"Jesus is alive in heaven today. He is coming back shortly to rescue His chosen elect from earth before He unleashes His wrath against the unGodly. Nations will come agaist Israel to destroy it. But over 2000 years ago God said I will bless those that bless you and I will curse those that curse you.\nA battle is brewing. Time to choose sides."\n\nIs this sort of language helpful??

It's the kind of nonsense that makes for war and keeps people separate from each other. Not what i think Jesus was really going for in his lifetime here. I don't think this sort of thing helps anyone but the church.

The Bible has changed quite a bit over time and by different people.  It would be easy to switch one or two words around and get a completely different meaning.\nI would suggest you try looking at different Bibles and see the differences.  Maybe an older version might not have had that in it.\nThat line sounds to me like Jesus was justifying the Crusade, which I highly doubt he would have.

The bible is open to interpretations.  Jesus stated that we will not be given the knowledge to predict these coming events.  A massive earthquake is imminent especially in the "ring of fire" as we have seen lately with the Indonesian tsunami, the recent earthquake in Indonesia's java province, and the small earthquake in the Pacific Northwest.  As far an Asteriod hitting us, God only knows.  If you have Jesus in your life, you don't have to worry about all this stuff.

The context in Luke is putting anything above God in your life. If you do that you are not worthy of Him. You have to hate everything in your life compared to Him. That's what it is saying. It has no connection with the Law in Exodus....   Jim

I didn't see the special but this is the only way I could find to contact you and ask you a question. In your question to "unbelievers about the rapture" do you think it is proper to select as a best answer one by a believer? After all the way you Phrased the question you were searching for negative results. I do not mean this hatefully only as "constructive " criticism, if there is such a thing. You can contact me , if you wish , on my 360 page.

He said -\n"I form light and create darkness, I make weal and create woe;\n I the Lord do all these things" \n\nHaving the word "evil" ....this is often mistranslated in English Bibles, but in the Hebrew it is absolutely unmistakable. \n\nCan you explain what you mean by "evil" and what God meant by "evil"???????????? \n\nYou can't question God!!!!! nor his word!!!!\n\nAnyway don't forget that God can make woe for the evil people. However I'm sure he won't do that. He is a loving father to all of us even through we doubt Him and try to find faults with God, His word and His creation.

Do you notice that Jesus first tells the man that all he need do is keep the commandments?  But the man carries on, feeling that it won't be enough for some reason (even though Jesus just said it would)?  He feels he's still lacking.  Jesus tells him what he must do 'to be perfect'.  Not what he must do to gain eternal life.  I don't know about you, but, I have too many other people in my life to take care of to be 'perfect'.  Even as much as I admire Jesus.

It depends. I spoke to our Parish priest about that, (^_^) and he said that it was INSPIRED in the prophets who wrote it, so in reality it was not really what Jesus exactly says (or said).\n \n(^_^)

There's a passage I got memorized,\n                       seems appropriate for this\n                       situation: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path\n                       of the righteous man is beset on\n                       all sides by the inequities of the\n                       selfish and the tyranny of evil\n                       men.  Blessed is he who, in the\n                       name of charity and good will,\n                       shepherds the weak through the\n                       valley of darkness, for he is truly\n                       his brother's keeper and the finder\n                       of lost children.  And I will\n                       strike down upon thee with great\n                       vengeance and furious anger those\n                       who attempt to poison and destroy\n                       my brothers.  And you will know my\n                       name is the Lord when I lay my\n                       vengeance upon you."\n\nAlthough its a very inaccurate quote if you actually check that passage in a bible.

:}\nWhile this chapters addresses end times the admonition not to trust in man is valid for all times;\nPsalms 146:3-5 adds light.\n"3.  Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.\n4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.\n5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:"\n\nMan is no more reliable or steadfast than the air be breathes, here now and soon passed.\nOnly the Lord can be our refuge,\n\nremember that Bro.Eli Soriano is also a man, use his help but keep trust in the Lord.

Hey, I'm no prophet; but thanks for the remark.\n\n\nOk, I'll play along.\n\nOpen thine ears, and hearken unto my voice all true Squiggries and Migglies. The day of reckoning is at hand. Let the wrath of the Bafuudo be redeemed. Arise, I tell you, arise and take up arms against the lowly zabubabulooians. For they shall be like flies to our newspaper, and ants to our magnifying glass.\n\nSo saith airborne_lt

I was wondering the same thing.\n\nThe evil lord is using his bag of tricks, disguises, deceit\netc... to get a rise out of GOD's children and he is using\n(as usual) those who are blind to his coup of garbage.\n\nThe e*** one always goes after the hurt, lonely etc...\n\nThis world and time are the e*** one's plate and you can\nbe sure that he or it will fill every millimeter on that\nplate so that he or it won't suffer with the gas, acid\nreflux alone.\n\nPray. \nPray for all the people even with the angry or vile statements and yes, we are to shake our feet so to \nspeak and walk off. If you feel that you can show\nsomeone Christ's love, then keep at it with love.\n\nChoose who to answer to when you see questions and see\nif they are repeatedly antagonizing christians, if they\nare do not respond anymore to that individual.\n\nIt hurts me too when I see hurting souls that the e***\none has captured. Remember Jesus can save even the most\ndisgruntled person. I wouldn't say that a person who\nblasphemes could be in a posistion to listen, but many,\nmany people can be saved and will be saved.\n\nStay strong StephenAlan and I too will be standing along with you.\n\nIsa:40:28: Hast thou not known?  hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?  there is no searching of his understanding.\nIsa:40:30: Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:\nIsa:40:31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.(KJV)

Jesus is complaining that the Pharisees and teachers are distorting the meaning of their religion.  This "adultery" does not refer to sex but to "adulteration", to contamination and unfaithfulness to the true Jewish faith.  They are twisting the meanings of the scriptures to promote their own evil ideas.\n\nLooking at the context, Jesus had just cured a blind, deaf man by casting out a demon.  The Pharisees explained that Jesus had done it with with the permission of the prince of demons.  They then demanded their own personal miracle from Jesus as a test.  Jesus was angry and accused them of discrediting any sign from God that they couldn't control.  He then brought up examples of miracles from the past, Jonah converting the hated Ninevites, the heathen queen of the South coming to learn wisdom from Solomon, to show that the Pharisees were blind to real signs of God's presence.\n\nBy calling them a "generation", Jesus was saying they were controlling the attitudes of an entire generation, setting themselves up as the authority to interpret scripture and religion in their own, twisted, Godless way.

It's sad you cannot post a question without being attacked by Christians that claim  to adhere to the words of the Bible, particularly "Judge ye that not be Judged" and "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." These so-called Christians should be ashamed for not allowing you to express your different Point of view in an open forum.  I think an even better point to make for these individuals who are willing to attack you in such a juvenile way is to quote my Kindergarten teacher “If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." May whichever god you choose, even if it’s none, bless you all.

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

You've got it mixed up. This is the actual scripture:\n\nFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\n\nNowhere does it say God killed Jesus.\n\nGod gave his Son to the people to show His eternal Love for us. \n\nThe misguided people killed Jesus.
