Lol I have said that often to God. I'm glad He did not listen. Imagine if He really talked loud.

The EU wants to do the same thing. The EU wants to stop the illegal migration of Syrian refugees to Cyprus. EU Commission President von der Leyen and Cypriot President Christodoulidis will travel to Lebanon. The goal: a billion-dollar deal with the country. That's far worse. Rwanda is safer than Libanon.

The flat in which I live gets more and more non Dutch people. I actually like it, cause they're friendly and grateful and not demanding and entitled. Our city has a muslim major. We have to be welcoming to the stranger, says the Bible. I was a stranger and you took Me in. It's the biggest sin if you're not hospitable to strangers. That was the sin from Sodom. Exactly like she describes, the end stage of an immoral society. Uncleanness, also in church, lukewarmness of christians, violence and then not being hospitable. What is now considered normal to say, like send them back, they take our houses, we had a politician 25 years ago who sent people back. Everyone thought she was evil. Unfortunately you also get war criminals and such, because they don't know who is who. These immigrants are the most open to the Gospel. They get help in churches. We had a christian party that was welcoming. Now we have the opposite. Rwanda, Africa with all these murderers, horrible place to send people to. That woman who gave the prophecy said that with WW3 a bomb would pollute the air above the rich countries and they'd try to leave to poor countries, but they would just be as hard on them. Since in Holland we were quite welcoming I thought oooh that will take a long time, but this sounds dangerous. The brother from Corrie ten Boom went to Germany in the 30s and he already warned that there was an evil going on. If they kick war criminals out, be my guest, but normal people.. that's not christian. I don't care if some Syrian family gets a nice house and I don't. My flat is fine. Just let them get saved.

That Dutch article said it. I thought it was weird too. I would say it depends very much on the church. I was in Toronto from the Toronto blessing and during the service people in the back gave whoever wanted one a very long prophecy. If 100 percent was not from God I'd believe it. The last time that I was in a service where whoever could go prophesy in a church was in the 90s. Then one woman had continually crazy stuff and rebuked people and they stopped it altogether.

Yes that's at the end when we see Him as He is and God is all in all. Then they are not needed anymore.

You have that here too, but that's our own fault. If you're too lazy to work you get govt money and a govt house and you go first. I know a guy who hasnt worked in 20 years. He has a house for 350 euro for a whole family where he lives with his cat and dog. I work and live with 3 teens in a 1 bedroom apartment. No wonder everyone wants that. Why is it all of a sudden a problem if a guy from Syria wants that and not when it's a lazy Dutch man or woman?

Dutch translation says imperfect. It's not perfect. Just like a preacher may say something wrong. I'm not saying that a blatant false prophecy is okay. People have to learn to discern what is from God and what is not. https://www.herschepping.nl/04nl/ggaven_04profeteren.php It happens that people utter alleged prophecies that come from their own inner being. It is also wise if someone has a prophecy during a meeting, to first test it with the leaders of the church. This prevents a spurious prophecy, which arises from the imagination of the speaker, from being accepted as coming from God. For example, prophecies should not in any way contradict what the Bible says. It is not without reason that the gift of 'discernment of spirits' is also mentioned in the Bible (1 Corinthians 12:10), especially to be able to distinguish the expressions of God's Spirit from other expressions. In practice, more than half of the prophecies spoken during congregational meetings do not come from God. Testing is therefore really necessary. After all, prophesying is also something people must LEARN. For instance there was a preacher years ago who said to a man with cancer: God says: I will rebuke the cancer worm. Oh no wait. He was English. He said cankerworm. The Dutch translator translated it as kankerworm, cancerworm. That is not a thing. But the guy got faith and got healed. In the end we will be like Jesus and see Him as He is.

When it's all nonsense or occult I would stay away, but 1 Corinthians 13, oh in part, the Dutch translation says imperfect. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. I Corinthians 13:9‭-‬10 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.13.9-10.NKJV And why else did they have to judge? Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. I Corinthians 14:29 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.14.29.NKJV He calls them prophets. If they prophecied perfect nobody would have to judge it. In one church I went to the pastor would just say if someone had a supposed word from the Lord: oh nice. Write it down. So he could check it, because it became a mess. Some had to be stopped. They were negative and it wasn't from God. And you can't just let that go on if they rebuke people who then get upset and think it's God.

