GW..
I welcome you and your views to my thread...
"Mark of the Beast". You have been strangely absent from this end of times thread. Come over and explain Revelations. It is all history from your view point...so what is the problem?
But this morning, I am having trouble speaking to you in a Christian manner.If you could see me at my keyboard right now...I would probably frighten you. I am banging away with righteous anger at your last post on this thread. How dare you blame the word of God for the actions of ignorant people!!!!!!!
I have to ask: Do you know the history of end times in the Church? It has been a disaster. End times movements in Church history have produced the following fruit:
* Endless false testimony from the Church about world events, movements, governments, and leaders
* Wars (from the Munster revolt to Hitler)
* Mass suicides (Jonestown; 20-30,000 Russian Orthodox Church members--"the Old Believers"--burned themselves to death while under impression the endtimes had come)
* Heresies (JWs, 7th Day Adventists, Mormons are all endtimes movements that were birthed out of mainstream endtimes hysterias started by legitimate Protestant denominations in the early and mid 1800s!) Why do you suppose they call themselves the "Latter Day Saints"?
* Waco/Hal Lindsey's 1980s error/Heaven's Gate
...and much much more.
Your comments are no better than the anti-religious people who blame the World troubles in general, and this war in specifically on God. They proclaim that the belief in God has brought nothing but misery upon us all!
Now here you go stating that...The beautiful promises of Christ are at fault. Truth will set you free! All eyes will know when Jesus truly returns! We will not need people such as you to tell us that he came!!! It is the falsifying of God and his word that is the danger to our society!!!!!
Why do you not understand that we are not buying your FALSE TEACHINGS?!!
May the Lord have mercy upon you. I would not want to be in your shoes when he appears. You have not only denied his promise in your own mind...but have made a concentrated effort to impose your cult beliefs on others!
I pray that the wisdom of the Spirit will enter your soul.
Turn away from your denial. It is born of fear.
Romans 8: 15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.

Christ will return and there will be no doubt!!
REVELATIONS1:7 Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him.
So shall it be! Amen.
8"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
I pray that the Spirit guides you to the truth and you will be prepared. Keep your lamp filled with oil!
He who has ears ....Let him hear!
Luke 21:28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
Your Friend in Christ
