I agree - so many are so hung up on Mormonism as being the greatest threat the world has seen that they lose sight of reality. I'd wager that when the prophesy fulfills, Mormonism will not be the one world religion that requires the mark of the beast of death - I wonder what religion is out there that might fill this bill...
Islam
#1...Multi-tasking is allowed in this life...You can take on both Islam and Mormonism...(that's allowed)
#2...only a fool thinks the "brush fire" here on earth is the three-alarm, city-wide meltdown that hell represents.
#3...I would have thought, Trebb, that we take our cultural cue from a certain "Lord" named Jesus Christ? Who are we to follow when it comes to setting cultural priorities? Jesus and the apostle Paul? or Huddles Masses?
Here's Jesus:
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Luke 12:4-5)
So does Jesus say, "fear the one-world dominant Muslims?" (No)
Instead, does He say to exercise fear of the One who has authority to cast somebody into hell? (Yes)
So, indeed, our "fear" is on behalf of those who are placing their eternal spiritual lives at risk.
As the apostle Paul was leaving the church of Ephesus, he warned them with this high-priority alert:
"I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears." (Acts 20:29-31)
Paul's cultural priority? (Defend against the false disciples who will proselytize the flock and draw away men unto themselves!)
Tell me something, Trebb: If you did something tearfully night and day for three years, do you think it's rather important? So what? We're just to conclude, "Oh, the man who contributed a good chunk to the New Testament -- what does he know about cultural priorities?"
I'll take Paul's and Jesus' already-revealed priorities to your guesswork...
I have no idea what you think you are agreeing with.
HMMmm...
This sounds kind of...
uh...
hateful.
I hope I'm wrong.
