Hi figure of eighty, We can all identify somewhat with you for we have all been driving ourselves into the ground at some time. And God wont wrestle the wheel of our lives off us. It is our choice to surrender to His loving arms and place our lives in His hands. I will go and post a song I believe is especially for you at this time. It will be in the Music video section. Marilyn.

Pray to the Lord for guidance and read His Word until His will is clear to you. He knows best, and will give you the victory.

Yes, Rev. 12:1-17 is about a FUTURE EVENT, but Rev. 12:1-5 is a code to understand the end tine event. John being shown in the future, and event with a coded message does not break the Rev. 4:1 truth that everything is future from that point on. The male child comes, dies and now sits at the righthand of God. So, we get the key to understanding "The Women" without that code who would understand? John could not say Israel because if he did that would have periled the lives of those Christians passing down the the book of Revelation/letter. Rev. 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. So, the Woman is described above and a key code in Gen. 37:9 is given, then below she flees unto Judea, so that happens at the 1260 event, so its evident everything about this event is past the Rev. 4:1 Rapture. Verses 1-5 was just telling us who the Woman is (Israel) 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness(Prophecy starts here), where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days(1260 days). 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.( So, Satan chases Israel for 1260 days because he gets cast out of heaven at the midway point. So, everything in Rev. 12 is about the 1260 DOTL event ) 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time(1260). 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.(Israel who birthed the Messiah male child gets persecuted by the Dragon) 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle(God the Father protects Israel), that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time(1260 days), from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood(A.C. Army) after the woman(Israel), that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman(the 1/3 who repent), and went to make war with the remnant of her(Israel) seed(Jesus see Gal. 3:16 there was ONE SEED, Christ Jesus), which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (The underlined bold are very, very important, it proves a pre trib/70th week rapture) Satan can not get at the Woman (1/3) who repents, so he goes after the "Remnant of her Seed" So, the Remnant Church which is on earth by way of repenting after the Pre Trib. Rapture or the Gentile Remnant Church is who the dragon goes after, we know this because he can not get at the Women (1/3) who flees into the Petra/Bozra area and the 2/3 DO NOT have the Testimony of Jesus. The Remnant Church proves the Rapture is pre tri. or pre 70th week

Here are a few of the books I highly recommend: THE GAP IS NOT A THEORY! by Jack W. Langford (Author) The Genesis 'Gap Theory': Its Credibility and Consequences by Michael W. J. Phelan (Author) The commentaries that come from several of my bibles: Hebrew-Greek; NIV Study Bible; NASB Study Bible; ESV Study Bible; et al.

That’s interesting about rituals about the dead. I don’t understand what’s it’s about. But will look into it. I love the video they have. I have not seen anything that would keep me from Jesus that they teach. Thanks

