Amen.
Every single time.
I was once lost.
Then came Jesus.
Now I am like Him.
I hate what He hates.
Love people hate the devil
Mark 5:1-20 Legion pleaded with Jesus to be sent into a vessel (pig) and not to be tossed out with out into the world without possing a vessel. Compassion is not bad. He forgave everyone, hanging naked, violently nail to a tree and his skin torn and shredded . He for gave us. GOD will not forgive us if we do not forgive others. Having compassion on someone, knowing their fate or the chains they are bound by. Jesus has compassion because he knows the temptations of us all. All religions have good and bad in them. Looking at the good in religions is a good thing to do. In Rev . GOD talks about what the good and bad that churches do
God is love, 13 +13 =26 YHVH the fullness of love. And we are complete in him
I don't believe it was compassion that Yeshua bestowed upon the legion of demons but rather knowing they still have a duty to fulfill.
The catching up of the saints is a metaphor? We should take it literally.
Yes, by faith I believe if the boble says so it will be. I believe when he decends we will be taken up in the air to meet him, that's what the Paul says. (but I see alot of cloudy things floating around . )
The rapture does not happen until after the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition (the anti-christ)
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition

He could be revealed tomorrow.
Then the rapture could be day after tomorrow.
That's a possibility
I think after dinner this evening I'm going to get up on my roof and have Rapture Practice!
Lol.
yep.
Jesus said to "pray that you may be counted worthy to escape the things about to come upon the world and stand before the son of man."
Tell him you take him seriously.
I was doing that back when you were still in spiritual diapers
Don't tell the reformers. They think God selected them and they can live in sin and still never be disinherited
But then again these are the people that used to have people murdered if they did not agree with their false reformed doctrine, just like the catholics they claimed to have broken away from.
They still cannot show in scripture where Jesus said "if they don't believe your words, have them murdered"
"Show me anywhere that Jesus or an apostle was nice and loving to the devil or demons."
They at that time knew them.. but today its "who are you, who knows you, how long have you walked in what you believe/preach". Now I may disagree with people like John MacArthur, Oral Roberts, Hagin, Billy Graham and so many know known preachers. We may disagree with doctrines that don't touch salvation yet its wise to listen to them.
Anyway for me it would seem the lawless one (Satan) has no power over the Church never will its written. That Church has all power all authority over him, demons, fallen angels. That will never change...its Christ in us and Christ would have to leave us for Satan to have any power over us...only way is if we someone willingly do say believe and allow him to. I believe..
So for me would seem this Church would have to be gone then the lawless one comes out in the open. Odd how he can't now. For me reading I would be gone and never know how he was. Right now by our own merits we are not worthy.. you are worthy holy pure righteous because you believe in Jesus Christ. That does not can not come from you.. it has to be Him "However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness."
I don't get stuck on this. He not man He told me to watch and pray be ready. In the late 1980's to me.. me He said which really got my life turned back to Him "something evil is coming on this world but before that something wonderful will happen. Watch and pray watch and pray watch and pray be ready". I never add to that .. I know what it can sound like yet I never go there why? He never said that. And His word were told to watch be ready now. I was not promised tomorrow in His word. He gave me now today .. so my choice? I will watch for Him expect Him now. I will never miss Him.
I can not say about those that freely willingly do not watch do not believe.. He comes now what happens. They are telling Him when He comes. Then those that say only a few will go or all will go. Lol.. I don't know for fact pre mid post. I know what I personally believe.. since I can not fully proof it I watch believe now. Now is what He gave me.

Blade:
Interesting take on Satan, daemons and devils. In Job, God's satan was His dialog partner, His satan as the prosecuting attorney working for God. In Job when used with the definite article (ha-satan, "the accuser" or "the adversary"), it functions as a title for a celestial prosecutor in God's heavenly court. In Hebrew bible texts, Satan does not act as an independent ruler of hell or an arch-enemy of God, but as a member of the heavenly assembly (ha-elohim) who tests human righteousness or brings accusations with God's explicit permission. The exact singular word "devil" does not exist in the Hebrew Old Testament an evil spirit afflicted Saul and a lying spirit accomplished God's plan.
And Jesus called Peter "Satan."
If demons are some kind of eternal evil beings and God created everything that was made and 100% was "good," where did these eternal anti-God beings come from? We know from the bible that heaven was corrupt before the earth was created as some of God's heavenly sexually mature male angels came to breed with earthly women but were so evil God had to kill them all. How does that work?
If there are fallen angels then it means that salvation is not necessarily eternal as some percent of the saved will turn into future fallen angels, right? If God could not keep his old angels in line, why do we think given how depraved we will be as angels that we too will become fallen as eternity is a long time.
Jesus told a group of religious opponents in John 8:44 that their father was the devil, though the Gospel text refers to them generally as "the Jews" who were arguing with Him, rather than explicitly naming the Pharisees in that specific verse. But then Jesus tells us that what we call our religion must exceed the righteous living of the Pharisees.
Jesus equated physical diseases and dysfunctions as being caused by demons. Should we be calling the church elders to cure us or use modern medicine to call out the demons?
When Jesus was confronted with a man full of demons he cast those demons out the man and into pigs. Should we keep pigs, just in case?
In the Gospel according to Mark, Jesus commanded the demons to keep quiet about Him as He did not want anybody to know who he was before Jesus was ready. So, perhaps we should pray for Jesus to quiet our demons.
In Luke 11 Jesus seems to indicate if a demon is removed from a person but that person does not turn from his former evil ways then: 24“When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but not finding any. Then it says, ‘I will return to the home I left.’ 25 When it returns, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there, so the last state of that person is worse than the first.” Jesus seems to suggest what you do with your life has a lot to do with your demons.
Interesting subject
I believe in one God. A God whose name is Immanuel which means God with us. And John 1 says in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word is God.
In Hebrew understanding we see that Yod Hey Vav Hey translate as Behold the hand and Behold the nail.
In Psalm 139 David describes God as all knowing (omniscience), all present (omnipresent), and all-powerful (omnipotent). We call these the three Omnis.
This describes the one God whose personal name is YHWH and in the English KJV it is translated as LORD.
Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus is the Lamb. Jesus is our Good Shepherd. In Revelation we read in 5:13 To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
For people living on earth right now, there's only one Name given under Heaven whereby man can be saved.
Specifically, what Name does one need to call upon to obtain salvation?
