Everyone fulfills prophecy - it's just a matter of when. II Pet. 3 begins
[1] This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
[2] That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
[3] Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
[4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
[5] For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
[6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
[7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Notice this prediction: scoffers will deny the flood. What could be more contrary to common knowledge than this? The flood has, one way or another, been believed and accepted by almost every civilization. Where could Peter possibly get such an idea? http://creationwiki.org/index.php/Flood_legends#Comparison_of_Accountshttp://www.worldwideflood.com/flood/legends/flood_legends.htmhttp://www.grisda.org/origins/17051.htm http://home.earthlink.net/~misaak/floods.htm We cannot help imagining puzzled looks, when these words were first read. We know Peter's an apostle, and we know the Lord reveals secrets to him, but how could anyone possibly deny the flood? How could anyone possibly take such nonsense seriously?But here we are. Not only do atheists deny the flood; many, perhaps most, persons who call themselves 'christians' go right along with them. Call it appeasement, or compromise, or whatever you will. Facts are facts. This has to be among the most certain and inexplicable prophecies ever. We know when it was written; we know how certainly it has come to pass. And we have a pretty good idea how utterly contrary it must have been to the expectations of persons living at that time. The language isn't subject to several interpretations, either. Peter clearly predicted scoffers would deny the flood, and he did so at a time when the prediction would have been astonishing to his contemporaries. There is no weaseling around this. There's no denial. This is one the scoffers must simply put out of their minds, as they continue to comply with exactly what it says.

Nicely said.
The Bible is an astounding book. Every person should study it and discover the amazing secrets it reveals about us and our future.
Finally, they should discover the unspeakable Gift that God presented to this world, even though the world foolishly rejected it, in part at least.
It's time for humility so we can learn once again.

Thank you fellow-believers,
1 Corinthians 1:18- "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness: but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 2:14- "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
(vs.15) "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man."
Jeremiah 29:11-14a. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
"Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
"And I will be found of you, saith the LORD....."

A Godless Religion /Evolution Christianism?
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." (2 Timotny 3:5)
Concerning the religious leaders of the last days, Paul warns us that they would observe the outward form (church buildings, sacraments, religious services, etc.) of "godliness' (that is, "religion"), but would reject its supernatural aspects. They would desire the trappings of religious professionalism since they would be "lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God" (.4).
The modern world of scientism and liberal theology, which pervades practically all religious denominations and overlaps with all kinds of liberal social movements (women's libertion, gay rights, "New Age" pantheism, and others). Although these are widely diverse in structure and purpose, they all share one vital feature in common: they reject supernatural Christianity, especially literal creationism.
Many liberal preachers give nominal allegiance to the teachings of Christ and the Bible, but they invariable deny the mighty power of God in special creation, as well as the great worldwide miracles of the Bible--the Flood, the dispersion, etc.
This prophecy is not given in Scripture simply as a matter of information. It contains a warning urgently neeeded by Bible-believing Christians who are under pressure today to compromise with humanistic liberals on this great doctrine of God's creative power.
Many have accepted the evolutionary system of "ages geology," and this is tragic and dangerous. Instead of compromising with evolutionary naturalists and religious liberals, as many evangelicals today are inclined to do, Paul warns: "FROM SUCH TURN AWAY!"
Take heed that you be not deceived...
Sincerely, Abishag <><

Very well said.
I have often referred to evolution as a social control. Indeed, it is.
Evolution is the openly-proclaimed foundational belief system of the "new world order". A "belief" in evolution must exist to facilitate the formation of this new order, as spoken of by most Presidents of the United States.
This order is a new system empowering a very small group of horribly corrupt men without conscience to rule globally while the common man and woman are reduced to easily-managed peasantry. Peasantry is created by the removal of God-given personal rights.
Biblical law prohibits rights from being removed from each individual person. The Bible solidly proclaims individual value and provides an open opportunity for wealth and happiness to all.
But, a faith in evolution causes a damage far greater than any of the terrors witnessed (or soon to be witnessed) on Earth.
It subverts the truth of the Bible and replaces it with a shallow lie based on falsified "science" and continual media promotion. This lie steals the evolution-believer's soul by removing any motivation for examining the Bible by falsely undermining its foundation: Genesis.
Evolution is lie that steals souls.
Only those who willfully refuse to examine evidence that counters their false-faith will perish; That is, only those who are hell-bent on believing what they want rather than what the plain-evidence displays.
In short, those who perish choose to do so. They are like those who stand in the fire and then complain that they are in pain. They make choices and then blame others for the consequences.
