    Evil under the sun- hour of darkness

    "And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power."(Rev.9.2-3)

    Power and authority given to man determines whose servant is he. The risen Christ declares,"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."(Mt.28.18)By the same token the devil gives power so when the Jews apprehended Jesus refers the hour as their power of darkness. The angel shows locusts upon the earth, from the same place that the beast ascends."the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them."(Rev.11.7). The devil sins from the beginning so we have several instances of the smoke out of a furnace."a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace." Here is a verse to indicate this power of darkness in the case of the Israelites. "And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly." (Exod.19.18) God descends from mount Zion as Jesus Christ shall manifest, "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." The golden calf was the work of the devil. Mount Sinai was altogether in a dither because of the prsence of the Lord God. The Spirit contrasts pictorially so "the devils also believe, and tremble."(Jas.2.19) Farther than that God acknowledge Abraham as the heir of promise so receives his sacrifice. But in the background,"And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace." The power of darkness was from the very beginning. It is charactised by one hour." The dispensationalist would still gloss over it with a new heart as applied to the house of Israel. Ez.36. 26-27

    Think of the heavenly place in the world of the Spirit as the house tops an while your heart serves as the closet. It is thus two congregations make up the kingdom of God built up on the foundation of Jesus Christ whose ministry of reconciliation shall bring "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." So fullness of God in Christ shall every child of God carry while on earth. Without it what are the several sects and denominations churning out of their Bible schools?

    Evil under the sun- The house

    "Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops."( Lk 12..3)

    Think of the heavenly place in the world of the Spirit as the house tops an while your heart serves as the closet.

    Here is a Michtam of David. "Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?"(Ps.58.1) The wolves in sheep clothes teach doctrine of Christ in such manner that Christianity is nothing compared to the body of Christ, as St Paul delineate,"That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."(Eph.5.27)

    Compare house tops with the lintel which the Spirit presents as how God looks from his throne in heaven. Revelation presents the golden altar, "And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne."(Rev.8.3) The same altar as seen by Amos gives us the judgment aspect over the congregation of the dead which is what imposter churches embody. The body of death qualifes them for holding truth in unrighteousness. St Paul asks: "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"(Rom.7.23)

    "I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered./Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down." The devil casts one third of the stars so'though they climb up to heaven' it is in vain.

    Evil under the sun-2

    "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known." The Bible gives us an instance in and he(the king of Aram) called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?"( 2 Kgs 6.11-12) There is a great congregation in the world of the Spirit, tagged by 144 meaning they are witnesses to what we do here is our body. So each one of us is representing them*. So the man who says he is standing on his own two feet casts a shadow nevertheless, not in a manner he has control over it. This is where Bible schools everywhere has failed miserable when they began teaching the word of God along the sectarian lines.

    If anyone is a new creation where is he seated? He is seated in that great congregation. He is seated with Christ and and our works do follow and it is how we live in faith while in our vile bodies.Calvinist schools teach limited Atonement and Dispensationalists teach rapture ad nauseam. So how crooked a shadow the man casts we saw from an example in the war on terror in 2003. What a mess to which white Evangelicals had a part and still has.

    So what is really the book of Revelation is all about? It is revealed to every one who rightly divide the word of truth. Instead the man interpretation it is plain that these souls are under bondage of false teachers. They are not free agents but like puppets.

    How we stand for truth is counted in the great congregation. Are you preaching righteousness, brethren? Ps.40,9-10

    " have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest./I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation."

    * Rom 5.12,15With one man's sin the whole world has become sinful while with Christ's obedience it is open for all to abide in truth.

    Hello S. Spencer,

    I don't think I need to name any one person here as there have been a number of people who have engaged me on this topic over the past few years.

    I appreciate your response to me here and I will certainly consider all that you have mentioned here about me. I do remember saying to you early on on this topic that I had not come to a firm position on eschatology. And, yes, I did say that I do not believe as dispensationalist do because no one can cite any Scripture that definitely says there will be a Rapture. If you know of such Scriptures, I would welcome knowing them so I can study them to see if the Rapture as dispensationalist teach is truly taught in Scripture.

    As to the remainder of what you have stated about me here, I will pass on responding. May we both come to knowledge of the truth on this matter.

    In Ezekiel 13 V20 is says:

    Wherefore thus said the lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

    To me this sounds like we are not going to be raptured up. In Acts ch2 V 20-25 it talks about the holy spirit coming to our flesh bodies and prophesy with the holy spirit in our bodies. In Mark 13 V11 and V21&22 also in 2nd thessolonians V1-4 and V8&9 and finally Mathew 24 V20-25.

