Luke 17:26-30

28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

Yup, things are right on schedule!
So are you saying Jimmie Bakker is a scoffer or is he doing his god's will?


If you say Jimmie is doping his god's will, isn't his god taking all the cultists in the rapture before the going gets tough?

More importantly, why is Jimmie charging 5 times the cost for providing food when Jesus did it for FREE??

Yes, and we have the schedule, but not the time each segment will occur. We are told to keep on the watch, keep awake, etc.

As to stored food, great if something environmental happens, like a blizzard, flood, wild fires, etc; that close business around you or cause an evacuation.

So Jesus taught there--The Father is THE ONLY TRUE GOD--Paul teaches the same-1Cor 8:6--There is one God to all, the Father. Few know him, he is YHWH(Jehovah)--that means FEW will get eternal life. Just as Jesus taught it would be--Matt 7:13-14
Empirical data would go a long way to support this exaggeration.

Look at the behavior of the majority claiming to be Christians, both liberal and conservative.

It's a sad state of affairs, where much repair work is needed.

The JW's haven't a clue who God IS because they believe in the OT Jewish War God. Jesus told us who God IS. God IS agape. Jesus unambiguously demonstrated the TRUE NATURE of the ONLY TRUE GOD and smote no one despite horrendous scourging and crucifixion. He loved EVEN His torturers and murderers - "No greater love." All the Jehovah lovers are worshiping the wrong God because He was described by ignorant primitive, barbaric, savages in the OT. Jesus is the only one who knew the mind of God that is why we are to use the "mind of Christ" to interpret the scriptures with agape.

You seemed to have missed--God does not change. God is the same now as always--Har-mageddon will prove it to the world. God only destroyed the wicked. God says what is wicked, not men. And Revelation teaches-Jesus will rule with an iron scepter--He is the exact image of God-Coll 1:15)
Men falsely reason within themselves that this or that must be allright, but is it to God?
Jesus is coming at Har-mageddon to carry out his God and Fathers will--destroy the wicked. 99% will fall. Because when the tribulation hits, prior to Har-mageddon--peoples true colors will show.
God inspired the words in the bible. Not primitive ignorant savages. False reasoning on your part. Most have that problem, Because God says a mortal heart is desperate and treacherous. Jeremiah 17:9)-- the only ones who can see reality have done this-Matt 16:24
