  1. I disagree with #1 and #2. What a great way to start, right? ( Disclaimer: This does not mean that I do not respect those who hold to these beliefs, nor do I not consider them brethren.) There are those Christians who do not agree with number one and two not based on how we feel salvation ought to he, but through years of careful scripture study. This could prove to be a long-running post. There are so many verses to consider. (Regarding #1) Please allow me to start with 1 Timothy 4:10. This verse does not mean that Christ died for every human being. It's simply stating the fact that in this world Christ is the only Savior. He is the Savior of all. It doesn't say that He is the atonement for all. John 4:42 KJV And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. Titus 3:4 KJV But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, ........................................ ( Regarding #2) Our faith "activates" nothing. If salvation was based on our ability to do something, no one would be in heaven. Ephesians 2:8 comes right out and says " and that ( faith) not of yourselves". If it's not our faith that saves us then whose can it be? Romans 3:22 KJV Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: The righteousness of God ( unto salvation) is literally through the faith of Christ.
  2. I'd like to understand why you would say something like that. You're actually implying that there's a probability that anyone who is pro Palestinian desires to commit an act of violence. As it stands right now the majority of humanity believes that we are actually witnessing a genocide taking place before our very eyes. The only ones who don't believe that are Israelis and Christian Zionists. None of this has God's blessing.
  3. Of course, I recognize the fact that anyone is capable of doing evil. In thispost I'm specifically focused on the last hundred years and what has happened to our country through a close knit group of people who are communists. They are the ones who have control of all of our institutions right now. And most people don't understand that. They do a very good job of hiding themselves, many of them change their last names.
  4. I understand what you're saying and of course not the only Nation or group of people that is going to completely follow Christ with all their heart,mind and soul are going to be born again believers in the kingdom of God. Having said that, the United States did a pretty good job of following Christian principles for the longest time. Whether a person wanted to go to a Christian church or not, they still went because everybody did it, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The majority of Americans were heavily influenced by Christians, and our society reflected that. Now we have been infiltrated by cultural Marxism which initially crept into non- Christian liberal organizations In the early twenties. Now everyone and everything is affected by a perverted, greedy incompassionate philosophy by those who seek to ruin our society. The only way to cure the problem ( if the Lord tarries) is to remove those who seek to implement anti- American, anti- Christ policies in our government, in our schools, in our media, in our banking system and in our entertainment industry. It might look like the 50's again.
  5. I agree with your sentiment. Our founding fathers went to great lengths to protect The American citizens from what is going on today in government. The forces of evil learned how to operate within the context of our Constitution. We've been taken over by a foreign entity since the JFK assassination. He was going to stop them from acquiring nuclear weapons. He wasn't going to play by their rules. But lo and behold they had their representative waiting on the wings to fully implement their policies.... That was Lyndon B Johnson. From then on our country began it's downward spiral. That's just a quick comment on the subject without getting too detailed.
  6. I want to live in a Christian country. This country was founded by Godly principles. And when society followed Christianity it was a much better society. Look at it now. Everything is divisive and perverse.
  7. You said: "Note: the evidence is out there, and is abundant, and overwhelmingly sides with Israel - but one has to dig for it. " I'm a born again Christian that totally disagrees with the narrative that has only become popular in the churches for last 100 years. And the reason why I talk about it so much is because #1 it is not Biblical. The OT Israelites received the land that God promised them ( unconditionally). In order to keep the land they needed to be obedient to God and they failed. The physical Nation was cursed from that point on and they were to receive nothing from God in the future. However, there are future promises of an eternal land for the spiritual seed of Jacob ( Christians). This foundational teaching has been understood by the Christian church for almost 2,000 years. A nation that calls themselves Jews (but are not) from Eastern Europe has stolen the identity of OT Israel and make The claim that God still owes them land. And the United States has been fighting their ( Revelation 2:9,3:9 jews) wars in the middle East for the last 25 years ( war on terror). Who benefits? Our country does not need anything from the Middle East and neither are they a threat. Muslims only became a dire threat after 9/11. In fact, the only country with nuclear weapons capability in the middle is Israel. And they are the only country that rejects the nuclear proliferation treaty, which allows weapons facilities inspections. This is all true...... One has to dig for it.