    Does this sound like there is no rapture and the holy spirit going to be in our body (if we accept him to protect us) to bear witness against Satan and his followers against what they are doing here on earth?

    Then when Jesus comes then everyone will be taken up to be judged for the final judgment for eternity.

    Okay, Bennymjke,

    You quoted part of one of my posts and completely twisted it and accused me something I did not do. I have never, nor would I ever compare anyone with Christ. How you come to that conclusion is beyond me. I pray that no one else takes my words the same as you have. What you quoted from me has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus coming down from heaven. Perhaps if you read the entire post, you might be able to figure out what I was trying to present. You seem to be an intelligent individual, so I see no need to further clarify what I wrote. I see nothing amiss and nothing in my post that I should change. If you're the only one offended, then I've done well!

    Mr. Thomas,

    From your picture I've seen online, you look like a nice person. And by the way, I do like the big bushy moustache. It looks good on you! However, they say that looks can be deceiving, and you have been rude not only to me, but also to others in this forum. No one here deserves to be belittled or torn down the way you have done, so maybe it's you who needs to "knock it off," not me. In a separate post from you, you told me that I need to learn to rightly divide the word of truth. Well, if that means to divide it the same way you do and post things that cannot be understood, as you do, then I say no thanks! I will stick with and be happy with what little the Lord gives me.

    Regardless of what you might think, I have the same Spirit of Christ in me that you have in you, and it is His Spirit that leads me to treat others in this forum with kindness and respect, not with such rudeness that you have displayed with folks here.

    Jesus says in Revelation 3:20," Behold, I have stood at the door and I am knocking. If anyone should hear My voice and should open the door, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with Me."

    What a beautiful piece of scripture, a verse not to be confused with what you quoted me on!

    Discussion on the Rapture

    Although I have not read any corroborating evidence; I would say that what I heard from a sister online is probably true. Apparently there is some new "2 state solution" concept that Netanyahu is considering; and this will correspond with an expanding Abraham Accord of nations with Syria and Lebanon likely candidates along with the Saudis.

    If this is true our days are numbered before the Rapture; although the Lord could still forestall things and allow for a relative peace for a time. This seems to be a possibility as we see that peace is taken from the earth in the 2nd Seal; and given that Thessalonians warns us of peace when there is no peace as a mantra this may be just conjecture.

    Preparing for the Rapture sounds like a good plan; but we in this nation have not lived the trials and tribulations already experienced by much of the true church in other nations. The Rapture will enable physical escape for all believers; of course whether they have suffered decades from persecution or it is a relatively novel concept. We of course have no idea what will transpire before the Rapture; or if indeed some of Revelation such as 17 and 18 could refer to our country and some of it at least chronologically not synced as it appears; hence our nation in theory could be wiped out even before that. I tend to think that isn't the case but no doubt we are in treacherous times and many dangers await. Again we all need to do due diligence in preparations for ourselves and others in these days of uncertainly.

    As to the nation of Israel as a whole it seems they are enlightened only after the Rapture. I suspect that is the case for a number of others as well. Some will understand after we're gone that although the Antichrist seems to start off as a peaceful man he will be discerned by the wise as Daniel 12 indicates; but all others will remain blinded to that fact. Let us for now not be in the way of God being seen working in us.

    Part two: How will AI be used for the Mark of the Beast

    In this posting; I am continuing to say that AI appears to be a tool assisting the Antichrist deception but along with computer chips under the skin; as I stated earlier I believe some genetic transformation will be promised to be able to be immortal like the Antichrist. That will likely come from the concept that the king of the Abyss mentioned earlier will be the one who will perhaps inhabit this Beast; although Satan will be the one empowering him as God allows it at that time.

    In terms of imaginary landscapes and fantasy worlds; we are no doubt largely there at this point as far as living in a dream world where we are somehow able to summon gods or genies through the joystick or other means so that we get the dopamine fix as to whatever sick fantasy we desire. Basically that leaves us no better than rats in a lab; or the preverbal "Pavlov's dog" state where we have a reward based on routine and expected behaviors. That is the sad reality of all this.

