attacking another denomination are included in this rule.

[GodsGrace]

If any leader was ever possessed by Satan, it was Hitler. Because of him, 70 million died on WWII (6+million Jews included). Thr Red warning flag certainly came out of the pocket. The Japs were no better, they made a big mistake too.
Thr red flag is out again in the Middle East. Iran is fighting it's proxy war on many fronts. They will be next. Hamas, Houthies and Hezbollah are being defeated. The Beast ( which in my opinion is a group of ten Islamic nations) will attack Israel soon and Israel will suffer greatly, but Christ will return and destroy them.

Oops.
I think you're forgetting Marx and Stalin.
It's a close call.

But I do have to agree that Hitler was a special case....
(because he SPECIFICALLY set out to exterminate an entire race).

My point wasn't about the wars of this world. I'm saying this is a time of emergency because of what is threatening and overtaking the church spiritually. It's a time of sounding the trumpet of warning and calling for repentance which you appear to be taking offense to. This is just like Israel in Elijah's time when Jezebel was slyly ruling Israel through Ahab - church leadership - and leading the nation astray to follow her god Baal. Like then (those things happened unto them for our ensample and admonition), the spirit of Jezebel is being well-tolerated these days but the spirit of Elijah isn't. Nothing new under the sun.

When Jesus returns He will destroy this whole world of all who dont' believe in Him, both Jew and Gentile. As per 2 Peter 3. Only believers will be spared the wrath. And also at that time when He returns He will hand the kingdom back over to the Father as per 1 Corinthians 15. Jesus meant it when He said His kingdom is not of this world. Looking for utopia on this earth is going to lead many souls (Jew and Gentile) to the son of perdition who will promise them utopian peace in this world. (We need to go back to the drawing board as regards to Revelation....a true interpretation of Rev will not contradict those earlier scrips. Jesus is ruling and reigning now....all authority in heaven and earth was given to Him when He was resurrected.)

 

[Lizbeth]

Don 't twist what I said. I said, "His intentions to gather world religions in peace is not to meld their religious beliefs with ours, it is just offering an olive branch, loving your enemies and in this process, done with love, grace, gentleness and kindness, all other religions receive a genuine feeling of the Love of God and in this way may make a presentation of the Gospel more welcoming and some may just see the Light."
God is Love and His love flows through us. As we care for, share, reach out to others, this is an extention of His love.
> You cannot account for anyone's thoughts or feelings in response to the message he gives to anyone!

Unfortunately the Pope's way is "a way that seemeth right to man but leads to death". Basically it's misguided, unspiritual, self-righteous virtue signaling and not the gospel that Jesus and the apostles preached. It's of the flesh in other words, not of God's Spirit. "Know ye not that friendship with the world is ENMITY WITH GOD?"

 

[Marvelloustime]

HE who is with us would not teach another gospel .
HE who belongs to CHRIST would not contradict HIS WORD .
He who denies JESUS IS THE CHRIST , IS ANTI CHRIST .
HE who beleives NOT the testimony GOD gave of HIS SON , calls GOD a liar .
And its about high time this church age RELEARNS that simple fact and fast .
He who loves CHRIST would keep HIS commandments .
BELIEVE YE ON HIM and to love one another .
HE who LOVETH GOD would have LOVED CHRIST , for Christ came forth of GOD .
SO that just ruled out the unbeliever and any other false religon .
And lastly , Know and understand that JESUS the CHRIST of GOD is not a minstir of sins .
Thus if ya jesus is holding rainbows , or hundred dollah bills yall , or accepting any other sin
IT AINT JESUS THE CHRIST , its another image of him being used by many who use HIS NAME in order to seduce ya .

