    I think the seventh millennium began in 1998, we are in the darkness before the dawn as we speak. These are my opinions of course. I will share some of those timelines with you all some day when I have some time to find them all. They are stunningly accurate, and remember, the Hebrew luni/solar...

    Forgive me, I was not accusing you, that is a term from A.W. Tozer that describes a church of falling into textualism. I thought I had shared the link with you before about this, but here it is. It is short and well worth reading. No Revival without Reformation - A.W. Tozer - Sermon Index

    No, But all around the true believers, and they sway and seduce them, especially the young believers. We must grow up into Him in all things. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: (Ephesians 4:15)

    We are complete in him who are his, But the church is full of both wheat and tares, and we are still in our fallen bodies, and there is spiritual growth that occurs in us which is progressive sanctification. Do Not get hooked into the hyper dispensational argument that the wheat and tares refers...

    Here is a good teaching on the wheat and tares from Warren Wiersbe, He makes some great points re: wherever God sows the good seed, the devil sows bad seed. The Wheat and Tares Parable 1- Warren Wiersbe - YouTube

    Not to be offensive, but this attitude is what the Laodicean believer says: Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: Revelation 3:17. And contrary to Ephesians 4:13...

    God has Planted in us all the truth, it must grow in us. The enemy planted tares among the wheat, they are there, and they are amongst us. This is why I believe the outpouring of the gift of the discernment of spirits will mark this end time revival, and why it is withheld from us on the large...

    Read the Parable of the wheat and the tares again. notice the wheat and the tares grow together, rather than uprooting the wheat, He allows the tares to be there. They are the ones that are preventing this unity of the Spirit from coming to full fruition, as the Wheat grows, so grows the church...

    Well said, and therein lies the problem there is no anointing there. Instead he has risen to power by the means of manipulation and lording over the laity. An anointed leader is exalted by God.

    Yes, and yes these things are beginning now, I think that many of those sealed up prophecies are beginning to be unsealed now, and many are coming around to see where the tares have infiltrated the church, yet we must wait for the angels to separate the wheat from the tares.

    It depends on the severity of the birth pangs, and how quickly they come out. right now the mood in the church is largely one of saying things will return to normalcy, But once we reach the point of severe distress Christians will cry out to God and he will answer. It could be within a year or...

    I Believe that Isaiah 55:9-13 is going to be fulfilled, By His will, and by the Work of the Holy Spirit. I Think all of the splintering in the church, the heresies, the corruption are an opportunity for the light to shine as @Truman Ron stated above. That includes Miracles, and the fulfilment of...

    It is my firm belief that we are now living in the times of the birth pangs, and they are increasing. we are seeing lawlessness increasing, pestilences (Plagues) Famines are coming shortly, economic and military turmoil etc. it is not just here in the U.S. but worldwide. These things precede the...

    Its the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is different from the Gospel of grace unto salvation. The Gospel of the kingdom precedes the coming King, it is what John the Baptist preached and what Jesus Preached and the Gospel preached to the Jews at Pentecost, and had they have received it the Kingdom...

    Hi Marks, The scriptures that speak of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached once more, refer to this outpouring IMO. It is a worldwide outpouring, not just a regional one we have seen in the past, as Many believers simultaneously reach the fulness of Christ. (See Matthew 24:14)

    That reconciliation Ministry is now done by the elders of the church, all believer can grow into elders, and therefore all believers are called to reconcile. The Apostles were the first elders (1 Peter 5:1, 2 John 1:1) and you could see the process of their maturing under the tutelage of Christ...

    So the Coptics in Egypt are a dissident group, and the Maronites in Syria, the Chaldeans in Iraq, The liberation theologians in south America, All the various Old catholic churches in Europe, and the U.S.? You see how this close mindedness is reducing your church to a pittance now, and how...

    Agreed this is a problem but I could make a similar list for the RCC. The fact is, to quote St, Augustine, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” I Believe there is a list of things that all true Christians hold in unity, which are the essentials of the...

    Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: (John 20:21-22) Incorrect, as I have said to you before, Jesus extended this calling to all believers...
