You can lead a heart to Jesus but you can’t it believe. It still surprises me how people can’t grasp the idea that love thy neighbor will make the world a better place.
There has to be an Israel for the End Times.
And we are definitely seeing a lot of false theology being advanced. And a lot of rejecting sound doctrine and a general falling away from Christ....open rejecting and mocking.
IMHO this is going to accelerate.
The chaff is being separated from the wheat.
We need to be prepared as no one knows the day or hour.
Being prepared is trusting in Christ, and only Christ, for your salvation.
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for the privilege of being called your children and for the hope we have in Christ's return. Help us to remain vigilant in our faith, constantly aware of the spiritual battles we face. Grant us a hunger and thirst for your Word, that we may study it diligently and apply its teachings to our lives. Empower us to live faithfully, reflecting your love and grace to those around us. May our prayers be a constant connection with you, seeking your guidance and surrendering our hearts to your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
I understand there will be a “red heifer” sacrifice at the Mount of Olives this September with an ceremony at The Dome of the Rock (which the Muslims will not allow). We live in interesting times.
Sure. Mocking a doctrine invented in the 19th century is forcing Gods hand
If they didn’t have a red heiffer to sacrifice, could they just pass out Red Bull, drink it, and call it a day? Would probably be ok with the Muslims?
This is what I've been telling people. As hopeful as one may be about any future revivals, all I see is nations, congregations and churches where people need to be yelling "Ichabod, the glory has departed" As David Wilkerson once did during a supposed "Christian" concert many years back.
They already have it.
Ichabod,
.
Interesting.
Please, not the Darby garbage again. Go study what Darby was saying way before McDonald. Then go look at what Margaret McDonald actually believed and said. Stop relying on other peoples bs and look at what those people believed.
Exactly!
This doctrine didn’t pop up until dispensalationism was popular in the 1800s.
It’s not real and it’s delusional that you think you’ll get the crown without the cross.
The rapture is a fake novelty.
That is to presuppose that the "Rapture-at-any-moment" Dispensationalism is "sound doctrine" that all Christians ascribe to.
Just FYI for those who are unfamiliar with the above Dispensationalist (earthly millennium, rapture-at-any-moment) interpretation of Scripture regarding the End Times presented here: the majority of Christians today (and who have ever lived, for that matter) do not ascribe to it. It was not developed until the early 19th century. It originated in England but is mostly held by many (not all) American evangelicals.
I'm not saying there is no truth in it or that nobody should consider it, only that it is important to know that this is not the only interpretation or position. As the majority of Christians in the world are either Catholic, Orthodox and other Eastern Churches who do not ascribe to modern Dispensationalism vastly outnumber the American influenced Evangelical Protestants and Protestant Fundamentalists that are the ones who primarily embrace modern Dispensationalism, it is important to point out that it doesn't represent the views of most Christians.

They believe in a false replacement theology that steals from Israel.
They believe various things; for example, that the Church does not replace Israel, but that it is a fulfillment and continuation of it.
“Red Bull” the energy drink.
“Red Bull” the energy drink.
That is simply a way to say the church replaces Israel.
“You can lead a heart to Jesus but you can’t it believe. It still surprises me how people can’t grasp the idea that love thy neighbor will make the world a better place.”
Neighbors aren’t what they used to be in the good ole days. I personally know two people in two different cities that have nightmarish neighbors that seem to be straight from Hell. I lucked out and have good, Christian neighbors. But not everyone is as fortunate. I just don’t believe that God will harshly judge those people I know for not loving their demonic neighbors.
My take, which could be wrong and I could end up ultimately paying for, is....
you can pray for your enemies and for your evil neighbors, but you don’t have to ‘love’ them. I will never love evil people. Just not gonna happen.
