Where have you found that I have denied the Word of God? I have a great understand about the Gospel of Christ Jesus, what His message is and the Gospel of Salvation, Repentance and Grace is very much alive in my life. The Words of Christ Jesus comes alive in dreams and vision. I do have my Heavenly Father, who is the Father of Spirits, The Anointed One, The Son who is the Father, the Father of Peace and Truth, and the Author and Finisher of all things. He is of the LIGHT and from Everlasting Life. He is the SON of MAN. When He returns, He harvests His Elect from the four corners of the Earth. He is the Father of the ELECT. The Heavens roll up as a scroll when He appears and He is the one who is on the Great White Throne of Judgment. He also knows who are His and they are very close to Him. Have you ever seen the heavens roll up as a scroll and a 'God' is then seen looking closely at you, with a kind face? I have. There is also my KING and LORD who is the WORD of GOD, through whom all things were created. The WORD became flesh and dwelt among us. He too is a Holy Spiritual Spirit. He seeds Humans with the LIGHT seed of the Spirit upon entering the world. This is our spiritual Mind which Christ renews and feeds through His Word. He is KING of kings and LORD of lords. He will return with His army of Angels to judge the Nations and leaders, as well as the Fallen Ones who rule here. He also removes His Church from the world. Have you seen Our LORD coming in the clouds with His army of Angels? I have. Yes, and there is Jesus Christ, Our Saviour and Redeemer. The LAMB of God who died on the cross and takes away the sins of the world, who is also the Son of God. He is risen. There is LIGHT and there is FIRE as well as WATER or flesh. Those of the FIRE are the Ones who rule over both Created Realms, where Humans and Angels dwell. The created Heavens and the Earth. They rule over the flesh and the SOUL. The Heavens that are destroyed when our KING returns belong to created things which are temporary and is of the FIRE and not the LIGHT. Here is a question: How many 'beings/ gods' in the Old Testament appear as LIGHT beings, or Beings appearing in the LIGHT? How many appear in the FIRE? Fire Beings and LIGHT Beings are not from the same place. Fortunately for us Humans, we are made of Water, Fire and LIGHT. TRUTH the Comforter is also a Holy ONE who is from the LIGHT. Is He present in your life; do you acknowledge His presence? I know my Father and my KING and they know me. So tell me, where have I erred in my understanding of the Truth? Perhaps it is you who should be examining your own beliefs. M.

Apolloyon is the Angel over the army from the Abyss. Apolloyon is an Angel who is imprisoned over the Abyss. The Abyss is like a sea with dark choppy water. The water is such that if you fell into it on your back, you will sink on your back; you cannot move in it. How do I know since it is not written in Scripture? I am sure that is what you are thinking, right? Here is a true testimony and Jesus Christ is my witness. Firstly, I have always believed in Jesus as being the Son of God and Saviour; that He died on the cross and was resurrected on the third day, and He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I grew up a Catholic. At eighteen, I renounced the RC Church and was told by the Father I prayed to to go and find Jesus. I did and I found Him, however He was different from the one I knew before. I have always had strange dreams and visions and during that time after I left the RC Church in 1978, I had my first two very strange 'dreams', except I was a child of around seven years old. I will not go into the first one, but the second one is what I want to tell. As a result of that pivotal time in my life, many things were going on. One night I went to sleep and woke up as a seven year old dressed in shinning white shirt, skirt, socks, shoes and white ribbons in my hair. My clothing was white light. I found myself in a very strange place where the clouds above were dark and seemed very low. I began to walk and then I looked on my left and saw a great black sea with choppy waters. I knew that I had to get out of there and in order to do so, I had to cross the Abyss to get to the other side. Not seeing any way to cross, I continued walking along the shore. The clouds over the Abyss were lightly lit, but over the land they were dark. As I walked I noticed that directly in front of my path was some kind of creature just lying like a sleeping dog, and his body was lying over the Abyss. This creature was huge, perhaps a couple of city blocks long. I could not tell what it was, whether dragon or dog or whatever. I continued walking towards the creature. His head was resting on front 'paws' and I could see great chains on his arms and legs and a huge collar around his neck. He was chained over the Abyss. I was not afraid of the creature and continued walking towards its direction, still trying to find a way to cross. Bye the way, how I ended up there, or why is understood. As I got closer to the creature, he opened his eyes and looked at me and asked, 'How are you going to cross?' He did not move, he just laid there in his great metal chains. I looked across the Abyss where the lit clouds were and noticed that there were about five others in shiny clothing walking across the Abyss, but not stepping on it. I then looked at the dark water and stepped in, however my feet did not touch the water and I was able to walk across in the direction of the others I saw. After a short time Jesus appeared, dressed in bright shinning white robe and He took my left hand; He did not speak, but when He took my hand, we were on land and away from the Abyss. He took me to a huge, great wall, and he walked up to it and put His hand on the wall and a great door opened, that led to a garden. Then I awoke. For me it was very real. Was it Apolloyon I saw? This testimony is true. M.

