    Do we see the foretold Skoffers today?

    Let's say, the Bible never existed! There never was a Messiah! that walked this earth. There was nowhere to look for anything better than what we have right now. At best, the last stop was the funeral parlor, and the coffin where we'd lay in until our burial. That's it! That's all there is! We end up, Boot's up. No hope for anything after that! It's all over! Done! No hope of a resurrection, because there really never was any Messiah that took away the sin of the World, that had brought on our death in the first place. We were simply brought into being, or born to die, in that hopeless condition. Lay the Bible aside, it doesn't exist! Imagine that in your mind. Someone explain to me, where do we find anything that gives us all any solid hope for the future?

    Is there any Worldly Politician or Religious Leader that can point us to anything solid to believe in, that can prove beyond all doubt that they can show us a way for a better life than we have right now? Can give us tangible evidence that the way they direct us in will lead us to the best of a life posible? Better than anything we could ever even imagine in our minds?

    There really isn't is there? Why? Because they are on the exact same road we all are on, isn't that correct? They all too will end up at that same funeral parlor tucked neatly in that coffin. Boot's Up! Dead! Done! Finished! Not able to help themselves any longer, muchless anyone else. That being true! Just where do we look for any hope for a better future? Is there absolutely no source that can show us there is a hope for a better future? That that hope is solidly grounded, on indisputable evidence?

    Yes! There is one source! The one we'd laid aside! The one and only hope for all Mankind, the Bible! This Book that we just may lay aside as of no consequence is solidly grounded on indisputable evidence, but we, as individuals, must be willing to dig out that evidence, and give it a thorough examination. To prove to ourselves whether it is all true, or not.

    Some individuals today when told this, laugh and scoff at the promises in the Bible, not knowing by doing that ridiculing are in actuality proving themselves the Bible to be true, so this Book they are laughing at is making fools out of them, but they arn't aware of even that much. Thousands of years in advance this Book, they are laughing at, foretold they would be on the scene now, in our last days doing that laughing. Take note of the following:

    3 "First, be aware of this: scoffers will come in the last days to scoff, following their own lusts, 4 saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation."{2 Peter 3:3,4 HCSB} I wonder if they find that laughable?

    Jude also had something to say about these ones and what their real problem was:

    17 "But you, dear friends, remember the words foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 they told you, "In the end time there will be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly desires." 19 These people create divisions and are merely natural, not having the Spirit." {Jude 17-19 HCSBN}

    These were the ones Jude said, created divisions, lacking the Holy Spirit, and because of that lack didn't even understand what they were laughing at. As it turned out, through the pen of Jude and Peter, Jehovah is laughing at them. Along with Jude and Peter, and myself, who were also laughing at them, by exposing them for all to see. They very Book they didn't believe, had foretold their presence, for our own day, two thousand years ago. One would think that would make believers out of them, in quick time.

    What's this all about, you might be thinking? I put a Post on this Board to show a brand new life was on the horizon. It was my erffort to show all of you, that we do have a marvelous hope for the future. I supplied all the scriptures necessary to backup everything I was saying. It was done to encourage everyone on the Board. Some got the idea it was very funny, so decided they'd ridicule and skoff at what I'd written. This is just to show them, that Jehovah knew they'd be around, and he used the Book they didn't believe, to expose them and show them all; the big joke was really on them. Having no spirit, they are too blind to see that. So, carry on with your skoffing, scoffers. You were all foretold, so don't let me down. I need to see that! It's part of the composite sign of the coming of Christ into Kingdom Power. Wannabe

    Thank you for having the courage to correct my thinking.

    I will attend the Public Meeting and Watchtower this Sunday and even offer a comment as a result of your thread.

    Oh wait. I'll do that as part of my fade.

    Close enough.

    Ok the bible never existed.

    next point, why do you use both "scoff" and "skoff" ?

    and thirdly its not hard to make a self-fulfilling prophecy to come true.

    case in point. Suppose I say I'm the messiah and tell you this, and yet right after I say this to you I then tell you that

    very soon after me saying that, others will rise up and ridicule me and cast doubt on my claim.

    Even though it will come true that others will arise and cast doubt on my initial claim of being the messiah thus "proving"

    my second part of my claim, does it hold true that the first part is true as well since the latter did happen?

    The problem with the view in the OP is that it ignores what is REALLY important: THE PRESENT.

    Dubs conspicuously forego their present (and perhaps ONLY) life in service to a hope that might be wrong, based on an interpretation that might be wrong, of a book that might be wrong (Thanks, Tim). Why? Because they're indoctrinated to think in terms of that future instead of living the life they've been given. Tragic. Sad.
