This started to work - but I need some way not to lapse, as soon as I think I've got it figured out!

You are - in my opinion - without authority.

I object. Helping people be deceived is a worse sin - if that's what you're doing.

I am angry too, but what I learned to do was distinguish between anger and "micro-aggression". Micro-aggression is like an anger, but it is not "righteous" (as anger can be), its more like Tourette's (at least if you are undiscerning) - it builds up slowly and then leads to an outburst. My...

Hi there, So this is just calling Evolution's claim that we come from monkeys out for what it is: sin. There are lots of sins, but this one is particularly popular, at the moment. I defy it as a work of the Devil! Lord, we plead your blood over what "linking with an animal" robs us of, in Your...

I like your sentiment, but how do you show faith to a fool, if you don't make a distinction? I think it is progress, because an atheist will have a much harder heart than an agnostic.

I want to be able to reach people, with the "mark". I'm not prepared to condemn them. In the same way Paul urges us to be "in the world, but not of it", I am urging us to be "aware of the mark, but not for it"?

After which tribulation? and why?

I liked what you said at first "The spirit wars against the flesh and vice versa." - I've never had a sense that the flesh "fights back", but it does!

Not just choice - but the fruit of that choice!

Just to address the meaning: the "time of Jacob's trouble" refers to Jacob wrestling with an angel of the Lord. The struggle is that Jacob desired a blessing from God, but he tried to get it from one of His angels - so he struggled until God took pity on him and gave him the blessing. The point...

The "mark" is essentially the forbidden fruit of the following Age. However, I do not agree that the temptation to receive it constitutes the tribulation; the temptation is equally to accuse people of wanting to take it or taking a liking to sharing it with others who want it more than you -...

The first coming, for the Cross; the second coming, for the Return in the air; and the third coming, for the Return on the ground.

I don't have any problem with the OP. The tribulation will be more than you think, but thinking you know that: is not it. Essentially Man goes to war with death and starts to lose, but God saves the faithful.

I've had a thought that might help: I am not going to eat McDonald's unless someone is with me - if no-one is with me to eat McDonald's, I won't even think about it! Make sense?

NEWS: God has established that when He considers a Man for his strengths, He considers his "adaptability" (not his progression from one species to another). Dying to yourself, to make way for better adaptations, is more important than surviving, unless you can't follow. I may be holding...

Live by imagination, don't die for glory! If you can humble yourself, good; if he doesn't want to humble himself, also good. You were both responding to your imagination.

The second coming comes with tribulation, is the third coming the same?

Hi there, So this thought is just going around and around in my head: the Holy Spirit will teach a greater degree than Jesus. Jesus essentially taught the "fear of God": repentance, righteous judgment, atonement - we were expected to understand that our fear of God should in fact be a...

Hi there, So I have been wondering for some time what happens in the lead up to the tribulation and one thing I cannot account for is the notion of the Rapture - which I think may mean that a lot of people on Earth (of all faiths, meaning everyone) will "be called home" (die). It's something I...
