  1. The Book of Revelation says many times, "he that endures to the end." Let me ask this, do you think a lukewarm Christian will be able to stand in the face of let's say someone who is threatening their kids' (or some other loved one) life with torture, beating, rape, or murder unless they renounced Jesus? That's what happened to those kids in Syria, they were told to renounce their faith in Jesus or they would get beheaded. They chose to be beheaded. What about the Christians here in America? Our faith has never been tested like that YET. Just because it is completely foreign to you, doesn't mean it wouldn't be possible for a lukewarm Christian who never really took the time to have that really trusting and personal relationship with Jesus to renounce their faith in Jesus. Do you think that would be possible for a lukewarm Christian to renounce their faith in the face of torture, murder, rape?
  2. The parable of the 10 virgins are a good illustration. They were all believers. But the five were foolish and were not keeping watch, didn't have enough oil ( I tend to think this is the lukewarm Christian who is not living holy, seeking the Father daily, trusting and relying on Him, etc.) The wise virgins told the foolish to "buy your oil" (spiritual food i.e. Holy Spirit) They did not do that. They weren't ready, so when the Bridegroom came, they were left out and when they tried to get in, He told them to depart, for He never knew them. Who do you think the foolish virgins were? It sounded like they were believers too. I think people are going to willingly give up their "crown of life" or salvation because they will be terrified of what is coming and during tribulation . If they had daily walked with the Lord and always daily read, meditated, prayed, worshiped, they would be prepared (just like the wise virgins with the oil in their lamps) (for the Word of God is a lamp unto my feet) .
  3. I think that saying was true when Jesus came the first time to die on the cross for us. He came as a Savior. But when Jesus comes back the second time, He will be coming back not as a Lamb, but as Judge. That is why He called us to be holy because He is Holy.
  4. In the FIRST of His TWO comings, recorded in 1 Thess.4:16 - The FIRST of His TWO comings??!!! That saying is just absolutely ABSURD! There is only ONE SECOND COMING!!!! Your interpretation of scripture is heresy. That is why the pre-trib rapture is a LIE. It cannot hold up to the Word of God.
  5. Love this song from a few years back but I don't think many heard or remember this song. Such a beautiful song.
  6. I believe that the Book of Enoch is scriptural. I don't understand why it isn't included in the Bible. The Book of Jude refers to the Book of Enoch so I believe it is very credible. Enoch prophesied the coming flood. He named his son Methuselah which means his death shall bring (he is referring to the flood). Remember that Enoch walked with the LORD for 300 years. The Book of Enoch also gives the account of the "angels that left their first estate." They came down and defiled the women and had children with them. These children (the nephillim) were very wicked and evil. They corrupted everything, and also were eating the people. The sons of God (the angels) taught the women astrology, mysticism, and sorcery. The wicked angels asked Enoch to speak on their behalf to God for forgiveness and God refused. So vile were the deeds of their children, God destroyed everything on the earth with a flood except for Noah and his family. If you read the scriptures, it says in Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, (meaning his DNA was not corrupted by the nephillim) and Noah walked with God. Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the LORD cometh with ten thousands of his saints. Enoch was very close to the LORD. The Book of Enoch goes into very descriptions of the end times. I truly believe that it also is the inerrant work of God. It was also found with the Dead Sea Scrolls. Who knows, maybe the enemy didn't want it to get out? Or, God is revealing it now because of the times being the last days?
  7. I think I just threw up in my mouth. That is truly disgusting. I think you brought up something too, yes, they would probably throw the whole "race card" in.
  8. Just read about Lincoln car manufacturer working with the TSA and DHS to give the consumer "complimentary memberships" to make travel effortless. S.C.A.R.Y. They are basically using your biometrics (i.e. facial recognition, fingerprints, iris scanners) to spy on you. Wow....the last days are fast approaching us. http://massprivatei.blogspot.com/2017/12/new-cars-to-be-equipped-with.html
  9. I think because eating people would be an abomination to God and that's what Satan wants us to do?
  10. Hi Hmh123, God has a plan for you, even with all your mistakes. God can and will use all your circumstances. Don't let the enemy discourage you or steal your joy. Know that there are people here that care for you. That is genuine love in Christ. Here is a video that I thought would encourage you. You are beautiful, you are greatly loved! Live for Him and call out the name of Jesus and He will hear and answer. Rejoice in the Lord for He is good, all the time!
  11. Do any of you think that in the near future they will be offering the general public "synthesized meat"and using these reasons as selling points like to cut the cost of meat, harmless, good for you, animals need not die to feed us (i.e. animal cruelty), the synthesized meat have no souls and therefore we aren't really eating people?
