    The cycle of abuse

    Did you return a blessing for the "curse" that you think "Waiting on him" pronounced on you, Jelly Jam?

    The cycle of abuse

    The original thread topic isn't much going anywhere, anyway. :oops:

    The cycle of abuse

    Some even call 1 Corinthians chapter 15 the "mini-gospel". If the person you are witnessing to is not willing to sit for a full gospel presentation at one time, you can do a bit of a study of 1 Cor. ch. 15 for Christ's resurrection, the resurrection of the dead, the resurrection of those still...

    Yup--totally about the resurrection. :)

    The cycle of abuse

    Since Jesus put no qualifiers on it, I think He meant us to take it literally for all time.

    Yes, God will make us completely perfect in our resurrection glorified bodies.

    The cycle of abuse

    That's Salem, Massachusetts that you are thinking of, Farouk. Old Salem in North Carolina is another Salem.

    The cycle of abuse

    No--but it looks like a lot of fun and very rewarding to be teaching "living history". One of my favorites of the Townsend's video series is the one done at Mt. Vernon with a "slave" woman. She is wonderfully articulate in describing what life was like for slaves on the Mt. Vernon estate...

    "When the full number of the Gentiles" has come into the Church.

    The cycle of abuse

    Historical re-enactments have taken off from simple war re-enactments. As part of the "Living History" movement, there are re-enactors employed by colonial Williamsburg; Mt. Vernon; Whitehall Historic Site (in Richmond Virginia); St. Augustine, Florida; Old Salem Village (North Carolina); Black...

    Ezekiel 24:3 tells you that it is an "illustration".

    The cycle of abuse

    I guess if He did that, He decided that (a) I no longer needed to reside in my mortal flesh OR (b) He was going to miraculously keep my mortal body alive OR (c) He was going to resurrect me in a new body, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that does not need air to survive.

    Jesus said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

    What is the "Abomination of Desolation"?

    Opinion is divided on that. Some Orthodox Jews insist that, if a Temple is built, it must be Ezekiel's Temple. Consequently, some Christians have taken to suggesting that Ezekiel's Temple will be the one to be desecrated and then cleansed and re-dedicated once the Antichrist is sent to the...

    The cycle of abuse

    Yes. We are responsible for giving the truth in love. God is responsible for the results.

    The cycle of abuse

    Agreed. We need a balanced approach. David Wilkerson could hardly have been described as a "fire and brimstone" preacher (his manner was quite gentle and loving) but he did preach against the "so-called love gospel" where prospective converts are told, "you're fine, you're good--just believe...

    The cycle of abuse

    A complication is that we are all hypocrites at times. Adam and Eve started it all with their blame-shifting (Eve:"It wasn't me, it was the snake"--Adam: It wasn't me--it was that woman you gave me."). It is easy to point the finger at someone or something else and forget about our own sin...

    The cycle of abuse

    Hi Willie T. Haven't seen you posting in a while. :) Scripture tells that there are those who have "no hope". (see 1 Thessalonians 4:13)

    "God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him the world might be saved." (John 3:17 emphasis mine)

    The cycle of abuse

    Truth has a way of battering at our defenses against it. It is exhausting to keep trying to avoid confronting Him. He is the truth.
