And what would those be Willie? Yes--I think that is important to note. Real prophecies come to fruition in God's timing. It is unthinkable that any of God's prophecies would not come true. The way that we can know they will come true is that all of the OT prophets had some portion of...

It does seem as though the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is becoming less popular these days. Part of it is that there have been so many failed predictions. I really wish people would stop fabricating their fanciful date-setting (and I suspect that it is sometimes done just to make $$$) and just...

Why thank you! That blesses me. :) I feel badly about "Core Issue"--he has apparently been told to leave this site. He has a new forum/blog that he is trying to get going. He runs it under the name of "Core Issue"--I have been on there a couple of times but it seems like it is not getting...

I raised that point with you some time ago in response to your seemingly unshakeable faith in your own abilities to hear God over the ability of others to hear Him.

I said they were/are deceived/deluded. Isaiah says they are deceived/deluded. (Isaiah 44:20) By the way, how does Isaiah 55:8-9 apply to me any more than it applies to you?

No--I hear it alright--it is just that I don't agree with it (even though you are sometimes incoherent).

Revelation 20:11-13--->"11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from His presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is...

Why do you think this refutes anything I have said? Jesus HAS been gone a long time already. Many in the early church believed that He could return at any time. Peter suggested that maybe Jesus wouldn't return as soon as they had hoped.

There you go with your "religiosity" insult again--and then you "order" me to "stop trying to make..."? Isaiah (see Isaiah 44:9-20) uses reason against idol-worship--did he have "religiosity" too?

They are quite deceived, are they not? They may worship themselves or any of their false gods--just as they will worship the "Beast". The Bible never says that those who worship the Beast have faith in him. They apparently don't even know what faith is.

Nevertheless, that is what the Bible teaches. They won't be asking anything as they will be in the ground waiting for their final judgment after the Second Resurrection. You think you absolutely know that but, I say, based on the certainty of Biblical prophecy, the Millennial Kingdom WILL...

I was speaking of REAL faith--all else is a deception from the enemy. . Then, you have put your "faith" in the wrong person, place or thing. God is the only One worthy of our faith in Him. The fact that accidents such as your depiction do happen, indicates that humans are not omnipotent and...

LOL China? The pollution capital of the world? That China? They had to do something about their horrible air pollution (thus the ban on cars). It was either that or outfit everyone in Beijing with scuba gear. You can't safely breathe the air in most Chinese cities, you can't drink the...

Agreed. Probably a majority of Jews are today, non-religious. They may observe the Jewish feasts and Sabbath (much the same as Gentile unbelievers celebrate Christmas and Easter) but they do not really practice Judaism. They wouldn't have a clue that the "star of David" is actually a symbol of...

What on earth is that supposed to mean? Every time anyone disagrees it is because they have "religious glasses on"? Perhaps it is you who have "religious glasses on" since you seem to see "religious" impulses in everyone but yourself.

Well, I think that we are probably quibbling over words. You call it "human faith"--and I think there is probably no such thing. What you have observed is what I call hope and maintain that you cannot give faith to yourself because it is God-given.

I'm off to bed--good night! ZZZZZZZ;)

I've never seen anyone yet who was able to will themselves well. On the other hand, I have seen a few people with the faith that God would heal them--sometimes He did, sometimes He did not. But either way, their faith remained. The Apostle Paul said, "To die is to gain..."

Then it is not faith, but hope. I have seen despondent people whose hope is gone. They may have said they had "faith" when, in reality, what they had were hopes. Real faith is not so easily defeated. Even the immanence of death does not diminish faith--but it can make the formerly hopeful...

I didn't say that it does. Loving God and loving one's fellow humans (especially Christians) is the outcome of salvation and it will last through all the ages long after everyone in God's Kingdom comes to a knowledge of the truth.