One of the most interesting things I understand about some Christians is that the Bible which includes the Old and New Testaments are the only texts they will even consider, while ignoring all other texts. There are Christians texts available today from the early Church, which were hidden by the Catholic Church from since the Church was persecuted in the first centuries when Christian knowledge was purposefully destroyed or in some cases taken and hidden. For most Christians it does not matter because they will not look at anything that is not in the Bible. We do have a discerning mind and can tell what is not from Christ. There are Christian texts which the early Church used that we do not use today in which you will find the identity of the Two Witnesses. I also believe and know that there is so much more available knowledge to seek and find. In the Last Days, knowledge becomes very important in that along with Salvation and Repentance will take you to the place you reach; and in the Last Days knowledge shall increase. What do you suppose that means? M.

Firstly, I never said anything about the USA reigning down fire. We were discussing the Dragon with seven heads and ten horns not the False Prophet. I will not debate this with you. You say that I have the spirit of the Devil... well Christ knows who I am and so does Elijah the Prophet. The Heavens are actual places that were created in the beginning and in the end they will crash down one on top the other and fall down into the Abyss. We-Christians are all trying to understand the prophecies and the times and we all want to believe that our interpretations are true. I have waged spiritual warfare against the Gates of Hell with Jesus and the Father at my side. I have seen the glorious LIGHT appear when I called on Jesus on different occasions to deliver me from these despicable ones, and watch as they scampered like cockroaches back into the darkness when the LIGHT appeared. I know my Father and I know my KING and they know me, and they are always here for me whenever I need them, which is a lot. Take care. M.

Personally, I have many thoughts about this. I am still seeking the right answers, I do have many answers to the same questions. I could tell you some of the things I have found and seen, but I do not think the time is right. There will be an 'alien' connection mixed in with all of this insanity of the Last Days. There is even a group of individuals who claim to be the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, however they are not found here in our world and some of the Jews today in Israel are awaiting their return. I know this to be truth. The Gentile army occupies Jerusalem for that time; I did not say they were from another world, but, they could be. I also know there will be a lot of sorcery and possession happening then. What about the army of Apolloyon? His army does come to Earth. Do you suppose this all happens on a spiritual level and we will not see the army here? Not saying that this is the 'alien' army, and of course they are not really 'aliens' as in coming from another part of the Universe; these all belong to the army of Satan. The Great Deception. These are all Fallen Ones and those who were freed from the underworld in order to come to the Earth to be seized and thrown in Lake of Fire and the Bottomless Pit. There are a lot of details and crazy things happening. This army is marching and will continue to attack Humans from so many fronts and on every level. Hope you are armed and ready. M.

