Amen. Who is the lawless one (in the Apocalypse) ? (the devil) - The one who always rejects TORAH, is far from TORAH. (as written)

God reveals the truth to those who seek the truth and who keep seeking the truth (don't seek today and stop tomorrow). The 'knowledge' of religious teachers is most often used to deceive multitudes, from what the Word of God says . The salvation and faith of those who trust and rely on the Father, is a daily , continual experience, not a one time does it fact, as shown all through Scripture, TORAH, PROPHETS, PSALMS and NEW TESTAMENT even just in poor ol' "English" language. Follow Jesus. Follow the Shepherd. What happens if someone stops following Jesus ? Repent. What happens if a sheep stops following the Shepherd ? Hope it doesn't end in destruction, eaten by the wolves or worse. A lost sheep? Jesus goes after. He is a good Shepherd, perfect in fact.

Chili with onions and cheese ? yum yum ! :) (in Texas or anywhere ! )

Rather, as written, everything born of the flesh is flesh, and profits nothing. (i.e. "head knowledge"/ man's wisdom or knowledge) Also, the unregenerate man cannot grasp anything spiritual. Thus no amount of education helps him. The Scribes and Pharisees, religious leaders then and now, today, have oodles of "head knowledge", but no truth, and they oppose Jesus. They must be BORN AGAIN. (not by the head knowledge nor by the heart, not by the flesh, not by the will of man(nothing of man), but by the will of the Father in heaven.)

Since it is "hypothetical", just get out the eraser, or the delete button, and erase it/ delete it. TA DA ! Then it is gone! That easy. No more sin visible.

"take great care " in our words: Where is it written ANYONE is "air to the world " ?

Actually, there is only one path to salvation , and He is Jesus the Messiah Savior King of the JEWS appointed by Yahuweh the Creator with a Name Greater than any other name. It is a SURPRISE when anyone gets saved, for many of the same reasons you were surprised. I like in the MESSAGE translation (some call a paraphrase) where it says "SURPRISE! SALVATION COMES!" because it fit so well ! I wasn't looking to be saved, yet Jesus drew me in the Father's Will... to Himself.... as written .... The world is full of horrible stuff, including all the religion of the world. IN Christ, IN the Kingdom of Yahuweh (God), THERE IS RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY without limit, daily, overflowing, extravagantly generous from the Father in Heaven, and without merit and without cost..... (paid by the BLOOD OF JESUS, our ATONEMENT ! )

Remember that in Scripture it is written that Yahuweh (the Creator) IS SPIRIT , and it is written that Yahuweh (the Creator) is not a man (not human - not a person). Thus, man has certainly made a mess of things in the last 2000 years by religion. Also, it is written, the normal (natural) mind (of man) CANNOT grasp (cannot understand) spirituals.

Would prayer have changed the need for Jesus to die for us by crucifixion as written in TORAH, the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES ? Does anyone think prayer can change the whole world worshiping demons and refusing to repent , thus being doomed as written in TORAH and in the NEW TESTAMENT ? It is written that the most terrible days ever on earth are happening, and won't stop until Jesus returns. Until Jesus Returns, every day will be getting worse than before . (for all society and the world) Only those appointed for resurrection life in Christ Jesus will be saved, just as ONLY EIGHT were saved on the ark from the global flood that destroyed all the evil men on earth. Great suffering and great persecution is happening, as is increasing.

There is nothing in the CREATOR'S WORD, the CREATOR'S PLAN, or the CREATOR'S PURPOSE that shows in any way that THE CREATOR limited the size of the ark and left some animals out.

"Wanting to be" in union with Yahushua and Yahuweh does not make it so. See in the New Testament where it is written, who was in union daily, continually, with the Son and the Father, living for righteousness sake, DOING the FATHER's WORD, and not living as the rest of men as slaves to unrighteousness any more.

Not according to Scripture. Yahuweh and Yahushua have been echad eternally without beginning, and are echad without end. The flesh has a beginning and an end, in earthly fathers and sons. Also, earthly fathers are wicked (yet may give good gifts to their sons in spite of that). Earthly sons are wicked too, usually.

Hmmm..... doesn't the article, or the author, (like most readers here?) assume the seals have not been accomplished/open already ? As if the Messiah Yahushua could not have returned in the lifetime of the Apostles and disciples in the New Testament ?

Does the world see anything as it is ? Anyone as they are ? Duties: hardly ever recognized: Titus 2:9 KJ21 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things, not gainsaying, ASV Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying; AMP Urge bond-servants to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing and not talk back, AMPC [Tell] bond servants to be submissive to their masters, to be pleasing and give satisfaction in every way. [Warn them] not to talk back or contradict, BRG Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; CSB Slaves are to submit to their masters in everything, and to be well-pleasing, not talking back CEB Tell slaves to submit to their own masters and please them in everything they do. They shouldn’t talk back CJB Tell slaves to submit to their masters in everything, to give satisfaction without talking back

Sorry, no. Those examples you gave even, from the Bible, they did the wrong thing because of fear. Likewise today even moreso. See in Hebrews, the New Testament, the examples God Gives of faith - not afraid even of a sudden fear. And again, as written, "God is for me (Ekklesia, not unbelievers), who can be against? What can man do to me?" ... So no, having fear is not a good thing. It leads to wrong doing, and sinful emotions and feelings. Did you read the list of those who are NOT in heaven ? God has not given us a spirit of fear (nor timidity), but of power and of love and of a sound mind..... No, no fear.

