How is Generalizing a Period of Time Considered Date Setting?

[Stevangelist]

I asked, “If You Had to Guess, How Soon Will the Rapture Happen“?
1-3 Years!
4-6 Years!
7-9 Years!
10-12 Years!
13-15 Years!
16-18 Years!
19-21 Years!
22-24 Years!
25-27 Years!
More than 27 Years From now!

I don’t even believe I was date setting but asking a question based on generalized period of time. I don’t believe I was date setting at all because I was not referencing a specific date but generalized periods of time. I even read the rules before posting my poll and didn’t think it was against board rules to generalize periods of time. :idunno

I think these rules need to be cleared up for everybody by being more specific.

I didn't think that was date setting at all... I think date setting to be more like saying "Ok. He is coming this very day at this very time."

And if this is considered a date setting thing (which it really isn't, like you said it was more like a generalized period of time) but if it is then I guess we all are date setters then.... don't we all look at the signs of the times and as everything worsens does not everyone automatically think...soon???


Remember everyone we will get beautiful crowns for watching! :-) hehehehe


Love everyone and God Bless......

We allow general statements like the rapture could be "soon" "around the corner" "anyday now" etc. But we do not allow things like the rapture could be within 1-2 years, or in 1988, or by such and such date.

Now that this has been addressed, I am closing this thread. :)
