Yahweh through Yeshua(Jesus) spoke parables, illustrating the Kingdom of Heaven, etc ... The enemy through the rcc spoke (/carried/) myths, illustrating how naive and gullible 2 billion people are in following men outside of Christ. So, test everything, as Yahweh Says, by prayer continually (abiding in Jesus), and by His Word as He Gives His Wisdom and HIs Understanding.. DWELL on HIS WORD; MEDITATE all day and all night on HIS WORD.

This is one case where a particular commentary might be truthfully helpful. (many times they might not be, variously). The servant in charge of the books, handling his masters accounting, was paid by charges he ADDED to the bill. This was common practice for how they were paid. Many accountants today do this also, btw. Anyhow, the servants in charge of collecting the debts were not required to disclose how much their fee was - the one paying the bill would just pay the whole bill, and the servant would be paid by what he had added to his master's charges. Many servants (then as now, today) would charge more than was just , more than was rightly to be expected, but the "customers" could do nothing about this, (most likely), as they simply were shown the final bill, which they would pay, happily or not. So when the servant "DEDUCTED" from the bill, it was his to do - he reduced his own fees/charges from the bill, to gain favor with the master's customers, in the hope they would later hire him in gratitude (or other reasons). He was not stealing nor robbing from his master in doing this (reducing his own fee thus reducing the total to be billed/ collected). The master still received all that the master was due.

Since "everyone"* is in the frying pan (all in error, and all around them in error), where can they hope to go to see the truth ? *everyone except those set apart by YHWH for Himself, for His Testimony on earth amongst all the nations.

Yes, that(i.e. 'stories'/fables not in line with Scripture) may be a similar digression that allowed error in the first few centuries to be adopted in the assemblies, by the religious leaders outside of Christ, and then the one world church.... (in the 3rd century and continued through the centuries with greater and greater deceptions and devastation)

He doesn't have to convince anyone - God's Word is sufficient . It is not as if ONLY the pre-trib (particular) teachings and practices are false, but many practices and teachings ASSOCIATED WITH the false pre-trib beliefs are wrong also, accoding to Scripture , simply. It is a deep mess, miry clay, a whole system that is gone astray and bringing people down with it.

Brief realization just now - posters/members have been in the frying pan all of their lives, being "boiled" slowly (immersed in a pernicious system, lies, that acts like it is there/here to help; ) So like Jesus says: To be MY disciple , you must leave EVERYTHING(the whole world system, everything they have been being boilt by) behind. "the frog jumps out"! Get out of darkness, and seek and come into the LIGHT (JESUS) ....

Amein. The "truth" is called a lie (by science sold out), and the lie is published as truth (by science sold out) .... The Promise of Yahweh (God), His Word, not man's, is that anyone who seeks the truth and keeps seeking will find it. NOT MAYBE, but WILL find the TRUTH. Not maybe, no, no doubt, but they will find it IF THEY KEEP SEEKING..... This is emphasized strongly so that those who have been deceived all of their lives may have hope of finding the truth; so that those who have posted strongly opposed or gently opposed to the truth, might turn to Yahweh and seek the truth and keep seeking the truth for this is His Great Desire and our Hope and our Prayer. . . .

I think by definition those in the falling away, those in the one world church and all the false churches, are unaware of it , the same as Scripture says : if the leaders knew what they were doing, they would not have crucified the Messiah Jesus. And yes, you can see every day on the forum that they are the ones most rigidly opposed to truth, yes, every day. Like the letter Galatians in the Bible, true posts today are warnings(life and death at stake) to those who are being strongly tempted, subtly often, to trust something other than Jesus for Salvation, that they are being evrey day strongly tempted , subtly often, to trust something other than Jesus for Salvation..... i.e. whenever possible to save even if by fire(as written, though not possible on the internet) those who are living in sin, or who are on the precipice of falling away from truth....

Do you want and seek to know His Way ? (positive expectations here)

Do you mean you think the 'boiling of the frog' corresponds to the 'falling away' ? Something that "will be" VS what did happen for the last 1700+ years ?

Who said this ? Can you prove it from Scripture ? (a lot of believers do not lack His Power, and live in line with all Scripture/TORAH/ just the same as Jesus always did, and as He Trained all His disciples, and as they trained others, right up to today.) Test everything, continually, while seeking Yahweh, for His Kingdom is at hand. His Word says "pharmakeia will deceive the whole world", and the medical system in the USA is greedy, not righteous. Yahweh did create the the leaves for healing of the peoples, and they do. (just have to seek them, and keep seeking, to find them). i.e. "medicine" from Yahweh is healing, the opposite from and contrary to man's medical system which is death dealing.

