I liked seeing what Jesus said in these terms: Turn TO God, vs repent sinner..... Oh, all men are still sinners needing Salvation from eternal judgment, but 'Turn To God' seems more like what Jesus told everyone. And it seems a lot of visiting (and old time) posters not only do not repent, they do not care to turn to God from what is posted. They don't seem to realize that they must turn to God..... if and when they finally do turn to God, for help, SURPRISE! Salvation (Deliverance and Healing and Joy and Peace) (finally) Comes! (paraphrase from The Message Translation that seems very apro-pro) ....

This is rare enough to make note of. ====================================================================================== This may or may not be accurate appraisal. It looks more like 'opinion' of man, though, than statement of Scripture clear and true. ====================================================================================== This at the very least would need to be clarified. (here and previous also - as to definitions to be shown from Scripture: for instance, demons believe, and shudder in terror - so are demons also 'believers' ? Are, more hopeful, for a few, are "believers in Christ" not only believing in Christ, but are IN CHRIST ? So few and so little is understood worldwide about "the kingdom on earth", that is really quite wide open to perhaps a wide path ? =================================================================================================== Again, this looks more like some group's opinion, than a statement from God in Scripture..... so perhaps not only clarification is needed, but also some adjustment/ correction/ to what is the kingdom, what is postponed, what is interrupted, and how is it supposedly interrupted by "dispensation of Grace" ? and how did the "dispensation of Grace", if it is true, become "our dispensation" ?

Yet why do so many so-called 'Christians' fall for the deception? Is it simply and only because they do not turn everything , every thought , hope and dream, everything over to God ? i.e. they hang on to 'sacred cows' type teachings, tickling their ears, protecting something they don't want to turn over to God to believe God ?

GOOD ! This is a starting point. (to be continued later, God Willing)

For starters, read the account of Jesus on the road to Emmaus with the two men who thought Jesus was still dead. From TORAH, PROPHETS, and PSALMS, JESUS REVEALED much about Himself to them from the SCRIPTURES, as Jesus' Father Directed Jesus to do.

?????????? according to what source? according to who ? Simply in reading thru the Bible, and then seeing the last 1500 years history of God's People at times and places when one thousand fell on one side, and ten thousand on another side, but they were not affected, (instead - THEY WERE OFTEN BLAMED for the plague or epidemic or disease ! ) ..... did you NEVER read about God's Promises in the NT, in Revelation, as well as in TORAH, the TANAKH, the PROPHETS and the PSALMS ? All though Scripture, perhaps almost every page, as about Jesus, so also about the Promises AND the curses (for every promise, a curse was given with it also, as God declared) ..... and somewhere it is written: A CURSE without CAUSE, SHALL NOT COME.

Is anything about this difficult to understand ? Why many are sick and dying ? Plainly put in the Bible here , and throughout the Bible.

No. By then, it is too late. (as written in the Bible)

So either you don't know yet, or don't recognize ? when God's People DID NOT get sick and die from sickness, illness, ?

This is SOOOO IMPORTANT -- not to be condemned WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD ! right ?

Just as was published about the so-called SARS years back, or in the last year - pneumonia.... which could have been treated, or pre-treated, and the immune system built up instead of broken down , right ?

Always go by what is written: God Almighty IS A JEALOUS GOD ! He is JEALOUS with a Righteous Anger, Daily, for all the time His 'so-called' people, spend serving the flesh, idols, and demons ! Building up certain Judgment for themselves, world wide.

So you believe the world and the stories the ones opposed to God tell ? (most of the news, and politics, and medical news) EVEN if it was true, which it is not, the PEACE JESUS GIVES, is not shaken by all the world's news - not even by being thrown in prison, martyred, put in a lion's den, or thrown in a super hot furnace !

Cool, could you type out the text ? It does not render on my screen, nor on many cell phone screens apparently ....

Just as written in Scripture prophesy - the wicked will be getting more wicked......

Yes, in truth.Being a huge miracle is exactly what God says is required (to understand anything spiritual requires a miracle). re 1 Corinthians chapter 2 and 3, etc.... In the BIBLE, it is written, "who is 'forcing' them", or who is deceiving them, in the apocalypse chapter 18. (revelation).... Pharmakeia... deceives the WHOLE WORLD. Everyone, top to bottom, the whole world.... (except the elect, chosen by God)....

