    How will we know the real Jesus from a false prophet?

    Hmmm, I have read that text in Acts as stating he will come in like manner as in the clouds (seeing this is what the angels addressed to the disciples as they stood gazing up). I do not see it as meaning the same location. The text in Zechariah speaking of touching down on Mt Olivet I think is...

    Is this going to be the mark of the beast?

    The word ‘shortly’ only makes sense in God’s timing. To say that Revelation is not applicable to our time because because ‘shortly’ does not mean 20 centuries is a misunderstanding at best and blindness at worst.

    Can men with man buns be saved?

    I don’t hear any objections to the pictures of Jesus with long hair. If he did have long hair, which personally I don’t think he did, can you imagine it swinging around his face in the carpentry shop? Practicality in this situation dictates that the hair be contained; the method is personal...

    Can men with man buns be saved?

    Purely a result of homophobic programming.

    The Beauty of Holiness

    Those who love Holiness/Righteousness love God’s Law. It is their meditation day and night. They model their behaviour accordingly. In it is his character embodied. Conversely, those who give lip service to Holiness put God’s Law in the shadows and Righteousness is not a priority.

    How will we know the real Jesus from a false prophet?

    The Mark of the Beast determination will be in regard to the Law of God. It will be the final test in time; the test which has been the same throughout the history of those claiming God’s favour ie, does one submit to the laws of men or the Laws of God. While there is still confusion on what...

    How will we know the real Jesus from a false prophet?

    The critical factor is to remain connected to the vine (think about the analogy). Without me you can do nothing Jesus reminded us. Connection by its very nature means being totally reliant in every aspect of one’s reality including discernment, including time ie, 24 hrs. It is our privilege...

    Open rebellion against God

    The medieval church with is sophistication worked out methods of salvation while maintaining rebellion. At the same time its sophistry pulls the rug out from under its parishioners entrapping all who drink it’s wine. No sanctification=no hope. To argue contrary to this is none other than self...

    Is this going to be the mark of the beast?

    The matters to be understood will be understood by the diligent searcher.....this process is unfolding both in regards to personal experience and that of history. Being mindful not to superimpose human limits on God's word, in this case, time, will aid in avoiding erroneous conclusions. Without...

    Salome's online classes

    The children have their angels that always see the face of their Father in heaven. Our prayers pierce and hinder Satans attempts to crush the little ones. Adults as their role models go a long way in representing their Father to them. Children can handle direct talk that adults often cannot...

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    And to further that, although a small digression from the OP, without the foundation of a correct understanding of the scriptures any manifestations or interpretations which appear, have the power to take us down the road most travelled.....and we all know where that heads to.

    Where in the bible does it say I need to use it

    Yes, I agree here. What comes to mind re this principle is the account of Jesus sending out the 70. They were told to go out and preach the Kingdom of God. What did they tell the folks?? Jesus hadn't died or been resurrected....the Lord's supper had not been instituted, Pentecost had not...

    Job 17

    Enoch, the subject of the state of the dead has been repeated on these forums many times over which you no doubt have had access to. Without doing it to death again I will put some brief inserts between your listed points..... more for the benefit of those reading because I know you are fixed in...

    Job 17

    I'm sorry Enoch...what you assert here is not backed by God's Word as I understand it. Rather, it is the position you hold that is destroyed by the revelation that Jesus used the story of Lazarus in Abrahams bosom to bring home the point 'if they believe not Moses and the Prophets they won't...

    Is this going to be the mark of the beast?

    Is this going to be the mark of the beast?...No, I don't think so! If anything, this is a testing of the waters so to speak ie, lets see what sort of a reaction/response we get from people/individuals, from communities, states and nations. The real string pullers are in the background unseen...
