Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
They are pretty rare, but posters do come along every now and then who either claim to be one of the Two Witnesses or some other form of prophet.
...but posters do come along every now and then who either claim to be one of the Two Witnesses ....
Wow! Those types of people need to reigned in immediatly. There could be sensitive minds here who might get shocked! We need thought police to inspect all our posts before letting others see them. Just reporting them ourselves to the authorities takes too long to get them kicked off. No, i take this all back. I actually believe in full free speech. What do you think?
But I'm not seeing anything that is really all that testable other than the Christian Millenium in 2041 or Judgement Day in 3000. Both dates are too far into the future (and I'll be dead before one of them). Will the 2020 date contain an event that will verify or nullify the truthfulness of your chart?
If they need to "claim to be one of the Two Witnesses" they aren't. You will know them by what they teach. Most people will hate them and want them dead. They will say all kinds of hateful things about them calling them false prophets. The witnesses will likely be banned from forums.
Right, which is why I didn't think anybody was referring to you.i kinda don't thing that there are any other signs or verifications besides Jesus returning after "three days and three nights." I don't expect any signs, proofs or verifications.
I would have to disagree with you here. Someone who predicts false dates is indeed a false prophet. As is someone who falsely teaches the word of the Lord.
By that definition, everyone who has ever misunderstood a passage and told a friend the wrong interpretation is a false prophet. In other words, we are all false prophets...[by your definition]
The pattern goes according to the Bible as follows: First Satan is bould up for a thousand years and Jesus returns to gathers up his children into heaven (Second Coming). After the Thousand years expires, Satan is released to deceive the nations. Then the Battle of Armegeddon where Satan is finally cast into the lake of fire and destroyed. Then comes Judgment day! Where all will have to answer for their works.
Yes, we should watch our words:
Matthew 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Okay look,
I am new, but I have NEVER seen so much combativeness and hatred on a forum than I have on THIS one. Whether you are Pre-Trib, Post-Trib, or what have you.. Can't we all just agree that Christ is our Savior, and that regardless of our opinions of one another, we respect each other and love one another like Jesus himself told us to do?? I have seen people been called "losers" and ridiculed for believing what they believe, and it makes me so sad to see that... Especially on a Christian forum.
We all have our own opinions, and sometimes we don't believe or accept another Christian brother or sisters' heart felt belief.. And that's okay! Sometimes we just don't understand one another. And that's okay! That doesn't mean we should mock them, or make fun of them.
I understand today is March 22nd, and yeah, nothing has happened. So what. Does it make you a better person for pointing that out? No. Jesus would have wanted us to love and support one another regardless of the outcome of the "prophesy". Have you thought for one minute that maybe, just maybe... Someone who believed that they were to be raptured TODAY were completely heartbroken at the fact that they got it wrong? Should you rejoice in the fact that they were wrong? Or laugh at them? No.
I just don't understand the animosity between people that are the brothers and sisters of Christ Jesus.
If anyone could explain to me the reason why eschatology and end times studies has everyone's "panties in a wad" please do so. Regardless of our opinions, we are all going to the same place...
I am fascinated with eschatology and love to read all of your wise words. I have never seen so much KNOWLEDGE of scripture!!! Some of you are so very blessed with wisdom and I can only hope and pray to one day be as knowledgeable as you are.
I just wanted to give my perspective on things, because I have been praying about this... and I'm not going to lie... This forum has made me kind of sad to be quite honest.
God bless you all,
Joy
Pretty hard to get tone and inflection from the printed page. In a current society, just telling someone their wrong is offensive.
I don't it's as mean and nasty around here as perceived. I think people infer attitude into a post.
To keep that down...in my post I don't use the emoticons a lot.
Christians can be firm and hold to their view...but it's on them to not be offended because another saint doesn't agree.
Disagreement isn't offensive.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
