    We have been lied to | The Church is not the bride! ??? Say what?

    He is an angry man, filled with contempt. I wouldn't listen to guys like this. You need to see the "Fruit of the Spirit" in a preacher, a teacher and any Christian: love, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness, patience, goodness, faith, self control. You use that measuring stick to then evaluate his...

    How LONG will God stand for this world’s INSANITY?

    Until Jesus crushed his head when He died and rose from the dead, then the Father gave all authority was to Him. Satan gets a brief return to power for 3 1/2 years soon.

    How LONG will God stand for this world’s INSANITY?

    Right, Trump isn 't the Savior as some may think. No, the country and world are not curable by any man. All he did was postpone the inevitable. To make America great again is unattainable; it's too far out-of reach. The forces of evil are deeply imbedded in the system, corrupting everything...

    How LONG will God stand for this world’s INSANITY?

    In the end times, Satan not only persecutes Israel, but also the Church. I think this NWO will steal the election again. They will take extreme measures to disallow Trump from being president. ??? Arresting him and/or convicting him before this was plan A. But they have plan B. The movie that...

    Evolution is a wrong idea if you believe in creation IMO

    Because it is not a physical mutation/defect. It is not in our genes - though they try to find a gay gene, they fail. God designed man and woman to mate. He did not make a mistake with creation. Since the mind is not physical, neither are your thoughts, therefore actions are not based on your...

    A small rapture?

    A false misrepresentation. I am retired and read 4-5 hours/day ... even posts I learn nothing from. Did you read the quotes from John MacAthur and RC Sproul? No, I guess yoi reject their scholarship as you did most "Christianity"? A wrong perspective. God calls his sheep, who are unbelievers at...

    A small rapture?

    Maybe your concept of "all sin" is lacking something important. All sin means past present AND future sins. So it is an ongoing process. Spiritually cleansed completely and daily from there on. Sanctification means we are set apart, but also the " being transformed into the likeness of Christ"...

    A small rapture?

    The point in all of this that I was trying to make is that we, as Christians, are not perfect and though we have been cleansed and forgiven, we still sin. If you did not sin and loved God with all your might and soul and strength and loved tour neighbor as yourself you would be perfect. I...

    A small rapture?

    Absolutely, those who put their faith in Christ are cleansed - spiritually. BUT WE STILL DEAL WITH THE FLESH and the flesh wars against the spirit. We are a new creature and I believe it's a done deal, OSAS. If we died suddenly at any moment, we would separate from our bodies, ascend to heaven...

    A small rapture?

    So are the two commandments that Jesus gave ( that all other commandments fall under), to love God and love your neighbor not laws? You have not reached an understanding of Romans 7. Paul struggled with the flesh. It warred against his spirit. But I see another law in my members, warring...

    A small rapture?

    "Centered" is a good term. Prone to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh is often encouraged. Being a former slave to sin, I didn't know what sin was and so was acting naturally, bent towards fulfilling the various lusts with some restraint, without being a savage, endulging in any one thing...

    A small rapture?

    So you are one who believes as a true born again Christian, you can't sin. You went to the wrong church. Well, technically where there is no LAW, there is no sin. But Christ didn't abolish the LAW as in the Ten Commandments. The Law was a Pedagogue. We don't one, for now the Law is written in...

    A small rapture?

    I agreed with much of your post ... but there always seems to be something a little off. Jesus is the Head of the Body as in Our Authority, the person in charge. It's just a phrase we apply often similar to head of a company, head of the houshold, etc. Jesus is Superior over the angels. He is...

    A small rapture?

    Understanding of the truth about any of end time events will eventually filter through when they soon unfold before your eyes - if you are still around. Either way, I am confident you will see things more clearly.

    A small rapture?

    Wrong again. There are two resurrections for believers, one before the MK and the second resurrection after. ( Rev.20:4-5)

    A small rapture?

    Without form and void means just like a lump of clay with no life. Look at any of the other planets. They are round; but there's nothing really interesting about them, void. Then think of all the beauty on the earth. Quite a masterful design, from without form (design) and void to what we see...

    A small rapture?

    We are "no different" in the act of sin. If we do the same as a non- believer who lies, steals, covets or chooses not to love someone in need, isn't it still a sin for us? We are sinners - who have been forgiven because we believe in Christ. John MacArthur quote above is applicable to this. We...

    A small rapture?

    We have been born again, spiritually resurrected yet we did not physically die nor have we received a new resurrected eternal body like Jesus has [speaking of our "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet" change.] "In sanctification, God, working especially by the Holy...

    A small rapture?

    The "beginning" is the starting point of the physical Universe, not where He dwells. That first sentence is an introduction to what is created in Genesis 1-3 : earth, light, sun, moon, stars, botanicals, fish, insects, animals, Adam and Eve. Genesis does not speak of His residence - or do you...
