Hmmm...if I were a follower of this lunatic, I would get real nervous when he rolls out the grape kool aid dispenser--(ala Jim Jones).
"He is proving there is no Devil, as it was destroyed 2000 years ago.
The devil would like to have us believe that."
Liberals do believe that.
A protest singer, yeah, he's singin' a protest song...
This confirms what Jesus said about false prophets in the latter times.
What this guy has is far worse than Industrial Disease ...
Matthew
Chapter 24
- 1
- 1 Jesus left the temple area and was going away, when his disciples approached him to point out the temple buildings.
- 2
- 2 He said to them in reply, "You see all these things, do you not? Amen, I say to you, there will not be left here a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."
- 3
- As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, 3 the disciples approached him privately and said, "Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?"
- 4
- 4 Jesus said to them in reply, "See that no one deceives you.
- 5
- For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and they will deceive many.
- 6
- You will hear of wars 5 and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end.
- 7
- Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place.
- 8
- 6 All these are the beginning of the labor pains.
- 9
- 7 Then they will hand you over to persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name.
- 10
- And then many will be led into sin; they will betray and hate one another.
- 11
- Many false prophets will arise and deceive many;
- 12
- and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold.
- 13
- But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
- 14
- And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations, 8 and then the end will come.
Mat 24:23 "Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There {He is,}' do not believe {him.}
Mat 24:24 "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
Mat 24:25 "Behold, I have told you in advance.
Mat 24:26 "So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, {or,} 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe {them.}
Mat 24:27 "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Mat 24:28 "Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
I may be as dedicated to the Gospel as you are...impossible to say for sure...but if I were you I'd be careful about making assertions that a thing is impossible for Jesus to do.
God does what he chooses, according to His own reasons and purpose. That doesn't make him capricious, but it does make him beyond our understanding.
I'm with you entirely on that point.
Bwahahahahahahaha!
And then I read the passage from Matthew, and while it still doesn't make sense, it at least adds perspective.
It also gives me comfort, knowing that if I stay true to God's word, I will not suffer the fate of those who give in to this temptation. And even if it seems like I'm in the minority, I should trust that I am still on the right path.
If you don't like what I said .. too bad!
What's up with the 'tude. Aren't you some kind of clergy? My Bible software put the words in caps below, not me.
From your original post:
so it's not possible for Jesus to come in the FLESH anymore.
Mat 19:26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Mat 24:30 Mat 24:30 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.
Rev 1:7 BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
Mat 24:43 "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; Rev 20:3 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
A) Jesus is coming back and will rule the nations for a thousand years while satan is bound.
B) Nothing is impossible for Jesus since, well, He created everything.
C) Jesus is not going to stop at the border to clear customs when He returns, so this guy is not Jesus.
From article: He is teaching the world that sin no longer exists, as we are dead unto sin.
1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
And finally, the condensed version on how to spot a false prophet or false Jesus:
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the heads. This guy is very dangerous.
I've heard of this guy recently. And the warnings about him and his followers seems prudent. In Florida, he's busy 'recruiting' and 'converting'. Naturally, he is well funded by his followers. And his 'gospel' is so anti-gospel - he's Jesus (send him $), no devil, heaven on earth. He seems like not worth paying attention to, but his flock is growing exponentially, people are buying his lies - why? My guess, because it's 'easy' - supposed keys to happiness, supposedly he thinks he's Jesus, he teaches there's no devil. Bigger than a Jim Jones, based on money. Kind of a cross between scientolgy (and it's money-cult thing) and Jim Jones or Koresh.
...hey, I added a placemarker, just in case...
Thanks for the ping! I almost missed "Him"! What a loon.
It is noticable that in the NBC interview, he wants everyone to be rich. Especially himself. How can people blindly follow such an utterly transparent fraud?
Not like it's never happened before.
"How can people blindly follow such an utterly transparent fraud?"
How do you think Democrats and liberals get elected?
