China’s Famed Yangtze River Turns Red, Baffles Officials

Revelations gives the most accurate insight into the end times especially the7 Years of great disasters coming. It's not only to scare us but also an act ofa merciful God who warns us beforehand so we can repent and turn to him for salvation. You don't want to be on earth when the day of God wrath happens.

Sorry my friend but we live in a time period where we know that talking snakes dont exsist and science knows we didnt come from 2 people. that is old age thinking to say the bible (a book which has been re-written over 126 times) has all the answers. "God" wouldnt destroy its children, would you? How is it humans can get rid of such petty emotions like jealousy and "God" cant? this has nothing to do with god because if it did we would be living happy and free. Really everyone i know theres things we humans cant explain but dont jump on the bandwagon saying its jesus or god. That takes people away from facing what is actually reality

bible is a book from GOD and science and bible complement each other well and the law of evolution is a doctrine of religion and satan there is no evidence we evolved from apes if that was true we would be still evolving from humans to somethin else….scientists can only send an unmanned robot in planet mars but he can never count how many stars God has created in the universe…mans knowledge and intelligence is foolish in Gods sight…he has allowed man to explore this universe but mans limited knowledge about the universe is a sure shot proof that he can never match God nor any science can match Gods wisdom there r more than billion galaxies man couldnt even explore planets outside our solar system…..praise to our wise and powerful God

Will pray for you Nick, that your eyes may be opened.

prophecies about syria from prophet isaiah and now prophecy abt armageddon in revelation is not far

satan took the form of serpent as a means to speak and deceive eve …..its not that serpents can speak satan used the serpent as a channel for communication….look atall the things happenning,vodoo,blackmagic ,astrology all r satanic and true so why is it that God is fake

I'm not talking about the universe I'm talking about this river in china. its not 'GOD"..science and religion are in 2 different times in history science is proof man has discovered. and religion has NO EvIDENCE AT ALL. the best scholars in the world will tell you the bible and other religious doctrines have been mistranslated and rewritten so many times they cant take it serious only to the fact its old and we put value into it. It is Phsically provenhat life developes and grows everywhere and anywhere. you would be foolish and totally ignorant to disagree. When they sterilize the nuclear powerplant they found bacteria growing in there proving this with man tests. And for you to be talking about satan is childish. There's an undeniable amount of proof we evolve as a species no evidence proves adam and eve the snake, moses noahs arc, and all those stories. You people have no idea about Quantum physics and ancient knowledge. you take what these people said literal instead of interpreting what it meant back then. I'm not going to hell because I don't believe in religion. If anything your not suppose to judge that's "GODs" job, you religious people contradict yourself to much.And its sad to see your blind to it.. Faith=belief that is not based on proof.. you blindly follow the sheep -_- smh.

actually Nick there are plenty of PhDs in Quantum Physics and other sciences that are strong Christians and believers in God. Of course we know that bacteria can mutate and develop immunities to certain things that used to be able to harm them like antibiotics and sterilizing solutions as well as extreme climates of hot or cold and even high amounts of radiation (which can even promote rapid mutations sometimes bad and sometimes good). You can say that the Bible is just some silly old text that has been edited repeatedly, but the truth is we believe in a God that wants us to have His word and if powerful enough to create the universe, He can have no issues getting His word to us. Look at how now the bible is unchanging and currently the #1 best seller of all books in the entire history of textual documents. How does that just happen without divine intervention? Also, I am not saying that this event occurring in China is for sure a sign of the apocalypse, but I mean come on! No one can explain why a river would just all of a sudden change to blood red? We are way past the technology of being able to identify Chemicals in water and identify their source. This is the third largest river in the world and it remains a mystery to every. Just consider what revelations says to be an option. If the end is neigh, then pay attention. There will be more signs than just this one. We pray for you Nick.

its not a "of course we know bacteria can mutate and develop immunities to certain things " kind of thing because obviously these people believe the earth was created 6000 years ago by a guy who keeps score on whos bad and good… yes some quantum physicist do believe in christianity and buddhism but they will even tell you the bible IS NOT the word of god. these people know nothing about Quantum Mechanics and he new discoveries they have found or re-discoveriesi should say..Like Ghandi said "i like your christ,but i do not like your christians thy are so unlike your christ".. people need to read more than one book in my opinion haha thats all

So do you believe in God but not in the bible?

Nick, if there was a REAL scientific explanation to all the wonders of the world, we would know about them by now would we not? The Bible stands true throughout the centuries. I have seen signs as many others have and THERE DEFINITLEY IS A GOD…THE ONE AND ONLY GOD..I feel so sorry that there are atheists and scientologists and the like out there walking around in darkness. All we can do is like douglas said..pray for the salvation of all who won't believe. If you were dying, who would you pray to? NOONE? NOTHING? Do you think when you die, you just die and that there are no repercussions for wrongdoing? I truly don't know. If everyone believed there was no God, couldn't all just run amuck killing others, stealing and sinning all the time..I mean, since there would be no punishment for doing that? It is very scary to me and I too will pray for you even though I know you don't want it..GOD wants you to be his child…so it is our duty as Christians to lead you to him or ask HIM do work a Miracle in your life to show you. God Bless.

See Nick…the big difference in Christians and scientists who don't Believe is things like you just wrote. Noone who's a true Christian and Child of God would EVER call you foolish. You just don't know..but you're not foolish. WE read your posts without judging you, rather we pray that you will BE SHOWN and that one day you WILL see God's Love for you. We are not judiging you…we are praying out of love and concern FOR you. Jesus teaches us to do that…and we know HE is always right. I honestly hope you see the light and follow the Lord as the end times are near. Again, God Bless you. I pray he shines his light down on you, his child and shows you that HE IS real. When finally you see, you will wonder how you could not have seen before.

WOW. My satellite is out so I haven't seen the news all day. This truly has to be another sign that the end is very near. I think it's why so many atheists and other non Christians have been showing themselvs SO MUCH lately too. We are being faced with EVIL and we have to be VERY sure we stay close to God.

Nick you may not believe in the bible..but rewritten its not. You can close your eyes all you want bro, you one day will answer to your Creator, you might wanna recheck your facts before youjust believe whatever u hear

of course i believe in a divine force that connects all living things.But when people start mentioning religion and bible thats where you have to draw the line because now your getting peoples opinion.. If any of you know who "Gregg Braden" is and have seen "what the bleep do we know" then you will know where im coming from. religion was made to conquer and divide no good has come out of religion exampe:wars and social acceptance..Stop being so confident with your answers everyone. people are basing it off opinion not facts.. Plus if jesus were to come back today we would kill him faster than we did back then. Were smarter then we were back then so evolve everyone stop thinking about Bronze age beliefs its lunacy in our modern age…

Debbie McCoy and everything your telling me has been regurgating to you from people and what pastors have preached to you your whole life. You dont know any of this as facts but only based off faith because someone said to.. we have older scriptures and tablets then the bible like the "Vedas" which is 100,000 years old.. and your gonna sit there and tell me a 4000 year old book has all the answers. come on! you guys cant be that deluted sheesh america we havent come this far to hold onto beliefs that dont apply anymore.

