WHY MOST CHRISTIAN CHURCHES REFUSE TO PREACH THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST
Now The End Begins ^ | October 8, 2017 | Geoffrey Grider

Posted on 10/08/2017 12:28:07 PM PDT by SVTCobra03

In America today, there are roughly 300,000 churches claiming to represent Jesus Christ, that’s an average of 6,000 churches per state. That’s a lot of churches. So why are so many professing Christians ignorant about the main theme of the Bible? Because there is not one in a thousand that preaches Bible doctrine, and not one in ten thousand that believes the book of Revelation is a road map of the future.

It's just too bad about all them thar Spaniards, and Frenchies, and Germans, and Chinese and Swedes and South Sea Islanders... that do NOT have the Only Real, Good, Accurate, Authentic and Authorized Translations to read and learn from!

Sure they do...The KJV has been translated into all those languages...

Another one proving my point. People who follow these false end times theologies are sympathetic to globalism. “God is the Utimate Globalist.”
LOL.

That's true...But there is a difference and apparently you don't know the difference...

The global kingdom we are waiting for will have the Lord of Lord and King of Kings as our leader...The global kingdom we are rejecting and fighting against would have George Soros or Obama as its king...

God will destroy them and their kingdom...

You're wasting your time, Iscool. These "palaeos" are not just opposed to "bad globalism" . . . they're opposed to the very idea of a single human race. To them this idea is the very essence of "Communism." That's why they want a return to a pagan "planet of peoples" where each nation lives in its own "holy land" and is the "chosen people" of its own "gxd." In this worldview there is no one objective universal religious truth whatsoever, but only various and sundry "national" ones that are each "valid" for its own people--a form of extreme relativism. This is the real reason "palaeos" hate the Jews. Lenny Bruce is just icing on the cake. I've known this for a long time, though I seldom see anyone come out and admit it so nakedly.

"Palaeos" are also evolutionists, because the idea of the entire human race being descended from Adam and Eve offends their so-called "conservatism."

Unfortunately, "our side" is littered with these people because of their social conservatism. This is what happens when conservatism takes its eyes of G-d and makes other issues a rallying point.

Proto-Nazi Dietrich Eckart (yimach shemo vezikhro!) actually wrote a pamphlet entitled "Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin" that described the Israelites' escape from Egypt as the "first Communist revolution."

I had a fella trying to convince me of the purity of the KJV over the NIV once.
He pointed out that the NIV couldn't even get the seventh word right!!
 

Genesis 1:1   (KJV)

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:1  (NIV)

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

 

"Oh?", I replied?  "At least the NIV just used ONE word to translation the Hebrew word for HEAVENS; whereas the KJV used two different ones."

 

Genesis 2:1  (KJV)

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

Genesis 2:1   (NIV)

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

shamayim
shaw-mah'-yim

dual of an unused singular shameh {shaw-meh'}; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve):--air, X astrologer, heaven(-s).

Strong's Concordance
shamayim: heaven, sky

Original Word: שָׁמַ֫יִם
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: shamayim
Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-mah'-yim)

"HMMMmmm...", he said.
 
Then I pointed out how the Hebrew text; from which the English translation was derived; had the SAME word in 1:1 AND 2:1 and asked him, "Why did the KJV translate it DIFFERENTLY?"

But they have no trouble with OMuamuga and his 'wife' Muggy-gomma...

LCMS churches too. We confess our faith in the Apostles or Nicene Creed every week, both of which include Jesus’ return.

I wonder how much of this is angst over the last end of world prediction failing two weeks ago.

You’re infested with lying demons.

You willingly embrace the inherited lies that Jeremiah warned of.

DUDE! That is WAY over the line!

Amos (so called minor prophet) prophecy fulfilled!!!! Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

23 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

RECOGNIZE YOURSELF IN THESE VERSES????

No, your phony self righteousness won't let you, will it....... son of a jackel & Jezabel!!!!!

Go, strain at your gnat, and swallow your Psychobabble camel.

Because they were smarter than the NIV translators...Do you refer to God in heavens even tho that is a correct phrase or do you refer to God in heaven, which is a correct phrase also???

But actually here's a more complete translation:

shâmayim shâmeh
shaw-mah'-yim, shaw-meh'
The second form being dual of an unused singular; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve): - air, X astrologer, heaven (-s).

Apparently the Hebrew word has two forms, The second one being shameh...And as written if the second word is used it can incorporate the part of heaven with the clouds as well as the part of heaven with the celestial bodies...It does not however mention the third part of heaven which is above the massive expanse of water that is between the 2nd and third heavens...

And what probably prompted the KJV authors to use heaven instead of heavens is that in Gen. 1:1 heaven had not been divided yet...It was just one heaven...

Those KJV translators were some smart cookies...

Please don't be an idiot!
Your wild way out in left field interpretation is totally contrary to the word.

What, you didn't realize that Israel rejected God's covenant??? And then they rejected his Messiah???

I don't. I have stated from the beginning (over eighteen years ago) that I am a Noachide.

Why do you pretend that anything other than the Decrees of G-d is the basis of all morals and ethics?
