Debunking doomsday: 6 rumors dispelled

From the Mayan calendar and a runaway planet called "Nibiru," from killer asteroids and theories about galactic alignments: The internet is full of talk about the world ending on December 21.

NASA scientists recently addressed some of the most pervasive of these rumors around the dubious date. Take a look:

Mayan calendar
The Mayan calendar began somewhere around 3,114 years before the current era, and is set to end on December 21 or 23 (depending on the translation). NASA scientist Mitzi Adams describes what the Mayans would have done had their civilization lasted and why there is no cause for alarm.



Runaway planet
Is an ancient Sumerian planet called "Nibiru" on a collision course with Earth? NASA scientist David Morrison explains how you can dispel this rumor all by yourself.

Galactic alignment
Will the Earth, Sun and center of the Milky Way line up in December?  Yes!  But as three astronomers explain, it happens every December and is not a sign of doomsday.

Solar apocalypse
Like any other star, the sun will eventually use up its hydrogen core, expand and engulf the Earth.  But don't rush out to buy Red Giant insurance for your home by December 21 - you have about 5 BILLION years to prepare. Two NASA scientists explain.

Killer asteroid
There is a real, long-term concern about possible asteroid impacts, and that's why NASA has been scanning the heavens, cataloging them for nearly 20 years.  And as two NASA scientists will tell you, not a single object has been found that's on a collision course with Earth.

Polar shift
One internet rumor about the world ending on December 21 is that the Earth will shift on its axis.  Astronomer Andrew Fraknoi explains how it's just not possible to change the way our planet rotates in a single day.

More
- The Maya collapsed. Could we?

- Be honest: Apocalypse kinda exciting?

    Interesting and Unexpected 12/21/2012 Scenario ..... No solar flares or meteors for NASA to laugh about .. just unanticipated waves of multiple massive Earthquakes that rock the West Coast .....with California, Oregon & Washington State sliding into the gurgling maw of the Pacific ... with Idaho, Nevada, parts of Utah and Arizona now bordering the Pacific Ocean ..... At the very same time .. A Massive New Madrid earthquake takes out Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio leaving a 200 miles watery gap which would now be known as the really wide Mississippi River from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico .. and lastly .... another unexpected series of massive earthquakes occur around the Central Virginia Seismic Zone .... which completely destroys Washington, DC .... then runs straight up to Philadelphia ... takes them out ..... then unexpectedly turns towards New York City and levels it and then, again unexpectedly .... heads straight up North ....and drives throughout all of New England ..... being particularly devastating in what is left of Massachusetts ..... The New Capital of the Western United States is located in Utah ... The New Capital of the Eastern United States is in Georgia .. Blue States now only remain in history books .... Camera ... Action !

        "a runaway planet called "Nibiru colliding with Earth..."

        Here again is a prime example of Fareed Zacharia spewing erroneous information. If one takes the time to properly research what one is being paid by CNN to spew about (I thought they hired Zacharia to make us all feel warm and cozy about the Middle East), one would know that Nibiru, referenced in the Sumerian creation myth, never collided with Earth.

        According to the Sumerians, Nibiru is on a highly elliptical orbit that brings it near Earth every 7500 years or so, and the inhabitants of Nibiru, the Ananacki, use that opportunity to come to Earth to mine gold.

        In fact, the Sumerians believed that the human race was cloned by Ananacki to mine the gold for them. Zacharia should read Zecharia Sitchin's "The Twelfth Planet" before dabbling in ancient myths of which he obviously knows nothing...

        @papa: if their were any other planets beyond pluto it couldn't support life, so no aliens coming for your gold. lmfao
        second: if there was any planet out there of enough size to impact the earth we would see a shift in our stars wabble as it moved toward the inner planets along with the effects it's mass would have on other planets orbits.
        third: as massive as jupiter is, anything large enough to harm earth from the outer regions of out solar system would be drawn into jupiter and crushed.

      "Jack" is the perfect exemplar of what is wrong with our country. His is a blatant dismissal of science, logic, and basic good sense backed, no doubt, by a religious and political extremism that rejects reality completely.

      He and his type are destroying America. He and his ilk are the reason that we are failing and falling in the world.

