Mattew 10:23

omojeesu:
Matthew 24 is about the end times not just any generation. The last generation of believers in association with Daniel's 70th week and the abomination that makes desolate, the final antichrist.

Please let us wake up as Christians. Let's stop deceiving ourselves. We have been lied to that great tribulation is not for us. That rapture will take place just anytime contrary to Jesus and the Apostles teaching on the subject matter.

Adakintroy:
Like I said be guided by the spirit. All generation witness their form of tribulations. Christ told his own deciples. That when they are pesecuted in one town, that they should flee to another. But hear this, He assured them that surely they would not have gone through all the towns before the son of man returns. Where are all the deciples, they are all dead.were is christ?

Be guided by the spirit. some things are literal others are riddles.

TruthinAction:
Right on point. This is the truth a large percentage of the Church are ignorant of. The only thing I would like to add is that rapture will also take place for a few selected Jews at the middle of the tribulation. This is the 144,000 revealed in Revelation chapter 7 and where later seen in heaven in Revelation chapter 14.

There are two future rapture and two future great tribulation.

TruthinAction:
OK. Just follow me. I will open a thread exclusively on this topic with scriptural evidences. Let me look at next week. I am really choked with activities this week.

TruthinAction:
I understand your point but Jesus was referring to all the Jews. If you read carefully in context, you will know that he was talking about the Jews. Salvation was not yet extended to the Gentiles yet and even Jesus didn't know the secret plans God had to include us. Please just read more. I am a professor in eschatology teaching. I can outline all the events in chronological order beginning from the Rapture to the creation of the new heaven and the new earth. They are about 30 distinct events all together.

Britstar:
The word 'rapture' doesn't exist in the Bible. The concept of the rapture itself is a latter day infusion into Christianity especially aided by the Left Behind series of movies. Logically, of what use is the antichrist when satan himself is described as the god of this world? If Christians are or the Church is removed through a supposed rapture, and the antichrist is unveiled, of what benefit is that to satan when the target of the antichrist is already removed?! The errant theology espoused by purveyors of the strange concept of rapture originates from the literal interpretation of the passages referenced.

MuttleyLaff:
Nope.
First and foremost, they will no more be death
and then no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has conceived the exciting things that has been prepared

MuttleyLaff:
Be humble and in awe.
Too many people are full of opinions, with knowing less than half the facts. SMH.

If its a walk in the park, creating a universe, why dont you create one and lets see how good, pretty and dandy yours will be.

Is there anything He did a rich and good job on?





What a better place it'll be, if us humans naturally have love, compassion and empathy.
It's comforting to know that, in the end,
the universe will be one "tribe", "race", religion, nirvana, utopia, paradise, Eden revisited all rolled into one

The Apostle Paul wrote Timothy, "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities." (1 Timothy 5:23) Many refer to this passage during their attempts to justify drinking intoxicating or alcoholic wine. But what's odd to me is that regardless of how much one intends to drink, he/she attempts to justify it by quoting what Paul told Timothy. How odd it is that they correctly quote Paul's advice, and then it is conveniently explained away, corrupted, and twisted to suit their own fleshly desires.
There are some questions for which we need answers.
1. What does the Scripture teach about alcohol consumption?

2.Can a Christian abstain, or have the right to drink alcohol (wine) if he so chooses?

3.What does GOD say about the matter?

Paul was talking to Timothy, not to people today. The conditions were such that Timothy could no longer drink water. I have been to villages were water in some places are not fit drinking because of the germs and bacteria it contains. If one drinks it, he will become sick to his stomach. This is probably what was happening to Timothy. Today, I take along medicine that the doctor gives me just in case I accidentally drink some contaminated water. In Timothy's day they had not made the medical advances we have today. Paul's suggestion to Timothy regarding the medicinal use of wine has nothing whatsoever to do with the practice of social (wine) drinking today.

Second, the wine was to be used for medicinal purposes, "For thy stomach's sake." How many people drink wine for their stomach's sake? We take medicines for our infirmities (diseases), but once the illnesses are gone, we stop taking the medicines the doctors prescribed for them. The same would be true in Timothy's case. Once the infirmity vanished, he probably ceased to take the wine as medicine, just as we would do today.
Third, LOOK at the word little.it means "small, of things with regard to size or quantity." How much medicine do we usually take when we're sick; perhaps a teaspoon or tablespoon full? Or maybe a little more? Do those of you who advocate drinking wine drink a little? And do you drink it as a remedy for some illness you have? If not, why do you drink it?