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration says it will help 50 countries to identify and respond to infectious diseases to prevent “pandemics” like the COVID-19 outbreak that paralyzed life in much of the world. Biden said federal officials will work with the nations to develop better testing, surveillance, communication, and preparedness for pandemics to help “effectively respond to biological threats wherever they emerge.” U.S. government officials will offer support in the countries, most of them located in Africa and Asia, as part of a strategy to “prevent, detect and effectively respond to biological threats wherever they emerge,” Biden added in a statement monitored by Worthy News. The Global Health Security Strategy, the president said, aims to protect people worldwide and “will make the United States stronger, safer, and healthier than ever before at this critical moment.” The announcement about the strategy comes as countries have struggled to meet a worldwide accord on responses to future pandemics. Critics say these accords will eventually lead to more government control over people’s lives. Four years after the coronavirus pandemic, officials are pushing for a pandemic treaty to be signed by all 194 members of the World Health Organization (WHO). TREATY TALKS ONGOING Talks for the treaty are ongoing, but critical legislators, including in countries like the United States and the Netherlands, have questioned whether it will mean losing sovereignty and sharing more resources with poorer nations, including countries with autocratic, corruption-ridden regimes. Yet a final text was still expected to be agreed upon next month in Geneva, Switzerland. It is meant to be a legally binding treaty that obliges countries to monitor pandemic threats and share scientific findings. However, in addition to the issue of handing over control to the WHO, significant disputes have emerged over vaccine equity and transferring the technology used to make the jabs. Supporters of the deal say there would be few consequences for countries that choose not to abide by the treaty. The U.S. will push on with its global health strategy to prevent future pandemics, regardless of a pandemic treaty, a senior administration official told reporters on Monday. Several U.S. government agencies — including the State Department, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID — will “help countries refine” their infectious disease response, sources said. U.S. officials defending more coordinated responses say health systems around the globe have been overwhelmed by COVID-19 and other health emergencies, such as the far more deadly Ebola virus, malaria, and mpox. The new strategy will help countries rebuild their agencies, the U.S. agency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said. NATIONAL SECURITY “Global health security is national security, and CDC is proud to contribute its expertise, investments, and rapid response to protect the health and safety of the American people and the world,” Mandy Cohen, the CDC’s director, added in published remarks. Officials say the Biden administration is already supporting nations such as Congo in their response to a mpox virus outbreak, including through immunizations. Mpox, a virus in the same family as the one that causes smallpox, creates painful skin lesions. The WHO declared mpox a global emergency in 2022, and there have been more than 91,000 cases spanning across 100 countries to date. The White House released the names of the countries participating in the anti-mpox effort, and Biden officials say they are seeking to get 100 countries signed onto the program by year’s end. The U.S. has devoted billions of dollars to its health efforts, including money raised from private donations. President Biden, a Democrat, is also asking for $1.2 billion for global health safety efforts in his yearly budget proposal to the U.S. Congress. However, whether enough legislators would support this in an election year remained unclear. The post US To Help Dozens Of Nations Prevent Pandemics appeared first on Worthy Christian News.

Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. It was a stormy night in Birmingham, England, and Hudson Taylor was to speak at a meeting at the Severn Street schoolroom. His hostess assured him that nobody would attend on such a stormy night, but Taylor insisted on going. “I must go even if there is no one but the doorkeeper.” Less than a dozen people showed up, but the meeting was marked with unusual spiritual power. Half of those present either became missionaries or gave their children as missionaries; and the rest were faithful supporters of the China Inland Mission for years to come. Hudson Taylor was going to be faithful to speak even if it was to only one person. Today, God may be calling you to speak to that one person. D.L. Moody once said: “God has called us to shine, just as much as Daniel was sent into Babylon to shine. Let no one say that he cannot shine because he has not so much influence as some others may have. What God wants you to do is to use the influence you have. Daniel probably did not have much influence down in Babylon at first, but God soon gave him more because he was faithful and used what he had.” God is looking for those who are willing to be faithful! He wants to use us in ways we could never or would never have imagined – but in order for that to transpire we need to be faithful in the little things and we need to be available when He calls!

John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. In a documentary mini-series called “Against All Odds,” a remarkable story is told about an Israeli platoon who found themselves in the midst of a minefield along the Syrian border during the Yom Kippur War. When the platoon realized they were in a minefield they pulled out their bayonets and started to dig out mines and disarm them. Suddenly, a fierce wind began to blow, removing the sand from the minefield. Each and every mine was exposed and the soldiers ventured through the minefield unscathed. If you found yourself in the midst of a minefield but had someone with you that knew where every mine was and could guide you through, then you’d be sure to stay as close to him as possible! My friend, life is a minefield; and the enemy has planted mines all across your path — the mines of temptation! You have Someone with you who knows where they are and how to guide you around them. But how closely are you walking with Him? God’s word and His Spirit equip us thoroughly for life and godliness. Obedience to His word and abiding in His Spirit we can avoid every deadly trap of the enemy and even if He calls us to martyrdom, we can go joyfully in His power. But in the meantime, let’s not ignore the presence and counsel of our Heavenly Guide. It’s too easy to become distracted by fears, entertainments, and even real responsibilities. But all these can pull us away from Him….so that we suddenly find our foot on a mine about to explode under us. The discipline of practicing His presence was never more important than it is now in these last of the last days. The Bible warns that “because iniquity abounds, the love of many shall wax cold!” Let us stay awake, fully conscious of our Helper’s presence. Led of His Spirit we will dodge every one of our enemy’s mines, and navigate both ourselves and others to safety, bearing fruit all along the way! Never miss a devotion again!