      May God have mercy on America for we are doomed because of "Jack" and his like.

      "just unanticipated waves of multiple massive Earthquakes that rock the West Coast"

      But they can't -be- unanticipated! You're anticipating them right now! How can you anticipate something being unanticipated? You can't, that's how! Now they're just boring *anticipated* earthquakes, and you've ruined it for everyone! I hope you're happy, anticipation-ruiner! Now when the earthquakes strike I'm just gonna be like, "Welp, saw that coming" and then a big beam will fall on my head or something and my last moments will have been ones of boredom instead of shock and terror! Did you consider that before you started in on your reckless anticipation? What ELSE are you anticipating, anyway? Want to clue us in on that so you can ruin even MORE things for us? Stock crash? Camry actually got good crash test results? Morgan Freeman and Spike Lee to co-star in a romantic comedy? Why not get it all over with now, you – you – ANTICIPATION KILLER!

      While intriguing and thought out, if not particularly well, earthquakes of that magnitude would devastate the entire continent, not just select US states. So if you want Georgia and Utah to become the new capitals of the US then I'd suggest praying it doesn't happen.

      third, OP im sure if i was american i would find this joke good, but as i am not im just not getting it.

No transcendental enlightenment and no hell fire and brimstone, no massive earthquakes or asteroid. Ok we still have 7 hours of the day left. See you all tomorrow.

      Interesting, ALL based on major fault lines in America; the question is when. I am more worried about the years 2013 -2015; why? Jesus said in Matthew 24 of the bible about the end of days and signs to watch for "But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.".

      NASA has confirmed four lunar eclipses (moon becomes red) will occur on God’s annual Holy Days during Passover and Sukkot in the years 2014 and 2015, and two solar eclipses (sun will be darkened) on Nisan 1 and the Feast of Trumpets in those years!

        Marita and Hugh, just because someone thinks that blue states will be wiped out by NATURAL disasters, doesn't mean that they hate blue states. If Jack hated liberals, he wouldn't give them any warning at all and just let them perish. But I DO think that those who see hate under every rock and behind every tree may well be closet haters themselves. By the way, I don't think that anything unusual is going to happen on 12/21/12.

      A bad thing that could naturally happen to our planet is an asteroid hit. If it does happen, obviously the folks within the blast radius are dead. The rest of the planet will be fine ... except for the loss of the sun for a minimum of 2 months to as long as two years. Unfortunately during this time a chain reaction will take place – the plants will die -> the animals that eat the plants will die -> the animals that eat the animals will die. Obviously humans will be fine since we can easily store enough food to last however long. But get used to being a Vegetarian for a while :)

    You have all been lied to. Every conspiracy theory about 2012 is false. So here is what will really happen.

    On 12/21/2012 at precisely 11:11 PM a huge rift will open up in between dimensions. When this rift opens out of it will step every imaginary character every concieved from brave Odysseus to Superman. Now before you think this is "cool" let's not forget the other side of the coin. Humanity will continue to exist for approximately 58 minutes after the Imaginary Universe comes into existence. At the stroke of Midnight USest Mickey Mouse will storm the Magic Kingdom with his terrible facist army of Stormtroopers, Pac Men, and Klingons. The minute Dictator Mouse sits on the Disney throne all of humanity will immediately vanish from the face of the Earth.

    Humankind will become entirely imaginary and the Imaginary Characters will become fully real. Humanity will then proceed to be written about and used in movies and video games which will get worse and worse as years go by and the Imaginary People develop better special effects. As special effects become more important with each passing decade Humanity now turned imaginary will begin to lose its plot and purpose gradually until it becomes entirely pointless and stupid. Nothing can be done to stop this, so you cannot prepare for it. The government has known about this for year and in exchange for keeping us in the dark will be the subject of future blockbusters.

Alas, if it's the end of the world they are seeking to support their religious nonsense, they'll be so sadly disappointed. They'll of course change their minds on what date it will be and make more and more excuses why they failed, just like Pat Robertson and the presidential election.

    It's rather like watching cranky three year olds when all of the "end times" nonsense comes out and some Christians get off on threatening anyone who dares disagree with them.

