Greetings in the Name of The Lord Jesus Christ! This brief letter is written to those of you who have been left behind. May I calm your great anxiety and fears with this great message of hope! God loves you and cares greatly for you. He has a great plan, purpose and future for you and your life. He wants only and always the highest and best things for you. So please give your ear and full attention to the words that follow. The days ahead will be days that will not be easy - in fact they will be quite horrendous. But be of good cheer and of good courage. Have Faith in Almighty God and His Word.
Jesus said, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but hath everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).
God so loved us that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins and mine! God has thus provided a way to restore fellowship with sinners (all humans), and to remove His righteous wrath that was upon us because of our sins and trespasses

Excellent point. Here's some scripture validating this for those who need the authority of the Word to understand.
1 Corinthians 1:12,13
Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos" or "I am of Cephas" (or I am a Catholic, or I am a Protestant, or I am a Baptist, etc.- my addition) or "I am of Christ."
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? (or were you baptized in the name of Catholicism, or any other denomination? - my addition)
There is only ONE baptism and that is unto Christ, Christ is NOT divided.
1 Corinthians 2:5
that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (emphasis mine)
1 Corinthians 2:10-16
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. (emphasis mine)
These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (emphasis mine)
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
So why is the term kingdom used?
Is the church the kingdom? Does the church determine who gets to the kingdom.
GOOD POINTS.
However . . . on the other hand with different fingers . . .
1. I don’t think I need to say anything to “make” the other side look bad . . . just articulating vividly how bad they insist on being in their blasphemous assertions is quite adequate.
2. Sounds like you have an assumption that the ETS wish to be 100% hidden. IF they wished to to so, they could. There’s a more complex game going on.
3. Of course satan is involved with the fallen angels! LOL.
4. Of course they want to convince the planet that we are all just biological entities . . . though they do say we are soul containers, too. They also claim the capacity to extract souls and even house them in technologies for a time.
5. Doesn’t matter if they are fallen angels or citizens of distant planets . . . they are in cahoots with satan to establish the Biblically predicted END TIMES GLOBAL GOVERNMENT. That’s all I need to know about their allegiances, motives and character.
It's kind of sad that no one in the REPLACEMENTARIAN et al camp seems to learn anything regarding the complex convoluted and deceptive field. On the other hand, it makes their wild haired nonsense on the topic fairly predictable.
1. Clearly REPLACEMENTARIANS et al are as woefully ignorant of demonology as they are of ET's and Biblical END TIMES prophecies.
2. Evidently they are even unaware of the common poltergeist phenomena wherein demonic forces routinely influence tangible objects in houses . . . moving beds and chairs across rooms; causing lights to swing and go on and off; causing objects to fall off shelves; etc. etc. etc. Seems to me I've known a number of Jr High kids that knew more accurate stuff about demonology than most of this crop of REPLACEMENTARIANS et al know.
3. While some Christian researchers are convinced that 100% of all UFO craft are "merely" materializations of demonic spiritual beings from a spiritual dimension, I do not.
4. The craft my relative worked around and which we built under ET directions were tangible craft that were engineered and manufactured.
5. It MAY be true that SOME manifestations of UFO craft are demonic materializations. Some craft divide and combine and change shape in ways that a spirit being would be an easier explanation for than a technology--however--we don't know everything there is to know about such technologies so we could be wrong, even on that score.
6. It DOES NOT MATTER if the ET's are fallen angels as the best research indicates they are . . . or if they are citizen pilots from distant star systems etc. etc. as they are pretending to be . . . or some combination. IT IS SUFFICIENT TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE IN CAHOOTS WITH SATAN, SETTING UP THE SATANIC GLOBAL END TIMES GOVERNMENT PREDICTED IN THE BIBLE.
7. WITH OTHUGA so very far down the road in his destruction of the USA toward making that goal easier . . . one would think that EVEN SOME REPLACEMENTARIANS et al hereon would have awakened to smell the brimstone from hell permeating his clothing and his satanic joker grin.
8. When this hits the nightly news, it's going to be interesting to read what REPLACEMENTARIANS et al's rationalizations and excuses will be then. What kind of convoluted Alice's rabbit hole irrationalities will they offer as explanations then?
9. Oh, maybe they'll claim that Alice traveled back in time to AD 70 and magically made all the END TIMES PROPHECIES happen then IN SECRET and in a SPIRITUAL SENSE in a secret basement somewhere.
10. Sigh. ignorance and idiocy with willfull blindness gone to seed . . . not a pretty sight.
I see you being mocked by others all the time. It was just a general observation.
2. Sounds like you have an assumption that the ETS wish to be 100% hidden. IF they wished to to so, they could. Theres a more complex game going on.
The fact that there have been credible people that have made claims of seeing something leads me to believe whatever it is wants to be seen. I really doubt any creatures that could travel across the universe would have to keep themselves hidden. They could easily dominate us if they choose. So why always appear on the fringe, in out of the way places.
tHANKS.
SORRY, NAP TIME.
LATER.
I believe the church, in each case, and as a whole, had nothing to do with it. I think the "fix" was ordained when God went "open source" starting with Gutenberg.
Since then, no one has been able to claim the authority of God, and the so called "heretic" is able to survive. The wheat survives among the tares, as it were.
Thank you for your reply.
Great point.
Once Scripture was available to all it was easy to see the most gross errors.
Since then, no one has been able to claim the authority of God, and the so called "heretic" is able to survive.
We still see some churches that attempt to make that claim. They just don't have the power to enforce their will.
Thank you for those excellent supporting Scriptures.
It is the kingdom into which Christ calls His people and where He has established His ecclesiastical authority for the sanctification of His people (Eph. 4:11-13).
With all the blasphemers in your midst, it's amazing that you can remain so pure.
Water off a duck.
LOL.
BTW,
How else would you label calling God a liar about His Everlasting Promises?
Oh, Quix. You are so confused. Weve been over this before. Dont you remember? It is the height of arrogance to confuse your interpretation of Gods promises with Gods promises as they are actually recorded in the Bible. No one is obligated you agree with you on what the Bible says based on your demonstrated lack of ability in this area.
God is not a liar. You are simply confused.
But you don't seem to believe there are any real tares among the wheat. Anyone with a Bible is his hand is as credible as anyone else. No?
So I take it you're not a Calvinist now. Correct?
It is when those in power through history, using that power to label dissenters heretic, and promote a single powerful voice in the Name of God, regardless of it's truth... That is the serious problem. That is the whore of Babylon.
(((sputter)))
How can you put forth as a negative "a powerful voice in the name of God regardless of the truth"?
What if that "powerful voice" IS speaking the truth? THAT voice is "a serious problem?" THAT voice is the "whore of Babylon?"
I think you really under-estimate how much you are deconstructing true Christianity, and at the same time letting real wolves, like the papacy, off the hook.
You play right into Rome's hand when you say there is no church but the church of me and maybe thee.
Oh, Quix. Don’t you know that writing in hyper-spiritualized hypertext will not make your case. You need to actually say something that matters. That comes from the Bible. Not an overly excited keyboard. Dazzling colors and centered text alignment in big font is no substitute for actually quoting and interpreting God’s Word.
How long will you persist in trivializing God’s Word?
CLEVER DODGE
YET AGAIN.
NICE AVOIDANCE of the issue for the UMPTEENTH TIME.
God is not amused.
