ZIONICA.com : Hell was a Hot Topic in 2011

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:36:17 +0000

Hell may not be what we think but its not likely to be empty either. For one thing we know it was made for fallen angels so that confirms that. Deuteronomy 27:18 Cursed is he who misleads a blind man on his way. All the people shall say, Amen. This is pretty straight forward for even a child to understand. On the serious things He does usually make it pretty clear. Matthew 7:13 Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. Matthew 7:14 But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. 15Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves. 21Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. If the father has another way to come to Him then he made it rather confusing when Jesus said: John 14:5-7 Amplified Bible (AMP) 5 Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way? 6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. 7 If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen Him. Amen I am sticking with Jesus Words not another.

Science or Scripture does not change but our understanding them of them do. I will trust the Scriptures and Holy Spirit every time. http://creation.com/location-in-universe

ZIONICA.com : Yet one more reason to leave the Catholic Church

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:58:30 +0000

Being the most consistent is good but all it takes is one of mans misinterpretations to create a black hole. I am not saying it is but why does everyone claim the same level of understanding the best? I wonder who claims the simplest to understand I would consider them one of the greatest understanding of the word.

Does your group has the only truth too, seems to be a common trait among many religious groups. If I remember right the Father was not that happy with the Jews because they did not want to share it Him with others. I don't remember ready about any calvinist, catholics, protestants or evangelicals in the Bible. No where did I see a man made denomination unless is was been corrupted.

Like I said above they believe they hold the truth and no one else does. Actually I don't think Jesus the Jew ever went to Rome and if I remember right it was a roman the so called 1st citizen that claimed Christianity not Jesus claiming him. It was all about politics and with a little study its easy to understand the historical facts. I see nothing in the Bible to support an Italian based Christianity on the contrary. Until you see Jesus as the leader on the earth and not a man standing in his place will you be standing on Holy Ground. God chose Israel not Rome to spread the news, Israel has not been replaced and is not on hold any more either. We the believers are the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit not a building in Rome.

The division started in the beginning look at Pauls writing and warnings that the anti-christ was already at work. The enemy will always be at work but to think its all based on the Catholic Church or Universal Church or one world Church is pretty prideful to say the least. JUST SO YOU KNOW THIS JESUS WAS A JEW A RABBI AND WHEN HE RETURNS HE RETURNS TO JERUSALEM AS A JEW NOT TO ITALY AS THE POPE! Another tool of the devil: The problem with Catholic teaching is they sow discord by claiming they are the only way to Jesus not that Jesus is the only way to the Father.

The Church is the people not a religious association, denomination or man made control system. Coming out of the Roman Catholic church has nothing to do with leaving our 1st love Jesus. Its not about Mary, Peter or the Pope its only about our personal relationship with Jesus without all the man made traditions and rituals that can be added too confuse the truth. I will personally be happy to see the house church start to flourish in the USA so we can be free to worship in Spirit like the early church was before Rome created a bureaucratic and religion of the whole thing. I have little doubt the remnant church headed for the hills when Rome took over sadly many came back to contribute the one world system.

I don't think that explains the miraculous existence of Israel and the prophetic promises that came to pass or a boat load of others things your science of materialism tries to explain away. I am sure you will stand on chance and circumstance and blood sweat and tears at this point again but its your choice.

None if you know the end from the beginning. None if you know what the result of not stepping into a murderous world that is ready to destroy the last of the faithful and clean to repopulate yes the 8 that was left . How about to stop the madness that always follows when godless man rules the world. Yes history proves my point your hope in man is worthless when man comes to the end of himself he finds only finds himself alone forever.

If we are wrong we lose nothing if you lose its eternity gone wrong for you so don't think so highly of yourself. The bet you make is a foolish one built on false presumptions and pride. Never bet more than you can afford to lose Jeff that even a child can understand.

Since you do not know Him or His eternal purposes I can understand your confusion. Its our lack of knowledge and understanding that is the stumbling block not the Love of God.

Your point is understood, actually his blessing and protection through the Holy Spirit is what has been removed. But there is a place that We chooses He not to be and that would be "Hell and unbelieving Hearts" not because that is His will but because its the will of unbelievers. Similar to the fact he can cast your sin into the sea or blot it out to be white as snow if you choose to receive so Great a Salvation but he will not force you or trick you into living with him. So he has prepared a place for those that want NO part with Him. Just what kind of place do you think it would be if LOVE left the building?

