Exactly, , even when the Bible refers to one Apocalipsis, gramatically can be use to define multiple apocalipsis, as a Fernando Sanchez Drago  mentions (in a segment about Borges)
 
Quote desde las guerras, desde los apocalipsis, desde el silencio y desde las ruinas,
 
From the wars, from the multiple "Apocalypse" , from the silence and from the ruins
 
From: Oro en la Piedra (A Tribute to Borges) Murcia 1967
 
 
As you well said Apocalipsis is a neutral noun that can be usesd as singular  and in plural depending on the artoicle that goes before  (In English you only use the article  "The" before a noun, no matter if it's feminine, masculine, singular or plural.......In Spanish you use "El" if it's singular and "Los" if it's plural, even more, if it's feminine you use" La" or "Las" depending if it's plural or singular).
 
A bit more complex.

Curious stuff indeed. In English Apocalypse (singular) and Apocalypses (plural) and Greek Αποκάλυψης  (singular) and Αποκαλύψεις (plural). Tricky things translations, though in this case not stunningly important.

The latter has awful lyrics for hypothetical terrible songs... The former has fire, trumpets, and Satan... Tongue

A good question.......but it is not the world that is so f**ked up, but many homo sapiens that are so f**ked up.
 
As for no devine intervention considerering all the multitude of atrocities caused by homosapiens, yes I question that too.
 
Maybe it is that old fable about God cannot break the arch of time, or that mosque in Jerusalem which has not been knocked down yet to make way for a Jewish temple.

The resolution of the Temple Mount/Dome Of The Rock issue is beyond the capabilities of man.

Just watched this on YouTube ... very concise. I completely agree with it, and I recommend watching it to anyone who has been following this thread this far.

If that video doesn't convert you to Christianity, I don't know what well. I suddenly feel more Christian because of that video.

You hate the guy so much that you want to disagree with whether you're an atheist or not.

And I'm in no interest to say any mainly because I didn't get far enough through the video to the part where he made any points.

LOL Whatever, have it your way. Your first post seemed to imply that you watched the video though, which was why I kept asking for details.

Mike, I think what people are saying is that TheAmazingAtheist is a cocky a****le. 

I don't think you should keep posting his vids on here since you and I seem to be the only ones who enjoy them. LOL
