    If Multiverse Theory is true...… could there be a time line coming when all the horrible sounding prophecies are fulfilled as some sort of allegory and all us religious types are there scratching our heads as ninety percent or more of the negative predictions that we made are avoided????

    One of the best booklets available on this idea is:

    I have spoken to author Robert Mendelson many times by phone and he utterly refuses to take any credit for the amazing plan that was given to him. It began with an out of the body experience or near death experience.

    I have felt that Catholics tend to be somewhat more artistically inclined than Protestants like myself so I posted the three part explanation for exactly how Robert was given all this in posts #7, 30 and 33.

    Dear Pope Francis...... how about we assist the Jews to get Rabbi Nachman back?

    Sorry but your question makes no sense. What does multiverse theory, timelines, and allegorical possibilities have to do with one another?

    Perhaps you could rephrase your question.

    Basically....... near death experiencer Dannion Brinkley was shown an absolutely horrible future, even by the year 2000.

    If..... what he was shown during his NDE was an actual time line that already occurred previous to his 1975 NDE..... then it seems like we must have made some good decisions because many of the disasters that happened a decade or two ago in that other possible time line have not happened yet?!

    If...… better and better and better time lines keep being produced.... where we make better and better decisions and delay or even avoid certain disasters...… then eventually there should come a time line where ...… "all green grass was burnt up" may be fulfilled by an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all flesh where all of us are filled with the Holy Spirit that burns the garbage and sin out of our lives????

    Revelation 8:7


    Isaiah 40:7

    Jeremiah 23:29
    This discussion is based somewhat on.....

    http://www.politicalforum.com/relig...osophical-implications-multiverse-theory.html

    The Philosophical implications of Multiverse Theory?

    ............…

    and I am hoping to break some of us out of a mentality of hopelessness because we may think that world events can only go one way...… This would make us more willing to do something drastic such as........

    Large churches in democratic nations should print their own currencies.

    Most all of the prophecies have already come true.

    What we see now is the terrorism by the Muslims at the end days, as the whole beast heads for a massive world wide depression.
    The big moment is now in progress where the Jews accept Jesus as their Elijah.
    That will be followed by conversion of Islam into understanding that trinity means God is Reality and his son and image is Truth.

    Then peace follows.

    If he witnessed something in a multiverse it would only apply to that multiverse not ours so I am not sure of the connection you are making.

    If the multiverse theory is true, than there could be an infinite infinite number of possibilities meaning that all possible realities could possibly exist.

    That might include an existence with God and an existence without one. It could also mean an existence with humans and an existence without humans.

    However...I don't think none of that would matter to us since we are on our own singular course. Even though other multiverses exist, they'd have to be in different realities. It's not like stepping through a portal or slipping through a wormhole- each instance of possibility represents a total and complete summation of all existence on it's own linear track.

    Only one Reality would exist whether it describes one Universe or more.

    Reality is God almighty.
    Everyone knows that opposing Reality is insane.
    We MUST bow down o Reality or become extinct.

    You are very entertaining... it's like watching a dog chase it's own tail...

    I don't know if that squares up with your "truth" or "reality" but it's certainly been my observation! Please keep posting! :clapping:

    That would be the Reality, though.

    We might even be able to understand the realities in the other universe, too.

    I have no preference ...just looking forward to reading your next post.

    I think it was Spooky who last asked in this thread for clarification of your posts, not me.

    Yes.......... this is a critical aspect of the big picture.............. IF.... humanity comes together in the Jubilee year of 2016 or 2017....(which actually may go from Yom Kippur 2015 to Yom Kippur 2016...… or perhaps from Yom Kippur 2016 to Yom Kippur 2017)??????............… THEN......… Christian, Jewish and Islamic Theologians may tend to explain a scenario where perhaps.......... President Saddam Hussein of Iraq was indeed a modern Nebuchadnezzar and...… .the missile barrage of Baghdad may well have fulfilled certain prophecies in Jeremiah.......


    Jeremiah 50:9


    .........… This verse..... as well as how I have tended to understand its possible application...… is another one of the reasons why............. President George W. Bush is in my top two favorite USA Presidents!

    Actually....... Spooky was asking for clarification for my posts...… not so much CupidDave's....... For the record.... when the dust all settles and the smoke all clears away and we can finally see what really has been happening.......... I tend strongly to suspect that CupidDave will be shown to have been closer to the truth........ than you or I or other's may have imagined......................??????!

    Superstition
    They've been saying the same fear mongering crap for thousands of years. And it's always 'different this time'.
    You don't believe in santa claus or the easter bunny, do you?

    If that was right, then the Truth would be that Reality is multi-dimensional.

    You know what....... near death experiencer Christian Andreason was shown a time in the future where we live a very long time....... and when it is time to pass on we make a lot less fuss about the whole process than we do these days?!

    http://www.allaboutchristian.com/spirituality/

    .............
    ......… So in that other time line... I guess NDE accounts would be relatively less common..... due to a much lower incidence of heart attack, cancer and other serious health problems???!

    At this time my theory is that in the not horribly distant future the truth about trace minerals, MSM, glyco-nutrients and other potential low cost methods to greatly increase our combination of health plus longevity will help us to radically shift the whole paradigm away from an economy that somewhat depends on the healthy stock prices for large medical companies that are promoting what I am fairly certain is obsolete technology!

    Trace minerals and longevity + health?

    You know what, Dennis.....

    you throw around "NDE" like an evangelical throws around "Jeeeez'zus".

    All you've done is replace a supposedly "scientific phenomenon" of dubious credibility for the belief in a demi-god myth from the Iron Age.

    Same way Cupid Dave tries to incorporate geology into making a tribal creation myth into "reality".

    ?
    So in order for you to doubt the Bible you imagine the Geological Clock doesn't exist?

    No doubt you believe that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old though, in spite that same Geological clock was what measures this time frame.

    The Truth would be that Reality is multi-dimensional even according to what you, yourself, said.

    lol, one must really have to want the end time to come to think all the prophecies have already come true during their generation

    and I would not hold my breath on Jews and Muslims converting to the Christian religion anytime soon

    You want to turn a book of MYTHS from an Iron Age tribe of goatherders...


    into "science" to try to prop up your belief that the book is "accurate and historical."

    My post was a joke. Even Dennis saw that. You are incapable of humor, Dave.


    It's part of the reason I pity you.
