    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    Jesus answered that, Paul answered that, and I have also answered that. In which case, I will ask you: When and where in scripture did Jesus answer your question; and when and where in scripture did Paul answer your question? If you know the scriptures (or have been listening to me), you will...

    Socalism & Christianity, a perfect match or a complete clash of ideologies?

    Christianity, unlike Socialism, is not a form of worldly government. Christianity is not worldly, and it is rather a Kingdom with a King. To the contrary, caring for one another is not exclusive to a Socialist worldly government. Many worldly forms of government support the idea of its...

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    Why do you address me as to a third person? But no, I did not say I "believe" anything. I stated rather what I know from God...in which case, indeed there is a Third whom you are also addressing. In either case, you have it backwards, as it is He who comes for us and receives those who are His...

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    Why does one end a statement or accusation with a question mark?

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    Believe as you will, and that will be the measure of what you receive and do not receive. But your beliefs change nothing of the truth, for "no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation."

    Is this a once-off thing or an ongoing thing?

    The act of "put to death", is not our part. Our part is to hear the knock of Jesus on the door (of our heart) and open it. It is then He, by the Holy Spirit, who puts to death our sinful nature. It is rather us stepping up or answering the call, that we (in a manner of speaking) put to death our...

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    None of those indicate that "a thousand" is defined as a worldly term (as the world would define it).

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    144,000 is not a numeration, but an indication, meaning all or the fulness thereof. Likewise, God in fact does not own "the cattle on a thousand hills"--but on every hill.

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    Ron, Thank you! I wanted to "Like" it--because it is mostly true. But that is all just the symptoms of the greater "lie" that first occurred which has caused the general thrust of Christianity to believe that "My master is delaying His coming." Those things are rather like the 40 days and...

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    Thank you for at least appearing to be civil. For this reason I will answer you: What occurs in Luke 17:29-30, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, and Matthew 24:29-30 is what I have been explaining to you--that like the worldly foreshadowing of Sodom, when one hears Jesus knocking and opens the door and He...

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    Again you put these events of God who is outside of time, on a timeline, and so error by lack of understanding that greater scope. Unless and until you are able and ready to consider the things of God in their proper context--you shall remain in the context and dim of this world.

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    By "badmouth" I take it that you mean, are there any who are righteous in what they say. No, but only those who do not themselves speak.

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    You too do not even know the definition of what you accuse me, nor do you know what I am or have said.

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    I understand, but that is still a rationale of what is seen as opposed to what has not been seen. All of what Jesus said and then accomplished to bring about and would "shortly take place" was confirmed even before hand when He said "It is finished." But the blind have explained it away and were...

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    No--but you are a confused liar. Stop or I will report you.

    Very Confused...Can't quite get my head around it

    Blessed are you, for you shall see God! Stay close.

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    Go ahead--heap it on...you who take away the key of knowledge and grieve the Holy Spirit.

    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    You don't even understand the definition of what it is you have accused me of being--let alone the scriptures :(

    Doctrinal Clarity or vagueness?

    I don't want to derail the discussion (disregard if it does), but there are exceptions. ;) Isaiah 45:7, Joel 2:28, Revelation 17:17

    Understanding "THE MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED" passage.

    And you should "keep in mind" that if God has sent me with His "views" by the Holy Spirit...you have not spoken against me, but against Him who sent me.