 

[Marvelloustime]

I noticed you said you are not afraid to convict people of sins .
Good . and i , LIKE You , already know GOD IS THEIR Judge and not me .
But warning against wolves and false prophets and leaders and even naming them , That aint judging at all
that is called looking out for the church . You see my words against these false wicked men of belial
but what you dont see are the tears i have cried for them and for those who are trapped under their delusion .
But i am grave . I cannot argue a bit about that . but my gravity comes from a heart that fears FOR
and desires only what is GOOD for the people . Now if i do seem a bit grave
then i invite you to see again what The apostels wrote , what JESUS said , what even the apsotels told the church to do
concering sin and error within said church . When you read that
again , you gonna see that perhaps i have not been GRAVE enough . they were far more grave than i .
But there is always hope for me that i will increase in these warnings for the good of the people .
TRUTH is , due to most have about zero idea about true correction
I have had to seriously tone down the warnings . And due to most see a warning against any denomination as an attack
I have even had to seriously tone down the warnings . But the question we need to ask ourselves is
If todays church sees me as a hater , grave , misguided because i do warn against sin and error and false doctrines and false
leaders , WHAT ON EARTH would they have called JESUS THE CHRIST and the true apostels . I SHUDDER at that thought .
FOR i know what they would have called them , haters and monsters that dont know GOD or love . that is what scares me
big time for so many as well .

No offense here, I was defending the Catholic church/Pope but I'm not Catholic. We ha e peoole on this forum who have a vendetta against the Catholic Church/ Pope and are demonizing them - which is wrong! They are part of the Body of Christ.
Liberalism has entered into the Church, but I have faith God has got it all in check. His children will not be snatched out of His hand, so whoever remains corrupted, falls away and remain lost, are reprobate.

It is interesting you mention trumpets. People in various places on the world have heard a trumpet sound.

Jesus is ruling and reigning now....all authority in heaven and earth was given to Him when He was resurrected.)

Jesus is our Lord and God and so we worship Him. But the rest of the unbelievers are not and they are under Satan's rule. When Jesus returns, He will destroy all of his human enemies and lock up Satan and his demons for 1000 years, THEN He will physically sit in David's throne _ in Jerusalem _ and rule the world of all believers. All will worship Him for 1000 years.
"Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death."
1 Cor. 1:24-26
The GT, the 1000 years reign, then Satan is once again released to do his final deeds and finally is destroyed ...
then the end comes ( including the second resurrection) and at that time, death and Hades ( and every soul in it) has been cast into the Lake of Fire and destroyed. Then He will hand over the kingdom to the Father.

I don't know what you mean by PROPHETIC EVENTS,
but who is going to determine THE TRUTH?
You?
Me?

I haven't been here very long and I think this thread is about stuff that's happened here....
but what danger?
Which hypocrites?

Hi. Eschatology is fraught with difficulties because there are 3 different methods of interpreting prophecy in the church. Each one is exclusively independent of the other 2 with slight overlaps. Those 3 are preterism... where prophecy is generally thought to have been completed by 70ad. Then there is futurism, whereby almost everything is yet to be fulfilled, but focuses on the nation of Israel as being the catalyst for most of prophetic fulfillment. Revelation chapters 5 on is said to be yet future. The 3rd method of hermeneutic is historicism which contends that most prophecy began to be fulfilled immediately from the time it was first given, and continued to unravel or evolve until the second coming. It is believed by most historicists that there is very little left to be fulfilled, and that the second coming is imminent, after a few remaining explicit or specific prophecies to be met.
There are a few important features of preterism and futurism that they share, despite being centuries apart in time. First, they both have massive gaps in the historical narrative of roughly 2000 years of Christian history which appears as if God didn't know or didn't care about.
Second, neither take any stock or interest in the most harrowing and dreadful periods of Christian persecution, that being the dark ages. Did God not know? Did He forget to include it in prophecy? Did He not think it important enough to include? Did the torture and deaths of millions of Christians on both sides not interest Him? What of the Reformation? What of the rise of the Catholic Church which claims to be the primary institution in the religious world? These things are basically dismissed by most of Christianity simply because their ideology denies their relevance. Historicists don't. Historicists such as myself recognise the rise of the papacy in prophecy. We also recognise the United States, the Reformation, the great awakening of the 19th century. We see these events as keys to understanding the future. We are virtually in appreciating the huge significance of the role the RCC and US Protestantism are playing even now in world politics and how they will unite in the future to persecute true believers who will choose to reject their adulterous relationship with the kings of the earth and cleave only to Jesus. The persecution of the dark ages will be repeated. Laws in favour of "orthodox" worship will include penalties for dissension. Fines. Removal of access to finance for buying and seeking. Imprisonment. And finally death. It's all in prophecy, neatly and clearly laid out. Many people are listening, studying, discovering truth, and adding their voices to the warning cry to "come out of her My people". But not everyone. Many are too locked into their ideologies that Satan has devised to hide the Antichrist from plain sight, while all the world wonders after the beast.