From all of my studies, including the Apocrypha, yes, there will be an army... an 'alien' army, not Humans and not from around here coming to the Earth during the Last Days. Look, let me state here that I have read many ancient religious texts, most are Christian related or Law related. Mainly, I seek out information, the details of so many things written but without additional biblical knowledge. I have learned so many things, but it does not mean that I believe everything I read. All I want to say is that there is a lot of prophecy explained in religious texts available for anyone who is a seeker and wants to go seek outside the Bible. Here is something I read about the Anti-Christ. The one who gets an image made. He rises on Earth when the third trumpet blows. The star that falls from the sky and wormwood has to do with him. The waters are people. I also read that when he goes to Jerusalem, he will build the temple with fire from his mouth. He carves it out of the mountain. I think this 'alien army' is mentioned a few times in Scripture. I think they are on their way. Have you seen what is happening in the skies lately and NASA is running 'asteroid collision' drills. He also worships the God of Forces who is Sabaoth. Have you ever heard of this god? Here is some from the APOCRYPHA. I also posses an Authorized KJV with the Apocypha. 2ESDRAS Chapter 5:1-13 Nevertheless as coming the tokens, behold, the days shall come, that they which dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith. 2 But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou seest, or that thou hast heard long ago. 3 And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly. 4 But if the most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day: 5 And blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled: 6 And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together: 7 And the Sodomitish sea shall cast out fish, and make a noise in the night, which many have not known: but they shall all hear the voice thereof. 8 There shall be a confusion also in many places, and the fire shall be oft sent out again, and the wild beasts shall change their places, and menstruous women shall bring forth monsters: 9 And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends shall destroy one another; then shall wit hide itself, and understanding withdraw itself into his secret chamber, 10 And shall be sought of many, and yet not be found: then shall unrighteousness and incontinency be multiplied upon earth. 11 One land also shall ask another, and say, Is righteousness that maketh a man righteous gone through thee? And it shall say, No. 12 At the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain: they shall labour, but their ways shall not prosper. 13 To shew thee such tokens I have leave; and if thou wilt pray again, and weep as now, and fast even days, thou shalt hear yet greater things. I look at the Apocrypha as additional information, because that is what it is. It makes no difference to your faith whether you believe it or not. M.

For me it is very clear. I have also had knowledge from other religious texts as to the identity of the Two Witnesses and I will stand by my belief that they are Enoch and Elijah. Part of the reasoning here is that these two never died the Human death and they have to die in order to enter into the Kingdom. I also understand that many will not see death- those who are alive and remain at the appearing of our LORD, however I am certain of these two being the witnesses. REVELATION Chapter 11:3-12 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. M.

The Red Dragon could be China and its Communist- Atheist, Satanic agenda. China does claim to possess NINE territories. Nine plus one make TEN HEADS. Look at the great persecution taking place there. Xi is president for life and he is in the business of harvesting Christian organs for sale on the black market. The other Beast is the religious system. The Ten horns will come into power when the Anti-Christ is ruling. Pope Francis is the seventh head and the next Pope who will be here very soon, imminent, will be the Anti-Christ. M.

There is no need for me to defend what I have written. 'Remember the Seven Thunders' . We are living in the Last Days. Soon Anti-Christ and False Prophet will appear on the scene, along with 'others' we have not seen before. Some of us have been sealed from above. Some of us are also shown visions of our KING and LORD coming with His Army in the clouds. Some of us have seen the Heavens roll back as a scroll. Some of us will be like Philip was when he receive the Holy spirit and went to explain the Gospel to the Ethiopian Eunuch... being able to cover great distances in short time. My Heavenly Father is the Son of Man- who is the Father of Spirits, and my KING is the WORD of GOD and my Saviour is Jesus Christ. Remember the Seven Thunders... M.

I never said it was God. Not sure what we are discussing here. The Two Witnesses causes all manner of plagues to come upon the Earth during the three and a half year reign of Anti-Christ. Abaddon kills them. He is Angel over the army. I do not think he is Anti-Christ, but he is also another fallen one. M.

I do understand that it is all spiritual when concerning Christ Jesus. Elijah returns in the Last Days, in spirit and as one of the Two end time prophets. The spirit of Elijah appears to the children. He comes to them in a dream-vision descending from Heaven in a cloud of Light. He wears colourful shining robes and he introduces himself and identifies the children by knowing their names. To many the spirit of Elijah has already come. MALACHI Chapter 4:5-6 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Sorry about the error in replying. I believe what I responded to was your comment on the Two Witnesses killing Catholics in Rome and Europeans. I never saw that in the Bible. The two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah. I know they are and they are killed in Jerusalem after preaching for three and a half years. Apollyon/Abaddon will kill them as stated in the prophecy. M.