Hi Mel what happened ? You were attack by unbelievers ? You should pray much before going out to hand out bibles. Read the New Testament and pray much. The enemy cannot win.

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent (Worthy News) – The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote this Friday on Palestine’s bid for full UN membership. It is expected that the United States, an ally of Israel, will veto the request as it would constitute an implicit recognition of a Palestinian state. Diplomats have stated that the 15-member council is set to vote at 3 p.m. this Friday on a draft resolution that proposes to the 193-member UN General Assembly that “the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the United Nations.” According to Axios, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas turned down requests from the Biden administration to delay a vote in the United Nations Security Council on Palestine’s full membership in the UN. To pass, a resolution in the council requires a minimum of nine affirmative votes and no vetoes from the five permanent members: the US, Britain, France, Russia, or China. Diplomats indicate that the resolution might garner the support of as many as 13 council members, compelling the US to exercise its veto power. According to a senior Israeli official, eight members of the Security Council—Russia, China, Algeria, Malta, Slovenia, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, and Guyana—are expected to support the Palestinian bid, while the UK is likely to abstain. In addition, the U.S. and Israel are exerting efforts to influence France, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, and Ecuador to either oppose the resolution or abstain, aiming to block the Palestinians from obtaining the nine votes needed for passage. U.S. and Israeli officials further assert that the Biden administration is actively involved in preventing the resolution’s passage, thus averting the necessity for a U.S. veto. This strategy is designed to reduce potential backlash against the Biden administration for vetoing the resolution, especially amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Such a veto could trigger substantial international disapproval and stir dissent within the Democratic Party, even among Biden’s supporters. The Biden administration argues that Palestinian statehood should be pursued through direct negotiations between the involved parties rather than through unilateral declarations at the UN, which they believe would not result in tangible changes on the ground.