What else can we educated people of the planet do when faced with all of the fear about the Mayan calendar? I think that mocking it in a way quite satirical epitomizes the foolishness of the whole thing. But that's just my opinion; yours may vary, regardless of how misinformed it may be.

    If, and I mean a BIG if, something happens, it will be man-made. You have millions/billions of people of all faiths believing doomsday is approaching. That we are entering "End Times". Some of these people are in positions of power and control. They want "End Times"; their 'savior' will come back. What better way to bring Him back than light the fuse that brings about doomsday? If not this made-up date, another one will follow. Too many people who believes this stuff for it to not someday happen...

    Of a polar shift is possible since it already happened some 77,000 years ago and it could happen in as little as 18 to 36 hours. This doesn't mean that it will, but it is possible!

      First off, the "polar shift" you refer to is actually a swap of the MAGNETIC poles, not the AXIS. Magnetic shifts do happen fairly regularly, the 77,000 years you state sounds about right. However, the shift does not happen as quickly as you state and is proceeded by an extended period of magnetic field lines "snapping" ... which we have not seen. So I think we're safe ...

    One thing that isn't mentioned in this article is what would happen if we got hit by a massive solar flare? It probably won't happen tomorrow but it is something that we should be very concerned about. It will happen eventually (and not in the far, far future). We have no protection from such an event. We could lose our satellites and most of the electrical grid which would take months to years to fix due to critical components not being available. This would result in mass starvation, riots and chaos.

    Christians who know the Bible should know not to try to predict the end of the world..we were never given a timeline and it says not to try to guess. Im neither a Donkey or Elephant and both sides have their issues. People should be free to make their own choices which has been a Republican issue, but not handed every single little thing like the Democrats do. I dont like paying taxes so other people live off of me. I like the medical program, wish it was more intensive. Maybe take a page off the Canadians for a change. There is too much venom on both sides and if it keeps going the posioning of our society will have no antidote. God Bless everyone even those who dont believe

    Whether the world ends on Dec 21st, during or after Armageddon, or finally with the death of our star should not affect how we live our lives today. If you want to spend today fighting, laughing, loving, hating, stealing or giving then thats what you should do. But with each of those actions are consequences, sometimes those consequences are from the people around you and sometimes they are from within. Choose actions that provide consequences you desire.

    The Mayan calendar does not predict the end of the world. The Mayan elders speak of a new era based on love and compassion rather than violence, power and greed. Most people are gathering with the desire and intention of creating this future, which I think is what most people want for themselves and their children. It would be nice if the news media would report on this rather than the ridiculous.

    Its probably not the end of the world. The universe is larger and vaster than we can even comprehend. I have a theory that the universe is like a giant globe but we live on the inside of it and its inside edges are like mirrors. The distances are so vast (light years) that we will never be able to travel them due to laws of physics as yet uncovered. So when we look at galaxies and stars and planets in other systems what we really see is our own galaxy stars and planets in stages of development. This is why there are no extra terrestrials or signals. We are looking at a finite number of celestial bodies (within our reach) and their reflections of past light? What lies beyond my sphere of influence universe? God? The Forbidden Zone? An alternate universe? Antimatter? We may never know.

Although, Sarah Palin will probably consider it a liberal opportunity to ignore her, the universe has its own plans. There are many dimensions postulated that we may not be considering that will be destroyed tomorrow, so be optimistic. At least for my refrigerator, the end of the world is tomorrow; sometime between 8 and 12 when a new one gets delivered.

    I think its pretty stupid to make people believe that just because you dont see it coming toward us, that it wont come. maybe it will come so fast at such speed that it could take only 30min to hit the earth...

      An asteroid out of a Black Hole? Are you nucking futz? Only Romulan starships can come out of a Black Hole. Everyone knows that!

      But seriously, it is apparent that you know the term but not the physics. The Black Hole, per se, is a singularity, a point of infinite mass (hence, gravity); it is the EVENT HORIZON that many think of as the Black Hole. The Event Horizon is that radius about the singularity where the gravity well is so steep that not even light, travelling at 186,000 miles PER SECOND, cannot escape.

