Shouldn't we be keeping on the watch rather than taking no note due to it seeming to delay?(Matthew 24:37-39) For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.(Mark 13:36, 37) in order that when he comes suddenly, he does not find you sleeping. 37 But what I say to you, I say to all: Keep on the watch.”(Habakkuk 2:3) For the vision is yet for its appointed time, And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it! For it will without fail come true. It will not be late!  less

    WHY CERTAIN MIRACLES NO LONGER OCCUR
    Various kinds of miracles are mentioned in the Bible. (Exodus 7:19-21; 1 Kings 17:1-7;18:22-38; 2 Kings 5:1-14; Matthew 8:24-27; Luke 17:11-19; John 2:1-11; 9:1-7) Many of these miracles served to identify Jesus as the Messiah, and they proved that he had God’s backing. Jesus’ early followers displayed miraculous gifts, such as speaking in tongues and discernment of inspired utterances. (Acts 2:5-12; 1 Corinthians 12:28-31) Such miraculous gifts were useful for the Christian congregation during its infancy. How so?
    Well, copies of the Scriptures were few. Usually, only the rich possessed scrolls or books of any sort. In pagan lands, there was no knowledge of the Bible or of its Author,...    less

I had an acquaintance that I met in karate a long time ago. Shortly after I met him I ran in to him and his girl friend at a bar I used to frequent. We became real good friends sparring together, going running in the mornings together and on weekends to the bar. He drank a lot at the bar but I didn't drink much back then as I was in to health. It used to puzzle me that he could stay out so late and drink so much and then meet in the morning for a run. He overdosed on black tar heroin. I didn't even know he was doing drugs. I went to his funeral and the preacher implied that he maybe in hell. He said something to the affect that we are not the judge and that God may have mercy on his soul.

    Are you really that dishonest? I can understand you being misled but that's just dishonest. Where did I say that I wouldn't protect my wife?(2 Corinthians 4:3-5) If, in fact, the good news we declare is veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. 5 For we are preaching, not about ourselves, but about Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake.Mt 15:14EDIT: You seem to have changed the subject again. This was my question and you don't have to answer it just like you haven't answered my other questions but be honest and stay with the comment you are responding to rather than deflect.  less

    How Daniel’s Prophecy Foretells the Messiah’s Arrival




    THE prophet Daniel lived more than 500 years before the birth of Jesus. Nevertheless, Jehovah revealed to Daniel information that would make it possible to pinpoint the time when Jesus would be anointed, or appointed, as the Messiah, or Christ. Daniel was told: “You should know and understand that from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be 7 weeks, also 62 weeks.”—Daniel 9:25.
    To determine the time of the Messiah’s arrival, first we need to learn the starting point of the period leading to the Messiah. According to the prophecy, it is “from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem.” When did this “issuing of the word” take place? According to the Bible writer Nehemiah, the word to reb...    less

    Putin Signs Measure Revoking Religious Freedom: ‘Most Restrictive in Post-Soviet History’
    Russian President Vladimir Putin signed legislation this week that severely restricts freedom of religion by prohibiting any religious speech or evangelization outside of places of worship.
    “This new situation resembles the Soviet Union in 1929. At that time confession of faith was permitted only in church,” said Dr. Hannu Haukka, president of Great Commission Media Ministries, reports National Religious Broadcasters (NRB). “Practically speaking, we are back in the same situation. These anti-terrorist laws are some of the most restrictive laws in post-Soviet history.”
    The new law, which goes into effect July 20, is actually an amendment to a package of laws against terrorism and extremism approved by the Russian Parliament’s upper chamber. As a result of the legislation, faith sharing in homes, in the media, online, or any place other ...    less

    WHY CERTAIN MIRACLES NO LONGER OCCUR
    Various kinds of miracles are mentioned in the Bible. (Exodus 7:19-21; 1 Kings 17:1-7;18:22-38; 2 Kings 5:1-14; Matthew 8:24-27; Luke 17:11-19; John 2:1-11; 9:1-7) Many of these miracles served to identify Jesus as the Messiah, and they proved that he had God’s backing. Jesus’ early followers displayed miraculous gifts, such as speaking in tongues and discernment of inspired utterances. (Acts 2:5-12; 1 Corinthians 12:28-31) Such miraculous gifts were useful for the Christian congregation during its infancy. How so?
    Well, copies of the Scriptures were few. Usually, only the rich possessed scrolls or books of any sort. In pagan lands, there was no knowledge of the Bible or of its Author,...    less

I had an acquaintance that I met in karate a long time ago. Shortly after I met him I ran in to him and his girl friend at a bar I used to frequent. We became real good friends sparring together, going running in the mornings together and on weekends to the bar. He drank a lot at the bar but I didn't drink much back then as I was in to health. It used to puzzle me that he could stay out so late and drink so much and then meet in the morning for a run. He overdosed on black tar heroin. I didn't even know he was doing drugs. I went to his funeral and the preacher implied that he maybe in hell. He said something to the affect that we are not the judge and that God may have mercy on his soul.

Catholics in America trying to kill Catholics from England or Catholics from England trying to kill Catholics in America? (I'd say neither side were following Jesus and the Christian covenant as set out in the Christian Greek scriptures as I have already proven.You are a little more clear in your other for instance in fighting against the Catholics and others in German and against the Japanese in WWII. Just think if Catholic Churches in Germany didn't preach the faithful in to the trenches, there would have been no holocaust or WWII.Christians on the other hand have faith in God and Jesus and the biblical resurrection.(Matthew 16:25) For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.EDIT: Quote: Shouldn't that be directed to you? You're the one that would kill your brothers based on where they live, yes? Are not the Catholics in Germany that you would kill just as much Catholic as you?Christians are known for...    less

Does context not mean anything to you? If it is not in a religious context eg: use of religious titles, then sense it came from Jesus wouldn't a good Catholic not even call his birth dad father?What does Mt 23:9 mean to you? Just some more words by Jesus that have no meaning to a Catholic?Do you think that forbidding priest from marrying is a good thing in light of 1 Tim 4:1-3? Paul called that "teachings of demons".  less

Is that the reason he didn't always answer idiotic questions? Here, I will put it in bold for you this time:

    Not that I have to answer any of your idiotic questions just like Jesus didn't respond to all of the idiotic questions asked by your first century counter parts.It's a well know question? You're an IDIOT. Of course I wouldn't just sit there and let someone rape my wife. You want to answer this question now? This should really be a well known question based on the fruits of forbidding priest from marrying and putting them on pedastals with religious titles and such: If your little boy is being raped by a priest, is he safe having you for a father?(1 Tim 4:1-3) However, the inspired utterance says definitely that in later periods of time some will fall awa...    less
