God's Hood ! ....... (Ekklesia/ Family/ Children/ Neighborhood ) WONDERFUL YES !

Think a little while - why was Jesus resurrected ? (and how long ago)

Amein ! May they all repent and believe the GOOD NEWS , the TRUTH of JESUS ! by FAITH in HIS NAME !

Shame on you ? What is your faith ? I don't know you, I don't know your testimony, I don't know if you claim to be a Christian or a pagan or what ? I don't even know if you have any faith - I don't believe I ever asked you, nor did you ever tell me.

Why did you even bother to challenge a thread/ topic/ information just because it is /was 15 years old here ?

What does YHWH'S WORD say ?

Right - no argument here - not only do they exceed God's Word, they oppose it always, their practices and indulgences and doctrines and teachings are often directly opposed to God's Word, and likewise of course contrary to God's Spirit , God's Purpose, God's Salvation.

The other threads/ topics/ etc this morning were not so good, so I searched for something as YHWH directed, always seeking for the truth, and for honest people (which are rare). Do you have an interest in the things of God ? I couldn't even tell you the name of the op - I didn't look for any particular persons topics, just for those that are revealing the truth, the truth which today is more rare than it was 15 years ago..... are you not interested in the truth today , and always ?

Actually he does. Simply waiting as He says in His Word for the appointed time. The whole world is under a death sentence - soon to be destroyed , by fire next time, not by water... and with no mercy , not mixed with mercy this time. (in the past, every time was mixed with or followed with mercy)

Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh, and profits nothing (throughout its existence). Idolatry born out of wickedness(es), never becomes anything good, so yes, bad from the get go, from the start, bad forever.

Idolatrous serving of idols opposed to God's Word is trolling/ defiled/ sinful. Those who commit idolatry, if they do not repent, perish. Those who commit idolatry, if they do not repent, often defend idolatry as trolls. No new news there. No reply to trolls is necessary, except as God directs.

They slaughtered many men, women and children, no matter what religion they were (even their own). Read Foxes Book of Martyrs, etc etc et al, as/if YHWH permits --- it (the crusades) was very very gruesome, worse than the holocaust in some ways.....

No matter really. Idolatry was sin 6000 years ago, 4000 years ago, 2000 years ago, 200 years ago, and yesterday, and today, and tomorrow.... or do you think God's Word changes ? (did you look at the date on God's Word ? I think it is a bit before this thread, or forum, or site, or internet started)

Amein. Mariology , by definition and by practice, before the church ever started it, and ever since, is idolatry. There was never a time when it was not.

The penalty for idolatry is still death, not just in the OT, but now, today, as Jesus said after some were killed by the tower falling on them: Unless you all likewise repent, you will perish. i.e. each one who wants to serve, follow, and be saved by Jesus, must repent. There's no other way, no other option.

Idolatry(from "unclean" gentiles/ pagans/ heathen religions) is always unclean, even AFTER it was taken in/ 'accepted'/ deceptively into the congregations - it was always idolatry, is always idolatry, and will always be idolatry. 1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. - Bible Hub biblehub.com/1_john/5-21.htm Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts. English Standard Version Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

As YHWH always says, all such statues, items, throughout mankind/ history/ religion/ today are idolatry, to be repented of, and to be avoided. 1 John 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. - Bible Hub biblehub.com/1_john/5-21.htm Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts. English Standard Version Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

Buckle up ! (HANG ON TIGHT)

Why do you have any problem confessing Jesus as Master, One with God, eternity past, present, and future? Who told you any different ? (they lied) He and YHWH have ALWAYS been ECHAD . Always, without beginning, and without end.

True, yet realize, imagine, see it come to pass as YHWH accomplishes, being ONE, being ECHAD with JESUS.(now, today) "Anointed" by YHWH in and with Jesus, now, today !

"I am first a follower of Jesus Christ who aims to be a slave to him." HalleluYAH and Amein in JESUS ! By His Grace ! (I have been His slave as long as I can remember, ever since I was immersed in His Name, always every day a living sacrifice ... )

'As far as I know', < shrugs >, it only is for people who believe in traditions , not in God's Word. (or traditions OVER the Word of God), as Jesus warned the disciples to beware concerning religious leaders in the first century(who still had TORAH, so today is far, far worse) .

Yes, very much . YHWH (GOD) is just working on you and your husband, perfecting you in the character of Christ, as His Word says. This is much, much different than stating that most people, or even half of them, on welfare/entitlements/insurance/retirement/ are doing or living "right" according to truth. (they're not). I thought from the first post I questioned that you were offended because you thought many people on welfare were just 'stuck' like you and your husband were, and that they weren't gaming the system (selfishly) wittingly or not. Most of them on entitlements/ etc/ are not doing nor living 'right' according to Scripture. Even the leaders, religious ones, are playing the system themselves, and encouraging others to instead of helping them / instead of teaching anyone to do what is right and good and true according to Scripture. Of course, most people NOT on entitlements of any kind, are also NOT doing nor living right according to Scripture, so it is not as if to pick on one group and respect another group, no. All mankind is sinful, and deteriorating fast. (as written). When we were "in" the system, for massive health challenges (a surprise actually to survive), the suprervisor of the case workers admitted to us openly that out of hudnreds of cases, we were the only ones who told her the truth !!!! (actually, this did not surprise me much - I already knew it (we were unique) - it was a miracle of grace even, including that the supervisor even ever talked with us (the case workers did not have the authority or the ability(or maybe the desire) to accomplish the job) ..... the whole system has been so overwhelmed with fraud for decades, top to bottom (governors/senators/and higher down to smallest cases) it has been broken for a long, long time..... (might need edited/ clarified later(feel free to ask) ...... written spur of moment not double-checked/ )

Think about it a few minutes. Why were you offended ?

Too bad. All through society people are wicked, lying and selfish. Stealing from others, and even marketing souls of men, women and children (exactly as Scripture says).