Paul said he would use any means to preach the Gospel, he cares not if pretenders preach also the truth he would even use unbelievers if it brought people to Christ to bad so many Christians don't believe or know this. So many believers out of fear, pride or confusion believe its their "Calling to Attack Others" 1st instead of Attracting the lost by using the opportunity to draw unbelievers to the Christ! Do we promote the false by no means but we can use the enemy to promote the Lord just as He Himself does through out the Bible. Php 1:18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Messiah is announced. And in this I rejoice, in fact, I shall rejoice. Php 1:19 For I know that this shall turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of יהושע Messiah, 2Co 11:12 And I shall go on doing as I do, in order to cut off the occasion from those desiring an occasion, so that in that which they boast, they might be found also as we are. If anyone does not agree these scriptures fit this opportunity seriously please explain?

Actually I see this as more of a tool to draw unbelievers in to the conversation not so much to confirm or strengthen weak believers. Some men see the devil in everything others see God in everything in the end we make our own choices. You call this a man made idol without any proof. The scripture are correct but maybe not your personal assumptions of how they relate to this. Could the Lord show the wise as fools in the last days as the world eats crow and the scriptures come alive even through science. I don't know and leave it to God to decide how this all plays out.

Believing it is real doe's not make an idol, that is left up to the individual to make that choice:-). Maybe its just another confirmation of the facts provided to an unbelieving world. This would not be the 1st time God has used science to prove himself. Like http://creation.com/location-in-universe . Anyway if you only look for evil you will surely find it even if its not. I wonder would you say the same of the Ark of the Covenant or Noah's Ark? Yes many worshiped the serpent on the Rod in the wilderness but not all and after all the Lord instructed Moses to place it in their midst for a purpose.

Again I say we are being sided tracked on what is truly important at this time in History. While we as Christians are being fooled into getting bogged down in the past we are losing the present battle before us. Do not be deceived by diversions from the enemy of our souls. The true battle that rages is for the souls of people, anything else is a cunning strategic effort to get us to chase rabbits down the wrong trail. Nationalism or anything like it will not save us, being a so called true american will not save us, being Christian has nothing to do with being american only our faith in Jesus and the willingness to stand in this present time for it will make a way. Its not so important for our country to be called a Christian Nation because of our Founding Fathers that does not make the people Christians any more than having Christian parents makes you a Christian. Its more important to be about doing the work of our father, and that would be to lift Jesus up as the answer in our time of trouble. If others that do not believe are going to see Jesus it will not be from our trying to live off the great ideals of the Founders but our walk with the Lord in this present time. In others words we are passing the buck and missing our time in history to do the right thing. Should we forget what this country was founded on surely not but do not let it become a stumbling block either. We will not talk anyone into anything relating to Spiritual matters such as these. Only the conviction of the Holy Spirit can do this if their heart is willing to hear.

Could you explain why General George Washington below addressed his Continental Army as Christian Soldiers? Does it make any sense whatsoever for GW to address them as Christian Soldiers and as their leader not include himself as its Christian General? This is a declaration of what he believed. On July 9, 1776, upon receiving a copy of the Declaration of Independence from the Continental Congress, General George Washington issued the orders from his headquarters in New York authorizing the Continental Army to appoint and pay chaplains in every regiment. “The Hon. Continental Congress having been pleased to allow a Chaplain to each Regiment, with the pay of Thirty-three Dollars and one third pr month – The Colonels or commanding officers of each regiment are directed to procure Chaplains accordingly; persons of good Characters and exemplary lives - To see that all inferior officers and soldiers pay them a suitable respect and attend carefully upon religious exercises. The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger – ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The General hopes and trusts, that every officer and man, will endeavor so to live, and act, as becomes a Christian Soldier, defending the dearest Rights and Liberties of his country." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Hon. Continental Congress, impelled by the dictates of duty, policy and necessity, having been pleased to dissolve the Connection which subsisted between this Country, and Great Britain, and to declare the United Colonies of North America, free and independent States: The several brigades are to be drawn up this evening on their respective Parades at six O’clock, when the Declaration of Congress, shewing the grounds and reasons of this measure, is to be read with an audible voice. The General hopes this important event will serve as a fresh incentive to every officer, and soldier, to act with Fidelity and Courage, as knowing that now the peace and safety of his Country depends (under God) solely on the success of our arms.” What event was he referring to: Adding Chaplains to the ranks of the Army to instruct and encourage the soldiers in Christianity. " These message has been approved by General George Washington Leader of the Christian Continental Army of the United States Of America"

I wonder how George Washington got away with this closing at his inauguration. Having thus imparted to you my sentiments as they have been awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I shall take my present leave; but not without resorting once more to the benign Parent of the Human Race in humble supplication that, since He has been pleased to favor the American people with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility, and dispositions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity on a form of government for the security of their union and the advancement of their happiness, so His divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.
