i remember back in febuary, i was happy, i wasnt scared of harold camping. i lived a happy life. until i went to bed one night and watched a funny homer simpson video on youtube, but when i scrolled down to see the comments, i came across a doom and gloom prediction comment, (Remember this was before i found this website) and it said this,

"March 22nd end of the world the feast of Purim jesus coming back the great tribulation pray for your loved ones pray and repent or PERISH!!!"

now to me that sounds like what a bible thumper would say, but back then i though it was the real deal, then march 22nd they said a giant megaquake (earthquake at a magnitude of 10.6) followed with Jesus returning was going to take place. i was terrified, and worst of all, when i was in class at school, someone was watching a movie in the other classroom, and it was making trumpet noises, you know like from the revelation book or whatever they call it. and i absolutely just lost it and hid under my desk scared out of my mind. :( i was almost to the point of passing out. then my teacher came and asked me why i was doing this, and he took me outside and i explained to him about it. he understood what i was saying. and he explained that it was a movie from another classroom. i calmed down after that, it was a crazy day.

i also remember May 20th 2012. it was a cool eclipse. :) but also it was another day that bogus predictions came along. so then in June 2012, i found this website! and you guys helped me so much with the July 21st thing. thanks so much. ;)

It sounds like the movie you described that they were watching was probably the flick, Red State, which was actually where the audio was grabbed to make all those videos that popped up all over YouTube about "strange sounds heard all over the world."

Even in the movie, the sound was generated by college kids playing a prank on a psycho pastor.

I even remember once, someone forwarding me a YouTube video about a hole in Russia that was "so deep" that "you could hear the sounds of Hell." I recognized the Hell sounds right away, as that same sound sample was used at the beginning of a song called "Aggression" by Front Line Assembly which was released back in 1988. In other words, definitely FAKE!

I am not going to bother repeating what has been said by others here, including myself, about how scripture states that no one, not even the angles in heaven will know the date or the hour of the end. I also wont bother adding how God cares more about his word than even his own name, to leaving bread crumbs for idiots like Camping or any moron with a YouTube account to find.

But I will say this to you since you seem like you are a good kid; If there is one thing I have learned in my own life, especially after being confronted with my own mortality, is that you must appreciate every day as if it were your last, but plan and look forward as if you know that you will live to be 100.

thanks. :D i dont think heaven and hell are even in the physical world, i think they are 2 seperate dimensions. heaven is not the clouds you see in the sky. i think its somewhere in another dimension, some bible thumpers think hell is at the earths core. that saying isnt true, i also think a seperate dimension. like heaven. :I the only thing that is at the earths core is lava. and molten rock. :) thanks.

I agree that they exist outside the dimension of time and space as we know it.

Hell is really being removed from God's sight and out of his protection and grace.

People have been trying to materialize both God and the devil since the beginning of time. That was the motivation behind the golden calf built by the ancient Israelites in the book of Exodus. To materialize and humanize gives man the ability to manipulate, giving man the power greater than God, hence why the very first commandment was about that very thing.

Ultimately, that is between you and God, and not for anyone to tell you since no one can speak for him.

There is not a single one among us that has not sinned.

Do you know what the real definition of the word "sin" really is according to the original Hebrew? It simply means to miss the mark = You tried, you did your best, yet did not hit the bull's eye.

We all have done that, myself included. We do it every day. The main thing is that you are not wicked. Your intent is good, and when you see error in your way, you attempt to make it right.