Bible Verses (taking turns posting a verse from a Bible book)
Marlene S replied to angels4u's topic in Study Group
Did not Jesus dying on the cross cover all sins, except one? Unless you are a Jew, who is not a Christian, you are under the Law along with the rest of the world. It is strange for me as a follower of Christ to see so many different worshiping in different ways. Jesus said that it is not what goes into your mouth that defiles you, but what comes out. There are many Jewish rituals and I guess if we choose to follow them as Christians, that is our choice. I have a different understanding when it comes to worshiping. When Jesus Christ (the Christ) spoke, He told us about the New Covenant. In the Law of Moses there is no Salvation and Eternal Life for Humans, since no one can live a life without disobeying any one of the Laws. You break one, you break them all. The Laws are based on actions, things we do. It also covers our desires of the heart- lust and greed- covetousness, which also lead to sin. The penalty for sin is death. According to the Law, we will all die in our sins. In the new Covenant, Jesus told us about thought sins, where even thinking about killing someone is the same as actually killing them. Or entertaining inappropriate sexual thoughts about someone outside your marriage is just the same as sleeping with them... thought crimes. We communicate with Christ Jesus on the spiritual level. Our minds are being renewed while our hearts are purified. This may be very controversial to post, but this is a part of my testimony. Jesus removed us from under the penalty of the Law and the Law is not abolished, it was fulfilled. Jesus brought a New Covenant. He brought us New things, which are apart from the Law. He told the Jews that they did not know His Father, since they disagreed with the things He spoke. He also said that no one has seen the Father except he who came from the Father. When I became a Christian in 1979, I could not come to see the God of Israel as 'Father' since the Law did not offer the things my spirit desired. I did not know there was a Father of those who desired to become spiritually manifest in the Light. At that time in my life, I had renounced my Catholicism. I had only one promise I took from from Jesus and that was: ask and you shall receive. seek and you shall find and knock and it shall be opened to you. Almighty God does not seem like the God who is the Father of the Elect- the Perfect spiritual Ones. He does not offer us a spiritual experience and Christ does. His focus is that of the Souls of Humans. I prayed to a God whom I did not know existed, and I received a thought reply to go and find Christ Jesus. I did and He also offers us that journey to become manifest as Perfect sons of God. My spiritual Father is The Son of Man- who is the Father of Spirits; it has always been Him, however I discovered that later on. My coming to Jesus was perhaps a bit different that most, but at that time in my life, I was lost and in a lot of inner turmoil, especially about identity and sin and guilt; and this was not physical identity, in terms of ancestry, or even finding a career, this was a spiritual identity crisis, because at that time in my life, something awoke in me, and there was only one thought in my mind always, even today, and that is: I must become manifest a spiritual being, in the Light. It must happen. It will happen, it has happened. Some of you might think I am blaspheming, however I know my testimony is true. 'No one comes to me unless my Father sends him;, and no one comes to the Father, except through me.' Jesus said. For me, this is a spiritual journey, and the God of the Law will judge the world and Humans in the world, according to the Law. The physical calamities we face is of the God of the Law. Christ Jesus does not interfere with the weather and such, or with plagues on Humans. He is not the God of Vengeance, neither is The Son of Man. All of this to say that Some have seen the Father of the Elect, and The KiNG- the WORD, and know where they belong. It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles you, it it what comes out. M. -
OUR ROYAL HERITAGE IN OUR LORD. Today, our world is very divided and this division can also be found in the Church- the Body of Christ. Jesus did warn us than many will fall away, and many will be deceived by a false and lying doctrine; basically the doctrine of demons. Did you know that the actual false teachers appearing in many churches today and misleading the flock, were specifically trained to become false ministers, with the sole purpose of destroying those who are called to Salvation? They actually go to 'seminary' to learn how to deceive and mislead the flock, especially the new Christians who hear the ;calling' and are looking to find a place to worship. These new ones are easily led astray, especially since the have not yet received their anointing and still have the love of the world within their hearts. They are led to embrace the doctrine of Satan as they sing and dance with ungodly music and lying words. These false men and women teachers and ministers are only in it for the money, which provides for them a great and lavish life-style. How is it possible that the LGBTQXYZ movement has made it into the church and is destroying many lives? This is an orchestrated effort by Satan and his minions to corrupt the lives of those who are seeking after Jesus and His Saving Grace. I wanted to post something positive today, and I thought about some of the REWARDS we will receive as Followers of Christ Jesus. There are actually five Crowns reserved and laid up for us among our 'Heavenly Treasures'. As I was thinking about how to approach this topic, a thought came to me to go to this: REVELATION Chapter 3: 7-12 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. .................................................. Here are FIVE CROWNS we receive as reward. 1. Crown of Incorruptibility- this one we receive for running the race and never giving up. Staying true to the word and fighting the good fight, until the end. 1CORINTHIANS Chapter 9:24-27 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. …........................................ 2. Crown of Rejoicing- This one we receive for winning Souls and being in the presence of Our LORD at His coming. 1THESSALONIANS Chapter 2:19 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? …........................................... 3. Crown of Righteousness- This one we receive for 'loving His Appearing'.2TIMOTHY Chapter 4:7-8 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. …............................................... 4. Crown of Life- This one we receive for our persecution and trials,and also for our Love of the LORD. REVELATION Chapter 2:9-10 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Also- JAMES Chapter 1: 12 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. ….................. 5. Crown of Glory- This one is given to the Faithful Pastors and Ministers who feed the flock. 1PETER Chapter 5:1-4 1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. ............ We must continue in our walk and do as we are commanded by Our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ. We must also pray for the spirit of Humility and Meekness and Grace to always be with us, because it is very challenging to be as we ought to be, especially when we live in a world where evil is being nurtured and cultivated right before our very eyes... the tares are being made ready for the harvest. These are a few of the things I have to understand, especially Meekness. Christ Jesus is LORD and KING and we wait in our blessed hope for His appearing. Peace and Love to you all in Christ Jesus. M.

