rumors of earthquakes n tsunamis

those stuff again...i'm prob gonna write a very controversial blog? gee, then again most blogs are supposed to be this way, judging at the stuff i read nowadays on the media. anyone wanna beat me at being controversial? heh heh. i bet many have already.

Comparatively, blogs are even, well, safe compared to the newspapers even. Well, that's just my opinion...i'm human. Why do i feel this way? because people know blogs as "Opinionated" and subject to the individual's point of views and bias. so there is lowered expectations already, unlike newspapers, whom a lot of people take as Bible truth. Believe me, how would u know the people they interview are telling the whole truth? i think the best way to check if sth is true is to really check a variety of sources. google it. if several sites (say, 5 or 7 sites at least) claim the same news....it might be worth a think. and here, i'm talking about think, not even wholeheartedly believe. then again, the reader has the right to believe what he wants. Don't get me wrong. I really admire and look up to news reporters. some of them have really been the voice of truth and help to me, on a personal level, as friends too. It's just the envy bug that sneaks in occasionally. teehee.

7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death,

and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray
and hate each other,
11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will
grow cold,
13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world
as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
(Matt 24 n Mark)
