Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, Matthew 24:12 (New International Version) the new tolerance doesn’t simply mean that you must allow for differences among people or society without castigation or persecution. We are now required by the Orwellian definition of tolerance to positively promote such lifestyles, customs, and deviance (moral or otherwise), almost to the point of the denigration of the majority culture. We should be tolerant of differences; indeed, we should ever be hospitable to the stranger, allow for religious differences, celebrate the fact that there is freedom of speech and of thought , traces of the formerly Christian culture. This comes from Moses and of course, Jesus and the prophets, and seeped its way into western society. But the new tolerance goes beyond that and is actually quite cruel. For example, take the new toleration of Islam. When there is something toxic about a culture, an inherent flaw in it, to “tolerate it” to the point of admiringly upholding it almost as a model “religion of peace” does no service to the people in it. Our own government practiced this after 9-11-2001. The Muslim people desperately need to be confronted as human beings with the serious flaws of their own false religion, and 9-11 was an ideal “teachable moment,” but the new tolerance made it impossible to do so on a large-scale. I believe this new non-judgmental tolerance is cruel because it is both artificial and patronizing, and in the long run hurts everyone. Muslims are human beings too, and in spite of the teachings of Mohammed, they still have a conscience and know very well that what happened on 9-11 was an act of criminal barbarity. As human beings none of them would want that to happen to them or any people they know. But the new tolerance “runs interference” on any real soul-searching. The rush to justify Islam, and to appease the “hurt feelings” of Muslims in America and elsewhere actually hurts Muslims, because it denies them full responsibility as moral agents. Islam and its adherents have committed 16,000 acts of terror since 9-11, but in the new tolerance, they are mere victims to be pitied—an accommodation that places them on a less-than-human scale, perhaps through fear that is we don’t appease them, they will do us even greater violence. I have been seeing the destruction caused by this cruel, new tolerance in the area of homosexuality as well. Those who try to point out that homosexuality is a destructive, literally damning way to live, are shut down by the new tolerance as “Haters,” of the homosexual. (I am trying to break the habit of calling them “Gay.” I don’t accept the premise—they aren’t “gay” when they are really miserable; and drug, alcohol, and suicide statistics bear this out.) But who really “hates” the homosexual, and who truly “loves ” them? Those who practice the new tolerance actually hate the homosexual by condemning them to this “lifestyle,” affirming them in that which is sterile, deadly, filthy, and which debases and kills the conscience. This kind of “acceptance” is deadly. Those who truly love the homosexuals are the ones who tell them in the name of the Lord that God has something better for them and that they are responsible beings who must give account for this distortion of God’s prophetic institution of marriage, and that change is entirely possible and so is forgiveness. This new toxic tolerance has even seeped into the evangelical Christian church. There are those who have been embarrassed by the teachings of Jesus and the apostles and prophets of the Bible against Sodomy. They would gain cheap points with the world for being “compassionate” as opposed to those “judgmental religious hypocrites” who dare to speak the truth in love to this generation. This is how Christians are consistently betraying one another and their Lord by posing as the “tolerant loving Christians,” in contrast to the faithful witnesses to truth in our time. We must fervently call this heresy out for what it is, a perversion of the biblical teaching of love, which is based on truth and a revelation of the Holy God who created us in His image. Real love isn’t humanistic “tolerance;” it is Holy and upholds the truth of God. Love hates evil and rejoices in the truth. The ironic thing about the new tolerance is that it only runs one way. Be aware that those who plead for “tolerance” for homosexuals, Islam, atheism, abortion, and pornography will prove to be so intolerable of Christians whom they will one day soon persecute without mercy. http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=14866 What Say Ye?

No, not at all.......I'm saying what the bible says, that not all have a right to eat of that table. And if we eat and drink unworthily we eat and drink condemnation to ourselves. Old school, I encourage you to seek the Lord for the new birth, to receive the Spirit of Christ and have your heart sprinkled and cleansed by His Blood. We must be born again.......not by the will of our earthly parents, but by the will of our heavenly Father. Ask, seek and knock and the door will be opened to you........and behold even Jesus is knocking so that if you open your heart to Him, He will come in and sup with you (eat & drink) and reveal His word. Remember young Samuel, that he served in house of God but didn't yet know the Lord because the word of the Lord hadn't yet been revealed to him, but later it was....and that is what it means to know the Lord, to know His word.

