to believe everything you read. As to your above link, the part about the “traditional” Catholic Church (whatever that is) is B.S. :)</p>