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square contributor (Worthy News) – Within 20 minutes of convening to hold an impeachment trial of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Democrats in the Senate steamrolled through motions and voted to dismiss the first article of impeachment brought against him. Shortly thereafter, they dismissed the second article as well, without ever hearing evidence or conducting a trial. Two impeachment charges were delivered by the U.S. House to the Senate on Tuesday. The Republican-controlled House voted to impeach Mayorkas in February over allegations related to the ongoing border crisis. On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said a debate would be held. However, within minutes of the proceedings beginning, no debate was held and Schumer moved to dismiss both articles of impeachment. He said the articles of impeachment were unconstitutional, didn’t rise to level of a high crime and misdemeanor and should be dismissed. TCS U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas U.S. Department of Homeland Security After several motions filed that failed by votes along party lines of 51-49, the Senate voted to dismiss the first article of impeachment by a vote of 51 to 48 with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voting present. The first article delivered by the Republican-controlled House cited “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law.” U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Missouri, was the first senator to object to the first article being dismissed. “To dismiss or table articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas without a trial here today or in committee is an unprecedented move by Senator Schumer,” he said. “Never before in the history of our Republic has the Senate dismissed or tabled articles of impeachment when the impeached individual was alive and had not resigned. As Senator Schumer said in 2020, ‘A fair trial has witnesses. A fair trial has relevant documents. As part of the record, a fair trial seeks the truth, nothing more, nothing less.’ “I will not assist Senator Schumer in setting our Constitution ablaze and bulldoze 200 years of precedent.” U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, then filed a motion to proceed with the trial. He said Schumer “has argued that Secretary Mayorkas’ defiance of federal immigration law and active aiding and abetting of the worst criminal invasion in our nation’s history does not constitute a high crime or misdemeanor. He has presented no argument on that question. He’s presented no briefing on that question and his position is directly contrary to the original understanding of the Constitution at the time it was ratified and to the explicit position of the Biden Department of Justice has argued before the Supreme Court.” Schumer’s position “is asking members of the Senate to vote on political expediency to avoid listening to arguments. The only rational way to resolve this question is actually to debate it, to consider the Constitution and consider the law,” Cruz said. His motion was defeated by a vote along party lines of 51-49. U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, also filed a motion to adjourn the impeachment until April 30. It was defeated by a vote of 51-49, also along party lines. Republican Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, stood up expressing shock by the development, arguing, “the Senate just swore an oath to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws of our country. We swore to discharge a duty that is quite different from our normal work. As a court of impeachment, we’re called not to speak, not to debate, but to listen to the case against the accused and to his defense. “At this point, in any trial in the country the prosecution presents the evidence of the case. Counsel for the defense does the same and the jury remains silent as it listens. This is what our rules require of us as well. But the Senate has not had the opportunity to perform this duty.” Under Schumer’s scheme, he said, “the Senate will not hear the House managers present the details of their case against Secretary Mayorkas that he willingly neglected the duties of his office and that he lied to Congress about the extent of that failure. Likewise, we will not hear the secretary’s representatives present the vigorous defense to which he’s entitled.” Senate Democrats “know that we are obligated to take these proceedings seriously. This is what our oath prescribes,” he said. Holding a trial “is what the framers actually envisioned. The power of impeachment is one of the most delicate balances our constitutional system strikes with a portion of the American people’s sovereign electoral authority. It purchases a safeguard against malpractice and gives the Senate the power and the duty to decide. This process must not be abused. It must not be short circuited. History will not judge this moment well.” He filed a motion to table Schumer’s motion, which also lost along party lines by a vote of 51-49. The Senate then voted to dismiss the first article of impeachment. Schumer then moved to dismiss Article 2, arguing it “does not allege conduct that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor as required under Article 2 Section 4 of the United States Constitution and is therefore unconstitutional.” U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said Schumer was “very wrong” for dismissing the articles “but he is even more wrong” for dismissing the second one because it accuses Mayorkas “of knowingly making false statements. This is a violation of 18 USC section 1001 – a felony offense. If this is not a high crime and misdemeanor, what is? If this is not impeachable, what is?” His remarks were cut short and talked over by U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, who presided over the proceedings. Lee also filed a motion to debate the article behind closed doors, which failed along party lines by a vote of 51-49. U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Florida, said as jurors they had not had the time to review if Schumer’s point of order was contrary to the U.S. Constitution and moved to adjourn proceedings. His motion failed. U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., asked, “are we about to set a precedent that an allegation of a felony is not a high crime and misdemeanor? Do the [Democratic] senators understand what they are doing?” Murray said his question “wasn’t an appropriate parliamentary inquiry.” Kennedy said lying to Congress is a felony and “since we’re not allowed to talk among ourselves about the absurdity of this and my Democratic colleagues will not allow us to go into closed session to talk about this,” he moved to adjourn and hold a trial on May 1. He filed two motions, which also failed. U.S. Sen. John Thune, R-SD, tried to table Schumer’s point of order, which failed. Senate Democrats then passed Schumer’s motion to dismiss the second article of impeachment by a vote of 51-49. Within less than an hour and a half, Senate Democrats ended any possibility of a trial.

the more weapons we give Ukraine, the more Ukrainians will die.

Friends, I think as I was distributing Bibles in our language , the enemy started attacking me to control me completely. Should I pray to go out and start giving Bibles. I want to overcome the enemy with God s help. Thanks!

