And when he does, I don't think anyone will ask, "So is this your first trip to Earth?"
“If you don’t die, you didn’t resist hard enough, therefore, you are a whore and wanted it to happen.”
Fair enough. Why are women whores for wanting it to happen but not the rapists who clearly wanted it as well? Does Islam also have a double standard for murder: OK for men, but death for women? I hope you see my point. If fornication outside of marriage is wrong, then why isn’t it wrong for everyone?
They are animals.
Barbarians inside the gates, I’m afraid.
But God does not want us to be shaken or afraid but comforted because God has not appointed us to His wrath but instead to His salvation. I Thess 4:16-5:11; II Thess. 2:2. God wants instead for His people to rejoice, watch, and by grace be ready for Him to come at any time to take us as Noah and Lot were taken. Matt 24:36-44. PTL!
In the meantime, may His grace in us abound more and more as sin increases around us.
They act tough, but the threat of same shown with determined will and purpose sends them running into their caves as witnessed when the U.S. under Bush started coming after them to their astonishment, surprise, and horror.
Lack of determined leadership against them, as now, will turn them back on us again. Freedom requires eternal vigilance said Jefferson.
He’s coming, just as He promised. But before He does, He wants to deliver us and set us free from fear and increase our faith.
The more you read about what is really in Sharia law, the more horrific the whole thing becomes.
I think at some point, sooner or later, this crazed satanic cult and Sharia law or some kind of hybrid, will overrun the world.
There we part ways a bit. IMSO (in my studied opinion, ha) we get to hang around for most of the rough stuff, because that isn't God's wrath. Of course we are not subject to His wrath, but it all depends when that exactly begins.
This outcome is why I think we can be "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God" (2 Peter 3:12). There's no way I'm wanting to hasten the Day of God if I'm still in a world where half the people are killed (first 3 1/2 years) and almost everybody else the second 3 1/2 years.
One part of the reason for that is that "The Smartest Woman in the World" is rather stupid. The other part is that The Hildebeast is a sociopath. I have been convinced of both of those things for many years.
Someone being chased down by machete-weilding Muslims in an Indonesian forest might disagree with you. :) Thing is, many people the world over experience tribulation-style persecution every day. In America we read about it, but remain detached from it, for obvious reasons. Here it’s easy to believe we’ll be gone before anything too painful happens.
I’m not so sure from where your figure of half the world’s population during the first half and the other half during the second is derived. Can you elaborate? I know that most pretrib teachers (at least I think, from remembering my days holding that viewpoint) talk about the seals comprising the first half and the trumpets and bowls comprising the second half...is that what you base your figures on? Having the answer to that question would probably clear things up regarding our respective viewpoints. (Hint - I believe the wrath starts at the 6th seal, just like Revelation suggests, and that the 6th seal isn’t until close to the end of the 70th week, and that the trumpets and bowls happen in relative speed after that. The seals are all man-induced but God-allowed, while the trumpets and bowls are His answer to where man takes the world when given enough rope.)
And hey, if you have any urge or inclination to have an eschatological discussion via freepmail, I’d love to. Just throwing that out there. :) Have a good weekend.
Well, I'll start with this and if you want to take it to freepmail that's cool. I love this stuff, especially with someone else who likes it and can have a friendly discussion without necessarily agreeing. (I also don't mind posting since I hope it might help others who are viewing.)
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:8.
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. Revelation 9:18.
1/4 X 1/3 = 1/2.
This should still be in the first half of the 70th week because "the abomination that makes desolate" in the middle of the week (Dan. 9:27) has not yet been revealed.
The third woe, the seventh trump, and Rev 12-14 is a picture of this revelation (see also I Thess. 2:3-4). This begins the last 3 ½ years, God's wrath without mixture (Rev.14:10), which means there's no mercy mixed with His wrath. Many are saved ("sealed") in the first 3 ½ years (wrath mixed with mercy). However, no one is saved in the last 3 ½ years except for a remnant of Israel hiding in Edom (Matt. 24:16-20; Rev 12:14 “time (one year), and times (two years), and half a time” (half a year) = 3 ½ years).
The scenes of the two harvests in Chapt 14 are:
1) the slaying of God’s people - all who do not take the mark of the beast (Rev 14:13-16 notice it's the Son of man who “reaps” the harvest of souls here (later they’re seen in heaven Rev 15:2-4).) Those who are still alive at this point and choose to be God’s rather than the beast’s are swiftly executed immediately at the outset of the revelation and demands of the beast beginning the second 3 ½ years.
2) the slaying of the damned - everybody else who took the mark of the beast at the beginning of the second 3 ½ years up to and through Armageddon (Rev 14:17-20 notice it’s not the Son of man but an angel and there no “reaping” but a gathering into the winepress of the wrath of God (Rev 14:19) where the blood comes up to the horses bridles (Rev 14:20). By the end of the second 3 ½ years pretty much the whole world is dead except for the remnant of Israel hiding in the mountains of Edom.
And when they behead your children in the wars which are to come, you will know.

Hey, your preaching to the choir, brother/sister. Your questions are answered, in my opinion, if you look at iSlAm the way I do. I consider it a cult, made by criminals, to be attractive to the weak minded, to justify criminal activity.
You want to kill people, kill as many as you want and do it in Gods name because God wants it.
You want to beat women? Ok.
You can see just how hypocritical the entire religion is when you look at as it’s OK to kill someone for even making the image of their so called prophet, yet they worship an actual meteorite, which, if you ask me, is nothing more than idol worship.
I keep being told that iSlAm is a peaceful religion. Well, they sure havent proven it to me, in any way, shape or form.
Think for a minute what it must be like to be raised from the cradle regarding all women, including your OWN mother, as evil, unclean, inferior animals.
That is what you are descended from, that is your identity, your shame, resentment and on and on. The only way you can escape that shame is by destroying female existence. It would be like plucking out ones own eyes etc.
The sickest, most dysfunctional culture ever to walk the earth.
Incoming! :)