  8. Oh Marv, I've been very diligent in Revelation 20 for maybe 20 years now. The evidence is unescapable...... It's an allegory. If you don't mind (if you haven't already), look up the phrase " thousand years" in your concordance (besides the entries in Revelation 20) and see if the context of those verses can be taken literally.
  9. Michael, we're talking about Disney. Our cultural shift across the board is due to communism created by Karl Marx. That's not his real name of course. You know about the Frankfort school right? this liberal mindset that has pervaded even the Christian churches of our day was influenced by Bolsheviks 100 years ago. True Christians don't become liberals, but liberals have influenced those who at least went to church and tried to live Godly lives. We've been attacked over and over again generation after generation with smut. It's finally showing its fruit in our society. Don't blame the Methodist Church.
  10. Synagogue of Satan took a good thing that Walt Disney created and utterly morally destroyed it. That's why nobody cares about Disney. And if you're afraid to step outside of your mind and say it they got you policing your own self.
  11. The post Priests Attempt “Two Loaves” Shavuot Offering on Temple Mount for First Time in 2,000 Years appeared first on Worthy Christian News. View the full article God allowed the temple to be destroyed in AD 70 because Christ is our sacrifice now. Whatever they do over there really means nothing to God and it shouldn't mean anything to you if you're a Christian.
  12. Oh you're welcome I love this stuff. It just looks like the King James has it right with multitude not fulness when you look at how the word fulness is actually used in the Old Testament. Now mind you I just took a quick glance.
  13. Because I find no evidence for a literal millennial reign in this current earth age, any verses that one will provide to support it I must do my due diligence. Isaiah 11:4 KJV But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. This is Christ coming for judgment in the last day. I believe the phrase "rule the nations" is judgment. This is an area where I should do a word study.
  14. But that can't be because when Jesus comes it will be with devouring fire and the whole earth is going to be consumed Zephaniah 1:18 KJV Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. There isn't going to be any flesh laying around.
  15. MBack in the early 1900s the Bolsheviks (communists, Marxists) knew that they couldn't Just take over the United States like they did in Russia. Too much revolutionary spirit and most importantly too many firearms. They've done it through our schools, universities, media and entertainment. You don't have to worry about fending them off at your front door. They transformed our society without a single shot being fired. But will America go along with obeying laws set up from a world court in another country? The soon to come UN police force?
  16. Revelation 19:9,17-18 KJV And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. Marv, What are your thoughts on these verses? Same event? Literal eating of flesh? Pretty wild.
  17. I'll definitely admit it is an area I would like to study more. I have no doubt that when we see Jesus it will be the start of eternity future.
  18. Nice comparisons. Luke 17:36-37 KJV Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [37] And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. In all this time, the churches teach that it's going to be good to be taken. That means you're going to be raptured. No, it doesn't. We are waiting for the Lord to come. After the earth is cleansed those who are alive and remain will meet Him "in air" ( not in the air, " the" is italicized in the KJV). This "air" is at the time/ space the new heavens and the new earth are being created right before us. It is like we are coming out to meet the Lord, not flying away, floating around while Israel is burning red heifers.
  19. Can you even fathom what this will be like?
  20. I would handle basically all of Revelation from an allegorical perspective. And I would compare lots of scripture and pray for wisdom.
  21. You said : " But the Death of Jesus on the Cross it is the point when the New Earth was set in place. Since that time we are in the New World and the people have been living in the times of the New Earth. " 2 Peter 3:12-13 KJV Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. I would just keep reading the Bible and look for verses like these.
  22. You quoted: " Genesis 48:19 …but truly his [Manasseh’s] younger brother [Ephraim] shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become the fullness of the nations." Do you mind if I ask you what translation that is?
  23. I would never ignore Revelation 20. I fully embrace it. But my method of interpretation is different than yours.