All of you are selling certainty and I'm the only one on the corner with doubt. like they say follow the person who is looking for the answers instead of the person with all of them. Now I know how jesus felt cuz I'm the only person on here stating truth and everyone else is so deluted by a system with no morality NO EVIDENCE AT ALL.. I find more morality the rick james bible… jesus was criticized by everyone just like I am being right now.. think about it people.

Yet another sign of what's to come

Please dont tell me your on their side
haha

…God is real…and yes, Nick, Jesus is real. But you can't contact God with your five senses…it is by faith. God created us for Himself…He wants a relationship with you, but He won't force you. If you want to know the Truth, you have to seek Him with your whole heart. Like it or not, it is the way He set it up. Once you truly seek for Him, you will find Him. But it will never come through mocking or scoffing…He is more than you could ever imagine. If you are afraid to take that journey, don't be. You will be amazed at what you find…the Bible is simply a book to tell you about Him…and about the plan He has for us. And yes, the history is in there…facts and all. Give Him a chance…you won't be disappointed. Besides, knowing Him is so much better that debating opinions on the internet. Peace.

Hey everybody very interesting comments. Remember Moses and the 10 plaques. How they turned the water into blood. Nick blessed are the ones who believe yet have they not seen. God is angry at the wicked everyday but his mercy is towards those who repent and turn to him. Then he forgives and remember not your sin no more. Who doesnt want a clean wardrobe. Walking in the same old clothes of sin really stinks, but God loved the world so much he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes on him will not perish. Do you believe on him then you will not perish, but if not the condemnation remain.

I think a lot more people would have faith in God if people involved in organised religion stopped trying to interpret the bible. The bible was written by man. It is a book (series of books) about God, but because it is written by man, who no more know understands God now than he did 2000 years ago, it should be taken and understood as that. The word of MAN. I am not religious, but I am spiritual now. I feel what is right in my heart, and I search for evidence about the happenings within our universe, which is likely one of many in the multiverse. I am a scientist and I am spiritual. I do not refer to my beliefs as believing in God in the sense that 'he' is a being that is loving or vengeful. I refer to my belief of 'God' or whatever name you wish to give 'it' as a belief in the energy of goodness that we can all attract or tap into. I don't need religion to tell me anything, as their teachings were written by man. The feelings of being and doing good is the language of 'God'. I have lived and experienced life without this spiritual connection that I know have. Life then WAS hell. I WAS already 'in hell'. I kept going through hell and came out of it eventually (I tried 7 times to end my life). How did I do this? With hope, love, faith, gratitude… Not by latching on to organised religions that tell of a man-made man-created effigy we name God, but by having gratitude for life, having hope in the world, having love for myself, and having faith that I was worthy. I don't need any religion to tell me to believe in their man-made image of what they believe God is. It is no better than a false deity. I already feel 'saved'. Maybe it was 'God' that did this, the label matters not. I believe in science and love quantum physics. I love life and the universe. I love me. Maybe that is 'God'.

let God's word be true and very man a liar

grew up Catholic and i have to say i agree with nick. The bible is meant to be taken as a series of stories that will inspire you to lead a good life – do good things – be a good person – care for thy fellow man. Not a scientific reference of how things are. there is nothing wrong with having faith and being a scholar or scientist in-fact. I would argue that because we are made in the image of god and there for everything we have or learn is of god as well it is religiously healthy to study science.

The earth is quite obviously older than 6000 years. there IS proof that humans not only most likely evolved from primates but that we are still evolving (though travel and science is playing a bigger part on that than natural selection – something Darwin predicted). I would bet that eventually we will get an explanation for why this happened and it will be more along the lines of a change in soil make up / industrial waste.

@June Palmer…Nick Kiby would probably prefer you keep your prayers to your mean, vengeful, jealous, cruel, god to yourself. It's creepy how you christians feel the need to say your magic words for people who neither want nor need them…I personally don't want that kind of judgmental, haughty energy anywhere around!

Come on the river is most likely polluted by some chemical that has a lot of iron or dyes in it just like before… This bible crap… How many times has it been rewritten by MAN? Sure that stuff was written but think back way back, people didn't have much of an understanding of much back then… And obviously most people still follow more than have a mind and thoughts of there own…. And that's why it's so easy for those people in "power" can so easily manipulate all of us… Because the majority believes in "god" ….. Ugh…

Oh look nick was right, it wasn't God, it was an illegal workshop dumping red dye into the city's storm water pipe network connecting the river. http://articles.cnn.com/2011-12-16/asia/world_asia_china-river-of-red_1_red-dye-xinhua-china?_s=PM:ASIA. So I guess reason was the answer after all.

At first the religious claimed that the sky was unreachable, because it was "God´s" haven. When mankind reached the sky, they brushed it off. When some started to believe the fact that the earth was round, and not the center of the universe, they were thrown out of society like madmen and outcasts. But when we finally did scientificially prove the existence of a universe, and an unending amount of galaxies…. Christians especially started to say that they knew this all along, and that god has created the universe. Religious individuals are hypocrits.

"I see no god up here" – Yuri Gagarin (Astronaut)

The comments on this artical scare me more than the article itself

if god is more then i could imagine then how do you know so much about him???did you even read anythiing i just stated in all these comments? obviously not if i sat here and proved how much flaws religion and especially the bible have and i still see ranting abotu the same things that ARENT PROVEN! people will believe in anything that takes them away from there own problems they have to fix because you people are so DEPENDENT! take responsibility for your actions instead of hoping a supreme being is just going to wave a majic wand and its all better.. come on man we have more intelligence than that.

