A frend gave me a gift of a Bible... And i read it, all.. The rest is as they say History.

1) satan 2)No. 3)satan 4)No.

It's all to do with what ones attitude is.. It is good to make plans about the future so that one will not become a burden on others.. Responsibly planning for the future is wise.. But at the same time if the person knows that God might call them at any moment to leave this life then the person is in the right place as far as attitude is concerned.. A Christian should plan for the possibility of living to 100 but be ready to leave this world tonight..

Mind boggling but it's reality.. Human beings can be evil and they can be very evil. And woman can be just as evil as men.. Society seems to do it's best to make excuses when a woman commits evil.. Not sure why? Maybe we are so desperate to guard our delusional belief that mothers can only ever be good and motherly that we want to turn a blind eye when we see a woman doing evil.. As for Psychopaths, some of them can act out the part of being a loving mother and have everyone convinced they are a paragon of virtue.. They can play this role for a long time as long as playing that role brings them material benefit and social acceptance.. But if the time ever comes where they see the child as a ""Loss making concern"" then they will have no moral trouble is getting rid of the kid in one way or the other..

If you reject the Book of Revelation because it supports the concept of a fry hell then you will have to also reject the Gospel of Luke because in it Jesus talks of a certain beggar named lazarus and how the rich man who would not help Lazarus ended up in this place suffering from the heat.. Luke 16: KJV 22 "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; {23} And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. {24} And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." Was Jesus himself a catholic agent? Or do you reject the Gospel of Luke also? In the end people can chose to believe the Word of God or they can gather to themselves theologians to tickle their ears.. 2 Timothy 4: KJV 3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; {4} And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

Please bring forward specifics in this statement.. What books of the Bible are "catholic propoganda" Oh i am an ex-catholic and i do not believe catholism is Christian.. But i ask for clarification in this issue to see what you believe.. I have hard skin i am not a pathetic snowflake i need no trigger warnings.. Who are the them you are tagging as doing a disservice to God,, Oh and PS: not caping the G when writing the title God is i believe doing a disservice to God.. Not a major disservice but still a disservice.. True some find it harder to come to the LORD, but by the moving of the Holy Spirit even a psycopath can be saved.. Well my faith has never been weakened by atheists asking such questions.. And yes a person can have any number of motivations good or bad in asking such a question.. But i am assured that God knows the motivations of the questioner and will judge justly.. So that lifts off my shoulders the responsability of figuring out the questioners motivations.. So i can simply just answer the question and let the conversation go where ever it goes.. If One is a Christian then they already know there is a higher perfect justice.. That being God and His perfect justice.. No need to search to try and find something you have already found.. I am looking forward to discovering what you believe are examples of historical fakes in the Bible..

Pre- wrath sounds a bit like Post - Trib.. Anyway i believe there will be some Christians who will bare witness to the wrath being carried out upon the wicked in the end times... God is well able to keep His Children safe from his wrath.. As the OT scriptures say.. Psalms 91: KJV 1 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. {2} I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. {3} Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. {4} He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. {5} Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; {6} Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. {7} A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. {8} Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. {9} Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; {10} There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. {11} For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. {12} They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." So for me during the wrath the Christians who have survived the great tribulation will be guarded and protected from all suffering and will witness the wrath of the LORD being poured out upon those who tribulated them..

The OP is correct.. I have personaly experienced this in my life.. One of my siblings is an Atheist and knows i am a ""Serious"" Christian.. She has shunned me.. She has not spoken to me in 6 years..

Yes indeed this is the critical question..

