EXCELLENT POINTS, IMHO.
THANKS.
How interesting! I’ve never heard that before.
All;
More evidence piles up as to what the oligarchy is about:

re the push for a world currency.
I feel badly for those who think they’re going to miss it by being raptured before it starts. We all need to prepare ourselves spiritually first of all and be prepared to leave all if we have to.
Everything needed for salvation can be determined by what is in the Bible.
I don't believe that God gives revelations to one person which are necessarily meant for all people. If He did, it would be saying that the Bible, and the words of Christ were somehow lacking & that He needed to add a bit here or there to fill in the message. Even if private revelation could somehow be helpful to more than that one recipient, it isn't necessary.
Since private revelation isn't necessary, and since they could be wrong, either mistakenly or purposefully, I disregard them unless they are so squarely right on (remember to pray for conversions to Christ, for example).
So, of course God speaks to people, and of course the individual should listen, but there is no obligation for anyone to believe or follow someone else's privately received prophetic messages, even if they are entirely sincere. There is salvation only in God and Jesus, not in the words or interpretations of any one man.
Thus, I'm not sure why it matters to anyone else what God has or hasn't said to an individual, since the only person bound by God's words to an individual would be that individual.
Rom 12:6 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; (NKJ)
1 Cor 12:1-12 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:
2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.
3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. (NKJ)
God gives gifts to edify His Body, does God's Body on earth need edifying? Most certainly so the gifts of God are without repentance on God's part, if man or woman misuses the gifts that God has given then they will stand one day before the throne of God and give an accounting for all to hear. And they will hear either enter in my good and faithful servant or depart from me for I have never know you. The parable of the goats and the sheep is a mighty testament of this fact of judgment. Outer darkness will be a horrifyingly place to be.
I wanted to add something else. Grace is very important in hearing the voice of God. It’s not that God’s voice is audible.Like with Adam,Abraham and Moses. The way we are able to receive has alot to do with the state of life we are in. The more we are able to receive the more we are given. Your walk with God is a “your walk”. Its no one elses. God is the one who created us. He knows our talents and gifts. If we desire to have a relationship with Him, He will be in our lives and He will lead us. Sometimes in a whisper, often times in reading scripture, in receiving the sacraments if you are Catholic, through others. We are the ones who need to pray for an increase of grace, an increase in faith so that we can see Him in our lives.

INDEED! I quite agree. And responsiveness puts legs to such prayers. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
Amen...Amen... Amen ! ! !
I'll take the medium frequency ABBREVIATED LIST for $100, Alex, er, I mean, Quix!
Thanks.
Do you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has the power to create and save your soul for all eternity?
THANKS THANKS.
You are now on the original least often AND the
medium frequency
ABBREVIATED END TIMES PING LIST.
BLESSINGS,
BTW, ALL, One person has requested to not be pinged when I use LARGE FONT sizes in pings. If that is your sensibility, please let me know and I’ll pull your name out of the original least frequent list and put it at the bottom of my word file with that note attached—then leave you off those pings when I feel compelled to use large fonts.
Mary, Joya; I’ll send you an updated text file by FREEPMAIL within 24 hours or so. THANKS THANKS.
THANKS THANKS.
Having said that, permit me to suggest, or perhaps merely to hint, that you may have a calling to minister this wisdom to others, perhaps beyond FR, if you are not doing so in some fashion already (which I doubt). That is another way of saying that believers need to hear what you know.

I MUCH AGREE, prayerfullywaiting!
post precisely, and you won’t need to retroactively explain what you meant ;-)
1. One of my bosses at an internship at a VA hospital asserted that I was one of the most precise writers he knew of.
2. Most folks on my ping lists—END TIMES AND UFO ping lists seem to think I’m plenty precise for THEIR comprehension.
3. My, oh, my . . . what could the matter be????!
LOL.
The humor breaks on these threads are hilarious.
You have left out an option.
Perhaps in God's immutable nature, His eternal existence, omnipotence, love, and grace, He has given free will to a class of creatures, formed in His image, whom He does not have to spend eternity in His presence, should in the exercise of their free will, they refuse to accept His Providence for their eternal life.
In such a magnificent plan, not only does He provide for all Creation, He is also perfectly Just and Righteous, full of grace, displaying to all of Creation why He has condemned those who fell from having eternal fellowship with Him in His Perfect Holiness.
His Creation includes the angelic domain as well as man, but in His perfect Plan, He has made man but a while a little lower than the angels, but has now given the scrolls to the one He has appointed to judge all of Creation, God the Son, God incarnate, who has now ascended, seated as a human at His right side, as God the Son, awaiting for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet.
