    Girl 9 beaten to death during exorcism...

    I agree with you, but to sheet the problem to only "Christians" who operate to exorcise demons etc. from people is misleading on your part. I have spent a little time in Sri Lanka, and have a sense of what might have gone down. Yes, before we are led to perform an exorcism by God, we need to...

    Is This the Beast?

    That is your opinion, however, from my perspective, I have seen the three foul frog like spirits go out to the whole world to show their signs and wonders, to begin the drawing of the kings of the earth to Armageddon. The USA is not mentioned in this bowl judgement, but that is where the signs...

    Is This the Beast?

    That is like your opinion of the Bible. Again that is your opinion. If you read the bible, even the prophets had a difficult time getting through to the fallen saints of their time. They did not want to listen to them either and they were put down by the people and some were even killed...

    Is This the Beast?

    ROFL, so true, so true.

    rejecting Jesus Christ is different from the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

    Well He did not speak out in English, that is for sure. Something you can take to the bank.

    Girl 9 beaten to death during exorcism...

    First off, there is no claim in the report that the exorcism was performed by a woman claiming to be a "Christian." The report only tell us that a woman offered her services to chase spirits away from people. In Sri Lanka, there are many "witch doctors" who offer their services to heal and...

    Is This the Beast?

    Your POV with respect to this present time is, IMHO, correct with respect to the fourth beast of Daniel 7:1-12, and if we consider that the Little Horn will have influence over the fourth beast and it is the Little Horn that speaks pompous word about God. In Daniel 8 it is the Little Horn...

    10,000 Kg of Rice

    I looked on Google to see what rice costs in India and I accepter the information without questioning its validity. I apologise for my error as I was out by a factor of seven. However if 5 or 10 people meet the costs by their giving, then the burden on each of them is greatly reduced. I am...

    10,000 Kg of Rice

    Mayflower, I set out to show that the cost to provide food is relatively cheap relatively with respect to our countries as compared with the costs to do the same within our communities. I was also suggesting that it is also important to help the not so well off people around us, rather than...

    10,000 Kg of Rice

    So what you are saying is that for you to be able to buy, 10,000 kg of rice to distribute to the poor, you will need around $700 USD to be able to buy the rice first and pay for its transport to the people who are in need of it. But providing rice is not what is only needed by them. They also...

    Is This the Beast?

    @marks, the understanding of the dynamic of world events by many is limited by the bias of their private/adopted interpretations with respect to what is presently happening. Has Daniel 7:11-12 happened yet? No, it has not but it will play out in the next 20-25 years time from this present...

    What makes a good christian leader

    For me, a Good Christian Leader is a person who is in constant communion with God and is steadfast during times when God is silent through faith believing in God, worshipping and praising His Holy Name. A good Christian Leader can recognise when he has sinned and understands the how and the why...

    Bible Translation Study

    Hello, Perhaps as a person who perceives that there are a lot of errors in our various translations, both in the Hebrew and Greek contextual translations, the problem we have is that we have great difficulty in perceiving the errors that persist in the translations that we hold dearly to. Do...

    Your Thoughts: 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10

    Perhaps, we should remember that all have their particular bias as to how the "source text" should be translated. One such bias that I see is the translation of the Hebrew word H:5769 in Genesis 13:15 which in my humble opinion gives the wrong impression as to the context of what the Lord is...

    So...feb, and still no sign of a major change

    Is not that what I have said? The we investigate the promptings we receive so that we gain an understanding of the intent, which you claim is the holy grail. It seems that you have an issue with people who might disagree with your source of understanding.

    So...feb, and still no sign of a major change

    So all of our translations are infallible then, even though they are not all essentially the same?

    Your Thoughts: 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10

    I trust that the discussion on the second death in Mark 9:1 is finished and that this thread can return to a discussion on 1 Thess 1:5-10. Thanks Shalom

    Your Thoughts: 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10

    Your comments are based on your understanding of the English use of the word "death" to describe both the physical death and the second death in our English translations. This is true in both our OT and NT translations. In Genesis 2:17 it tells us that if we sin, we will die the second death...

    So...feb, and still no sign of a major change

    Barbara, I understand that many people have difficulty in understanding the End Time Prophecies, because the understanding of them has been hidden from us in the English Translations that we use. There is a lot of detective work required to unravel the truth of the matters concerning the End...
