    The Mark of the Beast is here!

    I think if we take the MoB literally then whatever it is it has the ability to mark and control everyone somehow. The obvious is some sort of tech. This could not have happened at any other time except right now and in the future. So the climate is right. That tech could come from any number...

    Few are saved.

    Its so simple when you lay it out like that. If you sin and don't follow Christs teachings you don't have God. If you follow Christs teachings he is in Christ and the Father. Its like you cannot worship two gods. You are either in Christ or anti Christ. You don't have to be a rocket scientists...

    False Christs, False Prophets and False Teachers. These are the days we live in.

    Thank you. I think everyone does not like a hypocrite. Theres something in us that is provoked. Almost as though we know that there is a truth and know when people are not aligning with that. So it makes sense that if the church actually lived the teachings like the early church. Then this...

    Are we in a post moral relativist culture.

    I say this because it seems that the counter culture has been around for some time now. It began with the 60's revolutions as a reaction against the church and establishment. It moved into academia with Post Modernist Critical theories. It then finally infiltrated mainstream culture and norms...

    The Bliss of Religious Homeostasis - Don't Rock the Boat

    I think there are diferent ways to define homeostasis. Here are a couple of definitions the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. Homeostasis is the biological process by which organisms maintain a...

    Gardening, Homesteading, Off-grid, etc

    Yes thankyou I would be interested. I think I may be able to get the land but have to find ways to build the house as cheap as possible lol. You can get cheap land but its pretty flat. The area I am looking at near my parents is on and around a mountain range. The town of Toowoombah is actually...

    Demonic forces.

    It seems like some sort of demonic spirit was unleashed after the assassination attempts on Thrump. But especially the assassination of Kirk. That was more than just politics. It was like a declaration as well. It seemed after this people were celebratingthe death and destruction of others...

    18 Reasons Why It’s Hard Being a Christian in Today’s World

    Paul qualifies the Elders of the church to be above reproach. This is the foundation. Begin with leaders who are above reproach and then the church becomes above reproach. Or at least very close. There will be nothing that the world can accuse them of that undermines the gospel they preach...

    Yes, very much so.

    Few are saved.

    Thats the problem. Other denominations will say the same. Thats what causes the division. All it takes is a belief in the gospel. The partaking in the Body of Christ.

    18 Reasons Why It’s Hard Being a Christian in Today’s World

    Yes its a very powerful message. I think its the only message that will work today. Considering that we have all this white noise of culture wars. People shaming and blaming each other, making two wrongs a right, looking to fight back and not turn the other cheek in pride. Looking to belittle...

    Demonic forces.

    Yes and stats show that liberals are more likely to support such ideas. Especially women. Which is what we see in mainstream society. So its interesting that the same beliefs and behaviours are reflected in the church. I think liberal or progressive ideology is linked back to the garden. The...

    Gardening, Homesteading, Off-grid, etc

    I love this stuff. I grew up in the suburbs but my mum and step dad bought a place in the middle of nowhere called Gulargambone. I was in the Boy Scouts and loved the adventure. I live on the coast now in Queensland but have dreamt about getting some land and going off grid. Theres cheap land...

    Tricksters

    I think the meanings of words and their value as to holding some truth and respect has deminished. Because everything has been brought into question and alternative possibilities have been proposed and even pushed. Or in reimagining words to mean something else. Or devaluing them by conflating...

    Music thread

    I have followed the Kelly Family for years. I discovered their music by accident when I found a casette of their music in a car I bought. I don't think I would have ever known them or even chose their music. They were not commercial and really unknown outside Europe and Britain. But what caught...

    Few are saved.

    I have had long discussions with JW. In fact we had myself as a traditional Christian, an atheist and a JW. We had some interesting discussions. But JW are too one dimensional. Its like a membership and you have to qualify to be a Christian. Like the Amish there are some who live apart from...

    Demonic forces.

    Therefore I think the time is ripe for a Billy Graham type preacher. But one that knows the modern world and how it thinks. In fact when Graham was preaching though he brought many to Christ. It was a culture which accepted and respected such preachers. The culture was more open to God and had...

    Demonic forces.

    Wow thats scary. I know of the secular efforts which are now being investigated such as (Signal) network. Which aims to block and impede ICE and dox them in the hope of them and their families being attacked. But now even churches are become passive political activists in the name of Christ...

    18 Reasons Why It’s Hard Being a Christian in Today’s World

    Thankyou. Thats a comprehensive list and covers so many aspects that are true. I think relativism is the result of postmodernism. Which is really the age of self referentialism. Truth and reality come through the lens of (self) through experiences and feelings of the world. So there are many...

    THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, DIDN'T BEGIN AT PENTECOST

    I think this is the true essense of the church. That people met in homes in back streets breaking bread. Christ was crucified and had risen and people were believing. The disciples were sharing the last supper and this spread throughout Jerusalem and into the surrounding areas. Little churches...
