Fidei Defensor

Amen brother! Church buildings came later. There was far more intimacy in the house churches and it was freer in the Spirit (1 Corinthians 14). The Moravians tried to revive it, creating Hern Hutts (house churches). They had 100yrs of non stop 24hr prayer. Can you imagine that?!

There had been debate about The Trinity (Godhead), Supersessionism (Fudillment Theology), and Christology: particularly how seperate or not He is from the Father in the Person of The Son.

I think the Great Falling Away from Faith had begun with these new generations who are very much like this: “1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy (considering nothing sacred), 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Especially verse 2, we see a gen that loves itself, disobeys parents and considers nothing sacred; protesters have started burning statues of Mary and other religious statues (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bostonglobe.com/2020/07/12/metro/virgin-mary-statue-dorchester-burned-alleged-arson/%3foutputType=amp), as well as churches targeted (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.the-sun.com/news/1135323/churches-burned-black-lives-matter-protests/amp/). Jesus says: “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first! Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.” (Revelation 2:4-5 NLT) Notice the contrast of “lovers of self” and “you’ve forgiteen your first love.” Jesus also says, “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.” (Matthew 24:12). The Lawlessness cross refernces well with 2 Timothy 2:2-5 list. And how can a generation even love without God? “For God is love.” (1 John 4:8). Most of newer generations are 70% Nones: no religion, no gods. For five days a week the younger gens were taught in school antichrist beliefs, which get supplimented by antichrist shows, movies, YouTube channels, video games and more. And we think one day a week, Sunday, can stand against 6 days a week of indoctrination, 7 days if you count the kids go back to antichrist channels and entertainment after Sunday service and Sunday School.

Well said! You get a worthy rating. I wish we would do Communion more in church services (instead of once a month), and even read these verses, “We proclaim His death until He Comes Again.”

Amen. As Christians we are “counter-cultural.” It was so under the Roman Empire, which persecuted the Church (The History of the Church, Eusebius). Rome thought our forerunners in the faith were odd, a peopke who professed their God was crucified on a cross by the Romans and rose from the dead; when Romans were told by Cicero, “orators. Cicero, for example, described crucifixion as "a most cruel and disgusting punishment",[24] and suggested that "the very mention of the cross should be far removed not only from a Roman citizen's body, but from his mind, his eyes, his ears.” (Crucifixion, Wikipedia). This brings the meaning of “preach Christ and Him crucified, ..foolishness to the Gentiles.”(1 Corinthians 1:23) Romans couldn’t fathom the power of the cross, “For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power” (1 Corinthians 1:17), but in time Rome came around and adopted Christianity as its religion. Those who crucified our Lord God Jesus Christ, who forbade the message of the cross on their lips according to Cicero, then embraced the Gospel of the Cross of Christ.

“26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. 27 If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. 30 If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged, 32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. 33 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints. “ (1 Corinthians 14:26-33)

Replacement Theology is really called Fufillment Theology. That Jew and Gentile are saved through faith in Jesus Christ alone: “22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men, (1 Corinthians 1:22-25), “23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. - (Galatians 3:23-29) “2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.” (Romans 8:2-5) “For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.” (Hebrews 9:15) For the Lord God foretold to the Prophet Jeremiah when a new covenant would come: “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant(A) with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant(B) I made with their ancestors(C) when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt,(D) because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband(E)to[a] them,[b]” declares the Lord. 33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds(F) and write it on their hearts.(G) I will be their God, and they will be my people.(H) 34 No longer will they teach(I)their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know(J)me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “For I will forgive(K) their wickedness and will remember their sins(L) no more.” (Jeremiah 31:31-34) “But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.” (Hebrews 8:6) “By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.” (Hebrews 8:13). Just as Lord told Jeremiah above that it woukd not be like the covenant He made with the Jews when he brought them out of Egypt.

Air Penguin has good rates. Flo has used it on the campaign. The Captain, Skipper and his crew Rico, Private, and Mekowski are excellent.

It does mutate and I’ve read about people getting COVID-19 twice or three times. No antibotes work.

Sanders does not enter, does not past golden gate, does not collect $200.

I enjoy eschatological exegesis as much as the next person. But what I find disheartening is how we can get bogged down in our own Millenial and Trib views and lose sight of the Lamb. One eschatological pratice I think we can all agree on and do from time to time is a memorial: “23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes [Arrives, come again].” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

Colonel Sanders is responsible for the genocide of chickens! He shall come to his judgement and millions of chickens will crow against him. KFC: Killing Friendly Chickens

That is well said and worthy brother.

“Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

What is the flat earth conspiracy? The Lord said, “God sits above the circle (sphere) of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him! He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them.” (Isaiah 40:22)

Mickey is strong with the dark side...

Lol in regards to Christmas trees being evil, the druids actually brought oaks and birches into their homes, trees with holes that they could conjure their sprites into, and observe their high solstice. In contrast the Evergreen Tree was actually used by St. Bonfice (672-754 A.D.) as an evangelistic tool to the Germans. Martin Luther encouraged the use of the evergreen tree at Christmasstime, quoting St. Bonifice “evergreen is for eternal life in Christ, the point of the tree points to heaven.”

Tyre was a war god, also known as baal. Satan is the war god and Mammon (god of money): “11 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me: 12 "Son of man (Jesus Christ), raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD: "You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared. 14 You were an anointed guardian cherub (Cherubim that Covereth, a Cherubim). I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked. 15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you. 16 In the abundance of your trade (Mammon is born) you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor (Isaiah 14:11-14). I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. 18 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. 19 All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever (Revelation 20:10)." (Ezekiel 28:11-19) We see in Ezekiel 28:16 that Lucifer fell because of his trade or commerce, which bred violence. This is why Satan is Mammon and Jesus says, “"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Matthew 6:24) Who invented war or started the first war? The devil and hsi angels: “7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world-he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” (Revelation 12:7-9) The devil is Mammon and Tyre (baal).

“The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.” (Revelation 3:5) What is conquering? “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” (Revelation 12:11) “This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)

I am a post tribber because of these verses: “29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matthew 24:29-30) ”15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) ”13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?" 14 I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:13-14) ”Also the beast was allowed to make war on the saints (Gid’s Holy People) and to conquer them. And authority given it over every tribe and people and language and nation,” (Revelation 13:7) “Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12) “To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Fathee on His throne.” (Revelation 3:21) “10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and (B)deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 24:10-13).
