I have understood the meaning is to be prepared for that day, because it will come when people don't expect it. But, when it comes, it will be as clear as lighting through sky, you will notice it without any effort.

I believe it wasn't first on the list. Maybe the obsession is closer to home.

How would homosexuality make the population disappear unless everyone magically became homosexual?
Duh! I believe two people of the same sex do not produce children.

Why would it be on the list at all? It's benign.

And how would that stop heterosexuals from procreating? I'm the one who should be saying "duh!", Son...

I believe it will be as the Bible describes it.

I believe it does not and there are not enough to be a problem. The US would be in big trouble from actual families having fewer children if it were not for the fact that the rest of the world is banging them out like gangbusters and sending them to us.

So why bother to bring it up, then?
How would it be in "big trouble", and wouldn't Jesus want you to welcome them with open arms?

How is it not idolatrous and blasphemous to believe that God's beholden to a book?
If it could be noticed without any effort Christ would not have said to watch and pray. That indicates it could be missed.
I have understood watching means, you look that you are prepared for it. You take care that you are righteous and don't "fall asleep", turn to bad ways.
Millions and millions of Christians have lived and died saying “He’s Coming! He’s Coming!” And millions more will live and die chanting the same words ad infinitum. It’s a never ending story. The Jews say the same that Christ hasn’t come yet. Another 2,000 year old chant and counting. And this sorry saga just goes on and on as if implying Christ doesn’t keep His promises and never will. How many more 1,000’s of years will this mantra continue to be heard?
My Lord keeps His promises even if His professed followers still say He hasn’t come.

No but this made me laugh because it reminded me of the time I came out to my parents and for pride that year my dad was like "Hey Ashoka, you're part of the LGBBQ community, right?"
He was trying to ask if he could go to pride with me. I about died.

I think that their afterlife may very well be quite different than they initially anticipated.

I believe God is true to what He says.

I believe we have already seen it. Because of Covid-19 immigration and green card workers shrank. This contributed to a lack of workers and supply problems.

So if I claimed that God speaks through me, you would believe it? What's the difference?

God is not atheist. God hates Atheism because Holy God hates each and every sin.

Atheism is not a sin. If it was God would have to hate himself.