    Nonetheless; Antichrist demands actual worship even if he uses technology somehow with the "Mark" to enforce a death penalty remotely as the verses seem to suggest. No one is going to pretend to get the mark to survive; allegiance has to be given to the Beast through worship first as a prerequisite. This is why we don't need to concern ourselves before the time of being tricked into getting this mark; as it will be very clear that Satan is the one who is receiving the worship at that time. This is why the woman on the Beast ends abruptly (see Revelation 17:16-18). Hence all false and true religion will be terminated with only worship of the Beast allowed.

    I would also surmise that the judgments by God will eliminate what is left of the power grid; thus there will be no more time for fantasy games and such. That is again why solar powered technology with the mark makes sense to me.

    I welcome any comments on the subject.

    Another look at AI

    A friend of mine at small group made an interesting test of AI recently; in this case asking a political question (as to who was the worst president) and getting what he considered spurious information. He does agree with me that on searching for Bible verses or even cobbling together scriptural things for a sermon it seems amazingly true what is found with AI. There can be only one conclusion to this as we know that most of those designing it certainly would not skew it towards a Christian mindset. That is the fact that man has to try quite hard to twist the clear meanings of scriptures with all the associated cross references to come up with the excuses to live deviant lifestyles of sin; however you slice it.

    We are getting close to the time when there will be no atheists; as the 6th Seal Judgment in Revelation makes quite clear. The enemy knows this as well. To explain away AI as a tool of an atheist agenda isn't going there way even now since there is no good way to disprove whatever Christ said in the Bible through AI; although it may not dogmatically state that it is absolute truth either.

    In terms of the coming mark of the Beast; it is clear therefore that more than just technology and science will be involved. The ultimate force it appears from scripture will be the prophesied survival of the fatal wound both mentioned in Revelation 13 as well as Zechariah 11:17 states of the "worthless shepherd". Immortality; no doubt will be on the minds of those who cannot die during the 5th Trumpet judgment and the torment inflicted by demons for 5 months. That will be bolstered by that event ending and the two witnesses apparently overcome and killed at that time; explaining the verse "who is like the beast and who can make war with him ( Rev. 13:4).

    I have conjectured that the darkness in Rev. 16:10 means that solar power will be used as the energy source for the mark; which could explain the sores on the skin.

    Rev.11.8-11 "Three days and an half" (2 of 2)

    Their ascension shall be seen by the ungodly world which explains that heart of man is a spiritual place. "He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works."(Ps.33.15) This is set down by the Spirit. Merely because the god of this world has closed their eye of faith does not mean it is false. They have been dupes of Satan, that is all. We are connected to heaven as St John heard, " which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter./And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. (Rev.4.1-3)The people and kindreds and tongues shall suffer in the sense of a bad conscience, an explicable sense of doom but it is being played out a motion picture, images reels after reels being flashed in mind's eye, the Raven of Poe could be an example for comparison.

    v.10 explains what the ungodly drown out their intense loathing and sense of loss by drunken binge. These lost souls call it 'making merry'. The morning hangover or amnesia come later." And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth."

    v.11"And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them," Resurrection occurs in waves. The first fruits is already form a large congregation, 144,000 on mount Sion is different from 144,000 as firebrand plucked out of fire. " is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel./And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment." Compare this change of raiment "And white robes were given unto every one of them;" (Zec.3. 1-4; Rev.6.11).

    Rev.11.8-11 "Three days and an half" (1 of 2)

    " And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."

    The two witnesses represent heaven and the earth respectively. Thus we have POV of God whose eye does not miss a single thing.

    "The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men./From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth."(Ps.33.13-14). God a Spirit is invisible while Jesus Christ is the visible image and the heaven or the firmament is a sign . Jesus Christ is the True and Faithful witness is the eye. "Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father."( Jn 6.46). The above mentiones Psalm there refers to him." and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report."(Gen.37.2) When Joseph brought an evil report to his father the Spirit inserts this line in order to instruct us of the Father Son relationship in heaven to which Joseph as the heir of promise fits as his double in earth.

    "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves." (v.9)

    In order to understand let us examine Rev.6.9-11 "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:/And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?/And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." This explains the saying of Jesus where martyrs, including his own from Abel to these 'two witnesses' hear the call, 'come up hither'(v.12)
  • Submiracle - 10 months ago
    Psalm 92 beautifully illustrates a timeless truth: those who are deeply rooted in a relationship with God will flourish in every area of life. To be "planted in the house of the Lord" isn't about attending services, though that's important. It's about cultivating a vibrant, personal connection with Him through consistent prayer, study of His Word, and heartfelt worship.

