lol ~ Amen~! All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. Proverbs 15-15

After the super typhoon hit the Philippines, my wifes home, these are some of the stories that are coming out There is hope for us as people, there really is... The writing says "Hold On", on little girl, with the last of her allowance bought these biscuits and bottles of water to send to the disaster zone. One little girl.. A Japanese preschooler who emptied his piggy bank and went to the Philippine embassy in Tokyo to hand the money to embassy staff. One little boy.... Two young American girls selling lemonade All children.... There is hope, really there is....

Wouldn't you love to hang out with Mark just for a while? lol Look how many people care about you here gray. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I hid posts that were direct personal attacks on Will.

Nikki1 Dan 9:24 - Seventy sevens are decreed for YOUR People (plural) and YOUR Holy City (Jerusalem) to: complete the six tasks This is not a prophecy about Jesus Christ fulfilling these tasks, It is for Israel and Jerusalem to fulfill these six tasks. Gabriel was the messenger. Some non dispensational people try to use substitution to discredit what Gabriel told Daniel. In Christ Montana Marv

I have read and heard Pre-trib rapture teachers and followers proclaim while they are having a big wedding party after they have been raptured outa here, Israel is being punished during the 70th week, but as you can see from my earlier post (I hope), Israel's transgressions have already been atoned for ending the 70th week theory. Nikki this makes sense to me (for the first time), thanks for that. I've believed that the church was in this 'gap' grace period of the 70 weeks, but it never quite made sense to me, its...illogical, to me. However, I still believe that Dan 9:24 is yet to be fulfilled (in greater completion). But the fact that Israel will still be punished during the last week does not compute. If we, as (pre-trib/pre-wrath) believers, believe that we will be spared this wrath, why then would the last generation of Jews be left holding the ball to receive the wrath? I'm basically just thinking out loud here - thanks Nikki for putting that in terms that compute. That's just it according to the prophecy, Israel has answered for all of their (past) transgressions after the 490 years or 70 weeks had passed. Care to share what it is about Daniel 9:24 that you don't think is fulfilled completely? Recent evangelical teaching pushes the idea that there is a long gap (theory) but what is the justification for this theory? Why are we not to take the whole of the 70 weeks as one consecutive event after another? Since there is no gap between the first seven weeks and the following sixty-two weeks, (the first and second divisions of the total period) it comes as a doubtful idea to find this extraordinarily log gap to exist between the second and third division. This length gap completely breaks the natural continuity of the prophecy. It has long been established that the period of 490 years was a period prophesied that continued uninterrupted from its start to completion. How can anyone imagine there is an interval between the sixty-nine and the one (week) when these two together make up the seventy? This Messianic consecutive interpretation of Daniel 9 has been eclipsed almost completely in historical-critical scholarship. Some of the representative voices among exegetes of the last 150 years are E.W. Hengstenberg, J.N. Andrews, E.B. Pusey, J. Raska, J. Hontheim, Boutflower and O. Gerhardt. Another commentary over the last 150 years, P. Mauro, has shown that there is ‘an absolute rule, admitting of no exceptions, that when a definite measure of time or space is specified by the number of units composing it, within which a certain event is to happen, or a certain thing is to be found, the units of time or space which make up that measure are to be understood as running continuously and successfully. This is based on the observation that the 430 years of Genesis 15:13, Exodus 12:20, Galatians 3;17; the 40 years of the wilderness wandering of Numbers 14:34; and the seven years of plenty and of famine of Genesis 45:6 were respectively consecutive years. The three days after which Jesus was to arise were also consecutive. Since these time periods were consecutive, the natural thing would be to expect the 70 weeks of Daniel 9:24-27 likewise to be 70 consecutive weeks” (F. Holbrooke, pp.22-23, emphasis added). If the 70th week is past and completed then Daniels people (Israel) and Daniels holy city (Jerusalem) have completed their six tasks; being 1. finish transgression (Israel still transgresses), 2. put an end to sin (Israel still is in sin, they have been plucked out of the vine), 3. to atone for wickedness (no atonement has been established, they still do not call on God), 4. to bring in everlasting righteousness (Israel is not there yet, when they say "The Lord is our God", it will begin, 5. To seal up vision and prophecy (Rev was written in about 90 to 95 AD (full of visions and prophecy), 6. to anoint the most holy (He, Jesus Christ is not their king yet). None of the six tasks have been completed by Israel or Jerusalem, therefore the 70th week has not begun and not yet finished. In Christ Montana Marv

That is awesome....

When I ask a question of God, usually in a decision I am making, I have found that He seldom, if ever, gives me a clear cut direct answer . He mostly works on that part of my heart that prompted the question in the first place, and once that is worked out, once He has worked on my heart, the answer becomes clear to me, and there is no doubt. I have come to trust this, and now know that if it feels right it is. If there is any lingering doubt, or follow on "what ifs", my heart is not ready for the answer or the challenge ahead. But we are all different, That's just how He deals with my questions.

Thanks for the help folks. Fine answers by all.

Right now there are groups of doctors forming to go to the Philippeans for medical rescue. That might be a short term project. See if God opens the doors for disaster relief now. If not, the time might not be right again.

Love it! His other videos are great also!

Praying For The Salvation Of The Little Children I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 1 Timothy 2:1 Before Jesus Makes Jerusalem The New Center Of Old Earth He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20 Maranatha~!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Send Us A Postcard

Love is a desire, emotion, and manifests itself in actions. The greater the desire the more the grief, if you do not have the desire. For some the desire is greatest for money, power, fame, or any number of things that are not eternal. Some see desire as a need but beyond food, shelter and health ... the body has no real needs. I believe that Love is only a true need, if it is for the Love of God and serves a greater need than self. In the case of Jesus, prophets, and martyrs.... Love of God strengthened them in their time of need, up to and including torture and death.

I don't know if Will from Texas has ever said a judgmental word to these women, why have you assumed he has? Why are you judging him yourself, do you know him personally enough to make that call? How do you know he's not evangelizing? Or not showing love? I didn't get any of that information from his post. Think about these things, please. Welcome to Worthy, acchokiefan. God bless you.

I have baptized three previous Wiccans and lost count of the converted ATHIESTs. In listening to their main objections to things related to Christianity, seem to be people like yourself (no offense). The Great Commission comes first with me. I don't care what bus they arrived on, as long as they got here. A "Liberal City" in Texas? I live in Tennessee with the most utterly corrupt draconian politicians in the universe. Almost humorous unless you live here. GOD love them, it's all small change and they're harmless, but they sure try all day long to do harm. I know you don't mean any offense, but I still don't understand; could you clarify please?

All too common especially around liberal circles. I can't tell you how many women I have met over my lifetime that claimed to be a wiccan. My city is super-hyper liberal to a sickening level. Unfortunately many women don't even know what they are fooling with. There's male witches too, not to discriminate, but it targets women. Sadly it has been pushed as an alternative for religion and many are seduced.

wicca is the fastest growing religion in the US today. don't know if Hollywood is cashing in on it or causing it.

Last days entertainment...

I have not watched too many Christian films, but then again I don't watch too many films at all. I live a long way from any cinema and the film has to be really interesting for me to drive nearly 2 hours to go see it. I have seen Fireproof on DVD as well as Faith Like Potatoes, but that's about it.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought great another christian bashing christian films. Just what we need, and didn't open it. Now that I did I am very pleasently surprised and owe you an apology for my false assumption. One of my favorites is courageous. Being a dad, that movie really struck home.

God doesn't need us but He wants us very much. We are His family thank you Jesus. Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

We are Saints .If anyone ever says to you "Do you think you are a Saint or something?".You can say "Yes".....