THANK YOU!! i see at least a few people on here are using their brains…religion corrupts your mind and the way you think. This river incident has NOTHING to do with the bible sheesh =)

if every mans a liar then the bible, what they preach to you in church, and all these rituals are wrong because its man made just like Easter.. it has deep roots in the mythic past. Long before it was imported into the Christian tradition, the Spring festival honored the goddess Eostre or Eastre.The spring solstice is a man made not a divine intervention any prican tell you thst
Everything we have today is man created and man thought. Not a magical being that disciplines us for shits and giggles. THINK!!

any priest can tell you that***

Angie Alexander i dont get how you can state with such a confidence that jesus is real.. when in your entire life you never spoken,seen,heard,touched or felt the absolute power of "Jesus or god" in your life. Who are you trying convince me or yourself? if you believe in God or "Good" then your ok but if you believe in "Evil" then your the "dEVIL..you see it dont you? Take out an O in "Good" and you have"GOD" put a "D" in front of "EVIL" and you have the "DEVIL".its seriously that childish haha i know children who make better sense about the universe and creation smh-_-

thank you=)

The bible is no a book just about stories. it teaches you how to have a relationship with god and lead a moral life with out sin . The BIBLE has been and will always be GODS word to man I can only assume you have never truly looking into your bible because if you did I don't see how you could say such a thing

Danny Villasana You have proven my point about how you contradict yourselfs and how deluted you all are..if you go back and read what i said RELIGIOUS PEOPLE BELIEVE WHATEVER THEY HEAR YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE I DO!! IM A SCIENTIFIC GUY WITH MY OWN PERSONAL OPIONION ON WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE YOU BELIEVE A BOOK WITH NO MORALITY!! YOU HAVE NOFACTS IN THE BIBLE AT ALL. rread into every religion like most critical thinkers do and then base a hypothesis because you might find a belief your more tuned with. i guess your belief is most of america is going to heaven and the rest of the world isnt because they werent born with christians belief. come on were not burning witches anymore

ive read the bible Koran, the vedas, followed buddhism and read into mormon bible hinduism Native american prophecies and stories.i have studied all the major religions in the world and for people to jus be so close minded and say the bible is it is complete lunacy.. Read all the religions first then make a conclusion on what you believe my friend

I just can't get over some people's need to pray that others come around to their way of thinking! Thank the gods I have ways to protect myself from such nonsense. I do believe in a Divine presence and am very connected to it. I am grateful to be able to repel such close minded, judgmental, holier than thou thought forms that attempt to save me from their scapegoat they call Satan.

The bible is a great story, and hold a lot of facts if you are open to see them. Jesus is not real, the bible says so, Jesus comes from inside of you Jesus is a metaphor of what humans are capable of. The bible is written in parables to be stories for you to interpret into your own life and is no way historically fact. Books have been removed, words have been altered, Words like tithe and sin have been corrupted for you to think they mean what they do not.I don't have to spell it out for you, use your tools, this is 2012 not only is there a library in every city. you have the internet on every device you own.. Google some shit. Look at how many times the book was changed to fit a Kings need, history can accurately point those out to you. You cannot rely on something greater then you, you have to find it within yourself, Gen. 30 "Jacob finds God's Kingdom and calls it Pineal." Google your Pineal gland right now.

With that said, I have to say there is definitely a practical explanation on way the river is red, red is not an uncommon color to happen in nature. Oxidation (Redox) turns minerals red. Water is full of minerals. That's a much more educated guess then a winged being dumped a bowl into the river…… see how logic can get you much further faith.

At least you're not an atheist Nick. Yeah, I agree about the religions dividing the people, that's pretty obvious. Well, I cannot agree with you totally, I'm in no position to tell you are wrong and others' are correct or vice versa since I've done no research about it. May the God enlighten all of us though.

Thank you for being an understanding person my brother Namaste

'You don't want to be on earth when the day of God wrath happens.'

Wrath: Noun – Extreme anger / rage / hatred

So much for a benevolent God…

Right! haha how can we love people more then "God" does lol

I'm a science guy too nick..look at my page. I work with pHds that are believers too. Science changes their stance every few years. God SPOKE over 2000 years ago, and all the wisdom in the world can't tear down and disprove His Word. The Bible ain't going nowhere anytime soon. And I didn't "grow" up in Christianity, I did my research from unbiased sources…you should try it some time. However know that all the facts in the world won't change ur mind, as the problem is the heart..if you don't want to see, you won't. I pray one day you'll understand the meaning of this. Either way, hope u have a good weekend…

Actually archeologists have discovered that the walls of sodom and the walls of gamorrah were blasted outward as if there was a bomb set off in both cities, destroying them in a way not capable by man at the time. So i guess your statement that there is NO evidence is kind of idiotic

But why have an open and honest point of view when close minded and naive is so much simpler.

Mention anything religious and here comes the condescending atheists that feel the need to disprove a theist's beliefs in hopes that religion will just vanish along with idiocy in the human race. Then we have preachy Christians with bad grammar. Both sides are morons..

That article is dated 2011, so thats a different incident..and different river

You hold so much discontent and resentment

Towards religion, if it bothers you so much then why are you worrying about it, let people believe what they want to believe, dont tell me what my beliefs should be. You have youre single cell africa story, we have our beliefs, let it be that

Roman how is it that you get an A+ for gramar and yet you can not give a positive comment without insulting the people who participate. Add value to the people around youand they may be come as smart as you are in their grammar. But if not, please remember that the prayer of faith to God who forgives sins of man requires not perfect grammer or spelling to be saved, just a sinner in search of forgiveness from a merciful God before he poures out His wrath

Isn't it funny that people grab the first thing off Google and post it without any further research and claim it fact? First things first, check the date.

I don't like to be judgemental, but I find it hard to stand by and watch opinionated Christians judge non-Christians, so here's my opinion. Nickel Joseph Bothello , I find it interesting that you can express such strong Christian opinions and still be associated with a casino and gambling. Is this a little hypocritical? And June Palmer, I will pray for you too. And Danny Villasana, the FACTS are that there are hundreds of different copies and editions of the bible, all of which vary in their translation and interpretation, which means that it's very hard to tell what the original authors ACTUALLY WROTE OR INTENDED. I wanted to LAUGH when you told Nick to check HIS facts before believing what he heard.
OPEN YOUR MINDS PEOPLE! God is in YOU.

Nick, I will pray for you as well. If don't beleive in Christ, I suggest a book called "The case for Christ" in fact if you would like it, I will send it to you for FREE – there's NO DOUBT there is a God

Haha my dear friend for one its sodom and gOmorrah (not gAmorrah).. you say that" acheologist have discoved that the walls of sodom and the walls of gamorrah were blasted outward as if there was a bomb set off "If so then how is the historical existence of Sodom and Gomorrah still in dispute by archaeologists, .The Bible says in Genesis its near the Dead Sea,But only little archaeology evidence has been found in that region. And thats a fact!