The foods of this world do not nourish the Soul or spirit, yet they continue to be eaten. We also have bread at the table, except we do not know who we really serve, or whether or not the table is clean and acceptable. Perhaps it is not so much courage, although I do agree, but boldness. For those of us who seek and find, there is something that is so hidden, that even if it is found, it cannot be revealed. What are we to do? I think we will wait for the appearance of the Two Witnesses. They will have the power to speak this truth. M

Christians love to discuss and study PROPHECY. The ones who hate hearing about it are usually those who are not Christians. They do not like to hear about the 'bad things' because they have not hope. Christians love to hear about prophecy, because our Blessed Hope is tied up in the promises of Jesus, which is PROPHECY. Does not prophecy even address those who do not want to hear the truth, but want to hear good and positive things about the future of the planet and their lives. Tell us the good things, we do not want to hear negative things... M.

I believe he will be occupying a Human body, but he is not a man in that sense that you are a man. 'Son of perdition'- Anti-Christ. He may look like a man, but he is not a man, neither is the false-prophet. In his case there was a body that is being prepared for him, 'and when the boy becomes of age, he enters and performs signs and wonders. I just want to say this. My understanding/search concerning these 'men' have led me to several places outside the Bible, as to their identities in some of the works they will perform here in order to deceive us. Even Satan is a 'man' who is not a man... These are Fallen Ones. M.
-
I mean no disrespect. The names are found in Scripture and I am a seeker and I just thought I would get an answer. I also am washed in the blood of the Lamb and received a seal on my forehead from a bolt of white lightning which came from beyond the clouds not too long ago. The Prophet Elijah has appeared to me and told me he knows my name. I saw him descending in light from the clouds. My Father is the Son of Man- who is the Father of Spirits, together with His WORD- the KING of kings and LORD of lords. There is great deception coming, even already here, as well as great revelation... and some of the children actually get to see their Father and even their enemies. I will tell you this: there is the Human Spirit, who is a son of the Living Father. Human Spirits are like Angels, they are HUGE. Imagine yourself tens stories tall, dressed in fine white garments and made of glorious Light. That is what Humans are destined to become, some of us. Those who will judge with Christ when He imprisons and destroys the Fallen ones... the 'gods'. Look up in the skies... the gods are coming!!! I also think that names are important, at least they are important to me; they also reveal identity. Christ is LORD and KING. M.