    Monument 6 at Torturego explains that how, on Dec 21 2012, the Mayan god Bolon Yokte descends to the earth. What that means and if its physical, I don't know. But the god Bolon Yokte is present during world creation events, and was recorded to be there on the last creation which was in 3114 bc.

    Other theories point to a 3 days of darkness period beginning on the 21st.

    I find it amusing that scientists think that just because they can "measure" certain things in the cosmos that it means to them that somehow the events are going to unfold as they predict. Science ends up being wrong 99% of the time anyway. They are just really good at covering up the mistakes and promoting the events they think they have correct (which later end up being wrong most of the time anyway.)

    In short, scientists are just as ignorant as everyone else. They are just better at covering up their ignorance through Greek and Latin based words.

      Let me guess RSM: I suspect you are one of those Jesus Freaks who is mad at scientists because of Darwin's theory of Evolution. Bingo!

    Their description of what the significance of the galactic alignment is inaccurate. What the mayans based the long count calendar on happens on every 26000 years. It has to do with the way the earth wobbles and the effect of how you see the starts in the sky. Personally I don't think anything is going to happen, but give the Mayans props for looking at the stars more accurately than CNN's experts.

    @Archyle The Mayans NEVER predict the world would end. The calendar only resets. NO ONE (You sound like the Mayans have complete control) can ever predict the exact time the world would end since every time zone is different. Even if there is an exact time the world will end, the time has to be by the International Date Line.

    Since people are so fascinated by the "End of the World" and try to figure it will end by every myth, ancient culture, Nostradamus, religious, computer programs or whatever else they can to explain the "End of Times"-someone really needs to educate the masses! The simple truth is 'yes' it will end; however, not tomorrow. Try 4.5 to 5 Billion years down the road from now. Our Sun will consume all of its remaining fuel...(BTW: the Sun is mostly composed of Hydrogen and Helium.) at that point in time, our Sun will start to expand and slowly start to heat up and burn our poor planet Earth into a ball of embers. It is for our future ancestors to come up with a plan to 'pack up and move' from our dearly beloved planet Earth to find new accommodations. With the nearest Star 'Proxima Centauri' being 4.2 light-years away from our Sun; our future ancestors challenge to find a hospitable new home will be as immense as the Universe! (BTW: Light travels at 186,000 miles per second; 671 million miles per hour!) With light taking 8 minutes, 19 seconds to travel from our Sun to Earth. The challenge would be to build the ultimate 'Noah's Ark' which could withstand contingencies travelling at the speed of light-(ie travelling at such speeds, a grain of sand would tear completely through our future ancestors 'Noah's Ark') ;however, with the rate of technological advances over the past twentieth (20th) Century and going from grounded on Earth to flying in the air and with other awesome steps forward for 'Humankind' one can only remain very hopeful and very optimistic about our future ancestor's travel plans! So do not worry my friends about the end of the World tomorrow for I expect fair winds and Sunlight coming up over that Mountain in the morning! `jo~

It is with great scientific research to conclude that today, December 21 2012, Jesus will rise again. Like every December, the moon, the Earth and the Milky Way Galaxies will line up and create a doorway between our worlds and all the others out there and Jesus will walk through the door and make himself known. Tomorrow the Year will be 0001 again and the worst will happen on the 13th of days of the 13th month. Beware evil eas born January 13 1983.

    It is utterly amazing to me that people will get all wound up over this so called prophecy which means absolutely nothing and yet ignore or make fun of the real and devastating prophecies about to take place! The horror about to hit this planet and every living thing on it will happen the morning you all wake up and millions of people all over the globe are mysteriously missing! You want to talk about cataclysmic events? A leader in Europe will rise and create world peace. He will be loved by everyone, yet no one will know him! Kind of like Obama. He will be a master Orator. The moment he signs a 7 year peace agreement with Israel, you have 7 years left in human history! Most people have no clue this is going to take place or refuse to believe it, but, it’s going to happen, and happen soon. You can laugh and make fun of all you want, just remember, when the TV, Internet, Radio and every other communication devise is panic stricken with the news about these millions of missing people and you are still here? You won’t be laughing any longer! You may even have your own family members missing. The chances of you surviving the next 7 years, especially the last 3 1/2 years? 99% you won’t. It’s going to be that bad. If the unnatural "natural" disasters don’t kill you, the new wicked world power and its disguised demon hosts will. You might want to think about what you should do to escape this horrible time that is coming, because yes, there is a way out, a way in which you don’t have to die or be tortured and then beheaded this way. The answer is in the bible, the book of John, chapter 3 verses 16 thru 18. Read it. Once you read it, you have no excuse; you need to make a decision. Yes or no, it’s your choice. You choose to live or die, it’s all on you and only you. Think about it, but don’t wait too long, we never know when the door is going to close, but it will be sooner than you might think! How do we know this? Because of the bible prophecies in one hand and a newspaper in the other. It cant get more plain, even to the unbeliever. Look for yourself, read for yourself, we dont have much longer, dont wait. Ask God to open your eyes and reveal the real truth, He will.