Does it go further than scripture requires? That's what is important. James 2:8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. Proverbs 3:29 Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you. Mark 12:31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Romans 15:2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

It is written that multitudes fail to achieve salvation, yet believe they are saved, and don't find out until Judgment Day ! (perhaps mostly because as written, they love the words/ approval / of man/men, instead of loving God and God's Word)

Like he said - sinning, gay based , even though other sins might not be gay based.... ? Sexual perversion as a sin itself does not rely on other sins to be a sin - it is a sin all by itself, regardless of all or any other sins.

My dream is that everyone would turn to God. My goal is to help one more person find Christ.

further down the rabbit hole Becarefulhowyouhere.com - been looking here and the post is from what i have gleaned whilst watching this I have been watching this and if you are interested and want to know more in fact i would use the word need to know this stuff as it is working on putting folk under submission by getting folk buoyed up by emotionalism. That then loosens them up to going deeper. oh sure they are definitely experiencing (there we go.. note, the word experiencing) something and that is so not biblical. Remember the bottom line to christianinty is that it is based on faith and not on experiences which is what the NAR is all about. Hyprocracy teachings will abound and will lead folk away from God. Also the hypocrisy teachings open you to decieiving spirits and seducing spirits and what this ultimately means is that you give away your authority ....scary stuff. The laying on of hands and the way it is done is very similar to the hindu practice of laying hands on people to encourage demonic manifestations and to bring about a change in the person now dunno about you but that is scary stuff. Steve Hill from the uk has gotten into this style of laying on of hands- i think he was instrumental for the Brownsvile revival. With Steve it is interesting as he explains that he wanted multiple experiences of the laying on of hands 1 Timothy 4King James Version (KJV) 4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. Isaiah2:6-9 6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. 7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

yes this is the snare that satan uses i imagine. been thinking about this. i mean what better way than to put half truths and down right lies = confusion and we all know who the author of confusion is. the shipping lane for immoral behaviour and attitudes and mix in confusion and its a deadly cocktail i reckon https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/tolerance The ability or willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behaviour that one dislikes or disagrees with. ‘the tolerance of corruption’ ‘an advocate of religious tolerance’

Tolerance can go only both ways. You can't be tolerant of the intolerant, is a matter of simple logic. Because if you tolerate intolerance, the intolerant will put an end to you. Needless to say, christians should not be persecuted. Nobody should as long they don't get violent.

I think the new tolerance is a sign post for the fascist program that intends to interject itself into America's secular society. And by proxy then obliterate the ecclesiastical through its coercion. The fear paradigm being implemented to enforce concession to the new dynamic intending to rule secular and ecclesiastical community. We're witnessing as much when we read of a denomination of the church officially changing policy to entitle what was once forbidden not only entry but acceptance as is. Homosexuals entering in sexually active, not repentant, and being wed as an example. Homosexuals being permitted to serve in the church as sexually active homosexuals. Not the repentant former sinner . We read too of Islamists reciting verses from the Qur'an in churches. Or as was the case in Rome not that long ago, the Islamic call to prayer was permitted recitation on Vatican grounds. And also in an American church this made news . As did the escorting from the church of those Christians who stood in protest.

Modern "Tolerance" is Communist Social Engineering used of the Devil! It sounds all so nice. Yet what is it? "Tolerance" is accepting everything without judgment BUT Christianity, Maleness, and Whiteness. You can disparage, harass, be as ugly as you wish against Christians, and it is "tolerated." It is Post Modernism's "There are no Absolutes" mentality (which totally contradicts its own premise), saying that "true" religion is accepting all religions equally. If you say that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life; and no one comes to the Father but by Him, you have committed "Tolerance" heresy in their eyes! What is a bad philosophy is becoming a worldwide religion.

Amen! The lady in my area who refused to furnish flowers to a gay wedding did so with kindness and due to her convictions about marriage. But the media has distorted it all. She had served the men prior to this and even liked them. However, the anti discrimination language included in our state law has made it impossible to even exercise conscientious objections. It is so sad that this lady has been bashed for her stand as a hater of homosexuals. She may face bankruptcy as a result of the lawsuits against her.

