Simple. No one knows the time or day of the second coming.

What you have said is that faith in Jesus is irrelevant. All that matters is love. I don't find that in my scriptures and homosexuals claim they are loving.

1st century lady, you post what you do because you have this penchant to make the scriptures say what the scripture does not say. Nothing is more obvious than your claim that the tribulation is going to start only weeks or months from now. AND The person who does not understand the gospel will...

Tell me, if you did not have the protestant church to rail against and criticize, what would you do all day?

Where do I stand? I come from a background as a cultural warrior contesting man's ideas to get God out of the picture. One of the common accusations leveled at Christians is you don't show the love of God in your condemnation. They say that because they do not know what love is. So here are the...

I don't know if I have contributed to this subject as I have been out of action for a while as I had to have a heart operation to prevent me from dying. But for what it is worth as the church is a specialist subject of mine I would like to say that most churches today ignore scripture...