Mayhems Minions plus it was consumed in fire & brimstone right? theres no evidence suggesting any meteors or anything from the sky every causes the walls to explode outwards. Im not trying to act like i know everything, but when it comes down to religion you dont have to be a rocket scientist to know what im stating.its that easy -_-

Debbie….What is your stance on homosexuals and their right to marriage and adoption?

You religious people commented on this page saying it was "God", but i was here to tell you stop jumping to your religious leader and showed you there was a logical explanation for it. Its that easy-_-

http://www.livescience.com/23038-yangtze-river-red.html ..This might help you 2 in the right direction=)

Cammeron Ripley i appreciate your concern, But i believe in a Divine souce of life that connects all of us spiritual beings. But i cant believe in "God" who sends its own children to eternal damnation for making mistakes in a world full of deceit and lies. I think "God" understands noone gets it the first time in life Haha thats why i believe Karma:)

& reincarnation**

ah my bad. I hadn't had my coffee yet. It's still a river in china though. I still don't take back what I said about nick being right though. I mean if china's rivers were turning red before by pollution what makes everyone so sure it isn't happening again for the same reason? Even if we don't what's causing it yet, why assume the exact same thing that happened to another river in china is not being caused by pollution under similar circumstances? If God wanted to make a stance on the earth and turn the oceans red wouldn't he just turn the oceans red and not just a single river in a country that has had their rivers turn red before?

You corrected me and then spelt it incorrectly later lol, my bad, archeologists found two sister cities with all their walls blown outward from the inside by something not known to man

@Roman Ortiz Nooone claimed atheism you just assumed. Try reading an entire conversation before making yourself look foolish and misinformed. Thank you brother

You to Danny, But no matter the amount evidence i give you you wont believe and no matter how much faith you preach im not convinced so in the end everyone walks away with their heads held high=D

@ Lindsey Masewics Beautifully said=)

SMH i was quoting you Mayhem Minions, You can obviously tell i copy and pasted what you said sheesh. Thinking you out smarted me haha of course be thats what happens when all your defenses are gone, you start to criticize grammar and now look at ya proven wrong about that haha. this is so ridiculous im done people smh -_-

God does not "kill" his children..He brings us to our Eternal Home..with Him~It is so sad that younger people today can feel this way but, that too, is prophesied in the Holy Bible.

SO, you are saying when that day comes and the Heaven's open up and our Lord descends upon earth to gather His children, you could SEE THAT HAPPEN and STILL say He isn't real? Talk about SMH…I am truly stunned. ALSO, JESUS CANNOT BE KILLED EVER again. He is Divine. There are going to be SO many peopld begging Him to forgive them at the end time. When the trumpets start blowing, the Angels come out of the sky and the Heavens open up when HE comes down…you are going to say..YOU do not exist? WOW.

Nick Kirby I know Mayhem spelled several words wrong but YOU are the one who pointed that out..then you turned around and said…and I quote.."of course be thats what happens when all your defenses are gone, you start to criticize grammar and now look at ya proven wrong about that"…just sayin'….. Personally, I don't know what "be thats what happens" means. OH WELL…I ain't gotta dog in this fight but I did notice. As my mama use to say…bit dog always barks. LOL.

@Debbie McCoy you keep making it seem like your living in a cartoon. You have never met jesus or god on this plane of exsistance so you wouldnt know what they look like.And YOU definitely dont know when the apocalypse will happen..question for you did you know apocalypse mean to unmask or the revealing and you religious fanatics will get your truth soon.And its going to be the most unsuspected event for you=) ..Man i cant wait for the procession of the Equinoxs AKA Galactic Alignment Look it up=)

No Lindsey, they STILL have not found out the reason for it. You read an old article.. YES, there HAVE BEEN waters that turned reddish or orange for various reasons..some stated on this thread. BUT, we are JUST SAYING..there MIGHT be a Biblical relation..As I stated in my comment, I Beleive IF there is, there will be many more rivers, lakes, seas turning as well..not just part of this one.

Josh Robbins I am not ashamed to say that I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, HOWEVER, I would NEVER EVER judge a homosexual and have friends who are homosexuals and they aer good people. THAT is between them and the Lord…not me. We ALL SIN in one way or another and it is for God to decide and judge. As for adoption..I'm ALL FOR IT. I mean, if you're asking me do I believe in abortion, I don't..unless a woman's life is at stake. I too, use to think a baby wasn't a baby until 3 or 4 months until I became pregnant and felt that little life inside me. THEN they came along with ultra sounds and if ANYONE can look at an ultrasound done at even 5 wks and say that is not a human being, I don't see how they could think that. OF COURSE I am all for adoption in any case where a person does not want a baby…and before you ask, I know homosexuals who have raised great kids…but they aren't "over the top" about saying everyone should be for gay marriage and teaching young children about being gay and such. They are just normal human beings. SO no, I don't beleive in gay marriage and YES I do believe whole heartedly in adoption.

Debbie McCoy i pointed out he spelled Gomorrah wrong, its a word you should properly spell because its a name of place. If it was the word contradict or psychology i'd understand where your coming from. But sorry wrong again -_- sigh

The Adoption is in reference to gay couples only. Not adoption in general. So you think it is right that your so called "almighty god" would not accept a homosexual into heaven for not repenting against their sin?? They openly accept and embrace this "so called sin". Why would a God, who is supposedly all loving and caring, chastise someone for following their heart and being themself??

So if a naive 15yr old girl was to accidentally fall pregnant through bad judgement and she did not have the means to support the child or allow herself a chance at setting herself up in life before committing a child into the world?? You would be against this?? What about women who are raped and fall pregnant?? Their life is not at stake but you think they should not be able to terminate the unborn child in the early stages of pregnancy to avoid a life of potential heartache and mental torture for both the child and mother??

Debbie McCoy yes they did find the reason…..http://www.livescience.com/23038-yangtze-river-red.html

Mary, I know other Wiccans and a VERY good friend of mine is Wiccan..but she doesn't condemn my belief in God and I don't condemn her beleifs either. As a CHRISTIAN HOWEVER, I resent that you say we "have a need" to pray others come to our way of thinking. The Bible teaches us that we must spread his word..He does not say that you have to abide by it..that is between you and your maker..not you and me. I am Christian, yet I have had MANY things happen to me that many Christians do not believe in. We are not all the same. I believe that you can have your beliefs and I can have mine. I don't call you holier than thou when you say you can "repel" things. In other words, I respect your right to you beliefs even if you don't respect mine. My friend is a "BlackDove" and I respect her right to that and I love her like family. She loves me as well. People CAN AND DO maintain relationships while believing differently.