Blessings Brother Joe Oh boy do I agree .......there is a problem though with "many" Christians,it is their DELIVERY of Truth......as you & I both know that with ALL Truth ,no matter how uneasy it may make someone feel ,you can lessen the "blow" with LOVE.......Jesus abides in us and we never have to resort to being unkind,malicious,impatient,brash.......by simply letting Holy Spirit SPEAK through us we will never be condemning or cruel.....just convicting With love-in Christ,Kwik

Although I would have to modify some of your comments as stated in order to agree completely, I think you're essentially on the mark. There is a dark and spreading spiritual pall over all the lands, especially noticeable in the last decade or so. Despite waning protests from those who think more substantively cultural norms in many European countries as well as the US are being controlled by emotional thinkers [to the detriment of reason] intent on forcing political correctness and inclusiveness of just those perversions you note in the op. Interesting times.

Shalom everyone, Since I've been asked, I'll post up a quick reference guide to what the different functions of ministry are. We instituted a checks and balances sort of system at Worthy, so that no one person or persons have complete authority. Worthy Steward -- That's me -- and why do I call myself a Steward. It's merely because I'm a steward of the Lord's ministry. It's not "my" ministry -- and not "my" work. It's the Lord's work! Worthy Servants -- Those are Forum Moderators, who check reported posts, send PM's to keep the peace so to speak, and try to keep this "experiment " running smoothly! Worthy Chat Moderators -- Those are Chat Moderators, who keep Worthy Chat clean, and help "steer" chat. Worthy Watchman -- These are a group of "oversight" individuals, whose role is NOT to "moderate" but a means of checks and balances to the different moderators. When things come up -- they are responsible to review Reported Posts, Moderator actions / inactions, and even comment as to "why" things were handled the way they were. So in essence, the moderation team is a group of individuals who "volunteer" their time, and often get criticized no matter what they do! Either they are moderating too heavily, not moderating too much, why is this "false" doctrine allowed to be discussed, etc. are some of the common complaints I've heard over the 15+ years we've run Worthy! It really doesn't change over the years -- just the members. Many people don't realize how much turnover there is on forum boards! I'm not sure how many different moderating teams we've gone through -- but it's significant! Past Moderation Style We've always like to keep a clean board. and in the past we removed, hid, and deleted harmful posts. However, when we do so, many people NEVER see how much moderating is being done behind the scenes! How many posts are "cleaned up"? The moderators have a few options at this point. First, we'll send a Private Message, trying to "steer" people to what is and what is not acceptable. If this doesn't work, then we will place individuals on "Moderator Review" for a certain period of time. At this point, most of those individuals placed on Moderator Review never come back. What most people do not realize is that "Moderator Review" is the last thing we really want to do as moderators -- because it increases our workload! So what is changed? Changes in Moderation We are simply not "cleaning" up the board any longer. If someone personally attacks someone, then we will simply leave the attack on the board -- EDIT the post -- leaving it intact, but commenting on the post that we as the moderating team do not feel this is appropriate, and the steps we've taken to fix the problem. We'll send a Private Message to the offender, issue a Moderation point, and ban the person from the thread -- ONLY FROM THE THREAD -- not from the forums! Just the thread itself! How I believe this will help in the long run? 1st -- People will actually begin to see how much "moderating" is being done "openly"! 2nd -- By having posts NEVER hidden -- it'll be easy to refer to "past" infractions as a means of "instructing, and correcting". 3rd -- Hopefully people will change their posting styles! People always try to "win a debate"! In doing so, they forget that sometimes you win -- by laying down the fight for ANOTHER time! Usually in the "heat of battle" a nasty thing appears -- PRIDE! Do you not know that "pride is the source of all contentions!" (Proverbs 13:10a KJV Only by pride cometh contention) If you're truly wanting to change someone's mind -- you have to be CAREFUL not to offend. Why? As Proverbs 18:19 says, "A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle." Remember the instruction that Paul gave to Timothy written in 2 Timothy 2:23-26, Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. The hardest part of this passage is being "kind to everyone" and "patiently enduring evil!" If the first reaction is to trade insult for insult -- then you're failing at being an instructor of the Word! Notice how it concludes -- that God opens their hearts to the TRUTH -- it's not us -- it's the work of God! However, we can do a pretty good job of "hindering" someone coming to the knowledge of the truth by purposely "offending" them! Forgetting by offending them -- you're actually HINDERING the means by which someone comes to the truth. If you have any thoughts, any questions, we're all about transparency -- so ask away! Your brother in the Lord with much agape love, George

Thank you for sharing your time with me, I was a bit nervous, I don't share this with anyone really, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ9daakFIFQ

Well I was gonna explain the 6th seal but it seems like you already have an opinion of when you think the 144,000 are sealed. So I'll save myself the work. Makes me wonder why you asked the question in the OP in the first place and what the logic is why you think the 144,000 are sealed after the tribulation. Everyone knows Israel will go through the tribulation, but why seal them after?