      To say that obama has made the world a better place or is peaceful is just fallacy. The guy has not done anything....Thats the problem! Im not a fan of Obama. For many reasons though, but hey with all his issues that he is having to go through maybe that is alimently stopping him from doing something stupid. Also there are many interpeatations of where the Anti is suposto come. Some Say Syria. Check out the Dead Sea Scrolls. Or Revalations. But frankly all people who want power, or athorative posistions and do not use it for the service of sacred holy understandings in other words God. Are technically all potentail Anti Christ. If you actually read scipture God is very explainitory of what he believes as rightous. Or serving Gods will and alitmently doing Good. Hate violience, distruction. Aragonce , Ingorance, Pocrastination, Lieing , Deciving and so much more are elements of the ANTI. Because technically its opiset of God. The devil has always wanted us to Avoid worship. Avoid holyness. So too must we aovid Him in reply. In scipture/ Bible you understand exactly were to find Jesus and to indentfy him. And how to Identfy the oppiset We can see the characteristic of the devil. aka EVIL as the name shows In the Gospels. When Jesus was being tempted shortly after baptism.
      This is greate because it gives un an understanding of what the Devil is looking for. And how we should avoid him.
      But alitmently you too are the factor of FEAR.....Because alitmently you are saying the world is coming to end and how there is no hope afterwords. What a load of crock! If you are truely someone whom has been educated in the bible and a believer of that path. Then you should also have realized that alitmently GOD will not stand for it. And that Jesus will return. There will be 1000 years of peace. The tribes of israel will return, however you believe that to be. And that Gods truth will rule always. That is the main goal! In other words there is most certainly a happy ending to the story. Apprently you decided to leave that out! Read revalation The last three paragraphs.

    The end of the world means the day "you" die marks the end of "Your" world . . .You don’t need prophesy, a Book, a PC or a religious nut case to tell you the world is going to end and the Rapture is here. When you die then that is “the day” your world ends plan and simple. How many times have we supposed to have died by now? 10 that I can think of and that goes back to when the Spacelab back in the 80’s was to fall out of the sky and dive into the ocean, the Y2K Bug, The Rapture, Mayan it’s all Bull... OMG We are going to die,, BS, when you pass, that is the day “your world ends” for all those who went out and stocked up on food, battery’s, water, GAS MASKs and bullets for that “Just in case “ happening happens, so to have wasted all that money, but think of it this way, you can use all the Batteries on your kids gifts from Santa (Thank goodness you didn’t die, think of all the money you have lost if you did) and the extra food and water put it all out for your guest that come over for the holidays.

      Thats not true, the day "YOU" die, the day you take YOUR last breath on this earth is the day you take your first breath in eternity! You will spend that eternity in one of two places, Heaven or Hell. God did not create hell for people, He created it for the devil and his angels or demons. Why do you think Jesus left heaven and came to this earth to ultimately pay the price YOU and I owe for our sin problem? To save you from ending up in hell. God loves you so much that Jesus was willing to lay down His life so you wouldnt have to. Im talking about the second death not the first. The first is the natural death, the death of our natural bodies. The second death is the death of your soul. Your soul never dies. God is eternal and he created each one of us eternal and uniquely different. When He talks about life and death, He is talking about our eternal life and death. Life being in heaven and eternal death being in hell. You will be fully conscious and your senses at a much higher state in both places. The book of Revelation was written because its a fortelling of future events. Why would God be concerned with telling us about future events? As a warning. We tell our kids "dont touch that its hot!" Why? Because we are mean parents? No, because we are waring them of impending danger. You have a chioce right now while you are alive, a choice to spend your eternity in one of these two places. Just from a human common sense approach, which would you choose? Heaven or Hell?