Amen Angie Alexander…VERY well stated. Nick said he is "with doubt"…not that he does not believe so maybe…just maybe…this very thread was ALL for the reason of leading ONE SOUL to Christ. He does work in mysterious ways. I honestly went into my bedroom and asked God for the right words to say here…and I came back to read that YOU had said them. God Blesss you~

…I have studies other religions, Nick. That's why I came to know Christ personally. Religion is man-made…and are "mans" idea of what they want God to be. Knowing God is a relationship…and it can't be done through science. There is only one history of how things came to be ~ and only one truth…if you search out both…and your desire is sincere…you will find Him. Yes, He is real.

Some silly group of people messed up somewhere and spewed some form of pollution into the environment. I hope, someday, that people can fully appreciate that when Nature responds to pollution in some disturbing way it is not god-but human folly. By the way, just a note for all those 'end-timers,' it's not happening-ever. Humanity will go extinct inevitably and the Earth will go on until another 4-5 billion years when the sun turns into a red giant burning this planet to cinders… that will be the true end. It's Nature people, not god just Mother Nature doing her thing.

nick, there is very clear evidence we evolved over time if you just take the time to do the research, and we don't evolve anymore because evolution must be driven by something.. nothing is challenging our lives to the point that we must adapt and change to survive, because we are on the top of the chain. unfortunately we are slowly destroying ourselves. If you understand the nature of the universe along with the timeline you can see how life is just a matter of probability. Even if it is the smallest of probabilities theres a good chance in something so large as the universe. Also, there are a hell of a lot more galaxies than a billion. a billion is nothing to the universe, just like us. don't bother yourself so much with being afraid of a God that will inevitably smite you. just take the time to enjoy life and appreciate the beauty that arises from chance.
or be a typical religious idiot living life in fear of eternal fire (LOL) your choice!

i agree science wont take us there,But reconnection with the Universe, Mother Earth,and ourselves will. We dont need a saviour we need to take reponsibility for our actions and thoughts and forgive ourselves instead of asking a deity to do it. Its the "Grown-up" thing right? .. thats my point

i agree.. Look up David Wilcock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHDShO_1qo8 heres the proof were evolving brother=)

…Actually, we do need a Savior, His name is Jesus Christ. God created us for Himself, but He didn't want robots…He gave us free will. And some "directions"…the Bible. It is also a History book…and since you like "these" …it is His Story…History. Finding Him isn't hard, you just have to want to. He places the desire in us "to know"…it is up to us to search Him out. Like a relationship! And contrary to what a lot of different "religions" will tell you…He won't force you. That isn't a relationship…we come willingly because we choose to know Him. If you are not looking…you won't find Him. By the way, that "reconnecting with the Universe"…all you will connect with is a bunch of chemicals, gases, stars and planets…nothing very personal…jus sayin…

Stephen: You remember to say that to the GREAT GOD JEHOVAH on judgment day when your standing before him and see him for yourself. You and all the other non Christians be sure you tell him;…YOU DIDN'T CREATE THAT!!!! Only a fool has said in his heart there is no GOD!

Well let me tell you that I was once a christian and I was once a fool. I was once a fool because I believed in a god who was not there. I was a fool who believed in the human soul. It is easy for us to believe in god, it is comforting-but god is not there. There is no god. We are organic beings that evolved through natural selection. If a soul is something that is eternal why is it that we do not remember what comes before our life on this world. There is no soul. There is no heaven and no hell. There is only this life. It is hard to accept the truth, it is easier to believe in god and heaven even though they are not real because they comfort us. In truth though, those things are not real no matter how much we wish to believe or hope they are not true.
Those who consider themselves jehovah's witness believe only 144,000 are going to heaven anyway. All the rest of us are going to burn in hell. Why believe in something like that. Why believe I cannot celebrate my birthday or that of my friends-because my interpretation of an archaic and outdated book tell me so…

Londell Abraham
I have not heard god speak to me, I have not seen god. What evidence is there for god. Further yet, why has god allowed such suffering? Why has he allowed holy wars, crusades, ethnic cleansings, drought, disease, famine, war, and so much else in his name. Where is god, where is he when so many suffer. I ask out of sadness for all of us. I ask out of sadness for this beautiful world humanity is destroying. I ask out of the sincerity of my own heart.

Londell Abraham
I believe Jesus meant well and that He was a teacher and a healer. But what is carried out in His name today is so sad. The westboro baptist church that preaches gays are so evil that they feel they need to protest military funerals due to their allowing of gays into the military-how can a good god allow that. Not everyone in the military is gay or lesbian and to say such things to a family who lost someone that fought for what the united states stands for. How dare they have the audacity to do that!

Yes, of course it's divine retribution. When performing cheap parlor tricks to warn of something incredibly serious and spiritually meaningful, why wouldn't any god start by completely missing the mark (blood? Really? Looks like orange juice to me) on the prophecy, and in a country where his particular religion isn't even close to the majority. Make EVERY bit of sense.

Derp. Honestly.

do all you bible thumpers really believe we only have one life to live? Have any of you looked into any other religion? almost every main book of any religion has an immense amount of similarities to "The Holy Bible" I was raised to believe all this christian crap until one day I opened my eyes and asked the question – "how do we know we are right when there are thousands of other religions out there? Who's to say which religion is the 'right' religion?" Then I realized religion as a whole is just a big joke. Its a way to control people through fear- "do this or a mighty powerful 'god' will send you to eternal death". Sorry but I will not be scared into doing something or believing whatever I'm told. Its very apparent to me that most religious people are simply lost beyond saving.. they create some ridiculous reality based on all this religious blabber. Its sad to see so many lost to these disgusting lies. You want to know what I believe? I believe in the GOD DAMN UNIVERSE. I believe in things that actually happen over a set amount of time. I believe in probability. I do not fear your god. I do not fear your hell. and I'll have a beer with the "devil" any day. Try all you want, but you won't be striking fear into this soul! I embrace death, because with every end comes a new beginning. Life is eternal. You're all living your own personal hells right now. Now go pray for me! send your love to the universe and I will gladly accept it. but don't think its gonna suddenly make me read the bible and apologize for all things I've done.. While you're at it you should ask god for a new car, I'm sure he'll gladly manifest that for you…

Eve was created from Adam's rib. They Had 2 sons; those sons took wives. Where did the wives come from?

Mike, that's a mouth full. You are right in a few things. Life is eternal, and hell who can bear. Remember the titanic challenge"not even God can sink this ship". God is not mocked nor is He like unto any god you may know or worship. In the beginning was God, he made us. You may not fear now like so many others, but i rather wish you did and will do. If you face death you will the resurrected Christ to raise you again to life. We were all born into sin, only God's son was without sin, and for our sin he died. How can i not believe in him and in God who loved me so much.

