Unfortunately, this question is subject to a great deal of controversy. Christians disagree about what is meant by the "end of the age." One view, called Preterism, teaches that the "end of the age" refers to the destruction of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Secular history tells us that the Roman army successfully invaded Jerusalem and destroyed both the city and the Temple in 70 a.d. Another view, called premellennial dispensationalism teaches that the "end of the age" means the "end of the world." At that time there will be a new heavens and a new earth. This answer is of necessity an oversimplification. Steve Gregg has edited a book entitled Revelation: Four View: A Parallel Commentary which tries to fairly present the four traditional views on this issue.

Why doesn't god answer me I am depressed because i don't know what happens after death and he never answers my prayers?

If you are not a Christian then God is not under any obligation to answer your prayers. If you are a Christian then read the Bible, God tells us in the Bible what happens after death. The Bible tells us that death is not the end. For the Christian, death is simply a step to the fullness of life in the presence of the Lord Jesus. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. If you are a believer, then you already know what it means to be forgiven and to have the hope of the future resurrection in Christ -- this is not depressing news.

Why do Christians offer to debate the Bible and then flee from that debate when they find themselves lacking the truth to back up their claims?

A:Not all Christians would flee from the challenge. Those who believe that the Bible itself is all the proof that the Bible needs, a circular argument, would never flee from the opportunity to put their case, as long as the non-Christian is willing to accept the groundrule that the Bible proves the Bible. Usually the debate comes to an end when the non-Christian insists on non-biblical proof of any biblical claim.On the other hand, some Christians would only agree to debate the Bible if, as a precondition, the non-Christian accepts that the Bible is inerrant and therefore will not dispute any claims made in the Bible. For this Christian, non-biblical proofs for or against the Bible are irrelevant.Those who genuinely believe that the Bible is substantially true and can be proven thus, may well agree to debate the Bible, although becoming angry or frustrated if a non-Christian debater demonstrates errors of fact in the Bible.Those who hope the non-Christian knows less about the Bible or the context in which it was written than they do themselves could very possibly refuse the opportunity to debate with a more knowledgeable non-Christian.Of course, a debate on such a sensitive topic can only proceed if both sides agree to be polite and civil. No reasonable Christian would entertain a debate if the other party is likely to mock the Bible, just as no reasonable non-Christians ought to agree to debate if the Christian mocks their beliefs or non-beliefs, or threatens hell-fire for all those who do not believe.
