I thought straight away this is a joke as scriptures tell us only the father knows the time of his sons return and hes keeping it to himself he hasnt even told his son yet.Mark 13:32 This a mystery isnt God all knowing and isnt Jesus God it is a mystery.Yet I like that that is the case because it proves that the father is not the son and the son is not the father they are separate yet they are one just like the holy spirit.I have come across denominations that believe the father son and holy spirit are the one person i asked them how they can say that when Jesus was baptized we see 3 separate persons.We have enough information to know that we are in the last days the signs are present and increasing.Ever since Israel became a nation the countdown has begun.The verse the enemy will come like a thief in the night i have heard preached many times and i believe the preachers have got it wrong because they preach it from the view for the church to get there act together or you will miss out.This view is incorrect because if you are a born again believer following him in obedience and relying on the holy spirit you are not walking in darkness but are walking in the light so you will not be caught unaware as those who are sleeping this is a warning for those who are sleeping or walking according to the flesh they are in darkness.Remember the 10 wise virgins the ones who were alert and keep refilling there lamps went in with the bride those who slept were left behind and so it will be when the Lord returns.Now is the time to prepare our hearts and lives to be ready for his return.It is an exciting time to be living and we are to live in the expectation that the Lord could return at any time brentnz

Come on get real samson old testement its in there wilful sin my definition is walking away from the Lord and doing opur own thing knowing what you should do but still do what you want to do.In the life of Samson WE SEE Gods forgiveness and the sacrifice is the same as today repentence we are saved by the grace of God if we turn from our own way.He was disobedient to his parents and to the Lord his heart was no different from ours wilfully disobedient he chose sin over the Lord all the time sleeping with prostites and lying with foreign woman going his own way and yet God saves him not only that he was Gods chosen instrument to deliver his people.The sad part is his term was only 20 years if he had walking in the ways of the Lord he should have had that ministry for 40 years that is the term of completion.We cut ourselves short when we choose sin over the Lord which is an idol by the way.We all have those areas in our lives that we keep to ourselves thats wilful they are our demons and our comforters.Until we surrender all to the Lord we can not be overcomers and will be influenced by satan like samson it is clear warning to us wilful sin or making sin an idol in our lives has consequences better to serve the Lord with all our hearts even though samson did nt for much of his life God still showed him his grace and faithfullness.You can also see wilful sin in the Life of David yet God saves him but not all were saved in the life of saul as he wouldnt listen to the Lord and kept walking according to his flesh.

I think we agree on the fact that it is by faith that all are saved i have no problem with that and its in that that there is unity.You find within any christian modern church law can be mixed with Grace that is not peculiar to any domination maybe it is more extreme in some.Where there are believers there are works of the flesh such as pride and self reliance.I was thinking today the word says if we believe in our hearts and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord then you shall be saved.Its not a hard doctrine to believe thats in its basic form.The seventh day have tacked on to that belief adherence to the sabbath that is sadly how denominations spring up.In the anglican church we still recite the apostles creed how many church still do that today as a basis for there faith in Jesus Christ.Your statement that some are saved is just as true to those who go to modern christian churchs who say they are christian but walk according to the flesh..

That was the dilemma after praying and seeking the Lord he shows me a couple of things one is God calls the shots not satan satans demons bow to Gods authority and must get his permission so they beg Jesus to send the demons into the pigs.Jesus allows it so we can see satans purpose is always to destroy life.God is still the same yesterday today and forever he is the giver of life.We do know that the pigs were owned by the gentile nations and may well have been offered or about to be offered to there gods which would mean they would belong to satan.Like the example Jesus said about taxes should he pay them and he said give to caesar what is caesars.Or the other option was that it showed Gods mercy to the man that had been healed by delivering him of the demons and he was also protecting the people in the area from the influence of the demons.So God is still the same he is unchangeable and definitely not bipolar.I would say if anyone was bipolar in this situation it is David and he like us struggled with the same choice to walk according to the flesh or walk according to the spirit of God.brentnz

Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle in so do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is not to boast because of what i have done in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz
