    Following a painful incident I haven't been around for a few weeks and I don't know how much I will be around going forward. At least I finally had the time and inner peace sufficient to face things here but it reminds me why the internet is not the best form for community or communication, and...

    Not worth tears? I was speaking from my calling and you attacked me for being and doing what God made me for. Please do not gloss over the significance of what I'm saying in that. The fact is that you hurt me deeply. This is the first day I have dared come back in 2-3 weeks, and I considered...

    Whereas the Feast of Tabernacles represents separation (from other nations for the Old Covenant, and from the world for the New), the Last Great Day looks forward to the result of that separation - the revealing of the Messiah and the children of God for the Old and New Covenants respectively.

    On a re-look, it looks like the other poster was simply misapplying your post to mine. I certainly hope that is the case since I'm sad enough about that other poster suddenly turning on me. If so, I apologize for my mistake and am hopeful for peace. I have shed enough tears tonight over the matter.

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    Just a note, deep sea trenches are so deep because they are where the oceanic plate and the continental plate come together, not because of the water.

    I'm sorry for any miscommunication on my part. Thank you very much for clarifying.

    Thank you but that issue was long ago (and my beliefs actually aren't that clear-cut). The problem at this point is that someone spoke disrespectfully to me and when I called them out for it, others attacked me for speaking up. Your kindness therefore really touches me to the point of tears...

    Then the context is lost on you, which was my point in asking if you were aware. Whether you know it or not, you mention mixed-up elements of conversations that transpired today, which has the effect of painting a false picture of events and motivations.

    Do you mean to insert yourself into another's dispute? Because right now your words are coming across like a libelous accusation against my character.

    Et tu Brutë? ☹️ I have feelings, you know? If your comment was indeed in response to me as another poster suggests, how is it that you have come to assume the worst about me on the grounds of what others have done? I guess Paul didn't exactly get great receptions for speaking the truth either...

    If you follow the thread, I didn't denounce anyone for disagreeing. I denounced their bad behavior. This is consistent with my spiritual gifts and calling, by the way; and if I ever overstep, God has indicated that He is capable of reigning me in. And since when is it my job to prove anything...

    Wow, so much arrogance in there, from presuming you know better without testing than I who tested extensively (though you weren't even humble enough to ask me about it), to foolishly thinking you alone can't be deceived even despite multiple Bible verses warning us to test things. (1 Thess...

    What do you mean I don't NEED a prophetic word for it!?! :mad: Is it an important issue? - No, but then if you don't care why are you even here discussing it? It wasn't up to me and it certainly wasn't up to you, though it might have been up to the gentleman who asked. The fact is that God gave...

    I said from a "prophetic word." Therefore it doesn't have a Bible reference because I never even suggested it was from the Bible. I mean do you really know people who use this expression when they are referring to scripture? Because it wouldn't be technically wrong, but it would be confusing...

    I don't think we are communicating much at all. I only mentioned the 2 Peter 3:8 passage because I thought you were bringing it up and I was trying to take a stab at what you meant. I didn't interpret that God said it was a meaningless question because time didn't exist - that was an exact...

    Yeah. Thanks for trying to help but even if there was doubt on what I meant there: 1) Pretty much any practicing Christian who wasn't born-again yesterday would be aware of the multiple possibilities of meaning. 2) There was follow-up. The person is just choosing to be obstinate to even...

    You show me where I said that "the Bible" has such a prophecy and I will show you the verse. Or you could actually try listening to what I said and not keep using deception to interpose your disingenuous arguments.

    If you have to have moral compromise to share the gospel, then it isn't the gospel any more. Really, though, this is the second post I have responded to you in 5 minutes where you have put your own thoughts and opinions over what God is saying to people. I can respect those who just don't know...
