Yeah, aging is such a fun filled experience sometimes. 8>)
The good thing though is that I can watch a movie, then like 6 weeks later watch it again and not know how it ends 😆
And I want to say this, not to point a finger at anybody,
I want to issue a warning.
Pornography is evil. If you are addicted to porn, or even watch it, you will not like what happens after death.
We will be held accountable for all our transgressions.
(I am not a saint, I just want ppl to know how deadly porn is to our eternal souls)
The “tendivisions” you speak of I recognize as the ten horns being synonomous with the ten toes, but the reference to today is the club of rome? Correct?
LOL 8>)
Thanks for posting!
Amen!
The only message that rattles around inside my skull now is that of Jonah to Nineveh, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" Now do I believe we only have 40 days left? No, but the nation on a whole has but a short time left.
I am of the personal belief that unless a Heaven revival is sent our way, not the revival that the "blab and grab it" are encouraging, but a sin, heaven & hell, repent type of revival, the USA will ceased to exist, period.
Mark my words.....
Every single one of us will be held accountable for our transgressions.
Pretty scary thought.
Jesus still forgives everybody who will come to Him.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 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.
I think God has pretty much given up on the nation.
Individuals are a different matter. We’re in for some major suffering.
God will still call on individuals who will hear, the fence-sitters per se.
Thanks for sharing!

I would guess you are correct.
Are you saying I can sin all I want because I will be saved?
Just because I believe?
“that you’re so swell that you’ll be spared the coming chastisements,”
It is not because we are swell, it is called grace and with that being said my Bible teaches me not to worry about tomorrow because today has enough problems, Matt 6:34.
From my seat I’m a pre-trib guy, but if that turns out to be in error then the GOD of grace will get me to the next step.
No, we don’t have a Sin Card we can charge on, but belief is the requirement for Salvation.
But every saint is a sinner - daily, probably hourly. Try going one hour without sinning, bet you can’t - I know you can’t. And if you’re truly honest, you’d agree with me.
We are hopeless in this fleshy state, it’s why Christ died the most horrible death on a cross for us.
I like how 1 John 1:5-10 summarizes it, with balance:
5 And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
There’s a group of Christians out there that say that if you die with one unconfessed sin then you will go to hell. That teaching is nowhere to be found in the Bible. Your post in a way suggested that one particular sin is damnable - well sure, they all are if we refuse to believe who Jesus is and “turn to Him” continually, daily - carrying our cross. But sanctification is a lifelong process for the repentant (Changing of One’s Mind about Who Christ is) and sorrowful person.
The Prodigal Son, with all of his whore-mongering, never stopped being a “son” to his father. That parable is in essence the story of salvation for each of us.
Jesus was asked in John 6:28 “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
Here was the perfect opportunity to lay out the laws, commandments, rules, etc. of what us poor mortals must follow to the letter for salvation. His answer?
“The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”
Salvation is a done deal based on that. Those are the words of the Creator of the Universe. He holds the keys to death and hades (Revelation 1:18).
We can also reference Romans 10:9-13 and Acts 16:31 and 1 John 4:15 and Romans 4:5 and Ephesians 3:12 and many more.
FWIW, I confess my sins daily. All Christians should.
There is no such thing as a ‘sinless life’ for us until we go home to glory.
The porn addict, the alcoholic, the habitual drug user, the homosexual, the violently angry, and everybody else that is awful beyond words has the same opportunity to come to Christ, believe in Him, call out to Him for forgiveness and be forgiven.
Lamentations 3:22-24
22 Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed,
for His mercies never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness!
24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in Him.”

I’ll be honest, it’s becoming hard for me to drum up any sympathy for many of those who will be lrft behind to endure the tribulation. God forgive me for that.
I’m with you brother.
I’ll probably take it a step further and state that it is squarely on their shoulders that they endure the Tribulation. They’ll learn eventually at a very very high price. Most of them are high-rated scoffers currently anyways.
Are you saying I can sin all I want because I will be saved?
Just because I believe?
The question is: How do you show your love for Christ in return for his death on the cross and opportunity of salvation?
John 14:15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Saying you love Christ means obeying him.
Commandment keepers will be in heaven. Commandment breakers will not.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the Saints: Here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
And to RWC and all of his law breaking buddies, that includes the 4th commandment....the 7th day Sabbath.
Keeping the commandments is not optional if you say you love Christ and will follow him anywhere.