  12. I tried to fix it... hahahaha I think? LOL
  13. I think the whole pre-trib rapture thing that some people will be left behind is GROSS DOCTRINAL ERROR. THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE. THAT'S WHY THE GOSPEL HAS BEEN PREACHED BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT JESUS TODAY, YOU MIGHT NOT LIVE ANOTHER DAY, OR IF JESUS COMES, YOU LOST THAT CHANCE OF REDEMPTION. THAT'S WHY THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN URGENCY IN PREACHING THE GOSPEL. THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE SAYS THAT IF JESUS COMES AND YOU MISSED IT, YOU GET LEFT BEHIND AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION AND HOPE THAT YOU MAKE IT? THAT IS HERESY.
  14. No not really Marilyn, I asked those specific verses refuting what you said, what is your answer? Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their "first estate, BUT LEFT THEIR OWN HABITATION." they left of their own accord, they were not thrown out. Those were different angels who rebelled along with Lucifer and were thrown out. And from Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. Those wicked angels also corrupted the rest of God's creation. The plants, the sea creatures, the fowls of the air, everything.
  15. Dear Diaste, I think that many are fearful of dying and that is why the pre-trib rapture is so appealing. But God says He is Perfect Love that casts out ALL FEAR, NOT SOME, NOT A LITTLE, BUT ALL FEAR. We will be walking in power as believers because Jesus said we will be doing even greater things than He did when He walked the earth. (which is WOW, WOW, WOW!!!) Satan doesn't want that, he is very fearful of believers knowing the authority they have in Christ Jesus and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. In fact, he is terrified. To God, being fearful is a wicked thing. In Revelation 21:8 But the FEARFUL AND UNBELIEVING; AND THE ABOMINABLE, AND MURDERERS, AD THE WHOREMONGERS, AND SORCERERS, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. God actually calls out the fearful and unbelieving first of many that He says will experience the second death. He is very serious about fear and belief. Why? Because it questions His very being. Fear and unbelief is saying God isn't who He says He is, He isn't all-knowing, or powerful, He has no authority, or He is powerless to save us. But we know we can believe in Him. We can trust God's Perfect Love. God is Love. I think when we have to face death during the tribulation period, I believe it will be like Stephen, we won't even feel pain because we will be seeing Jesus coming to get us to take us home. We will be looking into His glory and there will be no fear, no pain, and have peace that surpasses all understanding. Praise the name of Jesus!!! Like this new song called Peace Be Still by The Belonging Co feat. Lauren Daigle Peace be still, say the word and I will, set my feet upon the sea, til I'm dancing in the deep, Lord Peace be still you are here, so it is well, even when my eyes can't see, I will trust the voice that speaks, Peace, Peace over me!
  16. Hello Davida, there is no weird aggressive attack on the pre-trib rapture. It is what I believe that people are waking up to TRUTH. Me personally, I will no longer blindly follow after men's doctrine or regurgitate their lies. I will no longer just believe what I am taught. I will test the Scriptures, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal Truth as I read the Word of God and to open my eyes. Let him who has ears to listen. Are you willing to let go of indoctrination of men and test the Scriptures by reading and asking God to help you understand? Another thing, it is the pre-trib rapture people that start attacking because it is the established thinking. They start the character assassination. They do this when the scriptures they hold start to unravel and can't holdup to Truth. This is not a "minor doctrinal disagreement." THIS IS TRUTH VS A LIE. We no longer should allow the LIE of the Pre-Trib rapture keep going. Satan loves the pre-trib rapture theory because it keeps the Christians in thinking they are going to not have to face any testing of their faith in Jesus and have a free ticket out of here when things get bad. But when the pre-trib rapture doesn't happen, many shall fall away. 2 Thessalonians 2:3
  17. I found this article and recently had seen a movie about synthetic meat made from actors but I can't recall the name of the movie. I found it quite disturbing but I believe that this kind of thinking is being pushed on the the general public. Just like the LGBT agenda, I believe they are laying the groundwork to desensitize people into thinking cannibalism is ok because it was synthetically made. The wicked are trying to persuade by reasoning that it will be cheaper, it won't hurt animals, and the list goes on. Any thoughts? I find this truly disturbing and disgusting. https://www.labmate-online.com/news/news-and-views/5/breaking-news/what-is-synthesised-cannibalism/44542
  18. Hi Marlyn, nice to meet you too! I put those scriptures in because I was trying to legitimize the quotes from Enoch just in case you were to question the Book of Enoch. I merely referenced it from the Book of Jude so that you would know that Jude is recognizing Enoch and his words. I never said the "angels that fell". Jude 1:6 says AND THE ANGELS WHICH KEPT NOT THEIR FIRST ESTATE, BUT LEFT THEIR OWN HABITATION. They chose to leave, they weren't thrown out of heaven. These angels were different than the ones that were thrown out of heaven with Lucifer. Also in Genesis 6:11 the EARTH ALSO WAS CORRUPT BEFORE GOD. That means everything, not just mankind. The wicked angels corrupted everything. Personally, I think that is where we get legends of like the cyclops and minotaur. Maybe other things like the mermaid? Everything was corrupted.
