    Christ has already returned ?

    In 70ad for the uptenth time and I’m not pretrist person. I believe Jesus came and was seen just as he left and not some spiritual return like they say.

    Christ has already returned ?

    I base my stance on faith it has nothing to do with dates and that’s what’s cool for me. I don’t have to see anything I can read about though. It’s as simple as saying was Jesus a liar? And did those people even exist? Jesus must never told them that they told me that. I mean people can play...

    Christ has already returned ?

    I understand that many here don’t share my view, but I want to speak honestly about where I stand. I believe in fulfillment — that Jesus kept His promise and returned to the generation He spoke to (Matthew 24:34). That conviction doesn’t damage my life or my faith. Yahavah has never struck me...

    Christ has already returned ?

    What are you expecting ? Answer me that. Just be honest and share ? Do you got another day when Jesus is supposed to to show up like alll the other failures in life have made? Then have to escape their first trangression and keep their cult going and stuff? What’s the reality for you...

    Christ has already returned ?

    I’m not here to fight anyone about Jesus or His return. At the end of the day, it’s simple: either He did what He said, or He didn’t. I can’t “prove” anything to satisfy someone else’s argument. What I do have is faith — faith that Jesus wasn’t a liar, and that He kept His word to the...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Yeah but we need the spirit. You can comment all day it doesn’t matter to me man. You up ignore my first retort. That’s very typical of people who want to fight. It’s stupid to fight. . I don’t want to fight. I’m just stating obvious things concerning your first mention. Thanks buddy! The...

    Christ has already returned ?

    For me, it’s like this. There are people who sincerely believe that the Kingdom will one day come to earth in a visible way — that Jesus will physically reign here for a period of time before the end finally arrives. Many of these people are genuine, God‑fearing believers, and I respect that...

    Christ has already returned ?

    You’re building an argument on category mistakes and then defending conclusions the text itself won’t support. 1. The equivocation on “world” (kosmos). You insist Jesus meant “world system,” but then use that to smuggle in a future geopolitical kingdom. Yet Jesus’ own contrast is between...

    Should I buy a sword?

    Just the fact people make it an issue is beyond me. If you wanna buy a sword do it. But be responsible and make sure if you have children they don’t hit each other with it unless it’s a fencing sword even then they have gear for that… lol…. People so up tight about guns it’s ridiculous if you...

    The Bible is an Idol???

    The Bible is not the mark of the beast. People just need to be reminded that it’s about living life in the spirit and the Bible just a guide to learn about the people of that time, learn about ourselves and learn what Jesus has brought for us to now live by today.

    Attempted beheading in Belfast, Ireland

    Happens a lot in Mexico. Cartel nothing to play with. People are wild and crazy especially when they are mad, holding on to grudges and jealous. Lot of that is culmation. Last report I heard about was a women who cut her boyfriends head off while using meth, and she had prior obsession with...

    The Bible is an Idol???

    People worship the Bible. More than the worship of God, same with some even worship the man behind the pulpit even. It’s plain and simple. I agree with you @Pearl. It’s the Spirit that’s primary living by the spirit and not by nessicarly knowledge itself. It’s just being resting in Jesus and...

    The Wages of Sin is Death, Jesus died a Death none other could.

    People hold on to sin-language because it gives them something to accuse, control, or condemn others with. It’s easier to point fingers than to stand honestly before the One they claim to serve. “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but ignore the plank in your own?” (Matthew...

    How much is petrol/gasoline in your area?

    41 $ dollars spent this morning full tank of gas. On normal low price 32$ i aint complaining its whatever. I think the sign read 3.75 this morning i didnt pay 100% attention. The price fluctuation happens all seasons of the year and depends on if any catastrophes have happened.

    Christ has already returned ?

    Then you have Peter proclaiming in Acts 2 that they were already living in the last days, which is fascinating. When the Spirit was poured out, Peter said, “This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days, I will pour out My Spirit…’” (Acts 2:16–17). He wasn’t pointing...

    Christ has already returned ?

    But I don’t know if they have or not. I don’t do it for my own benefit or theirs. I’m happy just to provide. I haven’t sat down and read revelation in idk two years, now. I know the arguments but alas everyone must choose for themselves.

    Christ has already returned ?

    No problem. People really do have to stop and question things for themselves, because at the end of the day it isn’t about me answering for anyone. Scripture constantly calls people to examine what they believe: “Test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). A lot of the...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Alright, that’s on you then. I can’t help if you’ve already made up your mind. No one gets to dictate another person’s faith — that belongs to you alone. Even God doesn’t force anyone to believe. He gives people the freedom to trust Him or to reject Him. Scripture says, ‘Choose you this day...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Hold up — do you accept anything I said earlier? If not, then bringing this up as though it overturns my point doesn’t really mean anything.

    Christ has already returned ?

    I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t hold to the idea that Jesus “came spiritually” in some vague or invisible sense. I believe He came just as He promised, and He was seen by the faithful who were watching, waiting, and looking, exactly like Hebrews describes. “To those who eagerly...