    Honestly, I'm a little disappointed the world didn't end today. I guess we'll have to destroy it ourselves. Oh, wait....

    We better know God is great! all these years of people predicting the end of the world over time and we are still here. I am listening to Prophet Jesus p.b.u.h. " No man no not even the angels know when the world will end"

      Actually they do Gary, they dont know when Jesus will call His people up in the Rapture. Once the Rapture takes place, it will probably take months for the world to somewhat stabilize. Its when Antichrist signs the peace treaty with Israel, you can count the days till the end at that point, exactly 7 years. Thing is, you dont want to be left behind!

    I'm not sure what is more funny: the idea of the 'end of the earth', or a bunch of bloggers on here that cannot tell when other bloggers are joking (i.e Jack).

    Thank you, religious people, for sharing your opinions about eternity and God.
    And thank you, non-religious people, for telling us about science and death.

    It is great that Americans can share their personal opinions. Obviously, none of us will ever know any of these answers.

    Just realize you are expressing your own opinion – no different than a Red Sox fan saying "Boston is the best city", and a Yankee fan answering "No, New York is the right city".

      SLY,
      Its not my opinion, I didnt come up with this. Its what God Himself said. If He said it, you better count on the fact that its going to come to pass! People over millenia have been saying, "You have been saying Jesus is coming back soon! where is he?" The bible says that God is long suffering that no one should perish. He is waiting for the time when people just dont want anything to do with Him. Sound familiar? We have kicked Him out of our schools, our government, our families and our homes, we want to take "In God We Trust" off of our money, you cant put up a cross anywhere, cities across the nation wont even let you put up a Nativity scene? You cant even say MERRY CHRISTMAS anymore! You can get arrested for preaching the Word of God in public, but you can scream Islam from the roof tops and thats ok? The time is coming very soon when God will say, "Ok, you dont want me around anymore? See ya" Then the Rapture will take place and all those on earth will experience what its like not to have God around at all. You think evil is running rampant now? You think what happend in Conn. is a rare incident? Boy are you gonna be shocked!

    Seems to me that there a lot of disappointed people out there now that the world has not come to a fiery end. Let me say something to all of you "believers" er i mean fanatics. If you were looking forward to the end of the world, you need to check yourself. Fear leads to hate and hate leads to death. If you are afraid, you are really just making an internal excuse to alienate and hate everyone else who does not have the same system of beliefs. It is why we have war. it is why we have terrorism and it is why things happen like NewTown. Its all about fear first.
    You know what cures fear? Love. God is love. Jesus is love. Buddha is love. Allah is love. Whatever you believe in, you should believe in the message of Love.
    And I pity those who do not, but I do not fear them.
    Ask yourself this as you stand up on your self-righteous pedastal preaching Fear and Judgement and Death to whoever will listen. "Am I preaching the word of God?"
    Chances are you are not. And you are committing one or more of the 7 deadly sins according to the Bible. Talk about hypcritical.
    More people have died on this planet in the name of religion than all natural disasters, diseases, plane crashes, or auto accidents combined. Think about that as well.
    Merry Christmas. No matter your faith, your stance or your ignorance. God still loves you all. And I do too.
    Peace.

    The world is not just going to end. Get that out of your head! You will have 7 years of tribulation and absolute horror before it ends. What you will not see coming is the Rapture. That will happen in the twinkling of an eye and could happen any day. No one knows the day or hour but we will know the general time period. How will we know this? Jesus told his deciples in matthew 24:3-14. It says,
    Signs of the End of the Age
    3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
    9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away[a] and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

All ive wanted to do was find work if not physical then on the net but instead i get taken for money and receive spam. I can type, Spell decently and love to help people. But you think people will put back up what they typed here about helping others. I think it will be proven one way or another when i dont receive one message or email for suggestions or work!
