FOR FAIR USE AND EDUCATION AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES



Seeing all the WRONG interpretations of things in the Bible posted on this website by people who only want their own opinion heard makes me have a plethora of emotions. I read some of the things written that are supposed to enrich our knowledge of our God's plan concerning His creation (us), and I can see truth in very few of them. If this grieves me, then I can only imagine how it grieves our Lord.

In the last couple of months I have tried to show truth by going against some of the most obvious. That has changed NOTHING! These unbiblical posts have multiplied and divided. And because it is so apparent that those who have criticized me and what I post will actually not read anything that goes against their own doctrines. They continually go back to their own "vomit" (Prov. 23:8; II Peter 2:22) I realize I am fighting a battle that only God can win.

Christians learn NOTHING by going to a church building once a week. People have essentially joined up with others who want to be termed a "Christian" for their own reasons (respect, power, money, friendship, fellowship, entertainment, or "something to do"...whatever!), and then they spend the rest of their days demanding that others believe as they, themselves (and their "group"...denomination) do....and criticizing those who don't.

The advice Jesus Christ has given us concerning these kinds of "gospel killers" is in Matthew 15:13-14..."But he answered and said, 'Every plant, which my heavenly Father HATH NOT PLANTED, shall be rooted up. (vs.14) LET THEM ALONE: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, BOTH shall fall into the ditch.'"

And that is EXCELLENT advice which I shall follow. He said "LEAVE THEM ALONE", and I intend to do just that! These "blind leaders" tend to be continuously loquatious (loudmouths) who refuse to be silenced by the truth. They comment on material given that they haven't even read...proving their ignorance.

So, I will just leave them alone. Trying to correct their errors is like trying to bail out a sinking boat with a thimble....and it is getting worse by the day. I won't do it anymore because I'm not supposed to.

But, I won't stop putting forth things that "Church-ianity" does not see or hear otherwise....until I am told to stop.

And, continuing on, for those who want some truth in Bible perspectives:

Revelation 10:1..."And I saw another mighty ANGEL come down from heaven, CLOTHED WITH A CLOUD: and a RAINBOW was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:"

Here is a teaching you won't ever learn in "church"....it will benefit only those who read it. For others, it will only be fodder for argument...which I will totally ignore.

Here I wish to point out a most significant fact of scripture which has entirely been overlooked by most Bible students and nearly all preachers and teachers. All the way through the scriptures, from the crossing of the Red Sea by the children of Israel, to the ascension of Jesus from the mount of Olives, God consistently manifested Himself in ONE GLORY CLOUD. There was always just ONE SINGLE CLOUD! The Lord Jesus ascended in one single cloud of God�s glory � the very same cloud in which He had manifested His presence to His people throughout the long ages of time!

It is when we come to the book of Revelation that we see a distinct difference! For suddenly in addition to the one cloud we are introduced to a great plurality of clouds! Let us see! Christ departed this earth in one cloud. He comes again in many clouds! It was the blessed seer of Patmos who announced: �Behold, He cometh with clouds: and every eye shall see Him� (Rev. 1:7).

Daniel in vision beheld Him thus: �I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like a Son of man came with the clouds of heaven�and there was given unto Him dominion� (Dan. 7:13-14). Jesus Himself said, �And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory� (Mat. 24:30). And again, �Hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven� (Mat. 26:64).

Finally, the apostle Paul relates this dramatic experience: �Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds�and so shall we ever be with the Lord� (I Thes. 4:17). In the CLOUDS! More than one cloud. Many clouds. A great company of clouds!

Why are there many clouds attending Christ�s coming, and what are these clouds? Let us not forget for one moment that we are dealing with the cloud of God�s glory, presence, and power � the shekinah! When the firstborn Son of God was in the world John said of Him, �We beheld His glory� (Jn. 1:14).

Peter reveals to us what is really meant by their beholding the glory of the Son. �For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory (the glory cloud), saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount� (II Pet. 1:16-1 . Ah, it is clear � it was the glory of HIS manifest sonship.

**********************

This is the meaning of what is said in Romans 8:19..."For the earnest expectation of the creature (all of us)waiteth for the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD."

So, if the majority want to continue listening to the "loudmouths" who are pointing to the "rapture" and the apostate Nation of Israel (Jews) for their redemption...and ignore what the Bible actually says...then I can do nothing more than ignore them and continue posting things not taught in churches. I understand, now, what is said in Matthew 10:22..."And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth (telling the truth)to the end shall be saved."

I do not think this verse is talking about salvation, because we are "saved by faith through grace" (Eph.2:8-9), but I think it has EVERYTHING to do with avoiding their "PART in the lake of fire" of Revelation 21:8...because it includes those who tell LIES.
