What ever happened to singers like this? “Pop music” today? give me a break.

If the debate goes against the wicked witch tonight, the name of the song will be fitting.

Sad to say the “millennials,” most of them godless, have a certain take on what that “new day in the morning” means. They see it as a communist/antichrist one world government, their “new day.”

For those of us believers, that “new day” will be the millennial reign of Jesus Christ, book of Revelation chapter 20...which will come after the impostor “new day” of the antichrists of this world. There is a new day coming, but the very dark day of antichrist has to come first.

The Bell P-39 Airacobra must come close to being one of these “worst fighters.”

Is this where you and MacArthur are coming from, based on the Greek, Christians will be saved if they take the mark of the beast?

I don’t believe the antichrist will be Muslim, quite the opposite, he defeats them.

In prophecy, he is depicted as a warrior going forth to battle (the white horse/first seal). Defeating Islamic terrorism in a great battle, he will be hailed a hero by the world. Jews will see him as their Messiah.

As to Christians, those superficial in the prophetic scriptures, will think him to be a wonderful hero also. And due to their various interpretations of who they believe the antichrist to be, some, most notably the dispensationalists, will believe it impossible for him to be the antichrist.

Once ensconced in the temple at Jerusalem, he will demand an image be made of himself, and a mark imposed on those who believe he is a false Christ, NOT the Messiah. And that, my dear friend, is where the Rev. 14:9-11 passage I posted, and John MacArthur’s interpretation of it comes to the fore.

Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

The beast is the false Christ, are you saying, when forced to choose between the true Christ and the false one, and you choose to take the false Christ's mark upon you, choosing to worship the false Christ instead of the true Christ, and yet you will be saved?

No amount of theological gerrymandering can change the obvious intent of this passage.

We know how John MacArthur interprets prophecy in relation to love. He says, despite such warnings as Rev. 14:9-11, Christians can take the mark of the beast and still be saved.

His problem is he is a pre-trib dispensationalist. He himself it going to get taken out in a pretrib rapture, those “left behind” are going to have to deal with the antichrist, his image, and his mark. Not him. And to show you how much love he has, he says believers in Christ during those times, since they love Christ, can take the mark of the beast and be saved.

Let me guess, you are in the Air Force...or come from a family that is? The Air Force has called for the elimination of the Navy, and more particularly its air arm, what they consider their competition, for over 60 years now.

Take a look at a globe, most of it is water, the Navy has been our first line of defense since the days of John Paul Jones, and will continue to be so.

Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Tom Cotton (R-AR), are calling on President Obama to negotiate a new free-trade agreement with the United Kingdom (UK) following the UK’s “Brexit” from the European Union last month.

>Hats off to Mike Lee and Tom Cotton, great senators, good leadership on UK’s Brexit.

“The Great Gatsby” a feckless wealthy couple: “...careless people, Tom and Daisy.

>Neither this feckless couple mentioned here, nor Bonnie and Clyde, can hold a candle to Bill and Hillary.

But isn’t Mika supposed to be Roman Catholic? Her last name Brzenski sounds Polish, and Poles are mostly Catholic. Catholics don’t do divorces...right? Assuming this story is bonafide, and she is Catholic, she isn’t living up to her Catholicism.

The historical tracing of the ten northern tribes westward from the Caucacus region through Europe to the British Isles by British Israel theorists, is a fascinating story to be sure.

Scripture is claimed to support the theory, by “scripture,” or course the old testament is meant, for the new testament says nothing at all about it.

If such an important thing as this were true

- since most of the old testament is addressed to “Israel,” the ten northern tribes they tell us, then most of the Bible has to be ABOUT these ten tribes, allegedly the Caucasian peoples of the west -

then surely Jesus would have known it, and passed this on to his apostles. Doesn’t it say in Luke 24:45, that Jesus “opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures?” The same OT scriptures, the British Israelite proponents claim as chief support for their theory.

Yet we find no evidence in Acts or the epistles that the apostles believed and taught such. On the contrary, it is clear that when they used the word “Israel” it NEVER meant what the British Israel proponents say it means.

>it was a strategic stroke that shook Japan’s military to it’s core. that the Home Islands were open to attack that early after Pearl Harbor was never considered possible and it forced a full re-allocation of valuable strategic resources it did not have.

