Though many have come to devise their own forms of belief based on the Messiah Yahshua HE is without a doubt the Christ sent to Save those who believe on Him by Heavenly Father.
Glory to the Almighty GOD.
Not all that call Him Lord do the things He says and will be told to depart because of their iniquity.
The words of the Messiah show us there will be deceived people who never took the time to build their house on His Words for they give life.

I think its shows signs of intelligent design.. but I suppose given enough time, and an infinity of alternate universes, and 99.9% wishful thinking ..it could have evolved.. but i think the more likely explanation is that that zone lass (having nothing better to do than sit at the window peering out) just swiped a picture from the internet and put it there

No opinion supercedes the truth.
Belief in the truth saves.
Faith proves, reproves and corrects opinion and belief BY the truth.
This truth comes from the Word of God.
Religion does not save. Religion is an opinion.
Religion is either the beginning or end of you walk with Christ.
The truth is what we are to seek to live in or our lives will be like looking through a dirty window trying to see the outside.
So clean the window and see clearly.

why are you bringing this up?
[you see a hotlink with the word preterist in it and that's it?
of course.
i doubt you actually read the study, katy.
too much invested in what you already believe.]
Re: Is christianity the correct religion
unbeliever's question: how can i know the God of Scripture is real?
one answer: go to Daniel 11 - read it carefully and objectively:
"fulfilled to the letter.
you can prove it through a little historical research.
impossible to refute.
Glorious."
your response?
how dare i suggest such a thing.
did the person ask about a future Antichrist or tribulation?
or did you bring it up?
if they had asked, my answer would have been something like:
go to Daniel 11 - read it carefully and objectively:
"fulfilled to the letter.
you can prove it through a little historical research.
impossible to refute.
Glorious."
[if you wish to debate dispensationalism with me, katy - open a thread.
after the recent antics and drama, it will be short and sweet.
no more games]

you have to have great faith to be used of god in this way.
some of us have it, and well...not saying the rest of you aren't saved, BUT....
You brought preterism up in this thread, I simply responded.
You're pointing a non believer to a preterist website. You claim that all has been fulfilled, that the tribulation is in the past. This is wrong. Believe this if you like, but why indoctrinate non believers with it?
As for dispensationalism, I don't align myself with any camp. Why associate myself with all that a man believes? I'm not a follower of man. I prefer to focus on what is revealed to me in scripture... and we're to test all things we hear with scripture, including what our pastors share.
Sorry, but I've yet to see you admit you may be wrong on anything. It gives the impression you don't think you can ever be edified by anyone on this site, because you feel you are correct in all things. We're all learning and growing, but it's these camps we're to watch out for, since they influence how we view all of scripture, which is why we must ignore these views of men and allow God to reveal truth to us without these views getting in the way.

Gert - I see you're banned, but I expect you'll look back on this thread. Have a read of the bible.
Here's my post from a similar thread. Hope this helps...................
The bible contains over 2000 prophecies that have been fulfilled, and several that will be fulfilled in our future.
The bible's words transcend all eras of history. It's words stand the test of time. Though it was written over a period of 1500 years, in 3 different languages, by several different men (many of them never having met each other), it flows together perfectly and speaks to the hearts of people today.
The scriptures are affirmed by thousands of archaeological discoveries. There has never been one archaeological find that has refuted one bible reference. The bible is the most historically and archaeologically documented book in history. Geographical locations were written about in great detail, long before man ever discovered them.
Jesus' crucifixion was written about 1000 years before He was born and 400 years before crucifixions were invented. Psalm 22:12-18 details His crucifixion "They pierced My hands and My feet"
The bible has been and is tremendously persecuted (mocked, scorned, outlawed, censored, burned), but yet it still remains
The bible stands and proclaims it's message year after year, generation after generation, century after century, government after government. It's very presence after 1000's of years of persecution is a scriptural fulfillment of the promise that it would remain until the end of the world.
The words written are the foundation of truth and will be until the end of history.
Over 3000 times, the bible specifically uses phrases, such as "God said" "God commands" "thus saith the Lord".
Here's a good book I recommend, which is full of scriptures and facts....

katy - i did NOT bring up preterism - whatever you think that means.
the study was posted ON a preterist site. you saw a hotlink with word preterist in it and dismissed everything.
thats YOUR problem.
the study has nothing to do with preterism as you think of it.
i directed the poster to a study of Daniel 11 which proves that chapter is a chronology about, and only about:
The Persians and Greeks
The Seleucid-Ptolemy Wars
Antiochus Epiphanes
The Maccabees
Herod the Great
Caesar Augustus
Herod the Great
if you knew anything about Daniel you would know it has to do with his people and the coming of the messiah and what would befall them in the latter days - 70AD.
sorry you don`t like actual prophecy happening in history.
you prefer Hal Lindsey and ridiculous speculative future scenarios when Daniel 11 is CLEARLY and GLORIOUSLY fulfilled and speaks to Gods faithfulness.
I SAID ONLY:
to the question - how can i know the Christian God is real -
go to Daniel 11 - read it carefully and objectively:
"fulfilled to the letter.
you can prove it through a little historical research.
impossible to refute.
Glorious."
BIG DEAL.
you guys point to Left Behind and all that nonsense.
at least the guy had the chance to see prophecy fulfilled to the letter.
something you don`t appear to be interested in.
i have NEVER once said all has been fulfilled.
ever. not one time in my life - never. is that clear enough for you.
that just shows you don't consider anything said by anyone other than dispensationalists.
please correct this allegation.
ive never ONCE said all was fulfilled.
pffft.....textbook dispensationalism...cop out if you want to.
ya ya ya. that schtick.
you didnt get dispensationalism from reading scripture.
who do you think youre kidding.
i know your system better than you do.
God has NOT revealed dispensationalism to you. its HERESY.
men have.
pay closer attention then.
im edified by all kinds of people on this site.
ya youre learning and growing...by dismissing anything that doesnt fit your presuppositions - which are error, btw.
youre in a CAMP.
id exit if i were you.
blah blah blah ...views of men.
thats where you got your views.
Darby,Scofield, Lindsey, all dispos.
sorry...cant help ya
dont accuse me of claiming everything is fulfilled again please.
and dont bring up this issue in an unrelated thread.
if you want to know why your view is error - start a thread.

[SUP]16 [/SUP]For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. [SUP]17 [/SUP]For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. [SUP]18 [/SUP]Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. [SUP]19 [/SUP]This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed
