[Alex Murphy]

And Jesus answering saith unto them, "Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall watch the mountain groweth before him until it fills the whole earth, even unto crushing all the saints beneath it, yet yeah verily ye will declareth victory over whatsoever ye saith until death.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and keep ye deluding yourselves until that day when I will return unto you and finally accomplish Myself what ye could not do in My Name." -- Mark 11:22-24, Pretrib Dispensational Version

[Dr. Eckleburg]

LOL. Precisely so.

"...he shall watch the mountain groweth before him until it fills the whole earth, even unto crushing all the saints beneath it...and keep ye deluding yourselves until that day when I will return unto you and finally accomplish Myself what ye could not do in My Name"

What better way to neuter the word of God and dull the sharp edge of the Gospel than to admit defeat before the battle?

"Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before..."
