  1. Rose I honestly believe the bonds formed in marriage do involve a union that engages the whole being, body, soul and spirit. Rending those bonds once formed is traumatic, and that is why God placed physical union in the context of a life-long committed, exclusive relationship. So He hates divorce for the inevitable trauma it causes to both parties. Yet sometimes it is inevitable. When a marriage fails, the bonds formed by marriage and union must be severed, to eliminate the influences that can move into our lives through bonds forged, but now not encompassed in the place of safety He designed them to be enjoyed in. I truly believe only the Spirit can fully sever those bonds, and in time heal the wounds that severing produces. And I believe if we ask Him to, and trust Him to, He will do it. It's a painful, traumatic process, but He is big enough to complete it. We just have to ask Him, and let Him guide us through the process, trusting He will finish it for us.
  2. I think the point was the whole "borrowed" thing is a spurious attack Every single truth I have embraced I borrowed from Scripture HE is TRUTH. And i'm borrowing as much of Him as I can manage as fast as I can manage it. And whoever He might give an ability to explain truth to my understanding. Someone can accuse me of borrowing all they like...i'll wear that accusation proudly...if it's truth and my heart discerns it is...at that point it's MINE
  3. hydroxychloroquine is a generic drug. A number of different manufacturers make the stuff all over the world. It's been around for decades, is very safe when prescribed in proper doses and proper doses are well studied and understood. There is a huge body of knowledge about this drug because it has been used to treat malaria for decades. And there is a growing body of evidence it can be effective in treating COVID-19
  4. bro if you are comfortable that you are honoring and obeying the Spirit in how you handle your wealth, that is all that is required. He does have men in the Body whom He has given the privilege of eating from the gospel. And He ensures they are supported. But making what He leads you to do, a rule all must follow, is legalism....bondage to something we have been freed from.
  5. because the Church is an organism, not an organization. One Body, with a Head who is God. Not a building or any organization....
  6. That is where the problem begins....
  7. God had the temple (storehouse) torn down in 70 AD so the legalists trying to place His Body back under bondage to the Law would find that impossible to do....they still do try though Tithing is one of the New Testament heresies that has been used to fund the abomination the world sees as the "church". Hammered on by men building personal kingdoms with men following them instead of the Head....they can't get rich and support their kingdoms without bringing God's people into bondage.....to them....instead of teaching His people to be bond-slaves of Christ alone.
  8. we've got an opportunity to stop doing church and start being church
  9. The New Testament teaches giving, not tithing. We are to be led by the Spirit ....just give where He says give, how much He says to give and how often And don't be too concerned what people think about it. God is who we need to please
  10. i personally lean hard toward believing 1948, "nation born in a day" truly did mark the beginning of the last generation. But i'm not quite sure how all the rest fits yet Right now I'm pretty sure we've seen the onset of a very significant birth pain, but how many more do we have in front of us before the Kingdom is born? Dunno.... This one isn't over, it's just beginning...but what He will do in it is going to be simply magnificent. I just know in my heart, the King is coming...and soon. Whatever that means in days, weeks, months or years....He's coming soon. And that excites me. maranatha
  11. The topic interests me but I really don't feel I have all the puzzle pieces either. I do think both 1948 and 1967 are prophetically significant, but I can also see that the temple mount is still under gentile control too. The muslim waqf rules there. Where does that fit? I'm not sure....watching.
  12. it's a possibility that cannot be ruled out. I personally believe that is likely, and there is a LOT of evidence that points to the possibility. No smoking gun I'm aware of, but lots of circumstantial evidence....way too much to dismiss lightly
  13. except we know it did not begin in the wet market. And so does the MSM that keeps spouting that meme. The fact that the first patient known to have contracted COVID-19 had no connection to the wet market in Wuhan and no epidemiological connection to any other victim has been known to China since the beginning, and was published for all the world to read since late December. The virus was brought to that wet market, it did not originate there. The whole basis for your desire for revenge is a lie. And there is a reason powerful people want you to believe the lie.
  14. i think if you reread carefully you'll find i never said anything about any nation being destroyed...not much else can say when you're addressing something I never said.
  15. I don't think the devil can get anywhere near Andrew Womack
  16. Nations will continue to exist even in the new earth. I don't see where there's any conflict.
  17. I wish we could get statistics from that hospital and compare them to statistics from others where no focus on prayer has materialized....i would be willing to bet patients there have a better outcome....
