the verse states that "when the thousand years have ended the devil shall be released from his prison and him and his demons shall destroy the four corners of the earth, then some shit about there numbers being as vast as the sands of the see or something."

well if he were to be released after that time then where is he, it has clearly been over a thousand years since his confinement in the lake of fire, his "prison" or is it true that this is another falst text i have discovered in the bible? i asked a preacher that came to our school... he had no answer for me.

Since when has he been imprisoned?

I cannot even begin to imagine how much your veiw on Christianity has been raped by whoever.

I suppose a "Most Uninformed Poster of the Day" trophy would suffice.

Yeah, acording to the bible, Satan is roaming the earth right now. He hasn't been imprisoned yet. I think that comes either at the begining of the tribulation or right after. The pastor you talked to doesn't know shit.

Your preacher needs to read his Bible. Anyway the book of Revelation says that Satan will be put into the pit where he will stay for a thousand years. Not until Jesus comes. The bible teaches that right now Satan is here. Thats right here on earth. He was in hell for a thousand years then let free and when Jesus returns whe will be put back in hell and then after a thousand years be let free again he will once again decieve many before being put back into hell for eternity.

EDIT: I posted a little late. The person that posted above me pretty much summed most of it up.

Do you have anymore questions regarding the book of Revelations or the Bible in general?

^ Yeah i have one more question. i was talking to my friend roger at work and he told me pretty much that, he told me about devil and jesus walking the earth and getting the mark of the beast, and if you dont take it you to heaven. Could you explain the whole when they both come to earth thing, i dont understand how they both come at the same time, it would be an easy pick if you ask me.

Don't post while under the influence

4 horsemen of the apocalypse: Bush, Rove, Chemey, Rumsfeld, destroying the 4 corners of the world. No?

They never are on the earth at the same time. Also, if you accept the mark of the beast you WILL go to hell. No ifs, ands, or buts. You might not go to heaven even if you dont accept it.

After the rapture, we leave with Jesus to heaven for 7 years, we come back, cast the devil into the bottomless pit for 1k years and have Jesus reign over the earth. Then the devil is released and then we kick his ass in battle.

Argon, you actually believe in what you just typed?? haha please tell me 'no'

Wtf would be the point of existing if we know the future?

You people are idiots.

how do u accept the mark of the beast? i want to do it because its bullshit, and nothing will happen.

Technically Satan is not "imprisoned" in Hell; he rebelled with full knowledge of the consequences and resides in Hell because, as he famously said, "`Tis better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."

wasnt that Dante that attributed those words to him.. in a (fiction) novel?

What's more idiotic?

Believing in something because you have a reason that compells you, or hating something and someone for no better reason than disagreement?

No, no, and no.

Wasn't that in Paradise Lost?

To reign is worth ambition, though in hell:

Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

Ya, i think your right... i couldnt remember.. it was Dante's fictional work though, right?

No, it was Milton's fictional work.

thanks

Snoopy is actually right. You people are all morons. I hate you because you are a moron. Don't respond with the shit about me disagreeing with you. I can't agree with you because I don't acknowledge your beliefs. Only a moron could believe shit like this. I could go on, but it's not worth it. You're going to waste your life in church, arguing with people over the internet about god, and generally being fuckwits until you die. You don't even be able to feel bad after you die because it's too late. What a shame.
