Be convinced of these 4 biblical truths: 1. Each of us has sinned; 2. God is just, requiring a punishment for sin; 3. But out of love God sent His Son, Jesus Christ who by dying on the cross, provided forgiveness of sins in taking man’s deserved punishment; 4. Therefore, by faith alone in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and belief in His resurrection, man can gain eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 3:21-26)
The rapture folks here believe in the Trinity, unlike you who claim that “the Trinity is a Catholic invention”.
rapturists claim that the “generation” of which Jesus was speaking is not the one that heard Him say these words. Jesus gave various signs to warn His followers of a tribulation about to break over them. Rapturists say that the generation Jesus refers to is the one that first sees the signs Jesus has described.
Jesus tells His disciples that it does get much worse. Up until now, the signs have been rather general and impersonal, but now the tone changes: “They will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake” (Matt. 24:9).
persecution came early, very early, in the Church’s life. The Sanhedrin persecuted Christians in Jerusalem and used the synagogues as a base for persecution elsewhere in the empire. But the persecution of sign 5 would come not only from the Jewish leaders in the synagogues. Jesus tells His followers, “You will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.”
The ancient Roman historian Tacitus has documented Nero’s persecution. Christians became hunted creatures in the empire. Many met their death in the Coliseum in Rome as the audiences cheered and jeered. Some were strapped to stakes in Nero’s gardens and burned alive as human torches (AIR, XV, 44). St. Peter and St. Paul seem to have been martyred in Rome during this time. In Jerusalem, Bishop James, the cousin of Jesus and the author of the New Testament book that bears his name, was martyred.
Folks like you, sitting safe in the USA have no concept of the persecution that Christians in other parts of the world face.
Let’s take the hidden Christian converts in Saudi Arabia.
They face horrendous death by family members. You really think they aren’t facing horrific persecution and you will be whisked away?
That reminds me of the oath I took when I became a Mason...
Did you torture millions and millions of Protestants and come up with a theory to divert suspicion that you (masons) were the Antichrist power?
I think the reason there are so many denominations is because we ‘christians’ are very much like the ...

But you DO 'follow' the blessed mother and are eagerly awaiting yet another word from that apparition.
Their bottom line:
We’re saved by grace, but kept by works.
Whatever they ‘built’, their bones have sure evaporated into thin air!
That’s a matter of opinion bro. I believe the Nephilim were fathered by fallen angels. If you don’t, that’s fine. We will have to agree to disagree on that. I believe the bodies of dead Nephilim, are strewn across the landscape of the world.
I saw two, with my own eye balls. The sleeping lady in west Texas, and the one I got within maybe, a couple hundred yards of, the old man of the mountains, in New Hampshire. I saw it up close, before an earthquake destroyed it. If you think differently, so be it, but that’s what I think.
The SDA also had a problem when their denomination exceeded 144,000 members so they converted 144,000 from literal to symbolic.
True. And then their belief that Jesus returned in 1844
Interesting, because the SDA church wasn’t formed in 1863.
Happy Easter everyone. He is Risen and our salvation is sure
Amen mom, and, amen.
make that...the SDA church wasn’t formed UNTIL 1863
I hope you listen instead of mocking the Eucharist (Your comment: Thomas; don’t doubt.Lick your fingers.)
Third Message June 23, 1962
“The Virgin has told us:
The world continues the same...That it has not changed at all. FEW WILL SEE GOD. They are so few that it causes The Virgin much Sorrow.
Our Lady’s Message of June 18, 1965
Since my Message of October 18, 1961 has not been complied with and has not been made much known to the world, I will tell you that this is the last one. Before the chalice was filling now it is overflowing. MANY CARDINALS, MANY BISHOPS, AND MANY PRIESTS ARE ON THE PATH OF PERDITION AND THEY TAKE MANY SOULS WITH THEM. TO THE EUCHARIST, THERE IS GIVEN LESS AND LESS IMPORTANCE. We should avoid the Wrath of God on us by our good efforts. If you ask pardon with your sincere soul God will pardon you. It is I, Your Mother, who through the intercession of St. Michael, wish to say that you amend, that you are already in the last warnings and that I love you much and do not want your condemnation. Ask us sincerely and we will give to you. You should sacrifice more. Think of the Passion of Jesus.

I will listen to Jesus Christ and Scripture not demonic apparitions. You do as you like
That video is so freaky! So good but so freaky.
It does make you wonder. Take the bit in Genesis and then take the lay of the land as Israel prepared to enter it, the Book of Enoch, Goliath, and some other things I’m probably forgetting at the moment, and it paints a picture of some rather large and cruel “people.”
Oh, yeah. God telling Israel to wipe them clean out.
No matter how bad my day may be going, I can always be happy that I’m not having to look at one of those things ... in whatever form they presented.
Freaky.
The Adventist group is an offshoot of Millerism.
So it is Ok to mock Christ and the Eucharist.
You associate the Blessed Mother of God and St Michael with demons. You probably don’t understand the the spiritual weapon of the Rosary to defeat demons. Perhaps you should read about Lepanto. https://blogs.stthom.edu/cameron/former-swiss-guard-my-most-powerful-weapon/
You claim that you listen to Jesus Christ ans Scripture, but do you truly understand the parables of sowers and the seeds.
God spreads the seeds (His Word) on paths, rocky ground, among thorns and on rich soil. God spreads His word for all to accept, but some with hardened hearts, on no deep roots or surrounded by weeds (sin and worldly ways) do not accept God’s Words and His graces. It is from the rich soil that His word grows and multiplies to others. So the Blessed Mother’s words should have respect and demonized. You do not have to believe her, yet she has warned you. “Few will see God.”
So do you truly accept and understand the Words of God or just the man-made beliefs that you have been given?
True. And then their belief that Jesus returned in 1844
They were Millerite Adventists in 1844, not SDA’s. Lots of people from many denominations were at that time.
