Step by step.

First things first.

Let's consider 2 Thess. 2: 1 - 3 first, then the latter verses. Understanding these first 3 verses in the chapter will help us understand the latter verses.

2 Thessalonians

2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Please let me have your comment especially on the highlighted.

There is a lot of confusion stemming from inability to isolate "tribulation" from "the great tribulation". We may not foray into that now, but a quick question.
"Do you agree that the church will not meet the reign of the anti-christ?"

No, I don't agree. The Bible did not say so.

If the Church will not meet the antichrist why is he "antichrist"? Christ in heaven is untouchable. By your position the rapture also has taken place and therefore the Church too is untouchable.

That's why Satan created the "left behind" myth for antichrist to have some to deal with.

Go back and carefully study Matthew 24 on your own note especially verses 29 to 31. Ask yourself what event is v.31? Read also Revelation Chapter 6 and note especially the last verses and compare with vs.29-31 of Matthew 24.

Also 2Thess.2:1-3, Dan.9, Act.14:22.

Just search the scriptures and be like the Berean Christians.

Bless you.

You see how you abandon the word for error placing Church above God's word when God Himself exalts his word above His name!

Psalms 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Your Church is greater than God's name abi?

The Bible says let each man be personally fully persuaded.

Jesus said search the scriptures. It is your responsibility to do that not any man, pastor, bishop, etc for you!

Be like the Berean Christians and be responsible for your faith and conviction not because a man or Church said so.

The wages of sin (any sin and all sins) is (eternal) death.

lacum:
So people should agree to your own interpretation because you are the one God promised us that He will be with until the end of time. Please listen to the Church and avoid personal interpretation.

I will not listen to a Church or man of God to interpret the scriptures for me.

The Jews did and are still doing the same and missed it. This is the common plight of men who refuse to discover God and His word for themselves.

I can read the Bible by myself and I have the Holy Spirit to teach me and guide me not mere men nor religious institutions. They did not give birth to me spiritually. I was born (again) of God, of the Holy Spirit:

John

1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

1:12 But as many as received him (that includes me!), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Also:

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

realborn:
Thank you.

This piece blessed me, and led to further reading of the following:

Venial Sin
Mortal Sin
Grave Sin
Perfect contrition
Imperfect contrition
Absolution
Anathema

Thanks again

Error!

When you don't know the Bible as you ought and lack the teachings of the Holy Spirit but instead depending on an institution, her interpretations of the Bible and traditions of men.

The law of sowing and reaping applies here essentially in proportion to the sowing.

But all sins lead to eternal death ultimately.

I am no longer a sinner. I stopped being one the day I gave my life to Christ. I am NOW a saint.

To say you are still a sinner after you have given your life to Jesus is unfortunate.

Thank you!

It is difficult not to conclude that this alBagdagy is a wolf in sheep's clothing set to deceive gullible Christians.

Very wrong!

The deception of the Church for more than 150 years.

Promoted by Tim Laye et al.

Rapture will NOT take place just ANYTIME but only AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION!

Rapture is BEFORE the wrath of God NOT BEFORE the great tribulation.

Tribulation is the lot of God's people of all ages becoming most severe at the end implemented by the final and real antichrist possessed by Satan.

God's wrath is for those who reject God carried out by the Lamb of God.

Believers are promised escape from God's wrath not Satan's tribulation

God works in mysterious ways.

And we`re to follow?? I`m more concerned about tomorrow and the day after that.. We cant just loose the very values we have so much preserved watching "the world end"? America might be worse but they`re ahead of us in many aspects and they have good traits and great people we could copy. Why do we always enjoy the wrong things?

Like America like Nigeria like elsewhere there's the good, the bad and the ugly.

psalmsmiles:
The rate inwhich we African`s are loosing our moral decency is on an alarming daily rise. We are now free to say things which would have bemm imagined shameful 10 years ago.. People broadcasting their shameful immoral deeds all in the need to trend. Sometimes, i pause to ask myself what kinda world would be left for our kids to live in!! DESPICABLE if you`d ask me

End times!

Will get worse!

America sets the pace!

It is.

It's not today. It's 14th November!!!

World Diabetes Day is 14th November!!!

No wonder Yoruba says "Omo wa'se ori'se soja...."

God wants you to be holy - Yes

To be healthy - Yes

To be highly successful - Yes.

What God really wants is that each human be like Jesus in thought, attitude, word and character.

Maurice Ampaw, a controversial ‘celebrity’ lawyer who spoke during in an interview with Hitz FM’s Andy Dosty on his ‘Hitz Entertainment Review’ show, disclosed that 8 out of 10 pastors in Ghana are sleeping with married women.

The celebrity lawyer who stated that his basic problem with these pastors is that they are hypocrites who act as very holy people but do all the evil things behind the scene, added that they sleep with girls who are even below the legal sex having age in the country.

Maurice Ampaw who was campaigning for sex tourism to be legalized, added that many of the foreigners who have been visiting the country for tourism sleep with the ladies and pay them meager sums of money because the trade has not been legalized and institutionalized.  The lawyer who laid out ideas for sex tourism, disclosed that these ladies who will have plans to engage in the trade should be registered and medically screened by the government. After which they will be given a license and some fixed rates to work with.

He further stated that though these hypocrite pastors will oppose his idea of sex tourism and say it is a sin, however 8 out of 10 pastors in Ghana are sleeping with married women.

He must be God!

Does he even know the total number of pastors in Ghana.

Why do people make such sweeping statements and some equally funny people affirm what lacks rationality.

Christ is very partial ehnn.. Lol

Christ is not partial (neither is God).

God is creator of all. He gives us all things to remain alive and well.

BUT He wants us to enter into a higher level of relationship with Him by becoming His (adopted) children and Himself our Father BY CHOICE.

We are His creatures not by our personal choice. It was the will of our biological parents.

We become His children, however, when we ask Him to through a spiritual birth (born again) and come directly under His care with special promises, rights and privileges.

Except a man is born again...= Except a man is born of (by)(the Spirit of) God...= ....Except God gives birth to...= Except God becomes your Father...you can't enter the Kingdom of God.

It is this Fatherhood, this Father-Child relationship that makes it appear as if God is partial.

We are all creatures of God. But we are not all children of God.

Are you a child of God? I became one in 1983.

I share your pain sir! May God comfort you and your family.

If true (it is not unlikely that it is true) only those not in Christ will suffer consequences. Ditto for pants, bra, etc

Matthew

10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.


10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Only God knows the perpetrators and the motive. It may just be made to look like kidnapping and rituals. May be something else.

Please God have mercy on us. Help us.

What do you think happens when you die?
Surprise me.

The one who should know says:


Luke

16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Now you know!

When adults refuse to do the job, God can use children.

Remember He used a donkey the last time to talk to a belligerent prophet.

Matthew

21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Jesus says, 'Let the children come to me'. He loves the children.

I believe this boy must also be in school.

Matthew

21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

Psalms 8:2

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