the or an anti christ is not hidden from sight all .
THIS is that which is OF ANTI CHRIST which ye have heard should come Into the world , Even now it is IN the WORLD .
Even now there are many anti christs who sit under an anti christ message
and to them it sounds as though its loving and for the good of humanity .
But it is OF ANTI CHRIST and remember there is a way that seems RIGHT unto man but the end is death .
There is a love that seemeth right to the world but the end of that love , that unity , that liberty
and that freedom , IS STILL death .
THERE is the version of GOD , HIS LOVE , HIS unity , HIS freedom , his liberty , HIS peace and etc
and the world has another version . That which is of anti christ will pander to the world through the version
the flesh does so easily accept . The beast that was and is of the seven
for it has been throughout generations. The beast that WAS , the beast that IS NOT , the beast that IS .
Its been before , and it cometh in the eight king .
The Spirit of the WHORE , MYSTERY babylon has not slept . She has been and now IS
gathering the tribes to merge as one under a love and a religion of so called love . AND THEY DO MERGE .
I repeat they are merging now more than ever before and the majority of christendom ,
from whence this wickedness has come , fall more and more in number daily to its universal peace , love , unity
common ground bridge buidling message . THIS WHORE HAS INFILTRATED my friend .
SHE has been at work FOR YEARS my friend . for many years and has great influence upon the kings and presidents
even Imams bow to her will as they join her peace pact . Some of them phrases I KNOW folks have heard in their churches .
HERE was another method , THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE . read that and weep . This entity has worked through many
and it has led most of christendom and the false religoins to merge more and more under its shade .
OH i know folks do not want to beleive this to be true . BUT IT BE TRUE and i shall not fail to warn of that HARLOT
or her all inclusive fake lovey do message by which she has done all to UNIFY this people .

(because he SPECIFICALLY set out to exterminate an entire race).

That which is of anti christ has set out to decieve all tribes , peoples , faiths and religoins
to merge as one . It too has a common foe
and it will make this foe appear to seem dangerous and non loving .
Much of christendom is under its sway and sing to its version of love and unity and they find common ground
with darkness .
To the lost within christendom and to the false religions , to even atheist and the world
this anti christ song of love has become their god now .
Of course the athiest will never call it god . But its their god .
Special reason i dont captilize that god , cause its the dragon in wool .
IT has a common enemy and in its heart its desire to rid the earth of its common non conforming enemy
it sells to the peoples entrapped and ensnared in its false version of love .
They now see this spiritiual race of people as haters , as judgers
they see them as non loving and even a potential danger to society .
WHO IS spiritual race that so many now seem to see as dangeous and judmgental .
they are the very lambs of CHRIST who hold that bible as truth and wont conform one bit in the direction
this world and her religoins and all peoples are headed .
Folks like me my friend . WHO wont budge from a page of that bible are now seen as the most hateful
non tolerant things that ever walked the earth and THIS cometh even from much of CHRISTENDOM and those who sit under
them sold out churches . Just remember , folks like me never gave false hope to this world .
WE SAID YE MUST ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST and that all other religons DO NOT KNOW GOD
and are lost in darkness and NEED to preached JESUS to them . But that is become seen as hateful and judgmental .
WE have us a massive delusoin going on and its come in under the guise its love and its the love of GOD .
IT SURE AINT .

this pope is total bad news . but i know , to many just cause he smiles and says love they THINK WOW what a man OF GOD .
todays christanity as well as the false religoins , they are all headed right in the same direction .

