    As an actual bible believing Christian, I would like to officially distance myself from all this nonsense.

        Jesus teaches that He will return at the head of a Holy Army, to kill all who won’t accept Him as Lord.

        “They” can’t even come close to the horrors Jesus promised. The lake of blood will be miles wide, and as high as a horse’s bridle (according to Him).

        His billions of victims won’t even have peace in death, as He promises them eternal torment in a lake of fire. According to Him.

          Which shows that you did not understand the bible. Forget the Apocalypse. It should never have made it to the book, and has nothing to do with what Jesus preached.

            I understand the Bible… it appears that you’ve never read it.

            Jesus Himself preached that He will return at the head of a Holy Army to crush humanity, you have no idea what is going on. Jesus Himself described the eternal torments of Hell.

            You should probably read the Bible so you know what I’m talking about, and stop spreading blatant falsehoods, which, by the way, is heresy and condemns you to Hell.

            Even if you remove “the Apocalypse” from the Bible completely (by that I take it you mean Revelation), the quotes of Jesus remain in the New Testament elsewhere. You just ignore them.

            Disgusting revisionism of core Christian doctrine. You should be ashamed of yourself.

            Do you think He promised to come back to Earth for hugs? No. Like He said, He came not to bring peace, but the sword.

              Funny, though. I’ve read the Bible several times, but I do not recall any line of Jesus returning with an army to crush humanity. Could you supply book and verse?

              And because I know the Bible I disregard the Apocalypse (or Revelation, if you prefer).