  19. Where does it say there is "God's wrath during the seven year tribulation?" If our Great God could protect the Israelites from the judgements on Egypt, why couldn't He protect the believers? I'm not saying some won't die, but if it is His will for some believers to live, He can and will save.
  20. I agree with missmuffet and also the Book of Enoch will enlighten more on the fallen angels. The Book of Enoch is referenced in the book of Jude ( Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation., v 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints.) and everything in it aligns with the Bible. Another thing, the fallen angels corrupted the DNA of man so much, even the plants. That was why God had to destroy everything except for Noah and his family to safeguard the lineage of the coming Messiah. Genesis 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
  21. Daniel, I gave scripture in regards to all I have said. Who are you to judge me in that I am not a Christian? That was like the Pharasees accusing Jesus of working for the Devil when he cast out demons. Jesus is my Lord and my Savior. He died on the cross for my sins. Through His shed blood on the cross, I have been redeemed, purchased by the Lamb of God. Jesus is now sitting at the right hand of God the Father and He will soon be returning to take His bride home. Until that happens, I will live for Him, be a light to all around me, share the good news, telling people to Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand! If there comes a time that I will have to die for my Christ, so be it. I am willing to die. Are you willing to die for Jesus Daniel or are you banking on Jesus rapturing you away before you have to suffer anything for your faith in Jesus? Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy me gold (endurance, faith) tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment that thou meyest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and annoint thine eyes with eyesalve; that thou mayest see.
  22. Hi Heleadethme, I never thought of the Christmas tree in that way before! Thank you for that enlightenment. Kneeling down to it, offering it gifts when we put gifts under the tree...... hmmm. I don't think I ever worshipped the tree in a conscious manner but just looked at it as a decoration. I will have to chew on this a bit more.....
  23. Have you looked up John Nelson Darby? Even the great Theologian Charles Spurgeon rejected the Pre-trib rapture. http://www.bibletruthbytspurgeon.com/c.h.-spurgeon-vs-john-darby.html You need to continue to read 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-6. In regards to Revelation 3:10 "the hour of temptation" will be when we as believers are going to have to choose to remain faithful to Jesus. Jesus said, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will i also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 10:33. Satan is going to try and make us deny the name of Jesus. This will be that temptation. Satan is counting on us being so scared to deny Jesus so that we can live but Jesus said no, you will lose your life trying to save it. Revelation 7:14 AND I SAID UNTO HIM, SIR, THOU KNOWEST. AND HE SAID TO ME, THESE ARE THEY WHICH CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION, AND HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES, AND MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. In Matthew 10: 39 Jesus also said He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Jesus suffered much for our sake, what make us better than He that we should not have to suffer tribulation for our belief in Him? Now tribulation is different from wrath. Tribulation is going to purify us. The church today is wrought with sin and wickedness. Jesus is NOT coming for a blemished bride. He is coming for a bride without spot or blemish.
  24. In Revelation 20: 4-6 it tells us clearly who will be with Christ in the Millennial reign. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished, This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. For those of you who dispute that that is promised to the 144,000 of the remnant of the Jews, here is scripture from 1 Peter 2:9-10 BUT YOU ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, AN HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE: THAT YE SHOULD SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO HATH CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELLOUS LIGHT. WHICH IN TIME PAST WERE NOT A PEOPLE, BUT ARE NOW THE PEOPLE OF GOD: WHICH HAD NOT OBTAINED MERCY, BUT NOW HAVE OBTAINED MERCY. From Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; IF SO BE THAT WE SUFFER WITH HIM, THAT WE MAY BE ALSO GLORIFIED TOGETHER. For anyone disputing that we are not the ELECT, Romans 8: 29, 32-33 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be firstborn among many brethren. ... Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GOD'S ELECT? IT IS GOD THAT JUSTIFIETH.