>>There is something else the raid forced, and often overlooked. The Japs now realizing how vulnerable they were from attacks from the sea, decided they had to complete what they failed to do at Pearl Harbor. They decided to implement Admiral Yamamoto’s plan - finish off the US fleet in a large confrontation at Midway...first, then to Pearl Harbor again to finish off what was left of the US fleet.

We all know about the US Navy’s great victory at Midway. In hindsight, we can see that the courageous Halsey-Dolittle raid, in presaging the Midway victory, was a major contributor to the turning the war around in the Pacific, and ultimately the winning of the war.

Yep, what you and your fellow evolutionists and atheist libertarians (both find a ready home in libertarian ranks) believe is as much an abomination to me, as what I believe is to you.

If you open up this attraction for evolution based Christianity, you won’t have true Christians attend it. The people I mentioned, atheists, pagans, postmoderns, leftists, and certainly so, libertarians, you’ll have.

As to myself, I would avoid it like the plague.

Does this mean I’ll have to stop using Tums for heartburn?

I was only calling your hand for trying to slip in your kind of Judaizing, not trying to hijack this thread. This thread has nothing to do with what we are talking about. I’ve made my point, have a good day.

The Judaizers in Acts 15 and Galatians, who believed Christians had to be circumcised, and were commanded to keep the law of Moses, have their form of Judaizing, you have yours.

In fact, it has been my experience, that most who want to impose your form of Judaizing on Gentiles, that I have met, also do so with the law of Moses.

With the exception of circumcision, that is. Most won’t go that far. Are you one of those who believe that Gentiles have to be circumcised?

What’s with you Hebrew Roots people? We speak English here in America, must speak and read only Hebrew? We must not say, “Lord” or “Moses?”

Luke wrote his gospel in Greek, from which you quoted, not Hebrew.

Since “the builders,” unbelieving Jews, rejected Jesus the chief cornerstone, Psalms 118:22,23, the structure built on that stone, the church, became Jew and Gentile, predominately Gentile. Which is why we have the gospel of Luke written in Greek, the language commonly spoken among Gentiles at that time... to reach Gentiles.

Good, this will separate the wheat from the tares, believers from the atheists, evolutionists, pagans, postmoderns, leftists, and libertarians.

Noah’s Ark didn’t have any of those types aboard, believers only.

I don’t know about that, not many are aware of the verse he referenced, “ye thought evil against me, but God meant it for good,” Gen. 50:20.

Dishonest Ted, eh? His devoutly Christian wife, probably knows him better than you:

>Yeshiva students who basically do nothing but study this stuff all the time <

From what I gather, Yeshiva students don’t “study this stuff all the time,” they study the Talmud and Kabbalah.

No fan of Kasich, but I was pleasantly surprised he knew the Bible well enough to know about Joseph and Joshua. I doubt whether Trump, Hillary, or Sanders, would know.

Cruz, certainly so, his Dad’s a preacher.

Yes, but this isn’t about Protestantism in general, this is specifically about Ted Cruz and his preacher Dad - who are Premillennial Baptists...NOT Dominionists.

Don’t let facts get in your way.

It would help greatly, in determining whether or not Cruz is a Dominionist, if we were to understand Christian eschatology. Dominionism is Post-millennialism eschatology, usually in combination with Preterism.

In this form of eschatology, there is no “end time” ahead of us, no future antichrist, end time prophecy has already been fulfilled (in 70 AD). With the end time in the past, all that lies before those that believe this, is Christianity conquering the world, taking “dominion” over it.

In short, the bringing in of a one world Christian theocracy - which theologians call the “Millennium” (thousand year kingdom of Christ) As to the second coming of Christ, that occurs AFTER the Millennium.

Does Ted Cruz believe in this form of doctrine? Even more significant, does his preacher Dad believe it? Absolutely NOT. Both are Premillennial Baptists - which is NOT Dominionist, Postmillennialist nor Preterist.

To identify Ted Cruz with this belief, is slander of the first order. An absolute lie.

How one believes about Israel is a clear identifier as to whether one is a Postmill Preterist or not (a Dominionist). Premillennialists are extremely pro-Israel, Cruz is a fierce defender of Israel.

>>Being an evolutionist, I presume you also an Darwinist.<<

Neither term exists, except in the minds of a scad few and even then there is no agreement as to their meaning.

>The term exists, except in the minds of a scad few who don’t like being called, or labeled, “evolutionist.”

Your post is an “Alas Babylon” all right. Ancient Babylon with its tower of Babel, the mother of paganism, the original one-worlders.