  18. The real culprit is a modern JIT supply chain that means there is only enough food or anything else for 3-5 days in the best stocked locations. Very efficient and economical as long as it's working. People are going to do what people do when they panic, and the vast majority are not hoarders, they are trying to buffer their families from lack by buying a bit extra and reducing their dependence on a supply chain that is failing....and will fail in much more severe ways than we've seen so far. Those that didn't have the prudence to be prepared are the ones who are screaming about how unfair these 'hoarders' are .... you might have a window of grace to fix it...i suggest you use it wisely.
  19. It's ludicrous to try to compare today's numbers (even if we could trust them) to annual flu numbers where all the numbers are established and final anyway. The dearth of logical examination of the DATA that is available just blows my mind. This thing has not even begun yet....and we're not testing ANYTHING but our ability to make tests available. This thing is still spreading faster than we can test for it and we haven't even begun to catch up. The currently most devastating clusters are starting to ramp up testing to levels that can conceiveably begin catching up, but the vast majority of this nation is still lacking vigorous testing. This thing is spreading like wildfire to those areas that don't seem to be much affected, and the numbers reported are not even remotely reflective of that yet. If we want to see declining numbers as China, and hopefully Italy and Spain have, we'll have to do what they have done to contain it....and we haven't even started good on non-pharmaceutical interventions. We still have 12 states that haven't done ANYTHING.....
  20. don't forget Iran and Israel They're all knee deep in this too Syria and Iraq are pawns...actually they all are if you lift your eyes to the supranational level where the real string pullers are making the decisions that matter....
  21. This war will be played out at the level of nation states, but it is not being provoked by the nations themselves. It is coming according to a plan that intends to DESTROY nation states, and make way for a global government. This country will lose it's international relevance and dominance in the aftermath, just as intended. Both economically and militarily. All the lies being told by false prophets to keep His people asleep are going to be seen for what they are by all....but by then, it will be too late to do much to prepare. Those who are His, AND have cultivated a love for the truth, and have a relationship with Him that is intimate and personal, will do fine. Those who have never cultivated an ear that KNOWS His voice, are going to find themselves taken home early.
  22. There are so many other things on their way right now we SHOULD be talking about and aware of, it's disappointing to see so many can't even get past that utterly false and totally disproven lie that the annual flu is worse. And as serious as this pandemic is, it's far from the most serious thing coming toward us with the speed of a freight train. Of all the people on earth who should be lovers of the truth, it seems the christian community is even more "head in the sand" than the world is. The global pandemic response to this virus has been GUTTED, by the very institutions who claim to be the guardians against it. And it's been done on purpose. We better wake up to the hour, and find out what the Lord is doing in this hour. Those that do, will not be fearful. They will be preparing for being a part of His plans and purposes. They will know the TRUTH...and understand the battlefield we are called to fight on.
  23. Well, as a watcher of the signs of the times, I know war is on the horizon. Few seem to be aware as yet, but it's very likely it will touch American soil when it comes. I've tried as best I knew how to get people to realize just how serious just this virus is, and what the follow on effects will be....without much apparent success. I haven't even been able to talk about what this coming war will likely mean....much less get anyone to think about prudent preparation for it. I'll keep trying....
  24. IF you could know....which neither of us do....you condemn your own conclusions and can't even see it? If you'd like an example of what data driven analysis looks like, take a look at Chris Martenson's work. Start at the beginning and look at what data was available when, and just how predictive the meta data that IS known and reliable has been at predicting exactly what we're seeing right now....beginning over two months ago. Start at the beginning and learn what R0 is, what herd immunity is, and what scientific studies, available for months have been telling us. It's darn sure not what our government or the MSM have been telling us. Chris Martenson -COVID-19 analysis and updates I became aware of this about January 9th and began tracking it closely about the 19th. By then it was OBVIOUS we had a serious issue developing and it was obvious we were being lied to about it. If you love the truth, you will educate yourself enough to discern what it is and stop misleading people. I went full alert on January 22nd when 40 million people got locked down as a control measure to contain something every public official was saying was under control....China's ACTIONS were not matching the calming lies they and the WHO were telling and over the next week fully half of China's population was locked down....760 million people. Common sense tells you they would never cripple their own economy unless something scared the hell out of them. Wake up.....it's late.