I believe the Ezekiel 38 battle will happen at the end of the 1000 year millennium.. I wrote a post some years ago on the topic.. Posting it below.. Comapring scriptures with scriptures.. Revelation 20 7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. Now Gog Magog is mentioned once in the OT in Ezekiel 38 and again in the Revelation 20. In revelation 20 this great battle and slaughter happens After the 1000 year reign of the Messiah Jesus. But the naming of Gog Magog is not the only interesting fact that leads me to believe that Ezekiel 38 happens at the end of the 1000 years. Lets read: Ezekiel 38 1 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you. Stop there. Now it mentions the troops from Persia Ethiopia and Libya. Why does the prophecy not mention the Egyptians? Where are the Syrians? or Sinar/Iraq? Where are all these peoples? Are the Libyans going to march through Egypt to attack Israel while the whole Egyptian nation sits quietly as the tanks roll by? Are the Iraqi's going to be doing the same when the Persians head west to Israel? And likewise is Syria and Lebanon going to take no part with the armies of the north? What has happened to these nations like Egypt and Syria? Could it be at the time of this war that these nations no longer exist? that they where destroyed 1000 years before and their lands where incorporated into the Messianic Kingdom? Take the time now to read Ezekiel 32 starting from verse 11 to the end. God promised to the descendants of Abraham a promised land that was far bigger than the one that He established for them in the time of Moses. lets read about it. Genesis 15 17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. 18 On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates So God has promised the descendants of Abraham will have a Land that includes the Nile and the Euphrates. Now Persia borders the land of the Euphrates to the east and Libya borders the land of the Nile to the west and Ethiopia borders the land of the Nile to the south. So at the time of Ezekiel the nations of Libya Ethiopia and Persia will border the greater Messianic Kingdom of the Messiah Jesus. So the reason that the nations like Egypt and Syria are not mentioned in Ezekiel 38 is because they will have long been destroyed 1000 years before the battle detailed in Ezekiel 38. Now let us continue to read Ezekiel 38: 7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. Now stop."visited". Who is going to visit them in the latter years? lets read Revelation 20 again: Revelation 20 7 Now when the thousand years have expired, satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them Also note how Ezekiel describes the condition of safety of the people dwelling in Israel: "now all of them dwell safely." Does that describe the state of affairs of Israel today?? No not in the slightest. But to make the distinction more clear read on for the next 2 verses that more clearly describe the idyllic situation that will prevail in Israel at this time: Ezekiel38 9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.” 10 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’ With no walls? no bars nor gates? Look at Israel today look at the walls, the barbed wire, the compounds, the bars, the perilous state of security. Do the people of Israel dwell in peace and safety? Or in a state of siege and under threat of terror? What kind of society needs no walls no bars or even gates? Israel today or Israel during the Reign of The Messiah Jesus? Come to think of it does any society today live in peace and safety with no need for security walls or bars or gates? Ezekiel 38 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’ During the 1000 year rule of the Messiah Jesus, we are told that many of the nations will give up their precious things and make great offering of the wealth of the nations to the Messianic kingdom. Will it be all this wealth that they will be seeking to plunder, great plunder? I believe most people have got the timing of this Ezekiel 38 battle wrong. It is not soon at all but fore tells of the final satanic rebellion that will happen at the end of the 1000 year reign of the Messiah Jesus.

Trying to give an answer to questions like this is full of danger because your dealing with individuals so you cannot give one answer that fits all the woman in the group of woman we are discussing.. So i will make some points that may be the answer for Some of the woman in question... Young woman often want to have fun.. They want to be young and free for as long as they can.. They don't want to grow up and get married and have kids until much later. Some of them want to remain as carefree girls for as long as they can get away with it.. So when they meet a serious loving Christian guy looking for a serious marriage life time relationship they RUN..... Yes they want a nice christian guy to marry and have a family with,, But not yet.. While they are still young they want to have fun and bad boys are the type of guy who provides the fun and drama ( dangerous guys are exciting ) without any hint of serious love and commitment.. Bad boys are not going to put them on the spot by asking for their hand in marriage.. Bad boys will always be allusive and hard to nail down, Bad boys are a challenge.. And yes as already revealed by Willa some girls have the belief that they can change the bad boy / Fix the bad boy.. This is their dangerous delusion.. In the old days, before feminism, woman could play this game for only 2 or 3 years before the pressure to get your husband before all the good men are taken took affect. Most woman would quickly find their nice Christian husband by the time they where 25.. Most before then.. And because they where still young and fertile they where attractive as wives to those men... But now things have changed.. Because of feminism many woman can earn more money and be financially independent and they have been told to hold off motherhood and put carrier first and to enjoy themselves before the drudgery of motherhood.. So a lot of girls have extended their teenage phase right through to their mid 30's.. So the 2 or 3 years of having fun before settling down has been extended to 15 to 18 years.. So these woman arrive at their mid 30's and they finally face the need to settle down.. But they soon find out that the nice Christian men of their past who they knocked back. The ones who where willing to commit to them and put a ring on it.. Well these guys have no interest in marrying them any more.. Apart from the fact that they are of questionable fertility that men do not want to take a gamble on, they are often are carrying a lot of mental baggage from all the torrid relationships they have been involved in over the last 15 years.. Also it has been shown that a woman who has had more then one partner have a reduced ability to pair bond with a new man long term.. So the sad fact is when modern woman are at their most attractive as wife material, that is the same time they are most resistant to commitment.. But when their beauty and attractiveness has declined to the point where the bad boys no longer pay any attention to them,, That's when they think a nice Christian man is going to sweep them of their feet and put a ring on it... And that is a delusion.. Now before people blast me note i said at the start of my post i was only talking about ""Some"" woman.. Ok Ladies

1, 3, 5.. Would be the main ways God communicates to us.. 2, 4, 6 would be minor ways.. I would also add 7. Dreams to the list.