As Jesus says: "Turn and Seek Yahweh, for His Kingdom IS at hand." . What falling away have you seen so far ? . "From God's perspective it is so difficult to judge." ? What does this mean ? Who is the "we" who do not notice , who are in the great falling away deceived and don't know it ?

Do you observe all the confusion on the forum, in your life concerning , and in most churches concerning the "so-called" rapture ? Probably 95 % or more of the stories about it are sad myths..... The Truth is NOT discovered by dissecting , parsing, nor context, nor reading even in the original. See in Scripture WHO Jesus says the Father is DELIGHTEED to reveal the TRUTH to..... (few who they are) .... and WHO Jesus says the Father HIDES salvation from, (YES, hides salvation from ) .... BECAUSE it is HIS GOOD PLEASURE to hide it from them ...... (they get really, really upset and/or mad about this ) (and they always deny this)

Remember even in the first century all the Apostles of Yahweh/ Jesus Gospel/ who were called and chosen and born again and immersed in Yeshua's Name and set apart by Yahweh for Himself and trained by Jesus personally and directly and to whom Yahweh Gave Understanding of all Scripture (without which was no understanding at all) all expected Jesus to return soon to earth to rule , as Jesus had taught them to expect and to believe (as He Says He IS Returning for His people who are eagerly expecting His Return ) ....

AMEIN! The enemy of Christ, the prince of the power of the air, has INUNDATED the world with FALSE KNOWLEDGE ('fake') about "aliens" that is not even a fit subject to listen to , nor to discuss, in the assembly / company/ of believers (or anywhere else at all) ..... The enemy of Christ , the part or a part controlled by Babylon, has even devised garbage doctrines READY TO BAPTIZE ALIENS from outer space, and has for a long time had plans using the FALSE KNOWLEDGE (fake) about 'aliens' to deceive and to control billions of people...... and as it is written, that enemy of Christ, part of Babylon, will be used by hasatan using many "miracles" and "visions" and "apparitions" and "visitations" (so-called; ALL frauds for centuries already and growing ) AND will have "impeccable credentials" / Phds/ Masters/ Titles / (all "of the world", the evil world which DOES CONVINCE the multitudes worldwide , keeping them DECEIVED .....)

See all the previous posts and (Scriptures) about a pure heart. (the references in WORTHYCHRISTIANLIBRARY.COM.Notice that a PURE HEART is still required and no one with a PURE HEART will willingly and willfully choose to desecrate/ defile/ the pure and holy temple of the holy Spirit (human bodies). i.e. no one with a clean and clear conscience will ever even think of getting a mark on their body like a tattoo. This is the testimony of Scripture, Yahweh's Spirit, and many saints who overcame the enemy with their testimony of Jesus AND BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB WHO was slain for our sins ( the saints who ARE/ HAVE BEEN/ PURCHASED BY THE BLOOD of JESUS: their /our bodies are not our own - He NEVER lets us defile our bodies that are HIS ) ....

Being unfolded today, for centuries past perhaps, for days, years , decades or centuries now perhaps (time is Yahweh's) hasatan is being more and more "birthed" on earth - (in some original language descriptions), as all now is experiencing "birth pangs" groaning and waiting for Jesus to Return, yet also perhaps "birth pangs" is likewise similar to hasatan being little by little "birthed" on earth as his power is growing daily (today), and will continue UNTIL JESUS RETURNS..... One more "perhaps" also , hasatan may be fully birthed, no longer "being" birthed on earth, at some point past, present or future (I don't remember and cannot find the description online in the last 3 years searching) .....

Since people today do not know even what "faith", "trusting lives" (Trusting Yahweh Daily Living in Union with Jesus), or "Love" (Yahweh's meaning throughout Scripture OT and NT) , means, it is unlikely people today know what "generation" means , or , rather, what Yahweh means in His Word where it is translated "generation" ALONG WITH ALL that His Word encompasses.

THE ABSOLUTE LORDSHIP OF CHRIST Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body ” (1 Cor. 6. 19, 20). This verse now takes us a stage further, for, when once we have made the discovery of the fact that we are the dwelling-place of God, then a full surrender of ourselves to God must follow. When we see that we are the temple of God we shall immediately recognize that we are not our own. Consecration will follow revelation. The difference between victorious Christians and defeated ones is not that some have the Spirit while others have not, but that some know His indwelling and others do not, and that consequently some recognize the Divine ownership of their lives while others are still their own masters. ...