I do not agree with my interpretation either. Like I said at the end of the post. I really do not know why I posted it; even after reading it before posting, it did not sound right, but I submitted anyway. I really felt so bad afterwards, by that time I realized I could not delete it. I still feel bad for posting it; a little feeling in my stomach that has not gone away as yet. I even prayed about it. I have always tried very hard to only post what I know to be truth. I don't think I have ever felt this way before, because of something I posted. Interesting though... I do apologize. By the way, what is your interpretation of the Ten Virgins. M.
-
I have a question and it is very important to know what you think or what the answer is. In the Scriptures, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is referred to by several names. Just as in your post here we have the name Adonai, which actually means kingship. There is also the name Elohim, which means Jealousy. There is the name Yahweh, which means lordship, and the name Sabaoth, which means Deity. All these names are found in Scripture. My questions is: are these names- Adonai, Elohim, Yahweh, different names for the God of Abraham, or are these names the names of individual entities? Can you provide an answer; it would be much appreciated. Thx, M.

I love J Vernon McGee. I still listen to his sermons, which are on daily on Total Christian Radio in my neck of the woods. He really tells it like it is. It really is true that many, if not most Christians do not take the time to read and study the Bible. I pray that I am not deceived; I also know that no Human can deceive me, and as we are told, Anti-Christ deceives the whole world, even those who call themselves Christians. Only the Elect are not deceived, although it implies that it is possible to deceive some of the Elect. It is so sad what is happening in the Church body today, and it is not only because people are ignorant of the word, it is also because there are so many 'copyright' versions of the Bible out there with false information, leading many astray. Did you know that a copyrighted version of the Bible implies that at least ten percent of the contents have been changed or omitted? People also have to be mindful when choosing a Bible. I prefer the Authorized King James Version. I have three different copies, only one is copyrighted which is because it contains the 14 Books of the Apocrypha. The King James Version is also different from the Authorized King James Version. It is complicated being a Follower of Christ Jesus, really complicated, especially having to find the true foods to eat. Peace in Christ Jesus. M.

Your post is interesting. Personally, I should not have posted that response because I was uncertain, because I realized it could be wrong. Not sure why I did. I guess you can say that all parables have the same meaning. I do not agree with everything you said, specifically: "Furthermore, the foolish virgins CANNOT be the Jews, because they will NOT accept Jesus until the very end of the tribulation (the acceptance will be the trigger that brings Jesus back)." The wise Virgins took oil with them, the foolish ones did not. It is all about the anointing. I can also see that it speaks of the Church because it is the Bridegroom. The 144,000 are sealed because they know our LORD and they are with Him all the time; they too belong to the Church. Do you not think that the 'meat' in due season could be the receiving of the Holy Spirit which the 144,000 receives when they are sealed? Just a curious question. M.

Being not of this world does not have to do with DNA, it refers to the world-system. The Satanic world-system. It is very important if you are a Follower of Christ Jesus that you understand you are responsible for your own education when it comes to the Bible. Many Christians like to be spoon-fed in Church on Sundays, while they never even open their Bibles the rest of the week. It is so very easy to deceive those ones who do not seek and find the things they need to know, so as not to be deceived by the False teachers. Every Christian should be able to spot a false teacher. No one knows the day or the hour, so if someone tells you this is the date for the end of the world, you should not listen to them, even if it is your church preacher, I would run from that church as fast as I can. Christians have a great responsibility to be certain that they seek and find and study the word of God, so as not to be deceived. There are many false prophets and wolves in sheep's clothing in the church today... and many are being deceived. The best thing one can do is to make sure that they are worshiping in spirit and in truth; and Christians should become scholars of the Bible so as not to be deceived. Some will be deceived while others will not. Are you saved? M.
