I don’t know that I always place great trust that a latent ability in females to recognize evil is all that extant among them. I will cite Zechariah 5:5-11 though in my belief that Godly women may be better equipped to deal with spiritual attacks of the feminine type, or those that undermine the family,tempt folks to adultery and fornication, encourage abortion, ect.
The last verse, verse 11 has the woman in a basket(”or wickedness”) carted off by angels with women’s faces to be set on a base and established there in the land Shinar...or BABYLON!(can one hear the pre echoes....? Mystery Babylon the mother of harlots)
If a person is serving God, he must recognize that money is "a trifle" as Luke 16:10 says. Other Scriptures recognize prudence in using money for the good of others, but none commends love of Mammon.
There's not a born again Christian in the entire chapter so it obviously can not doctrinally apply to a Christian...Spiritually absolutely...Good preachin' too...
Christians have been judged already and found to be just...
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
When Jesus comes in his glory...When is that??? It's at the end of the Great Tribulation...And he sits on the throne of his glory...And where's that throne??? It's in Jerusalem...
Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
This is a physical kingdom...It a piece of land...Has nothing to do with the church...This is God's fulfillment of his promise to Israel...Just prior to this event, the church has returned to Earth with her new husband Jesus Christ and watch while Jesus wipes out his enemies on the Earth...
There is a lot more to this but no point in going into it since it won't be believed anyway...
If He meant something else, He'd have said something else.
**This is a physical kingdom...It a piece of land.**
But we are in a rehearsal for a ‘spiritual kingdom,” which is much more important that a physical kingdom.
“That’s when you church can start a Drugs Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous to allow them help themselves when they hit bottom.”
Totally agree. The problem is not helping them when they hit bottom, it’s dealing with them on the way down when they are very dangerous to themselves and others.
It takes tough love.
2 Corinthians 11
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.
**The problem is not helping them when they hit bottom, it’s dealing with them on the way down when they are very dangerous to themselves and others.
It takes tough love.**
A lot of prayers and patience.
I helped out a severe alcoholic last month by giving her a place to stay. I missed the alcohol problem up front.
She attacked me, my wife, and tried every trick in the book to manipulate us. I told her she had one option, an inpatient detox program or out the door immediately.
She chose to live in her car.
It hurts me to see this as I feel her psychological pain in her soul.
Jesus asked people, “Do you want to be healed?” If they said no, he walked away.
Here's the last judgment:
Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
The Earth is gone...It no longer exists...
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
How could you possibly claim they are the same judgment??? They are not...After this judgment, the Jews will be back in Israel...They will have a king sitting on a throne, in Jerusalem...
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
The throne of David is a physical throne, in Jerusalem...
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
I think it's funny that you guys believe in the Eucharist which is not biblical yet will not believe in the Millennial reign of Jesus on Earth on the throne of David for a thousand years when it is completely biblical...
How did they do that to you???
Yah I know...They somehow convinced you guys that you are living in that kingdom right now...And when your pope gets that one world religion thing going (which is coming along nicely) Jesus will show up and every thing will be hunky dory...
A spiritual kingdom is more important than a physical kingdom...And you are rehearsing...
I always leave discussions about Historical Premillennialism, Dispenstional Premillennialism, Postmillennialism and Amillennialism, to my esteemed Protestant friends, who always base their ideas with great exactitude on Sola Scriptura, and always have excellent proofs for their mutually incompatible ideas.
Oh, snap.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Broad brushing all Protestants with your opinion is making it personal.
