Are we not to be kind to one another? Does God enjoy the meek and humble or the prideful and arrogant? Does God want us to boast about earthly things? Should we forgive or condemn others? Is love not the most important thing we have from God through Jesus Christ? How can one assume so much about someone with knowing so little about them?
Just as intimate prayer, from the heart, to the Lord is very important. As such to commune personally, to one another, the love of God through His Word. Along with producing good fruit that makes our Eternal Father rejoice with gladness.
God Bless you all my brothers and sisters!
The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and not for any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). If it records in Rev. 12:9 that this whole world has been deceived, it did not speak of a particular country, group of people, person or religion, it meant the whole world.
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15) this whole world has been deceived and what mankind must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).
The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting), is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and there seems to be a great misconception what the true 'spiritual' meaning of the word is. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.
Only through Repentance will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1) and reveal to you how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and overcome this world ( 1 John 5:4).
The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It should be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
1. First, the Jewish groom barters with the father of the bride. They get together and they go back-and-forth, and barter as to what the deal is going to be.
2. Once they reach an agreement, the future bride is brought in. And if she approves of it, all three of them drink out of the covenant cup, which means from that time forward they are betrothed.
3. The groom goes back to his father's house to build their living quarters. It is built right off of the family home. And once the wedding takes place, and they are now married, they will go back to his family's home, and there will be living quarters that will be for them.
4. The father of the groom decides when the living quarters are done, and when he can go get his bride. What does that tell us? We don't know the time or the hour. It has to be a minimum of one year because it is a time of purity for her. The groom can go get his bride when his father decides it's time.
5. When the marriage announcement is made, catch this: the people who have already been invited to the wedding feast, they take their positions along the parade route, because the groom is going to get his bride. And there are people stationed in position all the way along the route. They join the parade as it passes by. It is called a parade.
6. When the groom reaches the bride's house, he stands at a distance and blows the shofar, the trumpet, for the bride to come out and meet him. And the wedding takes place at that time. Do you see anything in there about prophecy? The groom comes to get his bride, and he stands a ways off and blows the trumpet, and she comes out to meet him.
7. The parade goes back to the groom's house and the wedding feast begins. All of the guests in the parade gather in the Fellowship Hall, and the door is shut. This is not an open public thing.
Compare this to prophecy in Matthew Chapter 25
To allow a smile to linger on my lips,
To dwell within a wonderful memory,
To walk back through sunlit places.
Please help me to awake with hope,
To engage with life in all its variety,
To take in the beauty of others joys,
To touch the souls of those I meet with thankfulness.
Please help me to sing with faith,
To carry the truth close in my heart always,
To rejoice at new life and
To have peace as I age.
To taste the kindness of friendship,
To feel the warmth of embrace.
Please help me not to miss
A single drop of heaven,
To catch each moment
And drink in the great joy of life.
Please bring peace to this comment room today and always.
We ask and receive.
Your comments are a compilation of vain religious doctrines and commandments ( Matthew 15:9; Isa. 29:13; Col 2:18; 1 Timothy 1:6,7; Titus 1:14) that are not able to provide salvation to mankind.
Regardless of the thin air in Nova Scotia as described by Fred Scanlan, please do know that our website and Ministry in Christ moves very well with the Holy Spirit and was visited last year by people from over 160 countries. There are 193 countries in the world, while the Vatican and Palestine are observer States. Also, we much prefer to breath the cleaner air in Nova Scotia rather than the air out West.
Please remember: You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1).
You are currently travelling on a 'wide' road and be reminded that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:13,14). The emphasis is on the word 'few'.
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7). Don't let your self-righteousness stand in the way of your salvation ( Romans 10:3,4).
In His Service.

Hi RANDY LOGUE,
To continue my previous comment:
After the guards inside this place ushered me out, my father came out as well, looking worried. The guards and my father walked back with me until we reached that same border between two realms I had crossed earlier. Then it was time for me to cross back over, and say goodbye to my father (who was going to go back to the special guarded place with the guards). We said goodbye, and he asked me very sincerely to look after the family. Then I crossed back over, and I woke up.
What's also interesting about this dream is that for the short time I was both outside and inside of this special guarded place, I saw quite a lot of detail.
Firstly, when I reached this special place, I saw that it was surrounded by a 'living gate', made up of translucent-looking 'posts' that looked like they each were actually individual souls, pressed tightly together side by side, to form a massive circular gate around this area. Each soul of this gate had a human-looking shape, but without the finer details such as eyes, nose, hair, etc. And the moment I reached this place, I became aware that each of these posts is alive, that's how I realised that they're souls - in this environment, this was something that you just KNEW! And I imagine that's how my presence inside the place was detected so fast - these souls (angels?) must have sent the alert!
And entering this place was easy - I just walked through the gate like it was thin air, as my father had too.
Once I was inside this place, what I managed to see was that when my father walked in, he walked straight towards a specific area inside, and I could tell he knew this place well, he knew exactly where he was going. And the place was was busy and bustling with ordinary-looking people all going about their business, it was comparable to what you'd see in a high street. The guards who ushered me out were ordinary-looking people too.

Because you are separated from God and spiritually blinded you are not able to understand most of the content on our website ( 1 Cor. 2:14; John 8:43-45).
You are correct, mankind is lost. The Word of God teaches us so in Revelation 12:9 and the Word is God. are you going to argue with God over things you are not able to understand? The content of our website just explains how and by whom you have been deceived and what you must do to be reunited with the true and living God and how you are able to come to know the true Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).
Since you know not what manner of spirit you are of ( Luke 9:55), our message remains the same: Ye must repent and invite you to study what it means. If you are able to understand what it means to 'Repent' you will also be able to understand the Word of God and the content of our website. Right now it is all just a storybook, while in truth it is 'spiritually' discerned ( 1 Cor. 2:14).
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

I am a bit worried that I am not fully understanding of God will and following.
Should I be?
Faith is a substance hope for the evidence of things not seen.
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Reviewing all your vain 'Rhetoric' ( Matthew 15:9), it is obvious that your mind has been corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ ( 2 Cor. 11:3; 1 Timothy 1:3; 4:1; Hebr. 13:9; 2 Peter 3:17; Jude 4).
Please study who the 'Holy Ghost' is and what it means to sin against the 'Holy Ghost' ( Mark 3:29; Luke 12:10).
Matthew 9:12. They (the believers) that be whole need not a physician (Christ), but they that are sick (sinners). Trust us; the large majority of people on this website are 'not well'.
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

However, Rom 1:26 begins with, "For this cause". It was for those reasons, where they abused their knowledge (or thirst) for knowing God to turn to idolatry & worshipped wicked representations of Him instead. So God gave them up "to vile affections". I don't see this part as applicable to men & women being involved in debauchery within the temple worship. It clearly states, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet." (vv 26, 27).
Women changed the natural use (of their bodies) & likewise, men leaving the natural use of women by lusting after other men - men with men. Clearly, this is not a picture of temple prostitution but of homosexuality - a result of God giving them over to the wickedness of their hearts. But if you believe that the men "did what they did because they believed it drew them closer to the goddess", then it would take a 'long pull of the bow' to convince me that their acts could be carried out only for temple worship & not a reflection of their normal deviant behaviour. And verses 28-32 further describe their general condition & they stood under God's judgement. So we don't misquote the Bible, rather consider and quote from all the Scriptures with conviction. These are God's Words & those who wish to pursue lifestyles outside the purposes of God & with unconfessed sin, stand under His Judgement & not ours. Our only desire that all people might be saved, repenting of their sin & receiving new life from God.