    As we nurture this inner life, something remarkable happens. Just as a healthy tree bears abundant fruit, our lives begin to overflow with God's goodness. This overflow isn't contained within us; it spills out into our "courts" - our families, workplaces, churches, and communities. Our ministry, our service, our very lives become a testament to His grace and power.

    In the New Testament age, this principle remains true. When we prioritize seeking God first, when we abide in Him as branches on the vine, we are empowered to shine His light into the world. A strong, personal relationship with God isn't just a private matter; it's the very source of our effectiveness in serving others and building up His Church.

    Today, take time to deepen your roots. Spend time in prayer, read His Word, and allow His love to fill you. As you do, trust that He will empower you to flourish, not for your own glory, but for His.

    #1 A believer who says 'I stand on my two feet should check if he is not casting a crooked shadow. Man is not sum total of several members one sees, his works do follow as a former POTUS who knocking out Saddam in Iraq made a big blunder. The mess you see today is a direct result of his foolish action. In 2005 he said, God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq.' Now we have bunker buster bombs dropped over nuclear sites in Iran as one would plop sugar cubes in one''s coffee. This is how so many crooked shadows cast by nation blaspheme the holy name of God.

  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply - 10 months ago
    Jesse,

    Thanks, brother. I also value what you share, along with others on this site. In Revelation, John is shown many visions that reveal upcoming events. In chapter 5, we see God sitting on the throne, holding a scroll with seven seals. These seals are locks that must be opened to reveal God's plan and judgments. Only one is worthy to hold and break these seals-Jesus, who takes the scroll from God's right hand. God giving the scroll from His right hand can symbolize the authority God has given to Jesus.

    Jesus is the only one who holds and opens this scroll. As Jesus opens each seal, part of the scroll is rolled out, revealing prophetic events in God's plan that will happen. Do these events occur immediately after Jesus opens it, or is it just a prophecy of what is to come? We see overlaps in the revelation of these same events in the trumpets and bowls. This is one scroll with seven seals; it is not broken apart when each seal is opened, and it remains in Jesus' hand until all is revealed.

    So, my understanding of the book in chapter 10 is that it describes another small scroll with the word of God. John is later to prophesy to many, whether that is recorded in Revelation or yet to come. The scroll in chapter 5 mentions that only Jesus is worthy to hold and open it; no other being is even able to touch it.

    Thank you for covering what you have covered. We all should be inspired to study; that is a good thing.

    God bless,

    RLW

    3. It would be hard to know the Mind of the LORD & His Plan in progressive revelation to mankind (specifically Israel). My heart tells me that OT Israel needed only to know God (Yahweh) Who loved them dearly & would bless them beyond measure. But their obedience & faithfulness to Him was paramount. If Israel knew only so much of God but served Him well, by exercising faith in Him & His Promises ( Hebrews 11) they would be blessed, yet we know why & how they suffered because of their disobedience & idolatrous practises.

    Though God did not reveal to them what we know today of His full Nature (His tripartite Being), they did have sufficient prophetical words given them to tell them of a coming One. But would they understand, accept, & through a rather opaque lens, perceive Who God was in His Fullness? Some then may have had an inkling but I think that God planned that they should wait till His Son be sent to be the manifestation of Himself on Earth. And clearly, to some the "penny dropped" & they rejoiced in the Truth & fulfillment of prophecy. And Jesus Himself spoke of this ( Luke 24:25-27). And this ignorance (i.e. the lack of understanding of the coming Christ of God) to what was revealed by Jesus then & by His Spirit now, would definitely not only cause confusion, but also anger & hatred in those who remain blinded to the revelation of the true God & His Son. But the day will come when they will come to Truth ( Zechariah 12:9,10; Revelation 1:7). Blessings.

    Thanks for your feedback CrossTalker.

    1. I agree, it is difficult to reconcile this offering of money with one's atonement (at least the protection from any plague). And it would be very difficult to believe that money could ever be made for any atonement. So apart from it being used for the service of the tabernacle & the altar, by which Israel was covered by sacrificial blood, such a monetary offering by all might be the catalyst to real abiding faith when obedience to the Lord was absolutely necessary in every part of their lives. Or else, the deuterocanonical book Tobit 12:9 & Tobit 14:10,11 (concerning almsgiving for prevention of death) offers some credibility; to which books btw, I do not subscribe to.

