    Does anyone find this in our changing world?

    Definitely I agree with you. These are the times we're living in. In my church we're running a lunch-friendship club for people on Tuesdays. In the last year the number of folks attending has trebled, many are elderly, disabled, alone and afraid, looking for someone to talk to. Some folks...

    MURDER by Hospital

    A dear Uncle died in hospital in 2011, going in for heart treatment, catching pneumonia in hospital and dying. His room was always desperately cold, the window was always open despite it being December, family members kept closing it but the staff kept opening the window when we left. There...

    Trouble with friends

    John 13: 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" The love of believers for one another is a world away from the world's idea of 'friends'. Seek out God's people, you will find love there. Walk with the sheep, shy away from the goats...

    WHEN DID GRACE BY FAITH END AND SALVATION BY WORKS BEGIN AS IN SHEEP/GOAT JUDGEMENT

    ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’ IMHO the bolded phrase explains much of the meaning of this passage. 'My brethern'. It's kindness to a specific group, not an act of goodwill to random people. God Bless You :)

    How to love your family, when God hates the nonelects?

    Prayer changes things. For example Amos the prophet interceded with God and the judgement described did not happen (Amos 7:3) So the Lord relented. “This will not happen,” the Lord said. The prayer of the righteous man is powerful and effective. God Bless :)

    Has the pre trib rapture belief alienated a whole group of people against each other

    Hello! Thank you for your reply. Although there will be some persecution of believers in the Great Tribulation the distinction between it and what you're describing is the wrath of God. During the Tribulation the wrath of God will fall on an unbelieving, rebellious world, people will be...

    Has the pre trib rapture belief alienated a whole group of people against each other

    Yes. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 'We who are still alive'. IMHO it must be talking about a pre-trib rapture. Those who refuse the...

    Has the pre trib rapture belief alienated a whole group of people against each other

    Hello! I think the purpose for those who go through the Tribulation is to bring them to God. Israel will turn to their Messiah in that dark day because they will have no-one else to turn to and all Israel will be saved. 'Tribulation saints' are saved in those dark days when they repent and...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    Hello Dino. The Lord Jesus returns at the end of Jacob's trouble. He did not return 1953 years ago. As momentous as the events were 1953 years ago there is much Bible prophecy still to be fulfilled. God Bless You :)

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    I agree! 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 (2 Thessalonians 2:8). None of this has yet happened. God Bless You :)