For the love of…it's CHINA. They're not exactly known for their environmental policies. This is the country that thought it would be a good idea to try to CONTROL THE RAIN. You know, to MANAGE THEIR POLLUTION. The math isn't hard.

::giggles::

i agree with you all the way man

Andre you're repeating words I've heard my whole life growing up.. its the same ol rammer jammer. You sound like a robot made to run the "Convert them" program. You say in the beginning was God, he made us. WERE YOU THERE? did you see this with your own eyes or will you back this up with your "faith" from a man written book? Do you personally know each and every other god there could possibly be to say that YOUR god is better or greater or THE god? How can you sit there and tell me that YOUR god is higher than any god i know or worship? FYI I don't worship any god, I live life for ME. I let my LOVE shine through to the world, unrestricted by any god. The Universe provides for my life as I declare it.
Why would you wish me to fear? what kind of person wants another to FEAR something? thats sick. The whole religion is sick. You've been brainwashed man.. I'm sorry it happened but you still have a choice (and always will). As far as Christ goes.. I'm not gonna deny that he was a real dude back in the day, because he and the thousands of Buddhas were very similar, they unlocked secrets of life and tried to show the world deeper meanings. But Christ being God's ONLY son is as silly of a concept as hell. It simply doesn't add up.
and "sin"… that's just some BS. In that case all christians would burn in "hell" for idolizing a man named Jesus rather than your one true almighty god. funny enough he loves you so much he's giving you an all expenses paid trip to the land of eternal flames where your physical body can burn forever and ever!! What a loving god! When can i meet him!? love to do a cheese and crackers date.
"LOVE ME OR BURN BITCH" -GOD

So, you know a Wiccan or 2? Good for you. I’m not Wiccan. It’s interesting, and offensive, I might add, that you automatically assume I am. I don’t find Wicca offensive, I find your close minded assumption offensive. You resent that I am angered by people “who have a need to pray for others to come around to their way of thinking?” You might resent what I said, but I’ve determined that having my Soul forcibly prayed for is equal to spiritual rape. It’s about being spiritually violated and I take that serious. You’re really going to resent this; I don’t care what your book tells you to do. There are as many interpretations of that book as there are those who claim to follow it. None of you can agree on it-or you do so in small groups-religions. So, that being said; believe your beliefs and practice your practices, just don’t push them off on another. Don’t threaten me with prayers. I can and do repel that crap and really don’t care if you judge me for it or not. Your haughty judgment falls back on you, not me. I too have many friends and family of various cultures and spiritual practices-mostly Christian of some branch or another. If we have different viewpoints we don’t run off to whisper to our deities in hopes of changing the others beliefs. No one is knocking on doors, lighting candles or saying words to change the others viewpoint. We just manage to get along and enjoy each others differences.

Im no sure if you are reading anything else but your coments miss lady But the bible has NO VALIDITY.You say Jesus is "God" in human form, some say Jesu is "God" ,Some say "God" sent his son jesus here on a mission. Why are you people so gullible to your own story which makes no sense. Theres no eed to SEARCH for "God" because its inside you and all around you Justike the Dead Sea Scrolls say. If you would actually look up the REAL facts behind religion instead of reading just a book or watching a video or 2 thinking you have backround information in it you would see your still following blindly with alot of disinformation. You people put all your power into "God"instead of putting the power into yourself. Al you downgrade yourself so much to a higher being. If we are created from "God" wouldnt the make u "Godly" aswell. think about that…..Plus religious people have more questions than answers so that should show you theres no validity anywhere in religion.You rather be bllnd to reality and live a fantasy where someone HAS to take care of you and watch you like a child. smh WAKE UP!!!!

I'm a Christian but no way does this have anything to do with Biblical stuff, I think it's all pollution because if it were Biblical it would not be just one river, it would be all of them.

Nick, you may be correct, and my views may be wrong, but lets all live our own lives and travel our own paths.

Lindsey, I thought that happened back in December and that this time it was pollution from another source ?, maybe I'm wrong and read the article wrong, but I'm siding with you, its either Pollution or some sort of Natural event like Red algae like that have found in the Ocean many times before.

no read my other comment, I already clarified I had misread the article as I was reading it because I hadn't had any coffee yet. To further clarify I had been up since 5am so that didn't help either I only realized after it was pointed out on the first comment.
I just think it's dumb to assume that this is an act of God trying to send us a message. Think about it like this. Imagine if had a meteor shower that tons of unknown metals suddenly fell to the earth at magnetic north and scientists found the explanation had to do with a recent crash between two meteors that crashed close enough to earth that the metal fragments were pulled into earths gravity and just happened to be attracted to magnetic north, thus landing magnetic north. Say this happened 20 years ago. Now imagine this happened again, a bunch of unknown metal rocks fell magnetic north. This time however scientist cannot find the meteor crash that happened in space. Would it then be a logical conclusion to assume that aliens are trying to contact us? I admit I believe that the universe is just too vast for our planet to be the only planet out there that contains life. I admit that I believe that it's possible that there is intelligent life out there, and we may someday be contacted by them, but that doesn't mean that it is any more logical to believe that the river turned red via super natural means than it would be to assume aliens are contacting us under the circumstances I described. Therefore when a river turns red in a country, where rivers have turned red before due to natural means, why do people jump to the conclusion it's doing so via super natural means now? Why was the super natural argument being considered seriously? If God wants to send us a message, wouldn't it make more sense to turn water red worldwide at a rapid rate? At least then a supernatural argument would have some merit.

Debbie McCoy Shhhh….

1 Timothy 2:12

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.

Harry Potter sold more books than the Bible…

It's sad really to see so many try to explain away God and in the process explain away their own eternity.

I saw this on the news the yesterday…

I hope you realised after you push the enter button on this comment how ignorant you sounded to say that! Here's a few FACTS for you MARY!
Since the release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on 30 June 1997, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide.[2] The series has also had some share of criticism, including concern for the increasingly dark tone. As of June 2011, the book series has sold about 450 million copies, making it the best-selling books series in history and has been translated into 67 languages,[3][4] and the last four books consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history.

How many copies of the Bible are sold a year?
Almost impossible to say with any degree of accuracy. Easily over 100 million per year, though many are sold in batches to be given away, with the end consumer paying nothing.