Being an evolutionist, I presume you also an Darwinist. If so, are you aware that Darwin did not invent the evolution idea? Pagans came up with the idea long before Darwin. Its a pagan theory. Believed by the Hindus, the Greek “mystery” religions, Greek philosophers, and occultic secret societies. Darwin plagarized the idea, he got it from pagan thought that preceded him.

Alas “Mystery” Babylon...the mother whore of the earth, Rev. 17:7.

The astronomers in the NY Post featured video said there could be a 9th planet affecting asteroids and comets beyond Pluto, giving reasons why they think this. I can believe this might be so. But a Nibiru planet to hit the earth this month? That’s baloney pseudo-science. The astronomers mentioned, said nothing about this.

Ted Cruz.

Three C’s: Christian, Constitutionalist, Conservative

As long as you call yourselves “Marines” you are going to have that connection. Perhaps you should just call yourself “soldiers” like the Army, not “Marines.”

Since your museum depicts only Army-like ground warfare, distancing themselves from the Navy and the sea, maybe the Marines at Quantico ought to just go ahead and join the Army. They’d be glad to have you.

The very word “Marine” defeats your argument. The word seems to have something to do with the sea. likewise, the Merchant Marines.

The origin of the Marines traces back to the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines. Check out the Horatio Hornblower series on youtube. they depict the Marines, dressed out in red, as sea soldiers, always operating in conjunction with the Royal Navy.

Whether US sailors and marines like it or not, the US Navy and Marine Corp tradition derives from the British Navy and Marines. Where does the color of US Navy (blue) and Marines (red) uniforms come from, but the Brits? Along with a great many other traditions.

A glance at a globe supports what you said. Two great oceans, the Pacific and Atlantic, on both sides of us. Any attempt to defeat and take over America by forces abroad, will have to come by way of the sea. A global map proves the Navy is America’s first line of defense.

“Trump doesn’t own it either. It would take an act of congress to liquidate U.S. assets. I love you Trumpeters that think he is going to be able to just unilaterally do anything he wants.”

Though a good idea, I rather doubt Trump could pull it off. Trump really does think running the country is the same as running his company.

Thanks for your post.

Carry your line of thinking a step further, and we can do away with the Army with its tanks and other vehicles. Easy pickings from the air. No need for the Army or Navy (with the exception of its submarines) and its Marine Corps, all easy targets on land and sea, all we need is an Air Force. Right?

Sorry, I don’t buy it. All that high tech stuff doesn’t preclude boots on the ground, ships at sea.

We’ve heard this kind of talk for years from the Air Force: “who needs a Navy? All we need is the Air Force. Are you in the Air Force, or retired from it, by any chance?

The bubbleheads, Navy Sub Sailors, say similar things.

Jefferson was a Freemason, a Deist, pro-French Revolution, and pro-Illuminati.

As a Deist and a Mason, he believed there was a supreme being, but He wasn’t the one God of the Bible.

He didn’t believe in the miraculous parts of the Bible, especially the virgin birth.

He famously had his own “Bible,” in which he cut out the parts that didn’t fit his deistic and Masonic view.

Same here. Something doesn’t ring right.

There were antichrists (false Christs) before Christ, as there will be after him.

A major part of Freemasonry is their belief in the “ancient mysteries,” of which they say Jesus Christ was but another in a long line of (pagan) Christs, Tammuz, etc.

Christ said of these prior “Christs:”
“All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them,” John 10:8.

I gather then that you are a 70 AD preterist, but not “full” preterist.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but, if memory serves me right, I remember yourself arguing for preterism on these threads. I seem to remember Linda Kimball doing the same.

Something odd going on here.

So, this anti-technocracy site is against “Chiliastic-evolution,” “Chiliast” meaning the millennial kingdom of Rev. 20. They are against Chiliasm, yet they never say what millennial view they espouse.

I commend the author for being against Communism and Evolutionism, and the false “millennial” that the globalists are working towards, but that doesn’t mean the millennial kingdom of Christ in Rev. 20 is false. Only that their interpretation of it is false.

That satan would hijack something from the Bible for himself, is nothing new.

The author of this piece sounds like he is Amillennial, Preterist, or Postmillennial. If so, he is as guilty of false interpretation as the globalists are.

I am not Dispensational premill, by the way. I am Historic Premill.

Wow, what a post. These two things you said stood out the most to me:

>They didn’t care when Trump attacked Cruz’s religion, saying, “Not many Evangelicals come out of Cuba, just sayin’.” But when Cruz says that “not many Conservatives come out of Manhattan, just sayin’,” they take umbrage.