There are things He would not talk about. Look it up in the New Testament, what He would not answer, and what is written to all believers as inappropriate conversation for believers. Also, He never spoke from the flesh, but from the Father, in Spirit and in Truth. As for science, it stands condemned with all the world society - pernicious, death dealing, because it supports what is false, and leads to worshiping the creature instead of the Creator, as written in HIS WORD. Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh, and PROFITS NOTHING. THere is no exception.

In the New Testament, they are called "sects", which were already present, yes, in the first and second century. See also, "there are many anti-christs AMONG us" at that time too. (already by then! How much more TODAY!) (1) Why is there a very common false gospel being preached and taught to multitudes of 'Christians' in "churches" ? (2) What is the value of free will ? (instead of robots) (3) The flesh, the devil, what else ?

Look online , simple search, for the several false teachings and expose's about false teachers. Yes, look for "quotes" of their own words to verify they themselves taught false gospel, and don't accept it until seen.

For some, for multitudes, for millions, the "breakthrough" was sleep /death. (in the wars the last 120 years, or even all of them)..... Did they pray for death ? Maybe. Did they endure to the end ? Some did. Why weren't their prayers answered, to be "kept from the power of the enemy" ? (in war time, but also in peace time) ..... Why did they die in prison, after torture, for no reason at all ? Millions this happened to. Millions of believers.

Emotions are supposed to be, and are, "CRUCIFIED with CHRIST, never-the-less I live , yet not I but Christ who lives in me and the life that I now live I live by faith in the Son of God Who Loved me and gave Himself for me." Self-control is of the spirit, and the spirit is supposed to be in control, not the flesh/ emotions/ feelings. People cry when their feelings are hurt, often because of denying the truth -- letting the flesh (head-knowledge) rule in their lives instead of the spirit, and thus instead of Christ.

Study all you like. This is not the way to discover the truth, when the truth has already been denied and taken over by tradition of men. As Jesus Promised, seek the truth, and keep seeking the truth, and you will find the truth and the truth will set you free (from tradition at least; perhaps many other things?)

Amen. Avoiding every kind of evil is rare today. Purity of speech also - avoiding crude jesting, and speech about things done in darkness that ought not even be discussed among believers because it is not becoming(not right) as disclosed in the New Testament Instructions to believers. "Study Bible Imitators of God …2and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God. 3But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.… Berean Study Bible · Download" "Not any kind of impurity, or of greed. Nor .... obscenity ..... but rather thanksgiving ...." ---------------- Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. ------------------ i.e. Instructions to separation, including having no "unclean speech" ..... improper for believers in Jesus ..... (even to quote from someone else that which is defiling, unclean, and an abomination to the Lord) ----------- Ephesians 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. Exodus 23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 1 Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. Sexual sins have become commonplace in society - perhaps they always were.... certainly Yahuweh(God) speaks of them in the Old Testament and in the New Testament times .... Murder also , beyond description worldwide, and gruesome details that ought never be a common topic of discussion among believers (neither in person nor on forums anonymously grieving the spirit). Greed and oppression are the ways of the world apart from Christ. Be separate , Be holy, Be righteous by faith in Jesus Christ as written in the Bible. Be pure in words, not defiling others in the assembly with disgusting filthy talk, rather season all speech with the pure gentle wisdom from above.

TODAY, since the first century, the EKKLESIA, born again ones, by the Will of the Father in heaven, set apart BY THE FATHER, called out ones, have been echad with Jesus and with the Father and with each other, regardless of where they are (even 'hiding' in any denomination)..... even in other parts of the world, we (EKKLESIA) are one, echad, in ONE BODY (as written), and are being fitly joined together (spiritually) as written throughout the New Testment. There have been a few churches since the first century living the truth, in Jesus, doing what He says. Not most, but a few. The members in Jesus are not seen all in one place, but are scattered around the world, or around a city, often... The members in any 'church'/ forum/ group/ are not usually all His, but a few may be, as written. Thus we cannot trust men, to know who is who. Only trust God's Word - SEE HIS DESCRIPTION THERE< not man's description elsewhere and opposed to Him..... Trust HIM, by faith in JESUS, and KEEP SEEKING HIS KINGDOM EVERY DAY .....

Kathryn miraculously healed the most successful (to be) healer in the history of the USA, maybe the whole world. He later (and always) gave God the credit for his developing the method which proved the best ever used, for him and for thousands of others who learned it. Others who were trained by him did well, but no one ever did as well as he did , and some who learned the method messed up a little or a lot, I don't know. (it would be very difficult to find out). Out of ten thousand clients, only three did not respond to his treatments (using no prescription drugs). Has anyone else had such a good history/record ? I don't know what Kathryn's success rate was, btw. Perhaps someone else was just as successful - Smith Wigglesworth was very successful in Wales/ Europe for instance... Almost every one who healed people was accosted by the 'system' - some by many chruches, some by governments, some by medical (so-called) professionals, and the ama/fda calls the healers, natural and by faith, "quacks" - they do NOT permit them nor allow them to prosper if they can stop them.

Ask (and seek) the Father, Who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and don't be double-minded. Jesus says the Father GLADLY WITH GREAT PLEASURE REVEALS SALVATION to little children, (and hides it from the educated ones!) ...... And Jesus says trust and rely on the Father to accomplish your salvation, do not rely on anyone else, not even yourself. An uncountable number of poster/ people on earth are and have been deceived by feelings, emotions, and other things that they were 'convinced' were God leading them or being with them, but it was the enemy and unbelievers who convinced them, not God. Many trusted such frauds as m.t. in the rcc and b.g. in the usa, and were led astray all the rest of their lives, if not rescued by someone in truth in Jesus. So even very popular followings can be , and almost always are, on the road to destruction, not the narrow painful road to life (in JESUS!) ...
