Its not funny

Ivory poaching has damaged countries and elephants. Thanks to greedy people. Sinful greedy people.

You are being obtuse, disrespectful, and obnoxious... and you know it. This isn't Christian behavior and you are derailing someone else's thread.
 
Just because you don't care about God's creatures, doesn't mean other Christians don't.
 
Don't mess with God's creatures He put on this earth for us to look after.

Don't be foolish with your words either.
 
"elephant in the room' is not a Christian verse in the Bible.

If you can't see the obvious in the natural, you will not see the spiritual either.

You don't know me at all. Sorry. I don't have Lanolin as a name to be obnoxious or disrespectful. It has deeper meaning.
 
The elephant is hiding him in jail
No wait, the elephant is locked up in jail. Or caged.

But elephants are now free in zoos, they just have bigger enclosures. Have you ever been to India? Seen an elephant or ridden one?
There are two types of elephants, Asian and African.

Not many people regard the Asian ones, except those living in Asia. But they really are beasts of burden, and people used to ride them, some still do.
It is not that simple....

Has someone assigned you to destroy this thread?

Who might it be?

Or are you just suffering from attention lust?
 
Has this been fulfilled??? If so, what modern-day 'current'/'recent' events fulfilled it???

Ezekiel 39:

9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
Great start. Looking forward to further biblical discussions.
 
No, we did not ALL grow up using the apple as the symbol of the fruit on the tree that A& E were forbidden to eat off of.

I think you are really stretching things here. I'm not biting into that particular food. I do not think there is any connection.

BIIIG stretch imo

That's fine just thought I'd put that out there. In your responses not just to me but to others as well you seem to have a anger in your replies. Why is that?
 
Thanks for explaining your view - I appreciate it. Trump's statement was inane but I have to disagree with your conclusion when some past Presidents, who held the same authority, have been openly hostile towards Israel and acted upon that. Your conclusion seems a bit selective and inconsistent.

It goes much deeper than that, Mr. Trump has alluded to being a Christian. He has evangelical backing and points to God and Christ in his speaking. His spiritual advisor is a question mark through. And his fixation on placing his name and his achievements seems to be unbecoming as christ like. Pride.
Ronald Reagan was more subtle in his speaking but concern of his wife's practice in spirituality and forms of witchcraft grab my attention.
I voted and was on board with Mr. Trump but these past few months have been concerning. Just a observation for now.

I never mistook Trump for a Christian. He is what he is, warts and all. I didn't vote for a pastor. I voted for policy, and so far I still think his policies have accomplished a lot of good for the U.S. in a very short period of time. I don't regret his administration restoring law and order, lowering the crime rate, securing the border, addressing rampant fraud, deporting criminals, job growth for citizens, manufacturing returning to the U.S., etc. Do you regret those things? I simply see past 'the warts' and praise God that fewer citizens are being murdered, raped, stolen from, etc.

I pray someday Trump will become Christian, but that's up to God alone. No matter who is President, though, God is still in charge.

I believe the U.S. support for Israel has blessed us up into this point but has been compromised by the statement made by Mr.Trump
When he said...quote.... Israel would not have survived if it weren't for the U.S.
No deal will be reached with Iran as the lord said he will deal with them and the whole world will know it was God.

The reason I focused on your premise is because it looks like you're building a case for Trump's statement being the springboard to other events such as Iran, but if the premise is flawed to begin with, there goes the case.

It seems the entire op is floundering actually and not for lack of people trying to keep it afloat. IMO, when someone creates an op,
they should try to keep things focused. Oh well.
 
I'll add to this but I am not responding to the obvious detractions any longer.

This has to be an important subject otherwise some would not have been trying to get it shut down from the get go and now we have childish insertions from people who seem to think that everything is to be made fun of as they do in just about every thread they bump into. That's fine though. Tell us who you really are.

This forum seems to need a playpen area.
You realize you quoted yourself there?
And then said, "I'll add to this but I am not responding to the obvious detractions any longer."
 
As the U.S. tries to negotiate with the terrorists which we said we dont I believe it will bring about a economic collapse as it seems everyone is getting into the tariff deals. I believe it will bring on the war in Ezekiel and the trib.

Also to address the above: I don't think the Trump admin believes Iran will honor any negotiation. I think the admin knows it has to be publicly seen as doing their due diligence before taking the next step. Just my opinion at this time.

You can still reply to the proper topic of this thread. I don't know why she's trying to bury it but if you put her on ignore for this thread, it will be like she was never here. So if you have something to contribute to the true topic of this thread, please do so.

So let us continue on topic: I'd be interested in what people have to say about which current events seem to show fulfillment of the prophecies.
