christian Suited up and Armored in Christ! User ID: 6038128 United States 11/18/2012 04:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Pastor is teaching from the Book of Psalms currently.. Quoting: christian He really does not teach about the end times nor repentenance. He does teach on the scriptures... It is a non-denominational christian church... Yet you still throw him 10% of your money like "god" asks... Let me ask you, when is the last time the church helped you out in your life? Yes I tithe to my my church as a joyful act to GOD..It is my pleasure as to my sacrafice as to living in the spirit... Why dont you take 10% of your monthly earning and but food and clothing for a homeless shelter instead of giving it to some pastor? I know where it goes...I am involved in the Church's Rescue Mission.... I see the people that come in droves that have no faith, no religion who come to the church for support..Food, Clothing shelter and even Medical Services donated by the Doctor's of the church...

Well that is great and im sure there are alot of great people at your church. I just wish you guys would wake up nd realize that you have brainwashed since birth to believe in a religion that hs been controlling civilizations since constantines reign.

They treat God like he's Santa Claus. Pray and ya shall receive. They REFUSE to acknowledge crooked politicians because they don't want to lose their 501c3 TAX FREE STATUS. They don't preach repentance. They don't preach about what is happening in Israel. They don't preach about all of the prophecy that is taking place right in front our eyes. They refuse to acknowledge societal corruption, especially sexual sin. They seem to be alllllll about prosperity. Preaching about praying to find a better job and you will come through the trials with a better job because that's the most important thing in life??? WTF is that!! They lead the sheep astray. I for one, am annoyed. Rant Over. you'll be even more annoyed if they've been teaching you the rapture doctrine, when you come to find your salvation depends upon your knowing the truth in that regard quite specifically in this final generation. if they haven't taught you the truth of what happened in the garden but rather inferred that an apple had something to do with it or made it very clear to you regarding the three entirely different AGES or eons of time which are referenced in the word, which are all part of Gods plan from beginning to end consecutively then you can't possibly have any idea what's going on in any regard as you won't know to which Age any of the words are referring at any given time throughout the text/manuscripts. some of the word references the first earth Age, some the second, and some with reference to the third earth Age, which in and of itself is divided into two separate periods of time with specific purpose and rules outlining each. if you arent' clear on what happened in the beginning, long before this second earth Age came into being, there is no way in hell you can understand what's yet to come, or why it is. if you cannot "rightly divide the word" with reference to the three different dispensations of time - you are entirely lost to begin with. if you don't know what actually occured in the garden, or about the sixth and eighth day creations, you don't even know who you are or the part you play in the word. if you did you'd know when it was referencing you specifically, and when it was referencing others likewise. it becomes much more personal in that light as you then know when He is speaking directly to you and when he is referencing others, among other things. sad but true while these preachers will be judged both first and most harshly for having misrepresented themselves in this regard, it sure won't help you overcome at the end of this particular Age we are presently in. overcoming from the 6th Trump forward to the end of this Age at the 7th Trump requires much more than it did prior to same. this generation is under entirely different qualifications than any prior generations have EVER been under, and it's all given to us in the word. the worlds greatest conspiracy is that which is ongoing in the worlds churches. it's on each of us to dig deeper and find the truth, or suffer the consequences accordingly. why do you assume there will be so much weeping and gnashing of teeth at the 7th Trump, if not for something so hugely misconstrued as to have deceived even the most diligent students of the word? the most devout christians will be shocked speechless when Christ turns to them and tells them that "He never knew you." ; ( |

Jesus never promised a life of luxury and prosperity, in fact He promised a lifetime of persecution, suffering and even death. All of his 12 apostles died horrific deaths. And yet many christians today expect to live in luxury. Mind boggling. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 20657814 United States 11/18/2012 05:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is really funny is that most Christians I know love these prosperity pastors. They all think they are going to heaven too. Boy, are they in for a shock. I truly believe that God will only save a very few. Jesus said it. The road is very narrow and only a FEW go to heaven. Broad is the road to destruction. Real Christians know that we have to be perfect for God to love us. Don't get me wrong. We do make a few mistakes but when we repent of our sins, we don't backtrack and do them again. After a while, as we get older, we no longer sin because we have repented of every sin and we go and sin no more. Why would God welcome SINNERS into heaven? He wouldn't. We have to have been perfected before we enter heaven. We are sinless because we have no pride, we have given up all our worldly goods to the poor, we love our enemies dearly, we would give our lives for our enemies, we are not hypocrites, like those Pharisees. We envy no one. We have no greed, lust, we never gossip about others, we are clean on the outside AND the inside. So that explains why God only saves a few. It takes a lot of work to be perfect. Jesus said, "Be perfect as my father in heaven is perfect." I know I am perfect because God looks at me as sinless. I know all of you are too. Too bad that most of the people in today's churches are going to hell where they will be in torment forever. LOL, oh the irony. |

I suggest if you are unhappy with your church to shop around. Look at web pages, make phone calls. Some of them are decent and edifying. The day may come that there is no gasoline to go to church, and no internet. Don't take the current opportunity for granted if you can possibly find a caring praying church. |

That is what the 4th seal is all about. The Lord can't have the Western Laodicean's corrupting all His new converts in the 5th Seal. So He will retire them early by spitting them out of His mouth in the 4th Seal. This will start in the Fall of 2015, when the 3rd seal is completed and people are working a day for a loaf of bread. Uncle PS:I know it is hard to believe me on the timing. Just watch the food prices. When they get to a day's pay for a quart of wheat, you will know the 3rd seal is done and obviously the 4th will follow. |

Are there not seven churches; seven seals; seven trumpets; seven plagues? Are there not 1260 days nor 42 months? Let's just redefine it all. Maybe Jacob never even had twelve sons. Jesus never had twelve disciples. Maybe the entire Bible does not mean what it says. Maybe it is all just an esoteric mystery and we need a guru like yourself to interpret it to us.

Preachers are to the unregenerate. 2. The word Pastor is only mentioned once in the Scriptures and there is no job description of what this Shepard even does. Why is this man the most important person in the room? 3. Some unknown author (Hebrews) told the Hebrew believers not to forsake the assembly(not church). Probably didn't want to fellowship with Gentiles. It doesn't mean you must "go to church". 4. I bet the large majority of people in your edifice are unregenerate so since there is no fellowship with unbelievers, why go? 5. Sheep are timid pasture dwellers and goats are mountain climbers, so who are these men who have climbed there way to the top of the machine of church? Why are they the only ones to share? If others have the same Spirit, why can't all talk? I know the "Guardians" of the Beast called church will go ballistic and cast heaps of accusations at me. I just want those that are His to consider these thoughts and follow Him and not men. Wolves like to herd their victims into groups so they can kill all. |