the prophets of baal are many .
Isnt it something that was occured to JERSUALEM has now Rotted up within Christendome itself .
As with the jew so with the church . very few stand and contend for the truth .
and if one does he makes himself a prey to the teeth of the wicked who defend their sin .
It seems like this has occured .
What GOD told JERUSALEM . YE have become as SODOM unto me
you no longer even try and hide your sins , you celebrate them in the streets . We are about
to see THE FIERCE JUDGMENT of GOD upon a christendom and a world that merged under a lie
that had rejected the love of the truth whereby they could have been saved
and sat under a broad path lie that ends in damnation .
The fiery trials shall come upon even western socities . The call to BUY of THE LORD THE GOLD TESTED IN THE FIRE
IS ON THE RISE . be zealous and repent is the call .

and beware the HARLOT . For she has sat a queen and has said in her heart i am no widow and shall see no sorrow .
COME YE OUT of her my peoples that ye be not partakers OF HER SINS and thus do not recieve of her plagues .
FOR STRONG IS THE LORD GOD who shall judge her .
Christendom has fallen , she has fallen
Those in wool have taken captive many houses now . Get you up and out of said places
and into the scriptures . preach the gospel now , learn that JESUS in the bible now . Learn all things HE did teach .
The whore has sold her drink , her lie to the religoins of earth and they merge as one under the shade of a HARLOT .

 

[Ronald David Bruno]

Telling folks we all have truth and that no religoins truth is better than anothers ,

I think that is a true statement. What's wrong with that?

Let's dissect it.
What are some common truths in all religions?

Love;
Compassion;
Kindness;
Respect;
Forgiveness;
Empathy;
God created everything;
The Golden rule;
Concepts of good and evil,
Belief in freedom of thought and expression;
Don't murder, lie, steal, covet, and honor yout parents.

The differences are that Jesus is a focal point of one religion only. And so we pray and worship to the God of the Bible. But many of God's truths have permeated the world regardless of where it is imbedded.

So, the Pope was merely implying that any of those truths above are equality valuable in all religions. There is only one truth about a specific act/behavior. He is just trying not to step on toes, play it neutral, look for commonality.
Of course if YOU stood among various religious groups in a gathering and spoke, your dialogue would be quite different, lol.
Maybe you should read: "How To Make Friends And Influence People".
There is a gift of evangelism ( Eph. 4:11).
I know I don't have it and I am absolutely sure you don't either. Apparently you think you have a gift of judging the human heart of those you don't even know or met based only on things you read and your misinterpretation of it.

Soon all religoins will believe they worship the same GOD . THAT IS THE PLAN buddy .

No. Christians will not worship a false God, they won't be deceived. When the time comes, they will say no and persevere to the death if necessary. Many will take the mark of the Beast.

Hi. Eschatology is fraught with difficulties because there are 3 different methods of interpreting prophecy in the church. Each one is exclusively independent of the other 2 with slight overlaps. Those 3 are preterism... where prophecy is generally thought to have been completed by 70ad.

Thanks for such a good reply.
Jesus did prophecy re 70AD....
He also seems to mix up teaching on this with the end of the world.
But I can't believe everything happened in 70AD...so no preterism for me.

Then there is futurism, whereby almost everything is yet to be fulfilled, but focuses on the nation of Israel as being the catalyst for most of prophetic fulfillment. Revelation chapters 5 on is said to be yet future.

This makes sense to me....and Israel as the catalyst...sure seems that way.

The 3rd method of hermeneutic is historicism which contends that most prophecy began to be fulfilled immediately from the time it was first given, and continued to unravel or evolve until the second coming. It is believed by most historicists that there is very little left to be fulfilled, and that the second coming is imminent, after a few remaining explicit or specific prophecies to be met.

I agree with this too.
Hope I don't have to choose!