Sister, you are ever in my prayers. As you said, you are trying! Do not discount that as being a glorifying testimony to your faith in God. Even in these incredible trials, you know His will, you desire His will, you are fighting tooth and nail to stick to His will, resisting the devil telling you to give up, resisting the evil one's temptation to end your life before God is ready for it to end. You are fighting hard. You are a warrior. The devil has not defeated you. You are standing for God's truth and His will. Do not think for a minute that God is not very pleased about your show of faith in this time of great darkness in your life. God is allowing the devil to test you, and so far, you have not given in. You have not let the devil convince you to distrust God, you have not let him to convince you to orphan your precious children. You are an inspiration to me (and I imagine everyone else here). When I think of the struggles in attitude I have had at times over the past few months and days with the stress of moving, despite it being nowhere near your level of stress, I can only stand in awe of your faith. I hope one day to grow to be able to fight as hard and as successfully as you have been. Do not hold in those tears. "JESUS WEPT" (John 11:35) Did you get that? Let me say it again. "JESUS WEPT" (John 11:35) Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, very God of very God, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, Light of the world, Prince of peace...he wept! Your tears are not shameful. They are not weak. They are not displeasing to your loving Father in heaven. And guess what the very next verse says: "So the Jews said, 'See how he loved him!'" (John 11:36) Jesus wept openly, in front of others, in front of his disciples, in front of believers, in front of non-believers! Do not be ashamed of your tears. Do not hide them. Do not hide your pain. Do not think it makes you weak or a failure of a Christian. Do not hesitate to keep seeking help. God is not finished with you yet!

You really should stop posting things that are known to be false. It is an indisputable fact that ruin/reconstruction theory has no basis in the Hebrew language. Rather, new and different interpretations were made so as to accommodate the unbiblical claim of long ages. That's why certain people are so hostile to the KJV and to the 86% of interpretations that confirm the six day creation. Timothy warned us of false doctrines that would come to deceive many. Islam is a false doctrine. Evolution is a false doctrine. Much of Catholicism is based on false doctrine, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormonism are false doctrines and ruin/reconstruction is a false doctrine. That's why it didn't exist for the first 57 centuries. If it had any bearing in truth, wouldn't someone have noticed it before then? Again, with no sun, moon, light, heat or surrounding universe, the earth was a floating mass covered in water and maybe ice (but no land). How, then, was it inhabited? How, then, was it destroyed? Light came AFTER verse two; verse three, to be exact. There is no intelligent reason to fall for the false doctrine of ruin/reconstruction, so those who do are without excuse. It's just an excuse not to believe in the Bible as written, and to play up to the old earth advocates who don't believe a word of it either. Some issues with Gap heresy: 1. Although the gap theory originated out of a desire to accommodate the millions of years of supposed geological time, only the most naïve would think it succeeds. Uniformitarian geologists reject the idea of any global Flood, whether the biblical Noah’s Flood, or the imagined ‘Lucifer’s Flood’ of the gap theory. The fossils supposedly formed over hundreds of millions of years, not rapidly as in a catastrophic flood (ruin). Students from Christian homes went to secular universities and found that the ‘gap theory’ made no sense with secular geology anyway, so they saw it for what it is—an ill-informed attempt to make the Bible fit secular science. And since their Christian leaders had effectively made ‘science’ authoritative over Scripture in this matter, many of these students took the next logical step: since ‘science’ says that dead men don’t rise, virgins don’t conceive, adultery and homosexual behaviour are natural, then … (False doctrine leading people to Hell... who'da thunk it?) 2. It postulates the fall of Satan and wholesale death and suffering in a world that God declared ‘very good’ in Genesis 1:31 and thus undermines the doctrine of redemption and the need for Jesus' death and resurrection. 3. It contradicts the Sabbath command of Exodus 20:8–11, which is based on the creation of the ‘heavens, earth, sea and everything in them’ in six ordinary days. 4. It is grammatically impossible to translate the verb היה) hayah) as ‘became’ when it is combined with a vav disjunctive—in the rest of the Old Testament, vav + a noun + היה) qal perfect, 3rd person) is always translated, ‘was’ or ‘came’, but never ‘became’. Moreover the qal form of היה does not normally mean ‘became’, especially in the beginning of a text, where it usually gives the setting. 5. Also, the correct Hebrew idiom for ‘become’ is to attach the verb ‘to be’ היה) hayah), e.g. ‘was’, to the preposition ‘to’ (Hebrew ל le). The verb ‘to be’ does NOT mean ‘become’ without this preposition. Since Genesis 1:2 lacks the preposition, it cannot mean ‘became’. 6. The Hebrew phrase tohu va bohu (ובהו תהו ,(translated ‘without form and void’ in Genesis 1:2, is claimed by gap theorists to indicate a judgmental destruction rather than something in the process of being built. But tohu occurs several times in the Bible in which it is used in a morally neutral state, describing something unfinished, and not yet organized, but not necessarily evil. Hebrew scholars and the church have for centuries taken the view that Genesis 1:2 is not a scene of judgment or an evil state created by the fall of angels, but a description of the earth in its undeveloped state. The plain and simple meaning of what Moses says is that on the first day there was a mass covered by water, with no dry land involving features such as hills (tohu = ‘unformed’), and no inhabitants yet (bohu = ‘unfilled’). The following verses simply describe the forming and filling. 7. Some have attempted to use Jeremiah 4:23 to teach the gap theory, because it uses the same phrase, tohu va bohu, to describe the results of a judgment. Gap theorists like Arthur Custance used this to assert that ‘without form and void’ must mean ‘laid waste by a judgment’—so that use of these words in Genesis 1:2 must mean that the earth suffered a judgment. But this is fallacious— there is nothing in the Hebrew words tohu va bohu themselves to suggest that. The only reason they refer to being ‘laid waste’ is due to the context in which the phrase is found in Jeremiah 4. The words simply mean ‘unformed and unfilled’. This state can be due either to nothing else having been created, or some created things having been removed. The context of Jeremiah 4 is a prophecy of the Babylonians attacking Jerusalem, not creation. In fact, Jeremiah 4:23 is known as a literary allusion to Genesis 1:2—the judgment would be so severe that it would leave the final state as empty as the earth before God formed and filled it. source The bottom line is, ruin/reconstruction theory or gap theory is false doctrine originating from the father of lies to deceive those who don't have a solid foundation in the word of God. There is no truth in it. It's modern nonsense and contrary to the sound teaching of God's word.

