Then it is something mans failing to follow set codes of conduct will bring.

yes it's called Temporal and Moral anarchy. It will be hell on earth because there will only be chaos and sel-finterest with no morality.

This renders it less of an iullusion and more of a matphor for the resluting aspect of failing to guide society by a strict moral compass

Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor of His coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the Truth and so be saved.

Would those "forces of darkness" include those who oppose the Bringer of Illumination and the Bearer of the Divine Light?

The blood of the lamb victorious my arse......

Unstained, are you actually reading the responses, your preaching is simply causing people to oppose you. They're not listening to you they're crucifying eveyhting you say. They're making coherent rational moral and prersuiavive arguments and you are simply citing scripture like a blind automaton.

No one is converted. In your failure to answer any of our questions with arguemtn which does not inevitably prove to be self-sustaining faliciy is discrediting your case

I say Judgement day for Christians is fast apporaching and for all those religions which oppress and suppress others, for all those religions which profess to hold all the answers and yet can't answer the most basic questions with practical responses.

Christians will not survive the comming millenium but mankind more then likely will and his science and his spirit.

If your god is truly the all powerful all lvong creature he is proclaimed to be then why let innocents be born into 'heathenry' suffer a lifetime of hardhsip and misery and then die and be cast into hell or pergatory for not having followed the words they could never of heard?

Karl marx once ssaid religion is the opiate of the masses. It is clear that those who follow the Pre-marxist religions are sedated in spirit and wit. They let something answer all their questions and are in essence hollow. They make no decisions for themselves they do not see how good their moral compass is. They are Corrupted in the worst possible way.

Evry church has a long history of abuses of faith. Yet you follow them still. This is corruption fo spirit. A failing to accept the faith for yourself. To take that most crucial torch and run with it. You simply watch others and accept what they tell you for you don't understand and could neve runderstand the power of faith. Your faith is hollow because it is blind.

You have a relgion which teaches blind faith is great. But why is is it great? It is simple obedience. A faith which allows one to ask questions and reach solutions is far better. If the faith does not permit you it's questions then you must ask why. What does it have to hide? Is it it's own fundamenally flawed nature? I think that is precisely what you'll find.

Happy are those who have the conviction to question for they know that their path is good and that the truth awaits them at the end of their Journey

Neon

Problem is, that`s what these zealots think as well

But apart form that, great post neon

You are using esoteric terms to describe the Lord's adversary.

Why then would the forces of darkness oppose one of their own, even their own leader?

How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.

I was thinking that myself for a short while but in repsonse to that I'm going to consider this....

Chrsitians irrespective of denomination have fought for the right to be the one true faith.

Heresy in Catholism was levied on even the least conservative of free thinkers. Anyhting which deviated ever so slightly form the established status Quo was branded Heretical and those who did not recant their beleif and findings were either crucified or burnt.

England throughout Tudor and Stewart times fought the reformation counter reformation and counter counter reformation.

Henry VIII branded Heretical and wrong the Catholic church and his one way was the one right way.

All in all you see that the notion of Questioning the tennents of religion has not been allowed until very recently when the church lost power, but even now the notion is so ingrained into chruch lore that it can't be questioned and the notion of Faith almost precludes the concept of questioning the words and intentions of their respective gods.

Neon

P.S. thanks...

I am in fact reading each response. You have no idea what Almighty God is doing with those who have been touched by His Word. They are in fact listening to me just as you are.

Only you choose to not hear.
This is only an ignorant assumption born in a heart of pride. I fail not to answer any of your questions.

Again, you choose to not hear.

YES Neon, judgement day for Christians is indeed fast approaching.

For everyone.

Including those who by their choice reject the King of King and Lord of Lords.

God is just. He is the God of justice, and will therefore be fair in all His judgements. He is fairer and more just that we are. He will judge people according to the way they respond to what has been revealed since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Religion in and of itself is not a bad thing. You are religious are you not Neon? Humanism is a religion. I would add that religion will lead many people to hell. It is the Blood of the Lamb that sets men free.

You are a master of assumption. You know nothing of what I do nor anything of my local church. My faith in Jesus Christ is what has given me Life. And Life abundantly.

Our faith is far from blind Neon. We walk the path before us with unshakable confidence and have faith in the promise of the glorious things yet to come.

Who has ever said we are not allowed to ask questions in our faith of Jesus Christ? It is certainly no one I know of. We hide nothing. Rather it is the darkness that is afraid of the Light. This is the verdict Neon:

Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and will not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the Truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

There is nothing flawed about it. It is Truth and Truth only.

