    Coincidences? Or Time to WATCH be READY for the Day and Hour Is Near

    Well, some have perceived that this New World Order _ in control now_ who dictated lockdowns, masks, vaccines since Covid19 was released, was a socialist NWO exercise of power worldwide, preparing us for total submission to come, when the mark of the Beast is enforced. The Rider on the First...

    Time no longer.

    Authority in heaven and on earth and sitting next to The Father is reigning from heaven. But He is coming to judge and then to physically reign in Jerusalem as king on earth with all Christian nations under his reign. Are you an Amillennialist? If so the following scriptures will have a...

    Rev. 11:15 may be the last trumpet, the rapture, I'm not sure though.. Look at the events that surround it: >Mystery of God is revealed (We see Him and also receive new bodies) >The Kingdoms of the earth become the Lord's, His reign begins >There is worship and thanksgiving >Judgement of the...

    Coincidences? Or Time to WATCH be READY for the Day and Hour Is Near

    There is some symbolic significance if it isn't just saying that God created time for man but operates outside our time Garviria.Christian figured that the year 6000 was 2026, so the TWO WITNESSES will be showing up next month ON April 6. I believe the Riders on the Four Horses in Rev. 6...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Hold on. Would God be fair to judge someone who never heard about Jesus? He judges them based on what they know. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Being in the Body of Christ is quite an exclusive group. I feel special, loved. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    >> I am not a Calvinist!<< You read all the verses pertaining to predestination, nut you don't really accept them. The verses seem to contradict man's "free will". But they are there and true. He predestines those He chose to be saved according to His foreknowledge. We cannot conceive of God's...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    That is true. He is fair. He calls all, and that is what He tells us to do, spread the Gospel to all. We cooperate with this drawing. But not all hear, only His sheep and many resist and reject it. And so the responsibility is ours.

    Acts 2:17-19 can anyone share their visions in the last days

    Context is key concerning this Acts reference to Joel 2. Joel 2:1, 15, 23, 32 refer the children of Zion, Jerusalem ( a remnant of the Jews). The end times is described, the Great Tribulation. See Romans 11 to understand that God will open their eyes and they (a remnant of the Jews that is)...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Okay, nit I am not sure what part of God's plan you are objecting to? Everyrhing happens for a reason. ( Romans 8:28) Well let's see: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 "Does not...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    One can say life itself is a closed system controled by God. He is sovereign. He ordains who will and won't be His sheep, He prepares the heart to receive light and He converts the the dead spirit into a living spirit. The system is set up for us to know good and evil, (light and darkness). We...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    The word for charity is translated as love. The missing parts to the equation that physicists can't get are outside the physical realm.Their quantum mechanics theorum, for instance is guesswork. The spontaneous generation of life has them puzzled. They infer that their are as many as 11...

    I think the "end of faith" is coming for everyone. For Christians, they won't need faith in heaven because that which had been unseen (God and heaven and their eternal bodies), will be a reality. For unbelievers, if they do not receive faith sometime in their lives, their fate will be sealed at...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    I agree with most of what you said except for the words in bold. I take most of the Bible literally, but can also distinquish from what was intended to be symbolic. Actually I believe the world could not contain OR understand all that Jesus did, since I believe He is the CREATOR. To describe how...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Right, humankind and nature itself _ once perfect _ have been moving towards less order, accumulating more and more imperfections (mutations which are essentially defects). And the universe itself is winding down.

    A book is composed of natural ingredients except for the ideas and thoughts communicated in organized sentences, paragraphs, with rules of grammar, etc. Where did the ideas come from? An author! They just didn't evolve. Likewise, life has order and design, it did not just evolve. It must have a...

    @Romanov2488 A good book is "A Case For Faith" by Lee Strobel, a former atheist _ award winning, investigative journalist, who sought out to disprove God and Jesus but was shocked to discover the overwhelming evidence and is now a Christian. He also wrote , "A Case For Christ". "Evidence That...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Yes, and I do think those are critical, judgmental people who look for differences beyond those fundamentals and focus on them rather than finding peace and common faith. And they have warred against eachother too. We are passionate about faith. It seems any little difference we see and off we...

    It all started with God, the Creator. He's got a monopoly on everything that is good, because He is the source. And hope is a good thing.

    Depression and feeling like you're stuck in the pit of despondency and can't get out happens. A famous psychoanalyst was asked the question: "If you were so depressed even to the point of being suicidal, what would you do?" He said, " I would get my focus off myself and go out and help someone...