No. Real life Tammuz is the son of real life Semiramis, the Babylonian Queen of Heaven. She is also known as Ishtar and the Egyptian Isis along with countless other names across the earth. What is considered myth is not myth at all. All based on Nimrod the Babylonian King and who is the Assyrian, Semiramis and Tammuz the false savior. Where do you think these so-called myths originate from?

Psalm 102:19-20, Isa 60:1-3 6/ The great Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, prophesied over 100 times throughout the Bible, the Day of punishment on the nations, triggered by an attack on the State of Israel. Psalms 83:1-18, Habakkuk 3:12, Isaiah 34:1-5 7/ The only logical explanation for a worldwide fire, is a Coronal Mass Ejection, an explosion of the suns surface. This is confirmed by Isaiah 30:26 and Malachi 4:1. A CME of unprecedented magnitude will strike the earth, the mass of superheated hydrogen plasma will fulfil all the prophesied effects: in the sky, heat, smoke, electrical, volcanic, earthquakes and the loss of our modern infrastructure. Deut. 32:22 & 34-35, Ezekiel 21:10, Revelation 6:12-17

Ecc 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Humans receive information with all five senses (Plus one). To not utilize knowledge of that ability to reach humans with communication by utilizing all five is to miss the mark by far. Everything absolutely everything is important in gaining attention and keeping it, including the temperature of a room.

Good day JohnD, The kingdom of heaven is the same as the kingdom of God, which is within us (Luke 17:21). Heaven is spiritual. The reason the vast majority of us are not able to attain heaven, and are thus currently under Gods altar, is because of our other carnal interests. Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

You are welcome to post in the U.S. Politics sub-forum, see below:

Matthew 16:28 “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” John 21:22 Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.” So what is it to you if the Lord wants to extend the lives of some of His followers beyond that of a normal lifespan? (If that indeed is what He meant.) The Lord is sovereign over all His subjects, so why bother to question His will (or His Word)? We don't have to figure everything out, after all (and we never will); just follow Him.

Yes, I have observed mainly Pentecostal denominations preoccupied with visual effects from start to finish in every service, but non-charismatics do run with the big screen program as well. One pastor in our city trained as a lighting engineer and has built up a fellowship where he backlights his preaching and entertains with all sorts of lighting gimmicks with changing hues or speckle patterns etc. The polished power-point and video clip ministry has its place, as Chuck Missler demonstrated, but the circus some outfits consider attractive actually repels me.
