The coming of the Son of man/Signs of the end of the Age

reply to post by fonenyc


I think you're neglecting an important aspect of telling others about Christ. Consider the parable of the Seed.
We never know where the seeds we plant may grow,or whether they will get whisked away and not take root,but that should not be a hindrance. Someone else may come along and water it,someone else shed light on it,and God may bring it to fruition at just the right time.

Luke chapter 8: 4-21: The Parable of the Seed
.
"Now this parable is this: the seed is the word of God. And those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved. And those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. And the seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. And the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance...."


Here's a nice little sermon I just found,about being a Watchman,and why...

There were two specific warnings that the watchman was to bring. First, he was to “warn the wicked from his wicked way” (3:18). There are at least two noteworthy points about that warning. First, it is interesting that while God’s judgment demanded that the wicked face punishment (5:5-17), His love and patience called for a warning to first be given. Jehovah’s desire is always that those lost in sin come to repentance and salvation (33:14-16; II Peter 3:9). It is also interesting that Ezekiel was told up front that his warnings to the wicked would not be received (3:7-11). To think, this man would devote his earthly existence to a work that would to a large extent be unfruitful! Yet that was the nature of being a watchmen. Regardless of the outcome, they could “never hold their peace” and were to “keep not silence” (Isaiah 62:6).

The second specific exhortation was to “warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin” (v.20). If an army or city found themselves enjoying a period of peace and comfort, did that mean the watchman was no longer needed? Of course not! The possibility of trouble was always present. In like manner, just because some of the Jews might have been spiritually righteous at the time did not mean they were immune to pitfalls in the future (33:13,18). As Paul would later write, “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” (I Corinthians 10:12).

Did Ezekiel’s warning guarantee that the wicked would repent or that the righteous would remain steadfast? No, but that was not to be the focus of the watchman. His duty was to exhort, not enforce. To proclaim, not predict. If his listeners failed to heed the warning, they would answer to God Himself. If he failed to give the warning, He would do the same.

Remember in Acts 4:18,when Peter and John were told not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus,they replied,"...we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard".

But just because someone doesn't feel compelled to speak out,that's not to say they don't have other gifts that are equally pleasing in God's sight. We are all different parts of the same body,with different but equally important tasks,correct?

there is such a thing as "sin" and to not acknowledge it is to stumble into further oblivion no matter how logical you sound describing religion and historical prophets..

I assume you're referring to when I said this:

He wants people to believe they are god of their own lives and that there will be no judgement,no condemnation. No need for salvation! No such thing as Sin!

You might have misunderstood the way that was written. It's supposed to read as though Satan is the one saying "There is no sin! There is no need for salvation!..."

Jesus was furious for all things that were not right.
Angry to the third degree. He knocked over the tables in the temple where they were selling pigeons with the words; thy shalt not make the house of my Father a place for selling. Jesus was righteous which means to punish what is wrong and to look rejoice which is good. Do you feel, do you understand?

He said he was the son of God because God commanded Simon to say so. Jesus also stated; all the I am you are too, and even more.

tell the people Jesus died for us, keep it in mind, Jesus gave his life for our sins.

blessed thy art with these words.

The holy Script was the first book written out of God with the intention to clarify.
because

God was furious and angry on the children of Jeruzalem and Israël for their continious sinning and prostitution. After several warnings the Lord decided to put an effort to it.
He is rightfull. Just he Is. Abandoning His ways leads to hell. Fear the Lord for your life is in His Hand.

This Satanic nonsense led very directly to the demonization of "the Jews" and the slaughter of millions of Jews during the Holocaust.

Jesus was murdered because of the Doctrine that he taught: the Doctrine of 'Rebirth', referred to as the Doctrine of "resurrection".

This is what neither the Pharisaical-Jewish nor the Pharisaical-Christian religious 'authorities' want you to understand because it would threaten Judaeo-Christianity, Inc.

This is also the principal motivation behind the entire 'Dead Sea Scrolls scandal': preventing it from being widely known that Jesus was the author of the Thanksgiving Hymns of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which demonstrate the Doctrine of "resurrection" as a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'.

Consider the script false and you will lose what is true and right. The bible is full of right things and teachings. Your heart is fulfilled by reading it. What you need to do in life, save friendship etc. That you should do first then further you can read the bible. But the bible states on its own that not everyone is able to understand the script, that's why there are people here who can to help those others out, fso if there are questions, just ask, I can too help you out.

Correct what is wrong, Acknowledge what is right!

Let us have a happy hearts.

Jesus was with God in the beginning when they created earth and men. They said to oneanother let us create man alike us.

The root of religion is God.

The origin of the Torah, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, the Gospels (including the Gospel of Mary), the Revelation of John and the Quran are two very specific Revelations: The Vision which, ultimately, would be termed the Vision of the "Son of man" (Daniel), and the Revelation which, ultimately, would be referred to as the Revelation of the "resurrection" (Isaiah) consisting of the Revelation of the Memory of Creation and the revelation of the memories of previous lives.

Well, of course, the root of everything is God; including both the Vision of the "Son of man" and the Revelation of the "resurrection".

But that simple statement alone does not carry sufficient meaning.

The Knowledge of the existence of God is made clear through very specific Revelations.

If it isn't bad enough that you people teach this ridiculous deluded nonsense to little children and warp their minds you now want to infect the weak minded that visit ATS who will believe any old bible nonsense.


Dude, the bibles have been debunked as prophetic time and again you can draw the same conclusions and find morally equal sayings reading Cat In Th Hat.

Get a grip jesus is imaginary and lives in your mind not in the sky !