Really? Are they? What makes you suggest that? I'm surprised at that Neighbor. Unless I have misunderstood. As a lost Catholic, I wasn't any less/more lost than a lost Mormon (or atheist). It was the love of a Christian towards this lost Catholic that planted the seed towards my salvation.

Romans 8 King James Version (KJV) 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

If it were me, yes, however I encourage you to spend time in scripture and prayer on the matter, and let the Lord leads. I would research all the times Jesus dealt with baptism, as well as Peter and Paul. Once you've found all the passages that Jesus taught about Baptism a great passage to tie it all together is Romans chapter 6.

You seriously believe that the police and ambulances aren't needed at gay residences? I know a gay couple; one beat the other so severely she was in the hospital. They are afflicted with all the same evils as everyone else. To say otherwise is ludicrous.

Biblical baptism is by immersion only. The word baptize is actually not a proper translation, it's actually a transliteration from the Greek word baptizo, which is the Greek word for immerse. The only reason it was transliterated was to appease the Catholic Church which was, and still is, teaching the false doctrine of immersion. Bottom line is, Jesus said to be baptized by immersion....I see absolutely no reason to do it any other way, as any other way, is wrong. The form, is indeed important, otherwise Jesus wouldn't have been so specific in how it was to be done.

The gay community is well represented in all of the things you listed above. Gay relationships are not the CAUSE of most of the world's problems but they ARE a major symptom of them. Homosexuality is unnatural and an abomination to o the Lord. I did not say this...He did.

You have to feel bad for cowardly people, right?

So is a fish without scales an abomination. Like at Red Lobster. There is a huge list of abominations. Are they all pet peeves? But that passage is saying ----> don't sleep with both. Which we might both agree causes harm to a relationship.

If your are asking me to point out your sins, then I will do that at your request, becasue you are a neighbor. But I'm not hearing that so far.

Of course I tolerate all my neighbors. This takes priority over all other scripture. But that's not my choice. The passages say they take precedence. 38 Bible Verses about the Neighbor - DailyVerses.net

Well, it's not personal, it's just a fact Bro. Nonbelievers are under teh Law, it's why they feel so condemned, 1 Tim 1:9

Would you like scripture to support each of these? We both have them in our Bibles.

I am completely open on my comments. My point being that the police and ambulances are not needed at the residences of your gay neighbors. This is in stark contrast to the other households. I'm just weighing in on facts over rhetoric and fear. I'm explaining that my observations contrast with fear based bias. Oh. I guess you are asking where this is comming from. Here ya go: Matthew 7:12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Luke 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

My point being that the police and ambulances are not needed at the residences of your gay neighbors. This is in stark contrast to the other households. Are the jails filled with Gays? I'd like to know.

Jeremiah had a lot of dealings with Zedekiah. I'm drawing a blank if the King of Babylon replaced him with someone else who was then king for a short time.

Now I'm thinking that was Og.

Well Apostle John said in 1 john to keep his commandments. I don't mean law of Moses.

What is astounding to me is that false doctrine propagates so easily among people who claim to both love and serve Jesus. If they really felt that way, they would not allow any false doctrine to gain a toehold in their life and then proliferate to the point that they are attempting to get other people to join them in their error. How can you both love Jesus and fall for a con at the same time? NOW that is a mighty FINE question their cobalt. and the answer is very simple. JESUS said my sheep hear my voice and the voice of another they will not follow. So WHY does false doctrine propagate so easily among people who claim to both love and serve Jesus. Well I could CLAIM to be neuro surgeon. but AM I..............NOPE and if you watched me long enough trying to perform surgeory , ya would know I was deceived for thinking I was .

