Take away their Barbies and GI Joes as well...


Anyway, I do find it interesting from this behavior how many people are so proud to love God yet can't seem to take the time to look in the mirror and see they are not perfect but have no problem pointing out others issues.

Is that what Christianity is all about?

There has been a lot of name calling lately, especially calling others wolves.

God uses animals to describe things in this world, to make pictures in our minds which are clear and hard to misunderstand. I started this thread to show that sheep and wolves do not look alike, and they do not act alike. The picture that God gives to describe those who are His children and those who are attacking His children is clear. His sheep do not rend and strike and attack. Wolves do. I even quoted the relevant passage, where Jesus mentions wolves and sheep, talking about good shepherds and hirelings.

Soon, one day, we will see the difference, those who are true shepherds, and those who are hirelings.

Not exactly, but I do believe he "speaks" to us in many ways.

Anyone who has the gift of prophecy, or has been called as a prophet, will understand when I say that I did not want to make this post. But the voice of the Lord is not insistent, but rather quietly leading one to do as He wishes. I have from the Lord that I am not to answer critical words any more. So, in obedience to Him, hear these words or not.

In Christ

The testing has started. The dross will be removed from the gold and silver. Those who will not come to Me will not get many more chances. Those who lie about Me will grow even harder in their hearts. Those who do not love Me will go astray, and stumble, and fall. And My servants will prevail, just as I prevailed.

I set a choice before you, with a question. Do you love Me? Will you follow Me? Will you become My servants? Or will you continue to love the knowledge of Me? Will you still follow what you believe? Will you still serve yourself and your pride? Will you live in Me?

Not all that you believe is from Me. And not all that you do is pleasing in My sight. And not all that you say or think is of faith. But My servants will not be so in the days to come. Everything they believe will be from Me, and they will speak My words, and they will do the things that are pleasing in My sight. And I will love them.

I hate your assemblies. I loath your offerings. I despise your service. Your prayers I do not hear, because they are for your own lusts. Your hands are dirty, and your lips have become numb. Your ears do not hear, nor do your eyes see. Who among you has a soft heart? Who is seeking truth in My Father's presence? Who has lost themselves for Me and to Me? Who has lost every other love, to know My love? Who has become My servant?

I am coming quickly. I am coming with a sword. I am coming to make war, to make an end, a complete ending of all the lies. I am coming to reward My servants, and to gather those who love My appearing. Will you be ashamed at My appearing, or will you have great joy? Either way, I am coming quickly.

because you are a false prophet who channels spirits you want us to believe are Jesus (and sometimes God The Father, other times it's God the Holy Spirit).

Zone I agree with you that I do not believe these people are prophets. What I have read from their posts shows that. But there is not much to be done if they will not listen.

a true shepherd doesn't run when the wolves come.
they point to them continually. they harass them as long as it takes.

they refuse to allow them any room to drag away the stragglers and the weaker lambs.
they refuse to allow them to blend in with the flock.

God gives us freedom of choice and if we choose error He will let us reap the fruit of it. He has done it in the past and will continue to do it

I will also say that just from MY perspective that those that like to attack arent worth my time.

I either, ignore them or politely insult them to where they go off wondering if it was really a compliment or not.

Also, when it resorts to name calling and petty insults that just shows those acting that way arent intelligent enough to form a proper debate so they stoop to a childish level.

Yep, that is why I have not called anyone any names.

I know your trapped vw if you say yes...then we all go to hell
if you say no, then your a nut.

Thing is if you say maybe, you figure it out, if the shoe fits wear it. Thats
not a prophet. It would only be a preacher, with little "authority" as you all call it.