How many bibles have been sold worldwide? There's no way of knowing for sure as many copies have been printed and smuggled into countries where it is illegal to own or possess a Bible. Most recent calculations estimate around 6 billion…
This bible is 66 books in one, not a series! and it been translated in more than, well just take a look for yourself!
Bible translations, worldwide (as of 2011)[42]Number Statistic 6,800 Approximate number of languages spoken in the world today1,500Number of translations into new languages currently in progress1,223Number of languages with a translation of the New Testament 471 Number of languages with a translation of the Bible.
So you can only imagine how many have been sold that has not been calculated. Hope your woman enough to admit when your wrong Mary, and if your wrong about this foolish statement I can only imagine how many other things your wrong about! Please get you FACTS first! Oh and one more FACT for you, GOD LOVES YOU and so do I In JESUS name, AMEN!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

Oh wow.LMFAO!Show me God Debbie,where is he?How does he looks like?He didn't do anything for me I prayed for as long as I believed in him!There is NO God-oh what did I say I evil person,no Thunder and Lightning?Hm…If there would be one why is he creating so much evil things,why does he lets the Japans kill his'children'in such brutal way with no need for?Have you seen anything about evolution or have you just read the Bible to know where life comes from?Funny is they teach about God AND Evolution in schools but doesn't fit together in my opinion.There is only one way:a tree grew out of the soil or is 'made'.PERIOD.This continent is living in the past…

Bahahahaha

Pfff…right,everyone has believes and that is respected as long as noone is pushing someone into a certain believe,everyone has to choose for himself.I do have believes too but for sure not anymore in as it is called GOD…Debbie shall show him and I consider him as a believe…

No arguement there my brother=) Namaste

Londell Abraham hahahaha You dont know whats going to happen when you die. So stop selling/giving yourself certainty smh -_-

Didn't something like this happen before? Wasn't it just one of several happenings at the time aimed at pointing out the error of their ways?

I was raised Catholic… But I am pagan now. I am happy with my current beliefs and feel that this is the life path I am meant to be on. If you are christian, I don't care, everyone has the freedom to believe in what they wish. We should be striving for tolerance and peace rather than harsh judgement which only leads to fighting.
Blessed Be )O(

sure as long as noone tries to push others into a certain religion;)

Absolutely. There is a reason why it is called free will. People have to educate themselves on what beliefs they wish to follow and have to find the answers for themselves. The moment we force our religious beliefs on others we wreck the purpose of belief because belief is an internal phenomenon.

I understand the whole tolerance thing, but it's foundation has no strength behind it! If all we did was tolerate people, where is the Love? Toleration just means we put up with eachothers crap because we have too! I believe in the Love of GOD and for my neighbor and you my friend are on this planet and that means you to are my neighbor. Yes we all are welcome to believe in whatever we wish to, but reguardless have to accept there is a final answer of whats right and whats wrong, You didn't go to college to get the wrong answers did you? of course not! so why isn't it imprtant enought to seek the absolute truth?, and please don't tell there is no absolute truth, if thats the case 2+2 is not 4, because I said so and don't want it to be! Doesn't that sound stupid? So we have to know, WHAT IS THIS LIFE ALL ABOUT, WHAT IS (it/LIFE) all about? I'll show you, keep you heart and understanding open! I ask you from one human to another and with the ( TOLERANCE ) you speak about, please view this video without scoffing and mockery, thanks and GOD BLESS!!!!
A year ago GOD gave me the simple answer TO THE MOST ASKED QUESTION IN THE HEARTS OF MEN. So with GOD'S leading, I found the Man to help me create and bring THE ANSWER to Youtube, And that man is Mitch Salmon, Creator and Narrator!You know You have asked! This LIFE!!!! What is ( IT ) all about?The answer is in the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we1yxjeWgbY Please read the video description below the video as well.

well if this god loving people here would be so loveable to others as they claim why are they bully my kid in school for things which are not his fault and tries to satisfy them and being racist in cause of his heritage?

Nick Kirby: I'll try and be by your side when you try and tell me that on judgment day!

Rosi Gruttner Like Mr.Stephen said; Tolerate IT! NOW DOESN'T THAT REALLY SOUND STUPID? If your not doing something to keep your own kid from being bullied, IT'S ( YOUR ) FAULT!!!! Teach him to defend himself or you better trust GOD to defend him, But then again you can't do that if you refuse to believe in him!!!! GOD gave you life and he died for you as JESUS CHRIST to save you from hell, untill you accept that and choose to live for HIM, He OWES YOU NOTHING! GIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE ME, GOD GAVE YOU ALL YOU COULD EVER WANT INCLUDING YOUR KID!!!! Now if your will to give all you have to GOD, I have no doubt in my mind GOD will take great care of you, and I tell you this from personal experience! Instead of kicking GOD in the teeth everytime you turn around, try GIVING your life to him for a change and watch what he will do for YOU!!!! Until then all you will ever do is make stupid excuses for why things go wrong, and certianly take no resposibility for your own foolishness!

you're such an ass!guess what,all teaching how to deal with it and stand up for himself,be kind to others doesn't bring anything as he goes after the rules in school and the others don't but bringing those in trouble who does.teachers doesn't care.tell me,if i would strong believe in him,would never have giving that up and my kid would be still bullied because he's different and to kind is it happening then for a reason and nobody's fault?so,everything what goes wrong in someone's life doesn't if in mine or your's or whoever's it's their own fault because everybody has to keep 'their personal space'?e.a.if my kid is being bullied it's his fault by not being normal or mine because of not telling him to fight back and get in trouble with school…i just laugh about it,good that we talked about it…biblebelt…don't reply i just puke…

