I personally still feel sorry for all the people of the earth....even my enemies and do not look forward to the Day of the Lord until all people that can be saved.......are.
Here is scriptures warning not to wanting the Day of the Lord before it's determined time.
Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Amos 5:20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
It won't unfold the way most people believe.
Please do onot connect my name with some nitwit attempting to usher in any of the fulfillment of the Word, other than when it is our Father's time. We are to conduct ourselves in a manner as though we expect Him to return, even this moment. And if I confess I believe we are on the brink of the Gretest Tribulation ever, I am not making it up. I believe this, but then so did they at the time of Paul. No harm, no foul as long as I do not believe I am causing God's will. So be with all who voice what the have been given to understand...

Just trying to give last warning to God's people before the Calling out of God's People becomes The culling out of God's People. I don't expect many will understand. There is a named Messenger in the Bible that is given Authority to knock Satan out of God's Heaven.
I don't claim to be that Messenger but to be in unison with Him and if My Prayer are answered I will do my duty and help with the Messengers cause.
Satan's choice is drugs and his servant's all push drugs. Christ never pushed drugs for correction of character, mind or Spirit. Know whose spirit you serve. God Bless You.

No, you are not mentioned in the Bible at all. Anyone who thinks they are is grandiose, a sign of either bipolar mania, or schizophrenia.

Who exactly are you talking to with your posts? You come in full of fire and fury and then announce some kind of "culling" of God's people? Give me 3 verses, in context that support this AND use the word "culling." You need at least 3 or even more verses to make a new doctrine. Also exegete the Greek/Hebrew for each verse. You should never MAKE new doctrines unless you have a good working knowledge of the original languages.

Most people in this forum, except for a few heretics and visitors are actively serving God. Perhaps you could get to know us, before you start announcing gloom and doom for every SAVED person. Sorry, God has saved me for eternity. In response, I have been serving him with all my heart, strength, mind and soul since HE saved me 40 years ago. I know that is the same for so many others at CC!

Basically you are delusional. I'm not putting you down! I am urging you to seek help. Get a diagnosis, learn how to manage your symptoms. It's so sad when people pretend a kind of religiousity, whatever the motive, and come up with such unbiblical doctrine. Please quote Scripture to prove your points. Or are you above needing the Bible, with direct messages from God? Another example of grandiosity.

I agree it can be used for bad or in excess....

However, thinking about how technology's platforms have enabled many to access learning about God as well as fellowship with His ppl, I can see its benefits also. I personally am so thankful but also have to really work on finding balance.

So again, you brought up valid points but ultimately, I believe it is on us how we use technology. It can be used for bad, that is why we must guard our hearts and be circumspect on how and how much... Just my take....:D

God Bless...:D

How is technology evil, when you have used it to spread what you feel is a good message? It is a platform, much like money it is amoral (neither good or evil) but what you do with it determines its value.

How can you speak to it’s evils at the same time using it for your perceived good?

What the internet has done is allowed more communication on a grander scale, and allow people to reach others with services or information they were ignorant to. It’s done more than that as it has integrated into our daily lives, but your job then should be to see how this technology can be used to glorify God.

A pen 🖊 has been used for both good and evil, but the pen is not evil only the author of whatever nefarious teachings or ideologies they wrote. Yet too writing has been used for good, even to the printing of the Bible.

This is like avoiding the market square in times of old, where people met (and could be preached to). People meet online now, and if you abandon it, what voice will they hear? Not the Gospel.

Consider that technology and innovation come from God, and He bestows wisdom upon mankind. These things you should embrace and see what the Lord is doing through this medium of media (TV, social media, videos, books, etc). Media is a means of expression and if you denounce media, you’ve limited your expression and reach.
Bamidy Bam Bam!!!! I couldn't agree more. Well expressed.

I agree the use of culling as we know is basically slaughtering of animals using it is odd and the poster directly mentions America as the place it happens with no regard to anywhere else I guess Muslim or communist country’s are A ok with him in the Muslim country’s if a person is caught with a Bible preaching Christianity to other people it isn’t going to be a nice talk about it.

he is probably bent over the trade deal with Canada and the U.S.

Satan's choice is drugs and his servant's all push drugs. Christ never pushed drugs for correction of character, mind or Spirit. Know whose spirit you serve. God Bless You.

As a Christian, God never says, "withdraw forever from society!" In fact he says the opposite! "Go into the world and preach the gospel!" Mark 16:15

That is a call to be with people, not to run away. Well, that is my opinion, anyway!
it's my opinion too - tho the advice to us is to seek to 'aspire to live a quiet life' ((1 Thess. 4:11)) the word to us is not to make ourselves isolate from the world. He already did this, right where we were, when we were immersed into Him, in faith, and we became new in Him, not of the world - and His intention is that we remain in the world:


I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
(John 17:15-16)
