Well, that is correct, right ? You falsely accused people (or just 'assumed') of knowing how to live and to think as a Christian, including self. From Scripture, in line with Scripture only, one side is right. That's how it has always been, as Jesus taught in the NT, as Yahweh taught in the TORAH and in the OT . And of course, as His Spirit Reveals, Always.

Remember that is the truth about almost anyplace, almost everyplace, you ever go.

No. That's not (doesn't seem to be sound) good advice.

Would you yourself 'run the gauntlet' every day, or over and over and over again, through unbelievers and s0-called 'believers' too ? Would you do it if you did not have the armor ? (breastplate of righteousness, ........ ) etc .... >> Ephesians 6:14-24New International Version (NIV) 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

As you have experienced , likewise, he will stick around anyway, tempting and tricking as many 'believers' as he can, every day, without letup as written "traps are laid every day, even in the house of God" ...... And the "tricks" (traps/ deceptions) are often through the different (very present) groups, doctrines and leaders....

" 5 Let your [a]character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] [b]Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor [c]give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [d][I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor [e]let [you] down ([f]relax My hold on you)! [[g]Assuredly not!] 6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?"

See Yahweh's Promises throughout all of His Word. (HIS Promises for NOW, for TODAY, whoever hears His Word .... ) And Jesus' admonition/ instruction to all the ones born again. "The gentile (heathen) worry about all those things (food, pharmacy, clothes, place to stay, enemies) ...." But BE OF GOOD CHEER, "I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD"....... i.e. no worries. no fear. no doubting. Rather REJOICE ! Always, and "again I say REJOICE! " (as Yahweh continually says in His Word) .....

Maybe somewhere that is true, but not on this forum. The enemy has pretty much free reign over most visitors, and that hasn't gotten better over the years, only worse.

Maybe. The sheep? Jesus leads His sheep to "still waters" and "green pastures". Only His sheep.

Sorry, no. (That is , Jesus visited tax collectors, adulterers, and thieves, and HIS Testimony is PERFECT) .... "DO NO" evil. Period. zip. zilch. zero....... No matter what you do, if you seek truth , you will be accused of the same things Jesus was accused of and more.....

It would be great! if the Bible was easier to understand. But since the first century, the true meaning of the Scripture has been hidden from more people, instead of revealed. A few translations may seek to reveal the true meaning, but most (english) translations seem to make it more difficult to see the true meaning. (for instance, in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, there is clearly no support for most of the pre-trib doctrines abounding today through the false teachings of macarthur who supports getting the mark of the beast openly.) That the false teachers are actually promoting the mark of the beast is or should be astonishing to anyone who can read or who just trusts Jesus (why , why would ANYONE who trusts Jesus get the mark OF THE BEAST !?!?! instead of Yahweh's Seal ? )

What 'explanation' ?

The pre-trib is not the root of the trouble. That is just the leaves on the tree of other false doctrines/ practices/ lives/ beliefs. i.e. No one can change the leaves of a tree without changing the tree deeper - at the root/ cause. Any conversation concerning tribulation (pre- , post- , mid- , any-) on the interent is basically [apparently] speculative and resting on other 'authority', not actually on Scripture. Same as catholics who admit their authority is not Jesus, others have admitted they believed a man who was wrong , and that is all that is needed to end the conversation. Until they see , Yahweh Willing, that the man they believed lied, nothing else will change their mind, not even God's Word. (since they put their trust in a lie).

In the world, of the world, a "christian" blatantly breaks ALL OF THEM, every day. Of course, that's not the born again Christians. It is 'christendom' that is part of babylon.

There's almost 2 billion souls lost who might never ever open the Bible to read it. They have NO Biblical reason at all, none, for rejecting ANY of the commandments , yet they reject the 1st, the 2nd, the 4th, and a few others. They "assume" their religious leaders/system/ will justify or defend them on Judgment Day. (the blind leading the blind). If they read the Bible, and read what their religious leaders/ system ADMIT OPENLY AND PUBLICLY, they would know that their religious leaders/ system/ has IN PRINT ADMITTED, OPENLY and PUBLICLY, that they (their religious leaders/ system) changed the commandments. Yep. They are some god's representative on earth. So they just changed the commandments, they admit it, and they have often put to death all those who opposed them. (besides killing the souls and the chances for most of those 2 billion others to find out the truth) .....

If you do follow Jesus, good. Eventually you will stop contradicting His Word, Yahweh Willing. For now, you are opposed to His Word, whether wittingly or unwittingly . i.e. you are directly contradicting His Word in most of your posts.

That is a really hard question today. If someone goes to a church where the pastor or elders or deacons, as well as ten percent of the congregation commits adultery or just believes it is okay , is that then an indicator that such persons/ a church/ is not saved ? < shrugs > God is merciful and just. Is HE THAT MERCIFUL ?

Yes, a waste of time and effort. A new heart seeking after Yahweh's Kingdom, seeking Truth from Yahweh is needed. "Elephant's are pink" is similar to your posts. No one can quote any Scripture to show that that is contrary to Scripture, can they ?! That's because Scripture does not say anything about Elephants being pink. Likewise you have believed men instead of God - Scripture does not say anything in line with your posts/ideas concerning 'pre-trib'. Those are all sourced from babylon and/or roman catholicism, and meant to do just what they did: deceive many.

Why are you interested in anyone's views ? What does God's Word say ? Can you show from the original Scripture in the original Ten Commandments any Commandment that says lying is always wrong or that lying always sin ?

The heresy by R.Nicholas is not a new one. He is simply a 'new player' on the block, deceiving you and others with his fraud.

"Elohim" , "Echad", find same in Old Testment and New Testament referring to men. (particular, 'peculiar' men)

Do you follow that heretic R.Nicholas ? He denies Yahweh's Word and not only opposes Yahweh, but teaches others to.....

... work six days, and on the seventh day (sunset 6th day to sunset 7th day), rest. (cease)

Most "Christendom" already is willing to accept the mark. They have been taught it is okay (by the p&pe, b&sh&ps, pr&&sts, p&st&rs, t3&ch&rs, and 'evil'-angelists ... (every day, for generations now, for years lately more and more ) .... . (of course, an error that costs them their soul; and those who taught the error a far far greater torture/judgment for condemning so many ) .....

"Back to the Bible" is needed so much. So many have not or can not "stand firm" on God's Word yet, as they have other 'authorities' contrary to God's Word in their lives, such as the so-called ecf, or sda, or whoever, instead of God's Word. They often do not recognize that the house was built on sinking sand, and not on a firm foundation, so what can they do ?
