I wasn’t arguing that it happened, it is obvious something happened, only the frequency to those who wish to assign some sort of meaning to their perceptions of frequency.
Founding Fathers throwing tomatoes at its lost children?
Amen to that!!
Thank you for your reporting, we cannot count on the Government to tell us the truth, especially now with you know who running the dog and pony show....
GOD has meaning, he is not a GOD that is about confusing the facts....
As Jesus said...*Let those who have ears to hear hear!*
Are you sure what you read was 'reporting'?
Then why are we putting our human assumptions on something we don't know the facts about (these sounds, etc). If God doesn't 'confuse the facts' then this should be clear. The fact is, we don't know, right now, what is making these sounds, but we have historical ideas of what could cause these sounds- asteroids, sonic booms from jets, weather, etc.. Your post right above this shows that we need to work on discernment, Camel seemed to be making a /sarc comment about seeing the weather but 'knew the truth' that was obviously was weather wasn't.
How does it spread the faith when we take every little thing that happens as some sort of sign, like the pagans of old watching birds or eclipses?
The God I know doesn't deal with ambiguities and doesn't need divination to understand. This seems on the verge of geomancy, helomancy, or pyromancy.
No, it couldn't. Not if you take the Bible seriusly, and not treat it as a comic book of sorts.
WOW
Some naysayers just have a knack for
PROVIDING PERSISTENT COMFORT
in their seeming addiction to being
WHOLESALE WRONG! LOL.
I love it.
What a gift to such a thread.
What air force bases are near?
Love your posts as usual.
Admirable and courageous efforts to impact the granite perspective. Alas, I don’t know that there’s thousands of years left to effect any detectable influence in such matters. LOL.
And certainly not all UFO’s are of the fireball sort! LOL.
I don’t know what the stats are on that . . . I’d guess that fireball sorts of things genuinely construed to be probable UFO’s vs meteors are less than 8%. May well be less than 5%.
Not sure if your post is satire, authentic fingers-in-cheek or what.
We really do have a significant number of FREEPERS who have experienced such things first hand but decline to go even semi-public with it. Sometimes they will let Las Vegas Dave and I post their reports anonymously.
It’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”
“More fodder for the Rapture Ready® crowd.”
We of the “Rapture Ready crowd”, don’t put any stock in Twilight Zone stuff. The most important “Sign” we have lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. ;)
First of all...Jesus said he would return over 2000 years ago....and he will. He gave us *SIGNS,* and he told us in the LAST DAYS...DO NOT BE DECEIVED..he said that 3 times, so people would not fall for false doctrine, wether that is
Homosexuality is a gift from GOD, Satan does not exist, They’re many ways to go to heaven...Jesus isn’t the only way, and Aliens and UFO’s are out there....
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT...
However the Bible speaks of what we as followers of the Gospel should be aware of...Read Ezekiel or the 7 Plagues of Egypt or what happens and has happened when GOD pours his *Judgement* on a sinful un-repentful nation...
I try and bring all people to the *Truth* that Jesus Christ is the *WAY* the only way to reconcile sinners to a loving just GOD...
But I can tell you on another forum I post on, many people believe that Aliens are coming to earth to help mankind preserve itself...They believe all these happenings are indicators that Aliens exist, yet they deny GOD...I will continue to spread the word that Jesus is the only way and that the *Delusion* people believe about Aliens, Alien abductions are the work of Satan and his demonic army.
Jesus gave us the gift of wisdom through prophecy..(The Bible) not hocus pocus or fortune telling but as a way we know his truth in everything that happens on this planet.
*LOOK UP FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH*!
My 2 cents..:)
I, for one, welcome our New Alien Overlords!
Exactly!
Scoffers will come!
TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU
The LORDS first response was a warning, for the last days would be a time of great deception with false christs, false teachers and false doctrines abounding such that even the elect would find themselves deceived if they did not take heed.
Jesus continued his answer saying For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (Matthew 24:5) There would be many who come in the name of Jesus Christ proclaiming the truth that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah of Israel, yet they would be false teachers and false prophets, who would teach and deceive many. The word for deceive is planao (plan-ah’-o) which means to go astray from the truth, to err, seduce, wander, and be out of the way. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
(2Timothy 3:13) The word used of seducers is goes (go’-ace) which means a wizard (as muttering spells), an imposter, a seducer!
These false teachers are actually speaking spells and evil enchantments with the words of their false doctrines. This is the terrible time Jesus warned us would come at the end of the age Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. (1John 3:7-8)
So what would you call seeing every event as a 'sign' the way pagans looked at eclipses or an owl landing on a fence post? What does it do to spread the faith if we appear no different than said pagans? You could replace God and Jesus and second coming with Gaia, Mother Earth, and Global Warming in some of these posts and it will sound like New Agers seeing signs of Earth punishing man. We are to be set apart from said pagans, not a mirror of them.