The Father Jesus and the Holy Spirit are One.... The Father raised Jesus and Jesus raised Jesus and the Holy Spirit raised Jesus because they are One..

Yes Jesus died on the cross.. Yes Jesus death made atonement for sins.. meaning it paid the penalty for sins.. Because the penalty for sin is death. Not just the physical death of our current flesh bodies but the second death which is eternal exile from Gods perfect eternal existence.. Nothing imperfect can be allowed to enter into Gods perfect eternal existence and God cannot transform a person into a perfected person unjustly.. God is perfect in justice and therefore He cannot turn a blind eye to sin.. But God has made a Way for sins to be justly forgiven thereby allowing Him to transform sinning humans on the day of Judgement into perfect eternal beings worthy to enter His perfect existence without causing it to become imperfect. The Atonement of Jesus only pays for the sins of those who believe His teachings and who trust that His death on the cross makes Atonement for all their sins.. Believing Jesus and Trusting Jesus is the Way to salvation from the second death..

I do not claim to know, But i got the impression of feminism and some woman taking on mens roles to be the money earner and provider and marrying a man who is a stay at home dad.. Anyway i would like to hear other peoples thoughts on this..

I believe upon the resurrection we will be transformed and we will automatically know all we need to know.. Of course on this side of the resurrection/rapture we have many many questions.. I think people should ask in prayer anything they wish to ask and leave it up to God to decide if He will give and answer and how He will give the answer..

Hello Ashlee good to see you here I believe Paradise in the form of Gods spectacular city, Which is called the New Jerusalem ( described in the book of Revelation chapter 21 ) will not arrive until 1000 years after Jesus return to earth.. When Jesus returns to earth there will be a resurrection of the Saints and those Saints who are still alive at the time of the return of Jesus will be transformed into perfected beings.. So for the resurrected Saints and the raptured Saints life will be perfect but for the nations that remain they will still be imperfect and they will continue to live normal lives, But they will be under the rule of Jesus and the Saints.. Great persecution of true Christians and a Fake Messiah who many in the world will believe is the returned Jesus while others will believe is the Messiahs first coming.. He will lead a great alliance and his followers will believe that he is God and will execute people who refuse to worship His image.. Not really.. But near the time of the return of Jesus the Sun will increase in it's power and cause mankind to suffer from the heat.. The current theory of climate change has carbon emissions into the atmosphere as the cause of climate change.. So the two are different.. I see them as equal in emphasis... But on the Day of His coming there will be great wrath / judgement upon those who have persecuted the Saints.. Oh i am non-denominational..

We should have ZERO resistance to the conviction from God.. Yes some can try to be ""smart"" and try to rationalize/ justify their transgression.. But it is the way of foolishness.. What's the point of resisting God when He is ready to quickly grant you forgiveness in a twinkling of an eye.. Pride really undermines human beings.. Pride causes one to want to be self justified.. But we know (Proverbs 16:18) "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." ZERO resistance should be the only policy we should adopt when dealing with God's will..

I watched this video just last week. What a precious little one.

Just because we personally consider a sin to be exceptionally evil and we do not want those who have offended in a particular way to be forgiven, We must be guided by the Word of God and what He has revealed, We need to have faith / trust in the judgement of God not in our own feelings and assessments... Child abuse is not blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and thus can be forgiven.. His will be done

Faith is trusting God when our limited intellects cannot understand / work God out.. If you only trust in what your mind can comprehend then you are trusting in yourself only.. But we can be assured that on a joyful day we shall understand all things.. 1 Corinthians 13: KJV 9"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. {10} But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. {11} When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. {12} For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

Jesus was active before He was born into Human flesh.. Through Him all things where made remember.. John 1: KJV 1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. {2} The same was in the beginning with God. {3} All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

And you believe that telling a kid that the world only has ten years to prevent an irreversable global ecological disaster is NOT Child abuse? If you want to hear Greta Thurnberg say this very thing enter the following into the Utube search feature::

Probably.. But it will not be something that is essential to salvation.. Not a needed core doctrine..

One Instance on us Christians I NEVER Ever said it was upon people who got married before they became Christians.. Again we Christians should not seek to be yoked to un believers.. I have made this statement repeatedly in my follow up posts but you have willfully decided to disregard all my clarifications and have chosen to persist in presenting my position falsely and make slanderous accusations again me.. End of discussion..
