Who Is “The God Of This World”?

[goodlife]

In final days of this old world were foretold to be a time of most important decision, because the ability to predict the future is one thing that distinguishes the true God from all false gods.(Revelation 7:9)

[Old_Geezer]

Here I am.
I predict the world will not end today.

[Everhelpful]

There is an old saying: "It sometimes almost never happens, what's least expected most"!! That's about as confusing as your post.

[naomi24]

... and in the case of Jehovah it never happened - despite all those predictions from 'true Christians'. Gosh! You don't think he might be a false god, do you?

Revelation 7:9
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the Lamb, clothed in white robes,

What kind of bible are you using?

[Quizmonster]

PREDICTING the future surely isn't much of an achievement if you are the one that is supposedly going to MAKE it happen!

[goodlife]

Geezer@ I am glad too,because I would not here, if Jehovah Witnesses had not call on me.
And to date 700 a day are becoming Witnesses.

[naomi24]

Maybe they're giving in just for a bit of peace and quiet. :o/

[sandyRoe]

Are they soup-kitchen converts, Goodlife?

[ll_billym]

I see the future, the worlds population increases by 200,000 a day.

Every day the percentage of Jehovah's Witnesses in the world gets smaller and smaller and smaller.

[LazyGun]

So now I have this image of god as a kind of carnival fortune teller, speaking peoples fortunes if you cross their palm with silver :)

The proof of gods ability to tell the future will no doubt come from the bible; Like all other such claims though, the "prediction" is always down to fallible, biased human interpretation of scripture, attempting to fit scripture to an event rather than the other way around.

[goodlife]

So no one know who the god of this world is.

[ludwig]

Yeah, we give up. Who is it?

[Baldric]

///So no one know who the god of this world is.///

First bit of truth you've spoken for ages goodlife

[vulcan42]

//So no one know who the god of this world is.\\
You do realise this includes yourself?
Why is your god not capitalised?

[jake-the-peg]

// the ability to predict the future is one thing that distinguishes the true God from all false gods.//

I'm glad you raised that

Let's look at Jesus' prophesies about the end of the world.

Jesus tells people that there are some standing there that will see the end of the world:

note ://Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.//

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. "Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:29-35 NAB)


He does this a lot

The earth will not end, but those who ruin it will.(Rev 11:18)

[Baldric]

///And to date 700 a day are becoming Witnesses///

Prove it!

[naomi24]

A doyen of Christian love relishing the thought of most of mankind perishing. Happy days, eh Goodlife? ;o)

Rev 11:18

The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and the saints, and those who fear thy name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth

Again I ask, what kind of bible are you using?
