Bible Discussion Thread

I put myself in the shoes of a proud sinner and I realised that a sinner will be very angry with the God od the Bible after reading chapter 16. Then I put myself in the shoes of a humble repentant person and felt that Chapter 16 warns him ahead of time what to expect if he fails to obey God as required. The warning is a life line to rescue him from eternal death. I often wonder why some people hate to admit that there is a God out there who is so against evil conduct that He will exercise His prerogative only He has the right, no one else to deal with sin in the most painful and frightening way. Yet people sin. I must say that I am amazed that nothing frightens some people. Save your souls before its too late. Jesus will come anytime . But dont just wait . How do we know whether our time is up before His coming? I believe the rapture will be before the tribulation or at least before it ends. We are , I believe, in tribulation times already
