Well obviously this pastor was wrong in predicting the rapture! He should have known better.

Wow, demonize much?
Yes, definitely. Because it has no relevance to the thread whatsoever. And at least scientists don’t go bilking people out of their hard-earned cash because of a totally imaginary Rapture. Unlike some Christians. Better to have “unbelieving scientists” than snake-oil salesmen like Harold Camping, or that fake prophet in South Africa.All he did was post a verse. Do you disagree with it?
You don’t come when He calls or draws, or answer the door when He knocks even though though no one has excuse (Rom 1:20). You prefer yourself and the world and the flesh to God, as Adam did, You remain in your pride and in your sins instead of in Him after entering and lingering for a time. You believe but the cares of the world as per Matt 13:22 or the fear of man as per John 12:42 end up superceding and choking out or thwarting that gift of faith. Or you may you say you're saved but fail to love and to forgive others, or to produce good fruit. You don't peservere. EtcHow do you refuse to be saved?
I agree with this entirely. If the Second Coming can be derailed by a mere detail like humans moving to another planet then that suggests that God is pretty pathetic. Which is absurd. I don’t think it makes the slightest difference where the human race ends up; I think the Second Coming, if it happens, will happen regardless of where human beings may be found.I don't think that God is concerned one little bit with our going to Mars any more than He was concerned with the Wright brothers trying to fly. It's just our human nature to push boundaries. Which is why I'm actually proud of Adam and Eve for eating that apple. If somebody tells us not to do something, guess what we're gonna do. Sure, we do stupid things every now and then, but we're still here, and if perchance we someday die trying... I say good on us. Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
He who smelt it, dealt it.The Lachman fire was reported about 12:17 a.m. on New Year’s Day in the hillside above Pacific Palisades by a resident whose home is about two blocks from the popular Skull Rock trail.
That pesky context if it only went away……You merely use context in order to eliminate God's Words from applying to YOU
Then how did the lunar reflectors that are there now get there? Remember the lunar reflectors are in use now so the evidence for their existence and presence there is factual and absolute.For one, nobody has walked on the moon & two, if nobody has walked on the moon how the heck have left all this so called paraphernalia on it.
First it was sandwiches, now it's donuts. Where will it end?!?NG deployments have been due to Antifa and rioters endangering public savants.
I support Israel and Palestine. I don't support Hamas or Netanyahu."On October 7, 2023, the people of Israel endured their darkest day since the Holocaust. In a coordinated attack, Hamas terrorists crossed into southern Israel, murdering 1,200 civilians, abducting more than 250 hostages, and committing atrocities too horrific to fully describe.
For Christians, this day should never fade into distant memory. Just as September 11 became a defining moment for America, October 7 has become a watershed moment for Israel. It was not only Israel's tragedy but ours as well, since more than forty Americans were killed that day. Their blood was shed alongside their Israeli brothers and sisters." - CBN News.

Do you support Israel or Palestine's hamas?
so I challenge @Apple Sky to prove that the lunar reflectors are not on the moon surface.
No Word of God stops applying to everyone. Matt. 4:4, Luke 4:4, Deut. 8:3Reading the entire parable you would see this is a false statement. Mark 4:15 only applies to the ones that are by the way side-
You merely use context in order to eliminate God's Words from applying to YOUYou continually refuse to see the context. And you continually ignore scripture all the while stating you accept every word.
UH, no. You only accept them as applied to someone else if you don't like themWe can accept every word of God all the while applying context to them.
All 4 groups apply to everyoneChrist starts every verse in this parable with the words - "And these" There are 4 groups. So no, 4:15 does not apply to everyone.
I do not let myself off the hook.
I accept every Word BUT the tempter in me does not. It's no different with you but you just can't differentiate and dominate. Nothing personal. It happens with everyoneI'm not the one that ignores scripture. I take the bible as a whole. Something you refuse to do. And I'm sure after this post you will continue to do so.
from your post that the KJV is different from the Greek and Hebrew, i'm aware that there are differnces , for one the English language is more complex and for most english speaking folks they are limited to only reading English, as far as i'm concerned the Kjv is the best we have and all other translations are somewhat watered downSorry, I don't read Hebrew or Greek. Where did you get that idea? I mainly use the NKJV.
While I hesitate to go to the other side so to speak (aka the Calvinists) I do think they have an important understanding of this sort of thing. It is called the difference between Spirit Upon and Spirit Within. The best summary of it is in a book called Receiving the Power by Presbyterian pastors Z. Brad Long and Doug McMurry.That's what I am driving at, I suppose. It IS possible for a person, even a prophet or apostle, to exercise the gifts of the spirit but with little fruit. There is a danger imo, (while others clearly seem to disagree) in labelling the whole ministry as satanic because it's basically carnality at work.
I know this from 30 years in co-leadership. A leader incredibly thin-skinned, had to be in charge, verbally controlling. Quite immature emotionally. His son called his Christianity his "hobby". BUT, the church benefitted from his years of preaching and faithfulness.
So you’re saying if the ICE facility was not there that there would be less violence?The area around the ICE facility is not.
Right, and how does that translate to plenary authority for the President? Especially given that the President himself is the source for both of those claims.NG deployments have been due to Antifa and rioters endangering public savants.
As far as I understand we can only think one thought at a time, however with time the filter can be worn.Was listening to a program talking about mental health. (My mental health issues Part #1)
Unlike other people with their mental disorders or disabilities, I can describe exactly what's going on with me, and it's not at all a mystery to me. When I'm around a bunch of different sources of noise, or people talking (including other people's televisions, and media and whatnot sometimes) (or when I'm around a combination of both actually) I am constantly picking up on everything and immediately applying it to something about me, or having to do with me, and applying it it all kinds of different ways all of the time and always, some of which are sometimes very disturbing, although not always disturbing always, but either way, me or mind makes it about me or something having to do with me, or something that I was just experiencing/doing, and it is something that I am not at all doing willingly. And with a lot of different noise/sources/voices around, it is constantly shifting, and changing, constantly and very, very, very quickly. I can shut a single source down almost immediately, but with a lot of different sources/voices, it is happening too fast for me to be able to keep up most usually, or shut them all down immediately or completely, cause the second I pick up on on one voice/source, and shut it down almost immediately, it changes to another one after that almost immediately, and it's too much for me to be able to keep most of the time, and almost always. And it's not ego either, or me willingly desiring to make everything about me, but this all happening/being done to me 100% completely involuntarily, as I've all but completely killed my own ego by now, almost 100% completely. If it's supposed to be some form of communication, then I don't think it is at all meant for us human beings. And even if it was some form of communication, or I could make some sort of sense of it (which I can't, but if I could) then how could I ever be sure of the source really? Like I said, I don't think it's meant for us human beings. But this is why I wear headphones and listen to something else when I'm out in public, and am out among a bunch of these different sources that very much act like a lot of very, very different, always constantly changing and shifting voices to me actually. It's schizophrenic in a nutshell basically, and that is what it feels like when I'm out in public actually. So it's a very great limitation/mental disorder/disability, and there seems to be no way of eliminating it or completely getting rid of the problem right now 100% completely, because it's not me doing it to myself willingly. And even though I say all of this, there are still some of you who are going to think that I am somehow making this up, or am being dishonest, or am lying, or that it's not as bad as I'm making it out to be maybe, but I 100% guarantee you that you can't make something like this up, and unless you personally have or experience these problems yourself always, then you just don't know how debilitating/disabling they can be actually.
God Bless.
Another thing that I probably also need to mention about this, which has been/still is a side effect from some of the times that this has been disturbing, is also having/developing PTSD from it now actually, which also makes me sometimes anticipate any and all, especially unanticipated/unexpected noises, as sometimes potentially disturbing or triggering, so headphones is definitely the way to go for someone like me, as they are like a lifeline for me. I apologize to all of you that I can't seem to deal with it or handle it any better or differently.
God Bless.
(My mental health issues Part #2)
I'm saving this and these for the next time I see my therapist here in a few weeks.