A comparison I’m not going to forget. Spot on.

>Trump apparently can insult in a most juvenile fashion anyone and get cheers from his supporters.

I’ve noticed that right here on FR. This needed to be brought to everyone’s attention.

1. Virtually everybody outside of NY, in “flyover country,” knows what NY values means, including NY FReepers, if they be honest. Cruz obviously wasn’t referring to 9-11, I’m sure he will tell us so.

2. This is a conservative website, and consistent with its social conservative values, FReepers stand against the kind of values “Babylon by the Hudson” is famous for. Probably even the NY FReepers if they be honest. (I’m not referring to the libertarian types on FR, they could care less about social conservative values)

3. How then is it, we see FR Trumpsters, surely social conservative else they wouldn’t be a FReeper, right? siding with the values of Babylon by the Hudson?

Something doesn’t compute here.

Cruz was spot on. Cruz represents the conservative values of this website. After last night’s debate, how can any FR Trumpster with social conservative values, remain so.

Cruz threw down the gauntlet last night on who is a true conservative, and who is not. Who is a bonafide FReeper, and who is not.

You are leaving out one little item. Yes, God created Adam in his image, and until the fall, he remained in that image. But once disobedience and sin entered, Adam (and Eve) were no longer in relationship with God. By extension, the whole of mankind.

It is essential now for mankind to be reconciled, redeemed, regenerated (born again). Which redemption comes only through Jesus Christ the savior. Without exception, this is true for everyone, Jew or Gentile. Man is a sinner and must be saved through Christ. And this includes the Greeks at Mars Hill, Acts 17.

Paul was not saying that the Greeks didn’t need salvation through Christ, on the contrary they were sinners, God commanded their repentance and conversion to Christ, verses 30-32.

So where are all the Kalifornians supposed to flee to? Conservative states? States like Montana have already got their limit of Kalifornians.

To really understand how Ted Cruz became what he is, just look at his Dad... having been a prisoner of the communists in Cuba. The anti-communist, anti-socialist, strain runs strong in that family!

Check out what makes tick any candidate running, no more anti-socialist among ANY of them than Ted Cruz. He is true blue. If elected, he would be our finest president ever. Even better than Reagan.

end times predicted something like this and this Pope seem to be fulfilling it.

>Assuming we are now in the prophesied end time tribulation (I personally don’t believe we are quite there yet, however), who else but this Pope, in Rev. 13:11, as the religious-socialist figure, in league with the political-socialist figure, fits the description we see there?

“He had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”

The “dragon” is a “great red” dragon, 12:3, the color red we all know which has represented the socialist/Marxist/communist left for over a hundred years now. The red socialist globalist agenda “giving power” to the political, 13:4, as well as the religious, leader.

Horns in Bible prophecy denotes power, the religious leader’s horns are “like a lamb.” Lamb, in Bible prophecy denotes “Christian.” What religious Christian leader, as we see now in this world, empowered by the red socialist/Marxist globalist agenda, can this be BUT the Pope?

Is this Pope not the Marxist from Argentina? Used by the socialists to promote their globalist plan, “Agenda 2030”... to the US Congress (first Pope in history to address the US Congress), and the UN Assembly? Every member nation represented there enthusiastically voting for the Agenda he was promoting?

Not to mention, all the other globalists schemes he is so busy promoting: Global Warming, etc.

Only those that believe may be baptized.

>And repent...

“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem,” Luke 24:47

At Jerusalem, on the day of Pentecost, repentance and remissions of sins in his name preached:

“...and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost,” Acts 2:37,38

I wondered how long before this thread would get hit by Catholics coming to bat for their Marxist Pope. Its here for all to see. And on the most conservative forum on the web no less.

>I don’t know why a premillenialist such as yourself is so hostile to Jews and Judaism when most are so supportive.

Without writing a book on this, trying to put this in a few words: I am a Historic Premillennialist - as opposed to Dispensationalist Premillennialist. It appears you may have me confused with the latter.

“Historic,” meaning the eschatological beliefs represented in ancient writers such as Justin, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Hippolytus, Victorinus - before the rise of Roman Catholicism and their Amillennial system. Justin, etc., were post-trib and premillennialist. Pretrib Dispensationalism did not arise until the early 19th century.

The Dispensationalist variety interprets the church and Israel very differently from Historic Premill.