Since all the so-called "authorieits on all the broadcasts for the last month or more, have admitted or confessed or proclaimed that most people WILL NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS, guess what ? The tests can be altered, just like the tests for breast cancer nationwide (resulting in thousands of lawsuits), and other diseases... and the results can be altered, political or medical or social planning instituted, ad lib (as in the past).... Many people I 'know' had 'covid' BEFORE it was in the news, and had little or no symptoms, none any worse than a mild cold for a few hours, AS THE PRESIDENT and vice president pence both said several times in the last few weeks.... The ones at risk ARE FEW to start with, then the RISK GETS GREATER over a greater number of people, the MORE GOVERNEMTN intervenes.... the way it has.

Thus confirmed, not contradicted. Do not trust those opposed to God, sons of disobedience living daily in sin and planning wickedness even at night for the next day.

As written in Bible, who is enemy? "society" ! Thus, why believe "society" ? , ever ? ! God calls society death-dealing, pernicious, wicked so bad that society seeks to bring everyone on earth down to destruction with it.

Is ANY Biblically True Reason posted so far, or known, that shows why so many , or so few, are getting sick and dying ? Is there ANY Biblical verse, chapter, time, when God's People were sick , and many dying ? If so, what was the cause then ?

Be skeptical, especially online, and in churches. The false gospels are much much much more common and prevalent, and false prophets and false teachings are more common, everywhere, than the truth is. Everything must be tested and proven true in line with all Scripture BEFORE it is accepted, or the messenger too, and BEFORE building anything upon it - or it will fall down.... It is better to be or to feel 'lost and shaky' about this stuff.... than to accept it and be led far astray from God and from His Word. Get back to , and stay on , His Word, Solid Ground, in Jesus, as Revealed by the Father, in all things, all the time, every day, every moment of every day.

It is all written in His Word, the Bible, yes KJV, ESV, Phillips, pick your choice - it is written already, and yet many know neither His Word, nor the Power of God. (the Truth either) but manmade myths instead - tradition instead, opposed to all God's Word, as written. Why multitudes get it wrong ? Is written in the first couple chapters of 1 Corinthians.... re the "spiritual" man.... vs the unspiritual men, clearly different, clearly described in Scripture, with perfect harmony , no contradictions.

watch anything you have watched, it doesn't do any good, does it ? Like posts below - if that is the way of the world to think, it is not at all in line nor in harmony with Scripture, is it ? i.e. trusting those who seemingly are being trusted, leads to God's Curse, as God Says, in His Word - do not trust men/flesh/ canral society... including professors or the 'wisdom of the world' which God rightly calls stupid, folly, foolishness... If you can explain, contrary to , opposed to, and instead of God's Word, why people are dying, go ahead... do so. God already shows why, all through all of His Word, PERFECTLY.... and only a little has been posted in answer to the posts asking why it happens -- God is not at all surprised, and He knows who are His, and who is doing what is right, as God says (not as men who are opposed to Him and opposed to His Word always say ). God's Promises in Scripture are totally and always true...... men are not faithful though.

Jesus said Jesus never spoke of nor from Himself, but always from the Father, as written, and as seen, through all Scripture, through all of His Life, through every Word of His, and every Action.... all from and of and relying totally on the Father, as necessary.

PHILLIPS The time has evidently arrived for God’s judgment to begin, and it is beginning at his own House. And if it starts with us, what is it going to mean to those who refuse to obey the Gospel of God? ‘If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?’. This has nothing to do with the winnowing described in Scripture, which winnowing is accomplished by the angels of God. The unity, or the union , as described in the NT, of the Ekklesia, was accomplished by the Father in Heaven, already in ACTS, etc.... and in later centuries too, though unknown publicly, then and today, in or to the world.... 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 But the unspiritual man simply cannot accept the matters which the Spirit deals with—they just don’t make sense to him, for, after all, you must be spiritual to see spiritual things. The spiritual man, on the other hand, has an insight into the meaning of everything, though his insight may baffle the man of the world. This is because the former is sharing in God’s wisdom, and ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?’ Incredible as it may sound, we who are spiritual have the very thoughts of Christ!
