    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    Okay. So how many are you willing to kill to defend yourself against... Who? Who is it actually you are fighting against BJ?

    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    Mmmm. You are a suspect one. First you tell us not to trust Paul's writings because Paul is a heretic, now you are telling us not to trust the warnings of Jesus concerning the troubles of the last days. The foremost warning Jesus gave and which Paul echoed was that against false teachers and...

    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    The situation we will face, or some of us will face, because I think many here will become enemies to the truth: will be similar to what Hezekiah faced when Sennacherib fronted up to Jerusalem with a couple of hundred thousand trained soldiers, far outnumbering the Jews, and with arms and...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    No. You don't. You may think you do, but you are deceiving yourself. And others. And Paul would be horrified if he learned that someone thought his letters were encouraging people to follow him. He said emulate him yes, but emulate Paul in following Christ.

    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    Great thinking. And I agree with the basis premise, but disagree with the if. I am convinced it is inevitable that the final remnant will need to face that situation. But even then... Especially then... God will provide the means, and in particular the protection, needed. I all also convinced...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    While you, @bbyrd009 and @amadeus may focus on this life, in in one sense it is most crucial to do so for it we do not accept the life and character of Christ now, we will have no life or character to take with us into the next. Now bbyrd often speaks of the"death more abundantly' as something...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    Blood was necessary because the life is in the blood... It was the life offered in self sacrifice that redeems us. Jesus did have to die... If there was another way God would have taken that avenue don't you think? Lowered His standards? Changed the law? Let anyone into the afterlife regardless...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    Whatever God gives.. Eternal life... Everlasting life... Immortality... Or however else we may describe it, we shall always be dependent upon God for it. I think. I can't imagine that the life we are given is that which we may confer upon others. Not that there could be a possibility of it every...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    You are correct in all those things, but they don't address the promises of life after the Resurrection at the second coming. KJV John 5 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    But to accept that the witch, and Saul were not deceived, one has to accept as Truth what Satan said in the garden. You shall not surely die. Either Samuel was dead, and knew nothing as scripture elsewhere declares, or he wasn't dead but very much alive and knew everything. Was even still in...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    Right... So we...His children!... Are resurrected too die again. Never again to exist... Okay... Sounds logical. Uh huh... So . Ummm, who was it actually that came up? After God had refused to talk to Saul, neither by prophet or priest, dream or vision, He actually allows some witch to raise...

    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    No. Wrong context. Worship or submission to the global religious power that enforces it's Mark upon all mankind. The mark being a counterfeit to the seal of God in the forehead.

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    We could go back and forth all day with scriptures that appear to contradict each other. Yet you comes yourself that you don't know what takes place after you due it what you shall become, at the same time disavowing all knowledge of scriptures that do reveal at least in part am answer to those...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    You've quoted this before I think... Or at least maybe a part of it... KJV John 14 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and...

    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    Yep. KJV Revelation 13 A Beast from the Earth 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship...

    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    Oh, most assuredly. The vast majority of Christianity today already submits to false doctrine which when enacted into state law, they will then use to persecute their fellow Christians who don't subscribe to it. A repeat of the Cain and Abel scenario. Brother against brother. And the issue...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    ...to the carnal selfish nature...burial in other words... Of which baptism is the outward ritual or demonstration of that which had already transpired in the heart/mind... Which results in the fulfillment of the promise... ... Which is the fruit of the aforementioned spiritual...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    And yet you and most other Christians believe that lie... That we don't "surely die". You believe we are whisked of into some eternal abode, one with smiley faces the other with frowns, the moment you stop breathing... You believe your spirit, or soul, whatever, is naturally immortal and never...

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    Heaven is real. KJV Hebrews 11 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they...

    Are You Prepared If Things go all "Lord of the Flies?"

    My conclusion is that whatever we personally cannot cope with, God will. What we can do now in preparation is developing our relationship with our Savior. Getting to know Him... Becoming more like Him... For by beholding we are changed into His image. Then when laws are passed that are offensive...