    2. Yes, words such as 'unicorn, let, and charity', are terms no longer used in the same manner/understanding as they probably were in the 17th Century AD, where the fabled unicorn in particular was the appropriate word given to what was supposed to be such a ferocious beast. My lexicon narrative on this, referencing Deuteronomy 33:17 in part, "His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his HORNS ARE LIKE THE HORNS OF UNICORNS: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth", tells me (in part): "Older English versions sometimes rendered the term "unicorn," reflecting a possible single-horned variety such as the Arabian oryx". So, the various manuscript texts referred to as well as understanding the original languages & applying the correct word/meaning to it, would characterize the final outcome (i.e. the various Bible versions published & words used). In that way, some of our modern versions would more accurately use language we're more familiar with than those older forms & expressions.

    Rev.11.13 "Earthquake"

    "And the same hour was there a great earthquake," What do we make of the same hour? It is the same hour as the angel from mid-heaven sounds, the everlasting gospel.'for the hour of his judgment is come.' (Rev.14.7). Consequently the seven angels with seven trumpets on one hand and seven angels with seven vials are setting the divine Will of the Lord God and of the Son, in motion. On one group, generation of Jesus Christ it is an hour as children in light to be established as inheritors. For the other group generations over which darkness has not cleared it is full of turmoil. Jesus characterised their frenzy as ,'this is your hour, the power of darkness."They shout themselves hoarse,"Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar."(Jn.19.15). Is now any different? 'Obliterate our enemies, you are our king' says Mordecai servants of marduk in our time. The word of God has news for them:"And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great." God has his own buster bombs and no fake news as here in our times. "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found."(Rev.16.20-21) Whatever God does is perfect. The seven mountains upon which 'the great whore that sitteth upon many waters" are seven heads of the beast arising from the bottomless pit.(Rev.13;17.1) Babylon is in for her coup de grce,

    It is thus we have four earthquakes all of which are pendent on the earthquake at the crucifixion. "and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent."(27.51)

    "And every mountain and island were moved out of their places."(6.14) ;11.13 and finally," And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down."(18.21

    Rev.11.6-7 "The beast which is, which was not"

    As mentioned earlier "four kings with five" waged a war in earth while the consequential battle is fought elsewhere. This war is like members of your body,as St Paul calls it,' the law of sin which is in my members war against the Law of the Spirit. You are in the cross hairs of this war and how can anyone say otherwise? Without heaven and earth as the bedrock of your spiritual life it is futile to answer fools who argue over the word of truth. Their Hebrew and Greek perspectives are hogwash without truth.

    "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast./ These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast./These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. "

    These wars fighting on both worlds, in earth and in heaven, shall lead to a final battle,"And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."(Rev.20.12) There is one decisive battle "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." (Rev.16.14-16) The name given in Hebrew does not mean it is on earth. Kings of the earth, are harnessed so the beast arising out of the bottomless pit, as characterised by the Spirit is "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."

    Dear all. Before I came to believe in Jesus, there were two things I would never discuss. (You are closest to yourself). The two things are Christianity and raising children. We shouldn't either.

    I have thought about it as a Christian. And it is difficult to bow to your own view of life. And believe in what others serve. Then you actually find out that you may not have been completely right after all. Then you have to bite the bitter apple and in a way admit that you were wrong. Pride must be far from a Christian person. Also in a Christian church. This website is one of those. Our helpers here are equally valuable because we all know that we are in Jesus Christ. Everyone with different God-given gifts. It is a church. And when we speak the truth, our hearts will burn with the Holy Spirit like disciples when they say: Did not our hearts burn when he spoke. We trust that most of those who come by are Christians because they are seeking answers. And perhaps the Lord is calling them. Jac 5:19-20 I am not a Pentecostal today. But I still have many friends there who I pray for every day. They have learned that this is the way. Here is the truth for me. Discussions about the rapture and its condemnation. Because they believe that everyone else is wrong. Will harm an entire community of Christians who have had this teaching for years. They are just as Christians as anyone and everyone who seems to have Christ. But when they believe in something that is not fully confirmed, uncertainty grows and inequalities grow. We can never change this, not here either, if we argue until we are blue in the face. As a newly converted person, I saw these dubious sentences. It hurts, but when it is said Jesus will give us salvation. In the rooms of God's house. Joh 14:2He Is versatile, isn't he? Because we have one word that I came across today. These are words of comfort to me in days of inequality. Romans 10:9-11 Il love u all and i pray everyday always. Stay stong with peace in heart.
