[quote name='Joshua David' timestamp='1297781401' post='100782'] Ok it seems as if we are going around in circles. I do see your points, but I don't accept them. I do not believe in a partial rapture, and I do not believe that the 24 elders are angels, for angels are never said to wear crowns. Since these elder's are wearing crowns they can't be angels. And we can go back and forth and back and forth. Suffice to say that you made your point, and I understand why you believe partly the...

[quote name='CharlesBaker' timestamp='1297686116' post='100618'] Dear Friends: I'm not interested in setting dates but would like to point out that the first half of the tribulation period, of 1,260 years, will be the time during which the tribulations of the first four seals will come on the earth. The fifth seal will be a scene in heaven addessed to those who will die during total tribulation period. The events of the sixth seal can only occur at the end of the 1,000 years and the...

Such a paradise God created on earth and what a shame how ugly, the human race is hell bent on turning this heaven on earth into, by creating things that do nothing but hurt all on earth....Working Together we need to Create a better world, for all our children of tomorrow and Change this destructive mentality of..... War, Racism, Apartheid, Segregation, Starvation in a World of plentiful, Genocide against Humanity, The Children, The Animals, The Birds, The Whales, The...

One of my old MySpace friends insisted on calling gays “sodomites” because, “That’s what the Bible calls them.” No amount of evidence to the contrary would convince him. He also didn’t seem to care that it’s considered a derogatory term in LGBT circles and never quite understood why he couldn’t get gays to listen to him. He’s not alone. I’ve heard a lot of preachers call gays sodomites. “Sodomite” is not a scriptural term. At best, it’s a King James term. As far as I know, it’s only used in...

Having been on both sides of the issue at different points in my life, I’ve learned a few things about interactions between The Church and the LGBT (lesbian/gay/bi/trans) community. Unfortunately, the most significant thing I have learned is that what most Christians view as “ministering” too often has the effect of turning LGBT folk away from Christ. Many Christians seem more interested in debate than evangelism and sometimes I wonder if they don’t gauge their success by how deeply they...

Dangerous subject I know but I feel that because I spend a lot of time in the Political area of these forums I would take this chance to let people know where I stand when it comes to politics. I have studied Politics and Social Psych since I was 14 and have joined various political groups...I wont mention which at this time though if you really want to know leave me a message here or through Private Message. Currently however I am happy to say I belong to no official party even though I am...

Matthew 12:28 -- "If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you." The unseen world has influence over the visible. The Kingdom is here and now. We must acknowledge that it's in the invisible realm. Just as Jesus worked only through the Spirit of God, we need to do likewise as His agent. The enemy's attempt to anchor our affections to the things that are visible is easily resisted when our hearts are aware of the presence of the Kingdom of God. 2...

Was Jesus in India? The New Testament is silent on those years, however in India there is an ancient tradition that young Jesus joined a caravan and took the Silk Road to the East, where He lived with both Hindus and Buddhists before returning to begin His ministry. To what extent are these traditions based on evidence, and why does the “Pope” of Hinduism now insist that Jesus was in India? Scholars and religious authorities are joined in this film by the Dalai Lama and an Apostolic...

Jesus Christ Is God! Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, is 100% God and 100% man, human or your faith is in vain. If He, Yeshua Hamashiach is not 100% God, He is not sinless; He is not the Lamb of God that “takes away the sin of the world. If He, Yeshua Hamashiach, is not 100% human, He can not die in our place. Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, is the Word, Logos of God in human form. He, Yeshua Hamashiach, is Eternal, with The Father, Yahavah, YHVH, and The Holy Spirit, Ruach Ha-Kodesh.

Christian Basics What I believe in a few words... God reveals Himself to us in the Bible. The Bible gives us a true picture of reality and shows us that we have been created to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. The Bible is our final authority in all matters of truth and practice The Bible teaches us about: God: The unity of the Godhead and the divine co-equality of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God is sovereign in creation, providence and redemption. Ourselves: Through the...

Our church, the Seaside Christian Church based in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, has a vision to establish a Christ centred drug rehabilitation facilty. We believe there is a huge need for this as there is a major drug epidemic in South Africa. We are establishing ourselves bases on Isaiah 61 v 1-2 and have a heart for setting the captives free through the power and might of our Lord Jesus Christ. We would like to ask our brothers and sisters around the world to unite with us in...

I want to share my thoughts from Luke 11:34-36 which is pointed out in the passage of Mt 6:23. Both light and darkness co-exists in the world. Darkness never remains for it is overshadowed by the light. In other words, the light of the world is Jesus.. I want to focus on the light of God. The Eye of the Lamp is the window to our soul. In the natural, our eyes in order to see, need the light. When we remove the light, say when night falls, our eyes must adjust to the darkness by the...

Sometimes inside of ordinary unexpected happenings God reaches down into that sudden situation for His honor and glory and allows us to experience extra-ordinary blessings of wonderful proportions. Our dog's surgery was the last place I expected to come out of with any blessings. Molly is our 75 lb. chocolate lab, she is a search dog. After watching her limp off and on for several weeks, my "Dear Heart" decided to take her to the vet's. We found out she had a torn ligament in her knee....

When I face a difficult situation, I often find myself thinking on butterflies and baby chicks. Butterflies must exit a cocoon and baby chicks must exit the egg shell. Both of them have a need for this difficult transition into their new world. If anyone helps them out their cocoon or egg shell because of compassion they only cripple the butterfly and soon it dies, and the baby chick soon becomes weak and dies also. I use to wonder why God in His wisdom did this. As I have grown older and...

This week has been absolutely fantastic. My spirit is up, I'm on top of my course and I'm very much in love with my boyfriend.Things have been looking up for me lately and I Guess i have the lord to thank for my turn around in the positive direction. Without god, I don't think I would have made it. He has shown me that there is more to life then those little possessions, but there is also a fulfillment when you actually have something to believe in. God helps you live the life that you truly...
