I see you make all kinds of smart aleck remarks to people that dare to disagree with you, so I thought you'd enjoy that!.

Wasn't mocking anything... just posting facts.

Typically, "Gnarly" is considered to be Remarkable or outstanding so I probably need to come up with a different moniker for the false teacher Charles Stanley.

"I know you are but what am I."

Fantastic

I've never watched or listened to Mr. Osteen (and I ain't gonna start now), but a friend of mine watches him religiously. (Pun intended.) I will say this: When my friend called in asking for prayer when her mother died, and again when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, his organization prayed for her and followed up later to see how she was doing.
Someone can be nice, while still being very deceived, deceptive, and promoting lies. Osteen's doctrine is severely flawed. Just because someone uses His name doesn't mean they are preaching the Jesus of the Bible.

Interestingly, my mother was raised in his dad's church before he was a big name.

Well, that's fine for you but I prefer to assume the Daniel 9 intercessory model.

But as long as your garments are spotless, no worries, I guess.

.
oh for sure we must be praying for them . But the them are even now within christendom itself .
They did much work transforming the churches from within . Till now about most all of christendom
no longer knows what is true christanity , what it has lost or that IT IS LOST . Its not looking good giller .
But when folks choose the love that cometh of the world , they will be doomed .
Satan can and does quoate scrips and you can bet he is a master of using the word love and tolerance
TO UNEQUALLY yoke them together . NOT looking good barney . ITs just not looking good at all .
BUT we were warned of what the days would be like , and specially nigh the end .
A HINT , NO GREAT AWAKENING is mentioned , A GREAT FALLING AWAY IS ....................and boy the devil
knows how to decieve . FOR HE USES the word love a lot . So too do his ministirs as they guide
the churches into greater and greater , greater and much greater darkness
and the masses SEE and THINK , THIS IS LIGHT . OH Dear .

You better go read your Bible, Amigo. It's full of revivals. You're focusing all your attention on the darkest parts of end-time prophecy when the Bible is full of historical illustrations of how it will play out.

Isaiah 58
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

And Joel 2 and Malachi 4

Numerous warnings concerning people falling away from the faith in the last days... which is the falling away that has been going on for decades and will only result in more falling away the closer we get to the great tribulation

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


Jesus says few find salvation so He doesn't seem to think there are going to be great endtimes revivals that will sweep the majority of the world's population in to God's Kingdom (some of the charismatic preachers teach this)

That is what i was trying to remind ol barnes about . Sure i know some souls will still be getting saved in these last hours
but the falling away will continue to get only worse . MAINSTREAM has drowned the peoples in its own river of delusion .
We must make our last stand to contend for the true faith . cause mainstream is headed down the stream without a paddle
or should i say bible . just flowing in the great broad ever widening river having no idea that its leading them as
one right to the largest waterfall of all that cometh at the end of that river .

The path is definitely getting wider!
WAY WIDER . its got rainbows , korans , athiest , all religoins as considered valid ways to GOD . ITS GOT VERY VERY BROAD .
the path to destruction is VERY INCLUSIVE INDEED , it holds wide open arms to all with a false promise
of a jesus that honors sins and other paths . THEY WONT MAKE IT MY FRIEND . but they think its GODS HUGE LOVE .

How does it enter into the church . By first giving out the idea we need to tone down correction .
Quit brow beating it says , quit judging . And leaven allowed uncorrected transforms the minds into ITS ACCEPTANCE .
SO allow me some parting words to those who wanna hear and heed ol smily joe
and his positive so called message . IT DONT WORK . it simply allows leaven to increase and in time leads right to its acceptance .

In order for the devil to get people to buy in to his malarkey, he's got to trick people in to believe speaking scripture to people to reprove error is offensive and racist (or whatever politically correct jargon is used these days), as well as get people to accept the devil's mantra "judge not!" and ignore that Jesus said to judge a righteous judgement.

The only way to judge a righteous judgement is to let God's Word be the judge by comparing what is being taught to what God says in His Word.

Most religious social clubs (churches) these days will very swiftly give you the left foot of fellowship if you don't lock step nazi style with whatever it is they teach.

I belonged to a church once where the pastors from the pulpit would tell people if they don't believe "like we do" then they should leave right now and go find another church! So that's what I did as well as numerous others cause these folks hirelings not true shepherds.

God never allows an apostasy with no corresponding revival. Sooner or later you'll have to acknowledge God's 7000.

The remnant is of the Israelites.
It is what is left of a community.
Too many today are still trying to live under the laws for the Jews instead of under grace.

Christ has no " remnant".
1 Peter 2:9
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
We are his body, his bride his church and are not scattered as his nation was.

Romans 11: 1-5

11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. *****For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.******
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(Those who accept Christ, of Israel.)

Acts 2:16-21
[16]But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
[17]And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
[18]And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
[19]And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
[20]The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
[21]And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.


Peter quoted from Joel chapter 2, saying... "In the last days." It only makes sense that the "last days" began at Pentecost and are still going. Only now, we are in the last of the last days ....End Times.