When we are referring to tolerance as in religious or ethnic tolerance we mean we are accepting of the other persons beliefs or ethnicity. We don't just 'tolerate' it because we have to, we do it out of mutual respect and understanding. Taking what I wrote about tolerance and twisting it to fit bullying has nothing to do with religious or ethnic tolerance. Bullying is cruel and the exact opposite of tolerance. Love is unconditional compassion and when you have compassion for someone you understand them. If you don't understand them, you try to. Understanding is the root of tolerance and of love. Ignorance which is not understanding someone leads to fear. That fear grows and leads to anger. Anger explodes into hatred. Therefore ignorance is the root of hate. Furthermore how can you love fully, that which you do not know or understand.
Londell Abraham, I have read the bible. I was confirmed a catholic and believed very much in christianity then I read the bible-really read it. The bible, especially in the old testament gives laws like, for example killing homosexuals. These laws also tell the ancient israelites to kill children who curse (mouth-off) to their parents. These laws tell them to kill adulterers. How can anyone describe that as 'inspired' by god or the literal 'word of god.' That is terrible! Not to mention the book contradicts itself because one of the ten commandments is 'thou shalt not kill.'
Another fact, and this is a fact, you can ask any historian this-the book of genesis in the bible is based off of the ancient babylonian story known as the epic of gilgamesh. The snake that converses with eve is actually the babylonian goddess tiamat who is often depicted as a serpent by the ancient babylonians. She of course, was later epitomized as the devil by christians and israelites. Even the story of the flood is from older, pagan babylonian texts.
The virgin mary is heavily influenced and based upon the archetype of the virgin goddess from ancient greek and roman times. Jesus is heavily influenced by and based upon the fertility god who dies to bring fertility to the earth each year then is 'reborn' of the virginal goddess to start the annual cycle again, and again. This story is also originally roman and greek. I am not making any of this up. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all heavily influence and based upon paganism.
The idea of the trinity for instance was based upon mother, maiden, and crone. This forms the old celtic trinity which predates christian europe by thousands of years. Hinduism also has a trinity that predates christianity. The placement of christmas and easter is based upon the old pagan holidays that took place on the equinoxes and solstices.
Whether or not you believe any of what I tell you (which is historically proven and is backed up by solid evidence) is not what I am so concerned about, but rather you don't do the deep research into the origin or actual meaning behind your faith. That leads to ignorance and ignorance leads to fear. Fear explodes into anger. Anger violently becomes hate. You have to be true to yourself above all else and not blindly follow something or someone. Look what happened in Germany when the german people blindly followed hitler. Look at what happened during the crusades, or the inquisition. Many innocent people died because they blindly followed others. They did not question their values or beliefs. They also did not want to take the path of understanding that leads to tolerance, love, and peace.

i used that as an example and questioned it because of londell's talk about love for god AND neighbor so love the next to you…if everybody would love the next to him it wouldn't such a mean world…

I couldn't agree more. Sadly, some people like Londell, develop a warped sense of their religious beliefs as if there is only one 'true' way to live life. That leads them to think in absolute terms of everything being black and white. This is an over-simplification of life and of human actions. That leads to insensitivity which Londell expressed in the post about bullying.

Man, you Christians must feel pretty dumb after being all up in arms about the end of times, when it was just a case of human error. For that you get my pity clap

It was a joke Londell Abraham…I have no clue how many books Harry Potter sold…I've never read one…as for your god loving me, maybe he does…I have no problem with him at all…I do know your Jesus as a divine Master and talk with him often…I am not however a christian…I am a spiritual adventurer…I do not love you in the name of anyone, I don't hate you, I don't like you…I am indifferent…you have the right to think, believe, pray or whatever however you want. I respect and support your right to do so…
and as for your love, save it for someone who wants and needs it, I don't on both counts.

i understand why you would believe that, But look into David Wilcock,His lectures, and his books will show you the proof we are once again evolving.DNA upgrade if you will. Then he will lead you to other sources of information if you havent already discovered them yet. Hope you you find whatyou need brother. Plus every person has a piece of the puzzle. Bill Cooper said, "Don't believe anything you hear, until you can prove it with your own research."

Londell Abraham Im glad you can google facts, copy and paste and then post it as if you already knew that information trying to prove a point that was already obvious.. Anyone with a quarter of a brain can tell that wasnt meant to taken serious -_-

Of course I googled that, what you think I just keep those numbers handy? No had to look a little, put forth the effort, which wouldn't kill you to do with the BIBLE, but you'll probably say " I've read the bible i know what it says, it contradicts it's self to much" am i right or what? Nick I love your sarcasim, it's people like you that GOD sends me to. I came to this page just to view a picture and found that the Lord had a purpose for me to be here and you and those that think like you are that reason! Believe me I DIDN'T GOOGLE THAT!!!!

You get 'em Coasey

Londell Abraham you said "Nick Kirby: I'll try and be by your side when you try and tell me that on judgment day! " Theres no judgement day because heaven isn't a court room=P If your tellin me its a court room up there, i dont want to seek your "God" plain and simple.

Nick, I'm all done with this conversation because it's going nowhere…we're all evil and this is just another sign of some crap to come…in reality someone filled this river with something nasty that caused it to turn red…I know the bible better than most who claim to follow it…And that's not because I "read" it once..I read it, studied it, memorized it…then walked away from it's misogynistic, patriarchal fallacies when I woke up and realized what it was all about. It was nothing more than man's way to control and degrade others. No wonder the world is falling apart. I wish you well Nick…Namaste

Londell Abraham believe me, i claimed Christianity when i was closed minded and ignorant to facts a long time ago. Every religious person has that feeling that something isn't right with it.That soon became curiosity which lead me to the information i have today.. Remember the truth always comes out and us human beings haven't found it yet.

Nick: I Keep my head bowed praying for you, do yourself a favor and go look up Louis GIGLIO on LAMININ, It's a video on youtube! Watch a few of them Mr. Science!

Mary Vodvark Just have to let the live and die with their silly beliefs not much else to do.. Wish the best for you aswell Mary =) Namaste

Satan…the scapegoat of the masses! What a great way of avoiding personal responsibility! I can go out there and be a jerk, blame it on Satan, say some words and viola, it's all good. Good one…

I don't believe you! What I do believe is that you just don't like rules, and you don't like the fact that committing to GOD will not allow you to have the freedom to sin like the devil. I believe you are well read and learned, but I can see your so smart in your own way of thinking, that you can't see the simplicity of what and why we are even alive. Your not happy unless you complex everything. GOD in himself is complex, but not to us if we are willing to seek his wisdom, knowledge and understanding! We don't have and can not have the ability to understand GOD in his full measure. But we do have the ability to use common sence to know GOD created all we know for our well being and so that we could have a persona; relationship with him!!!!

The verse you quote fall under the WRATH of GOD, which speak about the Mark of the Beast, is it that the whole Nation of China is living with the Mark of the Beast and worshipping his image? You see you cannot use a verse to substantiate what have happened in China. What the authorities need to do is find out why was it done. The turning of the water into Blood is to judge for the Saints and Prophets that were killed. So which prophet or saint that was killed in China which have someone using Revelation 16 in their own way. There are many persons who will use this activity as SIGN and WONDER. But know that when the Lord Jesus Christ is JUDGING, He send messages out first WARNING then He strike. Hugs and Blessings.

False christ…

I rather believe in what the bible tells me, and don't loose anything… Than not believing and loose it all

Was it even blood? I wouldent jump to conclusions until they get results.

I stand on it and Will Die for it ……I did not ask for opinions just stated a fact. that is my reality. if it is not yours too bad for you. I do not know you nor do I value your opinion.

No your wrong. Science is GOD. I'm so tired of euros thinking they know something they've spent ages watering down so they can digest it.

I am a Christian and I know the day of God's wrath is coming soon.