Fourth, look at Eve's deception. Satan deceived her by lying. Eve knew that God commanded them not to eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, lest they die. But Satan told Eve, "Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be like gods, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:4,5)
Satan got Eve to disobey God by telling her a lie and getting her to believe it. He convinced her that it was all right to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, even though God had forbidden it. Likewise, Satan convinces many today that it is all right to drink wine (other than for medicinal purposes), even though God forbids it. Notice what God said about fermented drink: "Wine is a mocker strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is NOT WISE." (Proverbs 20:1) Notice also the warning about the intoxicating effects of wine found in Proverbs 23:29-35. The passage clearly states that those who are "DECEIVED" into thinking it is all right to drink wine are "NOT WISE!" Could it be any clearer?
Since we are on the subject of deception, let's observe the marriage feast in Cana where Jesus turned water into wine, or did he turn it into booze? (John 2:1-11) Many believe, because of Satan's deception, that Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, turned water into an alcoholic beverage so the men could become drunk (immoral; Galatians 5:19-21). Do we really believe that Christ would go against His Father's teaching; that He used His miraculous power to produce about 120 gallons of intoxicating wine, which the Holy Spirit denounced as "a mocker" and as "the poison of dragons"? The burden of proving this lies with those who accuse Jesus of turning water into intoxicating wine. John said nothing about Jesus committing such an immoral act. To think that God's Son turned water into an intoxicating wine, so that men might become drunk, is not only ridiculous, it also shows ignorance of the Scriptures. Let's notice some things about the incident.
We learn that Jesus arrived on the third day of the wedding feast. In those days, a marriage feast lasted seven days, with guests arriving each day. Family friends who arrived during the seven days of festivity were served refreshments. If the family failed to provide adequately for their guests, it was considered a social disgrace, not to mention that someone might file a lawsuit against the bridegroom's family. Such a social error would never be forgotten and would haunt the newlyweds throughout their lives. That's why we hear the urgency in Mary's voice, "They have no wine." (2:3) Jesus' mother could not imagine Him allowing the newly wedded couple to undergo the humiliation of having an inadequate supply of wine to offer their guests.

Geeklady:
Shut up! Is it not the same country gala sellers and pure water sellers and market women dey? Are they not surviving and living? The issue is many Nigerian youths are very greedy and lazy to the core. They want it big without working for it. This country will continue to be backwards if people like you keep thinking the government will solve their problems.

LordReed:
We've confirmed no such thing. If we have it won't be necessary for this thread to ask us what type of evidence of gods we would require. All books that we know of were written by men including the one you claim confirms a god so please produce the evidence that confirms this god.

Meanwhile whether the weapon was built in my backyard or bought from abroad, its efficacy against horses and chariots is not in question, gods on the other hand can produce themselves and allow us to test our weapons against their claims.

LordReed:
Fairytales won't produce such a land, that's for sure.

LordReed:
I don't think being all good can be a characteristic that will determine a god's existence. For all we know maybe it is a capricious god that's why we have so much pain in this universe. Maybe its not even all powerful or maybe there are more than one and they keep killing themselves off.

My personal favorite is the gods are afraid of our weapons. If gods are still using horses and chariots while men have tanks, submarines and airplanes, maybe the gods are afraid to challenge us for fear we will mow them down in a hail of bullets, shells and missiles. LMFAO!

LordReed:
LoL! Now I know you are just trolling. Happy trolling. LMFAO!

An Israeli doctor said: "In Israel, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's liver put them on another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work."

The German doctor says: "That's nothing,
in Germany we took part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."

The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we take half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."

The Nigerian doctor laughed: "You all are behind us. Three years ago, we took a man with no brains, no heart, and no liver and made him President.

Now, the whole country is looking for work!

LordReed:
Maybe you didn't understand what I wrote. I never wrote that scientists would do anything but test the god as it is doing its thing. Read it again and understand it.

LordReed:
Well I don't see how what you wrote has anything to do with what I wrote.

LordReed:
Huh? Are sure you meant to reply to me?
