    • This is an excerpt from the Guardian site listed: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/08/world-scientists-climate-failure-survey-global-temperature?utm_term=663b5b4375ee213a272fc647a5baf22b&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayUS&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=GTUS_email. It corroborates the dire environmental circumstances appearing in the Olivet discourse and Revelation 8 & 9. The Guardian approached every contactable lead author or review editor of IPCC reports since 2018. Almost half replied, 380 of 843. The IPCC’s reports are the gold standard assessments of climate change, approved by all governments and produced by experts in physical and social sciences. The results show that many of the most knowledgeable people on the planet expect climate havoc to unfold in the coming decades. The climate crisis is already causing profound damage to lives and livelihoods across the world, with only 1.2C (2.16F) of global heating on average over the past four years. Jesse Keenan, at Tulane University in the US, said: “This is just the beginning: buckle up.”
    • If you take the mark of the beast, you are going to hell. Rev 13:15-16 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. ESV Rev 14:9-11 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name." ESV Those people whose names are written in the Book of Life will not worship the beast and will be killed.
    • I don't disagree that Satan influenced Mohammed, however, it wasn't uncommon for older men to take very young wives.  We can show people Satan's influence on the Islamic government, but if you are dealing with Muslims, speaking of that will make no difference.  Their laws haven't changed since the 7th century. While it is abhorant to us, to a country tightly controlled by the Sharia Laws, it isn't frowned upon so much.
    • We can identify everything by it's fruit: Matthew 7:16 (KJV) [16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Certainly, without a doubt, if one loves another they want the very best for them... the 54 year old could not possibly think the nine year old is getting that! No matter what spin is placed upon it...
    • In the passage where Jesus mentions the unpardonable sin, the context shows what is was: Matt 12:31 - Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 12 - Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come. The context is: 27 - And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28 - But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. So we see that those who witnessed miracles of Jesus and claimed that He was casting out demons by Beelzebub were committing the unpardonable sin. iow, they were so hardened in their denial of Jesus being the Messiah that even miracles didn't convince them.  They attributed miracles done by the Holy Spirit through Jesus was Satan.   The unpardonable sin is no longer applicable since no one after Jesus' ministry saw His miracles and attributed them to Satan. There is only one condition for salvation, clearly stated in Paul's answer to the jailer's question of what he MUST DO to be saved:  believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. No need to comment on every verse and commentary, but none of them speak of losing salvation. Yes, and that sacrifice has been made on behalf of everyone.  If one "has not believed" in Christ, they will be condemned.  John 3:18 and 2 Thess 2:12 both say that condemnation is for those who "have not believed".  That clearly means those who NEVER believed. Because once a person HAS believed in Christ for salvation, they are eternally saved.   John 5:24 - Jesus taught that those who believe (present tense) HAS (present tense) {possesses} eternal life. Then, in John 10:28 Jesus said:  "I give them eternal life and they shall never perish". He was teaching from both verses that from the MOMENT of faith in Christ, the person is eternally secure.
