        What a loser. You probably bet horses based on someone's "inside information," too. There's NOTHING that is going to happen that day that would happen any other day. There is nothing that supports the suggestion that something will except a bunch of loser repeating the same superstitions over and over again.

      The Mayan calendar expires on December 21, 2012. Most religions and many religious cults around the world predict an end of the world scenario. Islam, Mormonism, Judaism even Christianity predict an apocalypse. The Bible contains mysterious prophecies about the end of the world, but the most amazing prophecy is found in the Book of Revelation, which means the Book of the Apocalypse. Scholars have discovered an incredible link to the number 2012 and what will happen to YOU when the world ends. If we look at chapter 20, verse 12 (20:12) of the Book of the Apocalypse, here is what we read: "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." In this amazing prophecy, that holy, Creator God will judge us on the basis of books of what we have done! What is written in those books about your life? Every lie is recorded there. Every thing you have stolen. Every time you looked at someone with sexual desire. Every time you have lived for your selfish ambitions rather than God. How thick is your book going to be? Can you see that you are guilty? Revelation 20:15 says, "Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." How can you be found written in this book of life? You cannot do it yourself. Jesus Christ, eternal God in the flesh, who was tempted every way we are tempted and never sinned, died on the cross as a sin offering on the behalf of sinners. God poured out His wrath on His Son in our place (2 Cor. 5:21). He rose from the dead (1 Cor. 15:3-5). His perfect righteousness can be credited to you so you can be found not guilty on the day of judgment. Your responsibility? Repent (turn from all known sin) and believe (abandon yourself to Christ's perfect work). Read Acts 3:19 and Romans 5:1-11. Don't just agree with the facts of the gospel; abandon yourself to it. You may not live to see the year 2012. Please get right with God before it is too late

        You have conveniently forgotten the most important scripture: Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."

        Can't pick and choose which ones we pay attention to. Besides, mankind has been expecting the "end of days" for centuries. It is inevitable that the world will end sometime, be it the sun supernovas in a few million, an asteroid, earthquake, magnetic shift, who the hell knows. All you can do is live life your very best, be a kind loving person and sit back for the ride. This talk is wasted energy!

        I BELIEVE YOU ARE SO RIGHT. GET RIGHT WITH CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      • MissLabeled 8 mths ago
        Mormon is Christian, you idiot. But then you believe in supernatural beings, so "idiot" is kind of relative. The Mayans were never known for prophecy, and the whole 2012 thing is the result of an elaborate game of "operator" where the story has gotten tweaked with each retelling. There was tiny fortune cookie-type "prophecies" that go with each 20 year "katun," and none of them predict the end of the world. The calendar just rolls the next katun.

        Education instead of blind stupidity and superstition will do you wonders!

      The Stupid Indonesians need to stop hurting the Ahmadi's, this earthquake is a gift from God to the non-ahmadiys!

      Another Tsunami is needed in Indonesia from Allah to the non-muslim nation that they have become, where human rights are not honored!

      In a few years from now Indonesia will be hit by a cataclysmic event that will destroy the entire region. The live volcanoes cause the earthquakes, the tsunamis, and will blanket most of the Earth with ash. The death of millions will be attributed to the ring of fire, and the ash cloud will blot out the Sun for two years killing off most of the plants, and animals alike.

        It is NOT the end of days...it is simply GOD punishing the majority of Indonesians for the EVIL they have inflicted on the peace loving Ahmadiys.
      • Zenix 9 mths ago
        This is a natural event. No "God" had anything to do with it.

        Mike is a scholar from the University of Dumb-ass.

        Seriously Mike, do yourself a favor and stay on the sidelines. Opening your moth just shows us how ignorant you are.
