    Are you here to convert people?

    Good question! No, I personally am not here, or consider it my gift or calling, to "convert" anyone. What I am here for is rather along the lines of my God-given gift and calling, which is to bring an end to what has falsely been sold as life and the lies that have even corrupted the Church...

    Does God judge generations, individuals, or both?

    Those verses include both sides, both heaven and earth. Those generational sins speak of what can be expected in this world, and yet ultimately, though suffering exist within the world, iniquities are only individual in the eternal judgement. This is what is meant by "rightly dividing the word...

    Meaning of This Generation Will Not Pass Away Until All These Things Take Place

    This is all good information...but is there ever to be any greater time of tribulation than was placed upon Christ [at that time]? There is none, for all tribulation was placed upon Him, and all other tribulation is only a part.

    List of Totally and Partially Omitted Passages in the Modern Translations

    That is quite the list, and certainly nothing should ever be left out. Good job! Even so (regardless), with or without, it has been said that the gospel is told in every book of the Bible. The point being...that God's word is His providence, and not that of men.

    Meaning of This Generation Will Not Pass Away Until All These Things Take Place

    James, Jesus identified "this generation" as "when you" (those to whom He was speaking) "see", and, "When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!" The question then...

    Post Your Time Line

    "Before the foundation of the world", all things are/were in Christ. And this, this is just the revealing of it all over the created media known as time, wherein there is no actual timeline (like the events written in a book).

    The Orthodox Preterist versus the Heretical Dispensationalist

    My dislike of 'isms and calling them man's doing, is simply the fact that men have separated or categorized would-be people of God for their own need for compartmentalized organization before seeing the same as one body or an orchestration made by God to do the same but as one. In other words...

    Our words mean alot to others

    Kindness is of course the best default position for a Christian in all circumstances. The same is true with family and children. However, that is not to say that the belt should never come out, or that tough love when called for is not to be considered love also. In fact we should have no...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    This is a great topic that should indeed be seriously looked at--objectively. The reason to look at this topic and ask these types of questions is that it is a biblical fact that "there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies" 2 Peter 2:1. In addition...

    I think I finally lost my faith

    You are under the wrong impression. Life in this world is not the measure of what is to be, but is the measure of what was (before the foundation of the world--before we were even born). As such, this is the revelation of all that was before the Judgement. This is our last will and...

    The Orthodox Preterist versus the Heretical Dispensationalist

    That's a lot of 'isms. In fact so many that it is hard to determine just what it is that you are trying to say. Best I can figure is that you are against the idea of dispensationalism. But then, not being a fan of 'isms, I am not sure I even know what that even means-- which is not to say that I...

    ‘Saved by grace’ is probably the biggest Christian nonsense

    You are right to make your every statement above a question...because clearly you do not understand. The things that are made manifest in this world are not the result of God's "need", but are a revelation of all things good and evil in an act by God to "divide" the good from the evil. And yes...

    Women's rule or men abdicating their God commanded role?

    The purpose of gender before God, is one purpose. God created mankind male and female as a demonstration or "image" of Himself, showing that mankind was taken out of God to be His helpmate. Thus, it is only the role of men and women to show forth that image that God has purposely caused as a...

    Baptized Into Christ, Rightly Divided Summary...

    It's simpler than that really. Water baptism is like water birth (that is being born of women and of the flesh). Then John the Baptist said that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit. Jesus then explained that spiritual baptism required being born again of the spirit of God, which was and...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    We don't...and that is not the purpose of the local or greater church. The purpose is simply to spread the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to equip the saints for good works.

    Most Everyone Has Now Received the Mark of the Beast, Because it is Paper Money and Fiat Currency

    Money certainly is a big deal and is a part of much that is now happening. However, it is not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast is not a physical thing, but spiritual. It is the spirit of anti-Christ, of which many (most) have partaken of. The evidence of which is revealed, but only...

    He is indeed, "very enthusiastic." But his Original Post here reveals the greater truth of his mental state. He is obviously very troubled (to put it nicely). :( Helen's advise was right on.

    The Goalposts of Understanding All Move!

    Indeed, comprehension is the problem. Yours. I never claimed that "the Israelites will be rejected", but stated rather the historical fact that they had rejected Jesus.

    The Goalposts of Understanding All Move!

    Jesus made His corrections before Israel of what was foretold of the times to come, but was rejected. At which point He told them assuredly speaking to those alive at the time, saying "you", that "this generation" (their generation) would see "all these things come to pass." But they did not...
