However, in the event you're really convinced, please be sure to contact me by 14 May 2011, as I will be happy to take your money and property off your hands as you prepare for the Second Coming.
No no, brother! I am the best holder of your earthly goods. I promise to NEVER give them back. THis will truly SHOW your faith in God to the non believers.

I think that you must go with your belief here. Do not be disuaded by those who do not share your worldview. If you believe that God is returning to take his people with him in 2011, then you must live your life accordingly and show others that the time is coming.

One of the best ways to do this is to divest yourself of your earthly possessions before the day of glory. I want to help you friend. Private message me your bank account numbers and titles to your worldly possessions. I will relieve you of that burden and help you demonstrate to everyone that your faith is real. Faith without works is nothing. Remember that. I await your message.

Might I suggest that, just to be on the safe side, the two of you use me as a go-between?

On the off chance that itwillend might lack that trust in you, Beaudreaux, I would like to offer myself as the buffer for your transaction. I appreciate the magnanimous gesture you are making, in offering to help itwillend divest himself of his earthly possessions, and prove his worthiness to go with God.

Don't make any rash decisions - take your time and consider my offer. I have only your interests at heart.

Is that date familiar to anyone on here? I have evidence that God will return that day. No, I am not joking, but I do understand this could open me up to more insulting than I have already received.
Look forward to your replies...

I have evidence you're wrong.

Joseph Smith Inspired Version of Matthew 24:36
But of that day, and hour, no one knoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only.

What is this - dueling holy texts?

Someone pointed out how the bible says
"But of that day, and hour, no one knoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only."
You know it is quite immature for someon to point out and pick scripture that support their concerns of views. When we study the bible we have to compare scripture with scripture. If we read a statement like "But of that day, and hour, no one knoweth; no, not the angels of God in heaven, but my Father only." We then have to take that statement and see what the rest of the bible has to say about it.

Let me give you an example. It says in the old testament that all children at a certain age are to be circumcised, no? Well whether you believe in the bible or not, it does say that. Yet later when Jesus came, he fullfilled this requirement by shedding his blood. So we no longer need to do that.
The point being if we were to just read that in the old testament we could conclude we have to do that!
It is the same with the text you quote. You know God does that a lot in the bible so unblievers will sit back and say "A HA". Well turn to the book of 1st Thessalonians CH 5. Where you will read that the Lord will come as a thief in the night for those who are in darkeness, but keep reading. You will see for his children are not in darkeness that that day should take them as a thief in the night.
Also turn to Revelations 3 ch 3.
After you read these come back to me, and tell me that your initial quotation needs to re-addressed. At the very least you will have to conclude maybe what you read is being taken out of context. Which is how the bible is designed. If we don't read the whole thing comparing scripture with scripture, we will never understand.

My goal here is not to say A HA I know more than you. My goal is to genuinely talk about these topics. I don't want to fight, so if I say something that is not scripturally backed up, just let me know.

Hmm maybe I am at the wrong forum. I am just as open as the next guy or girl when it comes to discussion, but it seems that a lot of what I am reading is just pointless. The forum is for religous discussion right?

Sure, but we like to have a little fun too. I'm still waiting for you to give us more details on this. Where does it say that on May 21st 2011, the lord will return? And by which calendar? Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew?

1877 BC. The family of Joseph cam to Egypt and took up residence in the land of Goshen. The city of Avaris (Zoan in the Bible), which later was called Tanis or Qantir, was the capital.
1850 BC. Sesostris III died after an exceedingly successful reign of 38 years. HE was succeeded by another great 12th Dynasty pharaoh named Amenemhet III. Under his reign Joseph continued as Prime Minister. A canal bearing Joseph’s name was constructed at this time.
1806 BC. Joseph died.
1802 BC. Amenemhet III died after a 48-year reign. During his reign Egypt was prosperous, tranquil, and productive. He was succeeded by Amenemhet IV who reigned for 9 years. During his reign, there was much internal strife for royal supremacy.
1791 BC. Amenemhet IV died and succeeded by the last pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty, Sebeknefrure.
1787 BC. Sebeknefrure’s reign of four years ended and with it ended the 12th Dynasty. The 13th Dynasty began. The reigns of succeeding pharaohs were short, and the empire began to dissolve. The Israelites, who no doubt are the "Hyksos" of archaeological fame, took advantage of the internal struggles to acquire a strong hand in the Egyptian government and indeed some of them may have reigned as pharaohs during this period.
1580 BC. (approx.) Several dynasties have ruled over Egypt since 1787 BC. At this time, Ahmose I began to reign as the first king of the 18th Dynasty. He forcibly began to remove the Israelites (Hyksos) from political power. The most war-like Israelites were driven from the land, and the Israelitish nation began to be severely oppressed. Either this pharaoh or a closely succeeding pharaoh such as Thutmose I could well have been the king who "did not know Joseph" (Exod. 1:8).
1560 BC. (approx.) Ahmose I was followed by his son Amenhotep I. Amenhotep I consolidated the gains of his father.
1540-1535 BC. (approx.) Thutmose I began to reign as king. He, too, was a continuation of the 18th Dynasty. He continued and probably intensified the oppressive measures against the Israelites; he was ruling when Moses was born. His animosity towards the Israelites was probably heightened b his troubles with Palestine and Syria. His reign was followed by that of his son Thutmose II.
1527 BC. Moses was born at a time when a royal edict condemned all Hebrew boy babies to be destroyed. Princess Hatshepsut, a daughter of the king, found Moses in the bulrushes and raised him as her son.
1501 BC. Thutmose III began to reign as the greatest king of the 18th Dynasty. For approximately the first 254 years of his reign, he was co-regent with Princess Hatshepsut. She regarded herself as a king and was the dominant ruler during this co-regency.
1487 BC. Moses fled from Egypt. King Hatshepsut, who had raised Moses as her son, sought to kill him because of his evident loyalty for the Israelites.
1481 BC. (approx.) King Hatshepsut died and Thutmose III continued to reign until the time of the Exodus.
1447 BC. Israel went out of Egypt during the reign of Thutmose III. The Exodus was after Israel had been in Egypt for 430 years (Gen. 12:40).
1407 BC. Israel’s entrance into Canaan.

All the dates above are specific to the bible and the events inside the bible.
This is something documented over many years, and while this is not the proof, it is imprtant to me explaining how the date is come up with when we talk about May 21st 2011.

So before I begin does anyone have any objections to the date and timelines I have provided thus far. Or do you need further explanation to each date or a particular date?

I'll await any responses before I move on.

My only question is what does a timeline list have to do with your prediction? Also, I ask again, which calendar are you using as your baseline? Hebrew?

We have to use all calendars to come up with accurate timetables. In order for us to find harmony we have to know the jewish calendar and be able to realte it to our modern calendar. for example the jewish Calendar did not have as many months as we do. So all of this has to be taken into consideration.
You say you don't see how a timetable helps understand May 21st 2011? Well obviously by me just saying May 21st 2011, you are not satisfied. rightly so.
I have provided you here a timeline of the bible. Not just any timeline, but one specifcally designed out of the bible. You can take this timeline and find everything in the bible. So I think it is very important when we try to understand any event in time, especially if the bible tells us when the end is coming.

Another thing to consider is in the bible whenever God destroyed something he ALWAYS gave a warning and an exact time it would take place. He did for Naoh, Sodom and Gomorah, also when he was going to destroy the ninevites, though he ended up not destroying them, he told them when it would happen if they did not repent. the did repent though. My point being it is out of character for us to NOT know when God would destroy something, especially when it comes to the end of the world.