This is a True statement Neon. The Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

To question with conviction is the right thing to do. It is good to put Truth to the test. How else would we be able to know what is True if we did not?

And that which is True will stand in the end.

Yes Neon. The Truth indeed awaits them at the end of their journey.

Very true indeed.

You are tragically determined, dude. You will see, it may take you a few million live but you'll soon leave this Hell and see God. Not the god that people talk about, that people pretend to know about, but the God that is all around us and runs through us. You will know Nirvana, and you will then see your folly for what it really is. God blessesyou.

God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

He sees you Guy Person and continues His search.

I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. You will weep bitterly as you come to finally understand that your whole life has been spent in rejection of the very One Who has the power to save you.

I tell you the truth Guy Person, no one can enter the Kindom of God unless he is born again.

Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

Dear Guy Person, now we are children of God that have excepted His Son, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears,we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

Is it not time then that you took up your travelling staff and took your first few steps?

Neon, please have the courtesy to at least use a spell check in the future. Many of your words have been difficult to understand as they have to be deciphered through your erroneous spelling.

As I have said many times before, you do not have any knowledge of what God is doing in the hearts of those who read the Words of God. You have not read any of my personal messages or emails I have received have you? No, you have not.
Nor have you any inclusion into the workings of men's souls as moved by the hand of God. As stated before, you are the master of assumption.

I admit to having read nothing of yours other than your responses to my own posts. Any endorsement by any group is evil. Have you made any posts regarding the millions that have died at the hands of communists regimes through the last century?

What I preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

In no way do I deny my own mortality. And in no way do I deny that I personally am fallible. What I know is that you have believed the lie and by the act of your own free will reject the Truth that has the power to save you.

Let me repeat what has been stated many times. It is only believing in Christ's atoning work on the cross that men "avoid damnation". It is not because of "believing Christianity". Yes, in fact we do proclaim it is better than all others for this Neon is Truth. My church does not allow any practicing homosexuals the same as we do not allow practicing adulterers. We accept anyone who is seeking to change from their life of sin, but if they reject correction, they only seek to cause division and in the House of God, there will be no such distraction. To allow such would be to surrender to the plan of the enemy to divide and conquer. Yet, the body of Christ is victorious in my church. Sinners yes are always welcomed, regardless of their label. Nevertheless if you wish to rebelliously continue in your sin, you are doing nothing but causing division and are not seeking peace with Almighty God.

As is your choice to do so.

God is spoken of in Scripture in only the male gender. I will repeat again, for perhaps you did not previously read my earlier response regarding questioning. The Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Do you see this point Neon? The Bereans examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Do you understand the meaning of this? They questioned Paul's teachings. They did not take what he said automatically as the Word of God. They questioned it and tested it in comparison with the Scripture. Which is exactly what we are to do with anyone who claims he speaks the Truth.

I also encourage everyone who reads the words I write to go to the Scriptures and seek the Truth. Hold up what I say to the Light of Scripture and test it. I have nothing to fear.

I pray you are able now to understand this point.

What I have found is freedom of my soul in Christ Jesus. You have nothing to judge authoritatively what I have found other than your own mind as limited as it is. That is your choice. You will not find me in 10 years doing nothing but what I am doing now--the work of Christ Jesus. I am past the stage of spoon fed mush. I have now moved on to solid food which is good for the growth of the soul. By overcoming adversity we do indeed grow. This is why the Lord allows us to go through such trials.

Your last sentence was horribly structured and not interpretable.

I honestly don't know how much more clear I can be on the matter of questioning. Yes Neon. I question my Lord daily for I need His guidance and need to dig deeper into the meaning of what He desires for me to understand. If I questioned Him not, I would be a fool.

I ask of Him.

He answers.

I do not disagree with His teachings for after questioning them, I have found them only to be Perfect, Right and Secure.

I have questioned all these things on the path to eternal LIfe.

You have evidently not met many True Christians Neon.

My life is just as full of hardships and pain as yours. You know nothing of my past and what I have experienced. Each death and each sickness and each pain has all been a part of the growing process.

And by feeding on the Word of God, my former ignorance regarding such things has been taken away and the fullness of the indwelling Holy Spirit of the Almighty God has taken it's place.

Be not afraid to become a sheep who follows the Great Shepherd Neon. Step out and believe.

Dare to be mocked Neon for following the King of Kings.

Fear not.

I am my own man. My morality is entirely my own. My decisions are entirely my own. My life is entriely my own

I challange any Christian to prove themselves as blessed!