Men have long argued over why men wont come to Christ . The only reason one does not come is , they choose not too. However many churches and thelogains placed the blame on the true message. DID I say true message. YES I DID. they saw the true way to evangelize as not RELEVANT , that we needed to change the message and approach up . They sent men out to go door knocking to ASK people WHY they did not like church , or why they did not Go to church or etc. THEY ASKED THE WORLD for its INPUT on how to WIN SOULS. THAT was a DISASTER . ALL WE NEED IS THE HOLY SPIRIT Doctrines , churches , the message was changed to suit what the unbeliever had said would bring them back to church. ANYONE else see the problem yet. See, the ONLY reason one wont come to CHRIST is on them. DID I run from GOD when many treat me bad, NOPE. they ran because THEY DID NOT LIKE SOUND DOCTRINE . SEEKER FRIENDLY , LOOK IT UP , see HOW IT WAS BORN and HOW its taken over the churches in mass now. A LIE from hell but it sure has changed the churches . for the bad. JESUS said all we NEED is to speak by the SPIRIT , all we need to is preach the gospel be grave, be compassionate by operate by the SPIRIT . but satan got the churches tricked and now they may be exploding with numbers , but they exploding with a falling away at the same time . doctrine of purity is gone . doctrine of all inclusive has taken over and this will spiral far worse in soon time . Be blessed now JUSTIN I don't worry about what to say or how to say it . MY FATHER will give me words at that hour to say to any who needs to hear . most will reject , but some will hear.

This is also a good indicator for God creating man-- "to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction (those God foreknew who would be unbelievers); "in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory"--(believers).

I child in grade school recently put moms cat in the oven becasue she was mad at mom. And here you are wasting time with sex orientation thinking about saving humanity. You've been brain washed. And then there is sexual slavery in cities. Also not gay based. There is alcoholism, drug use, and porn...also not gay based. There is divorce and cheating....also not gay based. There are real problems in the world not based on gay relationships.

you are very discerning let us remember what the origin of the scriptural word "israel" is Jacob had to overcome the negative side of the divine also called "God" and the ones among humans that served it, because he preferred being righteous to enjoying the vain pleasures of sin for a while, which is why the true God called him "israel" i.e. one who struggled with the dark side of the divine and people that served it, and overcame - do you think that there had been no people from different nations who had been righteous like Jacob?! Romans 2:26-29 "if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? And he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law? For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God." God is rational, and He prefers spiritual efficiency to vain religiosity, because what if we are very religious but don't bring (full) salvation to humankind?! Blessings

As I suspected. You're a parrot. Demeaning comments and shaming tactics only prove the weakness of your position and confirms the fear you have that you could be wrong. The only accurate order to the end of the age is in Matt 24. The beast will rise in the period called the beginning of sorrows. 3.5 years later, A of D. Then and only then, great tribulation. This will last for around 3 years, maybe less, maybe more. Then and only then will Jesus appear and we will be gathered. After this, the Wrath of God. One coming. One gathering. After the tribulation of those days. As stated in the chapter you have ignored for too long. Matt 24. No other order is possible.

So let’s do a law or commandment study. Think on the following reminders. Look at another woman/man? (LUST) Neighbor’s wife? (COVETOUS) Say something about a brother or sister that was an exaggeration (LIE) (FALSE WITNESS) Call a brother or sister RACA, or say. “Don’t call me brother”, “I'm not your brother”. (HATE) (KILLING) Steal: Paperclip; pen; somebody’s idea; glory from God. (THEFT) Ignoring God’s laws (BEING ONES OWN GOD) (IDOLATRY) Honor the Sabbath (GOD’s and man’s Sabbath of rest and recognition of His Creation) Honor father and mother? Love the Lord your God with everything in you and all you own? Treat your neighbor as well as you treat yourself? PSALM 19 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Satan hates God’s law. One of the subtle ways that he has sought to discredit God’s law has been through the suggestion that since we are saved by grace we no longer need to keep God’s law. 1. Is salvation by grace a license to sin? What does the Bible say about this? 2. What is sin? 1 John 3:4 Sin is the transgression of the law. 3. Which law is it that points out our sin? Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet.” Note: God’s law points out, or reveals sin. In quoting the tenth commandment Paul indicates that the law involved is the Ten Commandment law. 4. Is grace an excuse for sin? Romans 6:1, 2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Note: A person saved by the grace of God will live an obedient life. Grace is not an excuse for breaking God’s law. In fact, the opposite is true. A person saved by grace no longer wishes to dwell in sin or live in disobedience of God’s law. 5. What is the purpose of God’s law? Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Note: The law does not save; it reveals the sinner's need of a Savior. The law does not justify, or cleanse, it only shows our need of cleansing. It is God's great mirror, reflecting the sinner's need of Jesus for cleansing and redemption (James 1:23, 24). 6. How can the Christian be cleansed? 1 John 1:7 … the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. Note: Only through Jesus can people receive cleansing. The Bible is very clear that people are not saved by law-keeping; they are saved solely by the blood of Jesus Christ. He cleanses, and then He provides the power to live a life of obedience. The devil hates God’s law because it makes us aware that we need a Savior from sin. Thus, God's holy law shows people their need of cleansing, but it cannot cleanse. Only Jesus can. 7. How then are people saved? Ephesians 2:8, 9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Note: The New Testament is crystal clear. People are saved solely by what Jesus Christ does for them (grace). Law-keeping and good works are the result of a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, but never a means to obtaining a saving relationship.

