Josh123 I don't know if you heard this from God or someone else but this is known a prophecy, and yes you are right about the church uniting. I have said before that I believe the Lord is going to create and is creating for himself now a new race of christians, christians this world has not seen in over 2,000 years. These christians are to become the very embodiment of his heart and all the dwells in it.
We Christians are seperated by denominations, but in my opinion the true bride and church will not be together by denominations but by heart. It's the heart that God is searching for not how wise or strong we are or by what teaching we abide by. People say they believe what they believe because of the word, they say to test your believes by the word of God and yes normally this would make sense. except the fact the bible has been seperated just as much as us with our denomintaions, so if we are searching for scripture to either prove our beliefs true or false we will find it because it seems people only seem to find scripture that they want to find to fit their beliefs not to edify or for the double edged sword to teach them.
Blain, have I ever told you how I love you and your stand for the truth!

I don't think uniting is to be done except uniting with the Lord. That takes a humble spirit, humble before His word. When I see God's word distorted I feel I must speak out, and all who love the Lord feels the same. I've been called on a misinterpretation I have had and had to eat crow. I am not important, none of us are, even church denominations, but the truth is very important. The truth can only be found by those who ignore no scripture, saying their favorite scripture is the "only" one, who never ever gives a meaning to a scripture that he comes to by human reasoning, only by humbly listening to the Lord.

As long as we have the proud, the self righteous, the people sure they can figure it all out for themselves, or the people who don't study the entire word of God we are not going to have unity. And we shouldn't.

i agree with this and the part you said " The truth can only be found by those who ignore no scripture " just curious what exactly are you saying by this not saying you are but if your pointing figures i prove to everyone by the scriptures that the 10 commandments was meant for the jews in the first place and even showed and yelled it out with a huge font but no one still accepts this what do you have to say about that?

Josh123, you didn't prove nothing to me, i will try my best to live the commandments of God. Been living this way 33 years, and its working for me. If it's not broke why fix it. Thanking The Father for sending Jesus, to show us it can be done in the flesh. With the Almighty nothing is impossible.

The church is uniting but not for good. There is an effort to unite all the churches of the world into one world religion. God has said it will be so in the end of the age. Rome will unite with Islam and the two will absorb all the remaining smaller religions. This will be the base from which anti-Christ will control the world and persecute Israel.
This of course assumes that the true church the body of Christ is already with the Lord and the Holy Spirit allows men to do as their evil heart desires.
We shall see what we shall see. I expect to have a great view from my seat in heaven.

You know who has been preaching the last days? Everyone. From like the beginning of time. I understand things are moving in that direction, and we should be ready, but seriously since i was a young child I've been hearing "THIS IS THE YEAR!" all my life. To tell you the truth I used to have great anxiety about it. Now that I'm older I know better. Live your life in God's direction. Be alert, but not fearful. Fulfill your life in God's plan and don't....worry about doomsday.

so you were able to keep the 10 commandments PERFECTLY for 33 years? and what is the commandments of god... for us THE GENTILES, i don't understand.. if we're born in sin which means sin is the only thing we know how to do how can you or anyone keep something? it's impossible just the flesh trying to be self righteous bible even said the gentiles made a law unto themselves... you don't even realise this i've even proven to you and the others through the scriptures tht it was meant for the jews and god made a new covenant with them because they didn't continue with it( with the jews not gentiles ) For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. [h=3]Romans 2:14[/h]

I agree with the first part, my friend, but you know what I believe about rapture and a place of safety, so here we disagree.

so you were able to keep the 10 commandments PERFECTLY for 33 years? and what is the commandments of god... for us THE GENTILES, i don't understand.. if we're born in sin which means sin is the only thing we know how to do how can you or anyone keep something? it's impossible just the flesh trying to be self righteous bible even said the gentiles made a law unto themselves... you don't even realise this i've even proven to you and the others through the scriptures tht it was meant for the jews and god made a new covenant with them because they didn't continue with it( with the jews not gentiles ) For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. Romans 2:14
One liners out of context don't do much for me...

Rom 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

Says here when they DO the Law (the things contained where? IN THE LAW).

Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Josh123, in my post it says i try, never said i keep them perfectly, One thing i will never say is Gods 10 commandments are for the Jews only, and try teaching brothers and sisters that the 10 commandments are no concern of theirs.

Have you ever considered this verse Josh?

Ecclesiasties 1:9
9 That which has been is that which will be,
And that which has been done is that which will be done.
So there is nothing new under the sun.

The oracles of Josh the revelator! How long will this take to complete? Did God tell you this directly? I'll make a mental mark of this prophesy, and check back with yah in 20-30 years or so, if the Lord allows.