Could be. No idea. I don't like it when they call themselves prophet or apostle or bishop, but it doesn't mean it was not a prophet. Calling themselves evangelist doesn't irritate me by the way. So many weirdo's are prophets, apostles and bishops these days. Someone can have the gift of prophecy and the prophecy doesn't always have to be perfect. Prophesies need to get tested. Or it can be an office, like pastor and apostle. For instance David Wilkerson, I think that was a prophet.

Yes you can read it 2 ways. I never even thought of reading it like you do. But that was not the end. If you believe that was the end then this is it. This is the new heaven and earth. A full preterist said that to a widow. She said: This is not heaven. My husband is dead. The end is after Israel has gone to exile and came back to the land and is saved. Ezekiel 37 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ” “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God. “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’ ” Ezekiel 37:12‭-‬14‭, ‬21‭-‬28 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/ezk.37.12-28.NKJV

I tried to listen to a sermon online today because there's no way we can go there and a part was great but then he had to talk about his wife and how great it all was that God gave her and how much they loved each other. Pffffff. So I put it off. I'll try again some other time. Lol then I was grumpy and said: Lord thank You that You gave me my ex to polish my character like iron, which I thought was hilarious and gave me great joy. My ex once preached. We were then already divorced some years, but I went there for the kids. He made a joke that when you're alone you're like: ooooh I wish I was married and then you're married and you're like: oooooh I wish I was alone. Nobody thought it was funny, but I was laughing like a horse. Hilarious. A pity he doesn't preach anymore.

It doesn't say the prince destroys it. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The people, the Romans, destroy it, and the prince who is to come is Roman. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), Matthew 24:14‭-‬15 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.24.14-15.NKJV Abomination of desolation will be in the end.

https://www.news24.com/news24/africa/news/uk-starts-raiding-homes-to-deport-asylum-seekers-to-rwanda-20240502 Raiding homes, sounds like WWII and makes me think of that prophecy. https://www.jesus4all.dk/the-valdres-woman11 4. "People from poor countries will stream to Europe. (In 1968 there was no such thing as immigration. E. Minos.) They will also come to Scandinavia - and Norway. There will be so many of them that people will begin to dislike them and become hard with them. They will be treated like the Jews before the Second World War. Then the full measure of our sins will have been reached (I protested at the issue of immigration. I did not understand it at the time. E. Minos.) The tears streamed from the old woman’s eyes down her cheeks. "I will not see it, but you will. Then suddenly, Jesus will come and the Third World War breaks out. It will be a short war."

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called

Love this song. We have a Dutch version and only a few years ago I saw that he just stole it. The original is even better. My mom often sang it.

Not seperating the staple and bag from a teabag. I lived in a students house in a city with an environment university and everything got seperated. And in another students house a Dutch reformed girl didn't go to church one sunday because instead she handed out flyers, stuck them behind the windscreen wipers from church goers to tell them they should walk next time to save the environment. Anyway I think the text means mainly just being evil to others and not repenting and not only by dropping bombs and ruining the physical environment. That is just the consequence of sinning. The earth was cursed when Adam ate an apple or a melon or whatever. He didn't drop a bomb. He didn't kill. He didn't drive a car nor have a staple he threw in the green bin. Yet the earth was cursed. And I think you can't take it like literal physical destruction, because God destroyed the earth with a flood because of what the giants and people did.

I had a colleague. He was so friendly and patient. We got a new program and if you didn't understand how something worked you could just ask him and very patient he would explain it. One day his wife called. She was pregnant and decorating the house. There was no stork in the shop, but only a heron and should she buy that one or look in other shops for a stork. And the always sweet to everyone guy said: What do I care about that nonsense?!? Stop bothering me!! Do whatever you want.