I reject the law and accept Christ. The law will not save you, it only condemns you.

We don't rejoice for the battles, but we exalt in the victories that are already won in Christ. It's in times of adversity that millions, great multitudes, will come to know Christ Jesus, as many as the sand which is on the seashore (Genesis 22:17-18). STAYING IN MOTION Consistency in Kingdom advancement is more important than speed or ferocity. After all, eternity is timeless. Sometimes our journey with Jesus may seem like plodding. But, God orchestrates our steps. As long as we're in motion and not stagnating, we're taking ground. May we be able to declare, "For the Lord GOD helps Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced; Therefore, I have set My face like flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed." - Isaiah 50:7. II Samuel 5:10 - "And he (David) became more and more powerful because the Lord God Almighty was with him." Marching upon the path of faith is similar to pumping spiritual iron. Each time we wield the sword, every time we put on the breastplate of righteousness, every time we act in faith, our spiritual muscles grow stronger in Christ Jesus. There are times we do not engage in battle. There are times we simply "stay in the cave" and wait (Judges 15:8; I Samuel 22:1; I Kings 19:9). It's crucial to pray and inquire so we know if, and when, God is sending us to fight. It's difficult to stumble when we're on our knees. The battle belongs to the Lord. Therefore, the defeat of the enemy is in His hands. SometimesSILENCE is the greatest weapon of all, allowing the contender to exhaust himself shadowboxing, while we stay in an attitude of worship--the highest form of warfare. THE DESIRE TO FIX THINGS Often, the battle is not with the devil, but with our own CARNAL NATURE. Our flesh really longs to rise up and fix things, stating our opinion. We must remember--the greater the faith, the fewer the words. If there are some battles or power-struggles going on in your sphere of influence, keep in mind, it's best to always bow lower. After all, God became a baby to conquer the world. For it's, "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, says the Lord" - Zechariah 4:6. II Samuel 5:22-25, "As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, move quickly, because that will mean the Lord has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army." So David did as the Lord commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer." We're living in "move-quickly" days. When you hear the wind in the top of the mulberry trees, move quickly. Delayed obedience can be disobedience. BUILDING OUR SPIRITUAL MUSCLES God uses divine delays, times of testing, false starts, and trial runs to build up our spiritual muscles, and create a tenacious spirit within us. When David did as the Lord commanded him, he knew that God had gone before him, and he struck down the enemy all the way. There's a time of peace and a time of war, a time to weep and a time to laugh. A time to speak, and a time to be silent. A time to wait, and a time to move quickly.

Exactly. And we are to extend the Love of our Father to them and pray for their salvation like we would for any wayward person.

God loves everyone. Not willing that anyone should perish but all come to repentance. We need to love Mormons but not to agree with them. We can in love speak christ to them.

My dream from 10 was to get married. I tried very hard. But for some unknown reason it wasn't God's plan for me. Now my only goal is to obey God and wait for this life to end. The Internet is an amazing thing. If there was no internet I'd be clueless why I'm here. God uses me via the net.

Before One Goes And Kicks Out The Holy Ghost I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 (New International Version) It Might Be Very Wise To Fact Check And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Mark 16:17 (American King James Version) It Seems To Me Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 (English Standard Version) Yes.... For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 14:2 (Berean Study Bible) No? For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you a measure of faith. For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function, so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another. And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith. If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach; if it is exhortation, he must exhort; if it is contributing, he must do so with sincerity; if it is leadership, he must do so with diligence; if it is showing mercy, he must do so with cheerfulness. Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another with mutual love, showing eagerness in honoring one another. Do not lag in zeal, be enthusiastic in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, pursue hospitality. Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people. Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:3-21 (NET Bible) Be Blessed Beloved Of The KING The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27 (King James Bible) Love, Your Brother Joe ~ Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Psalms 119:160 (King James Bible) The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s charter. Here too, Heaven is opened and the gates of Hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents. From The Inside Of My Gideon New Testament

It is very obvious that we are living in the end times. 2 Timothy 3:1-4 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
