Have been a poor speller all my life.
Once in college yet . . . I got 100% on weekly spelling tests. Studied hard for the final and flunked the final.
Prof was incredulous.
When Paul and Silas were asked by the jailor “what must I do to be saved” did they leave off some things? Did they forget to tell him that they needed to belong to a specific legally organized church? Did they forget to tell him that he needed to learn the Catholic church catechism?
“Thanks for being wrong again . . .”
It would be better for the world if I were wrong. Unfortunately, I know end-times psychology and the manipulators that try to share it with the world for their own egotistical reasons.
The worst evil is most difficult to distinguish from the good - that’s what makes it so, well, evil. It seduces those who sincerely wish to do good, but lack the ability to discern the subtleties of evil.
You should start over, yet again. If you can’t do that then please refrain from ensnaring the unaware into your way of thinking. If you can’t fix yourself, please don’t damage others - they don’t deserve it. They may have something to live for, even if you do not. It may be your last opportunity to do something good.
The Lord will continue to confirm
HIS PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES in HIS ways and HIS TIME.
“Once in college yet . . . I got 100% on weekly spelling tests. Studied hard for the final and flunked the final.

I’m more incredulous that you had spelling tests in college.
You should see the spelling of a huge percentage of my college students.
No concept of different there, their, they’re
and several other very simple common words are chronically misspelled without the least bit of embarrassment.
I don’t think texting is helping.
“HIS PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES in HIS ways and HIS TIME.”
No doubt. But there is always someone who “talks to God” in an end-timers life. Maybe it’s a dream interpreter, or maybe it’s a pastor who claims this gift - but there is always someone. Maybe it’s even you.
That is why you should take the words quoted at the top line here, and simply live your life - not as if the end times are upon us, but as if you have the ability to truly impact peoples lives and the world with good. It requires resisting the temptation to become the focus of the naive and innocents religious awakening - unfortunately too many end-timers are unable to resist this delusion of grandeur - after all if someone else believes it other than you, it must be true.
“No concept of different there, their, they’re”
My father was a poor speller, but he always kept a dictionary handy so nobody could tell.
It’s easier than ever with a computer. I can’t tell you how many times I reference “dictionary.com” in a week.
| 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized |
Only wicked people tell us to watch and know the signs?
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
1 Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
THE WORD OF GOD trumps all idiocies every time.

It’s well done, imho. I think he’s mostly quite correct.
Good interpretations, explanations . . .
Good insights.
Embrace your Heretical Heritage Quix! It fits you like leather bondage gear!
Have you noticed how angry these cheerleaders for the other team seem to be? Like crabs in a reeking, noisome basket, whose sole mission is to pull back any of their kin who might be escaping into the liberty, the joy, the valor, of gladly serving the reigning and conquering King!
Well, the ten faithless spies may have contaminated MOST of Israel with their doomsaying denial of God's good purposes. The ten unbelieving spies may have led an entire generation to wander around pointlessly in the desert, waiting to die -- but two lively crabs escaped.
I'd rather be numbered with Caleb and Joshua than with the nattering nabobs of negativity!
| 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
| 16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name. |
| 1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. |
| 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God |
| 13 For we were all baptized by[a] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. |
| 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ |
| to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, |
| 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[a] was put off when you were circumcised by[b] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. |
| 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, |
| 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, |
This end-times nonsense is the fallback position of a lifetime of failure - sometimes associated with mental illness.
There is much more to life than the apocalypse. If you can’t find it, I am truly sad for you.
INDEED.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
STOP ALREADY
