You do know that Muslims and Dispy/Futurists share a dark vision of eschatology that is resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy, don't you?
Don't you???
There is absolutely no scriptural reason for any Christian to buy into this garbage and yet this nonsense is a multi-million dollar cottage industry from which the likes of Joel Richardson, Hal Lindsey, Jack van Impe, and others profit.
They are profiting from the ignorance of Christians too lazy to do the heavy-lifting of Bible study themselves, which is why so many lost their possessions and faith when Harold Camping was proven wrong (again!)
And I see people on web boards all over the place parroting this same ignorant nonsense these false teachers spread. It makes me sick to see so many in the church mislead by this garbage.
Hi stormcrow, from your post I draw the conclusion that you are independent completely in your end time theology, what is written you have drawn conclusions from. Independance is strong but inter dependence is stronger, more efficient and better, and do you know that this is the very model that the bible advocates, the body of Christ many members but the Body, with your thinking you must be apostle, prophet and teacher all in one, quite a secure place right?
There are prophets today who defined what is coming upon the earth right now, the judgments the Lord is bringing, the anti Christ kingdom the increase in magnitude 7 earthquakes over previous decades. But you continue to scoff.
Humility and dependence on your other brothers and sisters in Christ are what will sustain you in these years before the Lords return.
Do you know that when a Muslim, mosque moves into an area, they practice supernatural Shia law to bring the location into a form of spiritual bondage. That they operate predominately between the hours of 10:30pm -4:00am to carry these occult practices. Look at Europe, look at the UK, they do not integrate into the areas they move to but rather seek to dominate, they do this by saturating the area they are targeting. It is agenda driven. They use occult practices against those selling properties to gain financial advantage, it is wickedness. The concern for me the church is largely oblivious.
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