There are a few important features of preterism and futurism that they share, despite being centuries apart in time. First, they both have massive gaps in the historical narrative of roughly 2000 years of Christian history which appears as if God didn't know or didn't care about.
Second, neither take any stock or interest in the most harrowing and dreadful periods of Christian persecution, that being the dark ages. Did God not know? Did He forget to include it in prophecy? Did He not think it important enough to include? Did the torture and deaths of millions of Christians on both sides not interest Him? What of the Reformation? What of the rise of the Catholic Church which claims to be the primary institution in the religious world? These things are basically dismissed by most of Christianity simply because their ideology denies their relevance. Historicists don't. Historicists such as myself recognise the rise of the papacy in prophecy. We also recognise the United States, the Reformation, the great awakening of the 19th century. We see these events as keys to understanding the future. We are virtually in appreciating the huge significance of the role the RCC and US Protestantism are playing even now in world politics and how they will unite in the future to persecute true believers who will choose to reject their adulterous relationship with the kings of the earth and cleave only to Jesus. The persecution of the dark ages will be repeated. Laws in favour of "orthodox" worship will include penalties for dissension. Fines. Removal of access to finance for buying and seeking. Imprisonment. And finally death. It's all in prophecy, neatly and clearly laid out. Many people are listening, studying, discovering truth, and adding their voices to the warning cry to "come out of her My people". But not everyone. Many are too locked into their ideologies that Satan has devised to hide the Antichrist from plain sight, while all the world wonders after the beast.

I don't understand the huge significance of the CC.
It's a dying church. It's always trying to figure out how to get the pews filled again, but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
As to the persecutions of the dark ages being repeated - yes - I'm very worried about this. I now I'm not supposed to be and should only trust in God but the problem is that man is running part of the schedule down here on earth.
I'm attending a Catholic church right now and have been for quite a few years. I just don't see all this wrong stuff that Protestants are always posting...I don't understand the apparent hatred for this church.
I think it's like any other denomination...it gets some things right and some wrong. Isn't this true for any church?
We're just all trying to do our best. I don't see anything dark and scheming within the CC, and I see it from the inside.

Thanks for explaining the 3 types of ways to understand Revelation.
I just never thought it was important to study eschatology...maybe I was wrong?

The sense of being hidden was in context of prophecy. Futurists cannot see the antichrist that is working in plain sight right under their noses. They still think he's not come yet, and they won't be here anyway, so who cares?
Preterists are even worse. They think he's come and gone. SMH

Concepts of good and evil,
Belief in freedom of thought and expression;
Don't murder, lie, steal, covet, and honor yout parents.

The differences are that Jesus is a focal point of one religion only. And so we pray and worship to the God of the Bible. But many of God's truths have permeated the world regardless of where it is imbedded.

So, the Pope was merely implying that any of those truths above are equality valuable in all religions. There is only one truth about a specific act/behavior. He is just trying not to step on toes, play it neutral, look for commonality.
Of course if YOU stood among various religious groups in a gathering and spoke, your dialogue would be quite different, lol.
Maybe you should read: "How To Make Friends And Influence People".
There is a gift of evangelism ( Eph. 4:11).
I know I don't have it and I am absolutely sure you don't either. Apparently you think you have a gift of judging the human heart of those you don't even know or met based only on things you read and your misinterpretation of it.

You're looking very superficially at things.....what ELSE do false religions do? Haven't you read that man's righteousness is as filthy rags....and that there is no one good but God....and that there is none righteous, no not one.....? If all these religions are pleasing to the Lord why do they and all of us need a Saviour? The best that man in the flesh can offer to the Lord is strange fire from the point of view of a HOLY God, not the pure and holy fire from heaven. Man has nothing of his own that meets God's holy standard. This is why even righteous Jews obeying the Law still needed to repent and receive the Messiah/Christ. That is the GOSPEL........which doesn't agree with what you and the Pope are saying. The Pope is trying to draw people to his institutional church, not to Christ, with his soft feminized kumbaya message.

No. Christians will not worship a false God, they won't be deceived.

Here again, I'm truly worried for you. How many times are we warned in scripture from cover to cover to not be deceived? Even Eve in the Garden got deceived and she was a type/figure for the church which was born out of the last Adam's side. People need to wake up and get their head out of the clouds and receive and learn the word of God.....this is not a drill. The first thing even Jesus warned of when the disciples asked Him about the end, was to "take heed that ye be not deceived".