Man and wife would be one body says Genesis so we're both. Otherwise you get what someone on a Messianic forum said: Only Jews are the bride! I thought He got rid of the middle wall. I asked Him if I could marry another guy. He said: Marry Me. Time is short. They were marrying and giving into marriage. I said: If You really want that I want it to be romantic and I want to see Your Face. That night I had a dream ofJesus and me on a sail ship and He was the Captain and I saw His Face behind 2 wooden things, like a cross. Not only some select people may marry. It's for everyone. “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. For the Lord has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God. Isaiah 54:4‭-‬6 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.54.4-6.NKJV

Lol I did just that. A guy on a Dutch reformed forum was gay. He said he could stop cigarettes, but not that. He wondered why God cared about him having a boyfriend. I said: He's jealous. He wants to marry you. If you want to marry a man so badly here's the chance and it isn't even sin. You can't get a better Mr. Right. God was married to Israel in the O.T. https://www.christianstudylibrary.org/link/three-weddings-and-divorce-gods-covenant-israel-judah-and-church

You are angry at God because you think He ignores you? I backslid. A judge took my 3 month old baby from me. My dad said: they did that in Nazi Germany. I prayed that God would give my kids back, but He did nothing. I did not get mad at Him though, because I was always taught in church that if something bad happens it's never God's fault. It's your own fault or someone else's fault, but never God's fault and because I got Word of Faith teaching instead of the calvinistic 'God is omnipotent and can do whatever He wants, so if He doesn't He is not willing', the God image exchristians hate, I just thought God could not help me and later I doubted if He even existed, but I wasn't mad at God. Now had they told me that He can do whatever, but He was just like: oh they took your kids? Ah what a pity. Not nice eh? Haha but what do I care. Yes then sure I would have gotten furious. The thing was: I did not realize it, but I lived in sin. Maybe also because they put me full with pills that made my conscience work less. My ex dumped me after he chatted with an über holy American woman who was divorced herself and the daughter of some minister or maybe she was even one herself, but she didnt mind ruining a family, so I ran off with a guy I met in the mental hospital where I came after a suicide attempt caused by Prozac and we married ourselves there in the back of a car of another patient who was our witness. So I really believed God saw us as married. We couldn't legally marry, because I just got dumped and ran off with the next one a week later, so I was still legally married. I saw a preaching then, when I lived together with that guy, from Carlos Annacondia. He said he was preaching once and a woman yanked his tie and said: Mis hijos! Mis hijos! Why? Why? Why? My kids! My kids! Why? Why? Why? And he said: Because you turned your back on God. And then he preached about the widow from Nain whose son got buried and she got her son back, cause Jesus raised him and he said: God will give you back what you lost. I did not understand it though at the time. I was deceived. I thought God was fine with it and saw us as married. Then I was legally divorced and we would marry for the law, but then all of a sudden he didnt want to cause he'd have to pay my ex child support. Then I saw that I had been mislead, broke up and repented and asked Jesus back in my heart. I said sorry to my ex. He said sorry. I got my kids back. God could not help me because I had turned my back on Him. When I returned to Him He could help me. If you want God to help you it's not smart to leave Him. Don't listen to satan. What if the rapture is next week? Then you miss it if you leave Him. What about your children? Don't hinder them. Let them come to Jesus.

Yes I agree that you have to forgive, but that doesn't mean you have to let it slide, although in this case I would because it's like with rape and such, prove it, nobody believes it and they blame the victim.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thedailystar.net/editorial/news/police-officers-death-reveals-horrific-abuse-patients-mental-hospital-1993337%3famp In Holland a guy stepped up. Turns out that those CPS people who steal children from families had (because they took so insane many for no reason and there weren't enough foster parents) dumped troubled teens, not even on drugs, in a literal prison. Girl had to get undressed in front of that guy. Totally evil. And people have been saying it for ages, but then you always get these spoiled rotten people who could always keep their kids saying oh you must just be a terrible parent. No that cannot be. And now: oh golly how can it be that there are these enormous scandals and thousands of victims?

In the vacuum sealed bag with tofu (Dutch: tahoe) in my fridge. I seriously started to eat bunches of that stuff to lose weight, thanks to this thread and you continually saying tohu.

Oh yes! If I could save time in a bottle.