For example, when I was talking with you last time and you mention dogs sometimes, I sometimes identify with them sometimes in my mind mentally, and when you mentioned your church choir leader last time, I identified with that or him for a minute last time temporarily, as if I was him, or was like him somehow, or in some kind of way actually, or that someone or something was trying to tell me that I was in some kind of way actually, but I was able to shut them, or those thoughts, or those voices, down, almost immediately, and so, it wasn't a big deal really, and none of you even knew that that was going on with me and in my mind at the time mentally. But, when I'm around a lot, or a lot of different sources/ones going on/off all of the time around me, my mind is doing this with all of them all of the time and constantly, and very, very fast with everything, and it's always changing or shifting voices/sources very, very, very quickly, and it's hard to shut them all down immediately all of the time usually. And sometimes, something happens with what's happening on the outside of me that let's me know that something, or someone, knew, or always knows, just exactly what was going on with me, or was happening right then to me at the time mentally, or with what I was just identifying with and how I was identifying with it, actually. Which can feel like a very great violation sometimes of my privacy, which can sometimes be very, very intimidating, or scary, and can sometimes trigger me all of the time and constantly, so that I'm always triggered, or am always on edge all of the time mentally, until I am out of that situation again actually. It can't all be true, but when I'm around a bunch of different sources constantly, I don't have the time to try to discern truth from fiction, which is why I just try to shut them all down immediately. Discerning the truth from fiction can take a lot of time actually, so unless I actually have the time to get a break, and sit around and think about it, and can remember a lot of what was just happening, I can't most of the time actually. Over the course of my total amount of time living with this mental disorder, or disability, I've identified as almost everyone and everything over my total course of time having this, and so I don't think there is any kind of way that all of it can be true ever, etc. And if it ever was or is, then I don't have any kind of idea as to what to say to that or about that ever exactly, etc. It took me quite a while to even be able to know that this is what was going on, or happening with me, and those times we're very, very bad, because they were also very, very confusing, so at least I know now what's happening, and can now write about it now, or tell it to the rest of you now, at least somewhat clearly.
God Bless.
When you, or me, or anyone identifies with something, you first have to ask yourself if you are in any way like that person, place, or thing, or animal, or not, in this specific situation or circumstance, or this specific context or not, exactly? And then also how, or in what kind of way (or ways) (multiple or plural) exactly? If there is even any kind of truth in it at all exactly? Which takes at least some time at least to be able to discern that, or figure that all out exactly? But that you also don't have the time for at the time when there is a lot of it happening or going on very, very quickly like it always happens or does to or for someone like me when there is a lot of different sources to potentially pick up on all of the time exactly. So, there is really no mystery anymore as to just exactly what is happening or going on anymore exactly, but it's more just exactly which way should you apply it, or just exactly what you're supposed to do with all of it all of the time exactly? Like I said earlier, I don't think it's possible for all of it to be true, and so that means that at least some of it has to be false, but with the way it happens to someone like me with a lot of different sources to potentially pick up on sometimes, there is not enough time to be able to figure that all out ever, or ever dwell too long on any one thing, or one or more of those things as quickly as they are/it is changing/happening, until you can get back out of that situation once again temporarily.
God Bless.
I think he or she is referring to reptilian rulers, but it doesn't fit with his or her profile.Which Imperial royal family?
I'll make sure I include you in the next oneAw man I’m kinda bummed I didn’t make your list![]()
I don't know why you spend so much time gathering up passages of Scripture just to condemn Israel? What Israel experienced was an example for the world. If Israel backslid, and she did, then Christian nations have done the same.Randy says that there is goodness in all, in a delayed or unrecognised manner. That would be fine, but once the testimony of Christ was told to the world, the commandment to repent was given to all men, so the sin that became death was unbelief.
No, that's not true. They only do that when they want to put on a show raid, like recently in Chicago or that pot farm on Ventura. I don't know what they thought they were up to at the Hyundai plant in Georgia, arresting a bunch of millwrights helping American workers learn about superior battery technology. I guess ICE doesn't care about encouraging foreighn investment in manufacturing.That's because we haven't had a president who has fully authorized them to do so. I know LEOs who were frustrated at them for NOT doing their job.
No he doesn't. Every single time ICE has used targeted enforcement. It seems you don't want them to go after illegals. They have done are doing legal enforcement activities. You just dont like it and want to tie their hands.
For many years nearly about half the illegals in the country have been visa overstays. This was ICE's main responsibility and they did almost nothing about it.No surprised.
