Usually, when we offer scripture, we also quote it. I will post the scripture for you so others can read. Acts 1:9-11 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Revelation 19:11-16 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. I don't always quote scripture both for time's sake and out of obedience to Matthew 7:6. Because not every onlooker isn't swine. Also because of Proverbs 9:7-9 and 23:9. If I don't quote it but only reference it then it is up to the person to read it if they want and therefore I am not forcing my views on them as I have been accused of in the past. Not to mention they are able to see the surrounding context at their leisure as they read it in their own Bibles if they want to be studious because once they have taken the time to look it up it is easier to keep going. And the word also tastes good so if someone is already there they will very likely keep going. But if it is handed to them many people feel that they are being force-fed and I simply don't like their reactions toward me when that is the case (and also no one wants to eat any more of what has been shoved down their throat even if it does taste good because the negative experience of being force-fed totally overrides the factor of the good taste of the word in most cases. So I changed my style of ministry accordingly only a short while ago, and I'm sticking to it because it works.

Of course this should be out in the open at this time. Edited August 12, 2014 by Geoff Primanti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jesse Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Tiffany. Jesus is sitting next to His father untill all His enemies are put under His feet. psalms110. But the spirit of christ is in your hand when you read the bible. The words in that book contains spirit. It changes hearts. We need to eat His flesh, which is spirit. And get filled. Read John 6:48--58. jesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antichrist -- a singular proper noun -- refers to "the antagonist of Christ, expected by early Christians to appear and reign over the world until overthrown at Christ's Second Coming."

Could Jesus be walking the earth right NOW as we speak? Jesus after the resurrection ascended back to heaven and now is sitting on the right hand of the Father. Jesus told us that if he didn't go away that the Comforter (Holy Spirit) would not come and that we wouldn't be left comfortless. The Holy Spirit descended you can read on the day of Pentecost and we are no longer comfortless but we have a comforter sent from God that will lead and guide us into all truth. Jesus is not walking the face of the earth today but he does live and breath in the life of a believer who will be a living sacrifice giving their voice, hands and feet to Christ living in them.
