    Why do people desire for the end times to be for today? Serious Inquirey

    How can one know what is from God unless they test it by the word of God... of course there is a lot that goes with those just few words. History, context, interpreting scripture with scripture, and of course relying on the Spirit.

    Why do people desire for the end times to be for today? Serious Inquirey

    Im to the point of realizing that people are going to believe what they want @Gottservant. Doesnt matter how many times I meet someone new who is like what, jesus already came? When and all that. I think it is best to know and remember to oneself “hey your gonna die; make the best with what you...

    Why do alot of Christian denominations have a problem with looking into the Past for the return of Christ?

    Some good resources to checking into history are, Cassio Dio, Tacitus, Suetonius, and Josephus incase anyone was wondering, I always tend to forget them. I cant help what peoples overall view is, some believe this world is gonna be free of darkness and evil; its just not true. Jesus paid for...

    Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

    Yes i believe the gospel reached the entire land surrounding Jerusalm, Paul proclaimed those at rome their faith had been proclaimed to the world at large or something like that. Youll have to go research those things for yourself. I get tired of going through it all the time. I really just need...

    Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

    Oh. I believe all those things done happened. Was reading Ezekiel, 5-9 the other day it reminded me of the destruction of Jerusalem reported by Josephus, back in ancient days. Most people have a problem with that. Thank you for the questions.

    Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

    @Truthnightmare, what do you mean by “whats happening now is by design?” What is happening? Does it relate to the last days? Just curious to know that is all.

    Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

    They are happening. Based on individuals doing the actions. I watch a lot of police interragations, and have reviewed many murderous people and corrupt police and those who get caught for child pornography (chris hanson.) Individuals plan and orchestrate things to get their own way… its no...

    Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

    The only time anyone can try to prevent anything is if they catch wind of it, and report it to the police. What would you say? Tom Clancy it?

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Hello Tommy Cool, I just do not believe the whole speaking an entire language like they did in that day is possible anymore, unless someone learns it, that is all. That is what I am talking about what ceased. I also do not believe in the laying on the hands of people and healing them. 1...

    Why do alot of Christian denominations have a problem with looking into the Past for the return of Christ?

    Hello Earburner, Okay, thank you for sharing. We have had discussions before, and do see some things differently, that is okay! I do not know anything about "church-ianity." Always glad to see you and others that I have talked to over the years come and go. Hope all is well.

    Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

    Happens. What can you do when a person runs up in a Mosaic and guns down people at church? It's sad that people got hurt and died. It happens. What can you do about it? Change gun laws and what not? People get drugs off the street, without having to go to a pharmacy, in any country really...

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    Hello ScottA, That is why it is so important for people to study. Study to show thyself approved of God, not to man. In the end the study should reveal the importance of loving God, and loving others, and the difference between the 'tree of life' (Jesus Christ on the Cross, and resurrection)...

    What do the words mean to you?

    Thank you for your response, something you said about Paul reminds me of what his prayer was for the people that he so loved, and did all he could to encourage. Philippians 1:9-11 New Living Translation (NLT)I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing...

    Since more children and people have been killed by Israel than in the terrorist attack, should they stop?

    Suffering in peoples lives are all different - it's good to be cautious as a person who believes in God in what they could say especially to an unbeliever. Going around and saying well it was Gods will for people to die, might be a little to much and a far stretch. When someone has a brother or...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Some type of change of heart, which comes by the spirit. ( I dont believe tongues still exist today Paul mentioned they would cease in 1 Corinthians 13.) Deuteronomy 30:6 Young's Literal Translation 6 `And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah...
