While Jim Lincoln and I have been primarily dealing with Satan's hatred of the Jews God is using you and Dorcas to extend the truth of Satan's hatred beyond that of just jews. For Satan truly hates Christians as much as he hates jews.

penned at times God uses you to help reveal important things He wants known.

1. The Holy Spirit is set forth as the teacher of God's word not me, Lurker, John UK, GSTexas or anyone else that was not a person of The Trinity before this world was created.

2. "we", and that is an important qualification, for there are a lot of people posing as Christians who are not a part of the "we", have receceived the spirit of God so that "we" can "know" various things .

3. And the "we" whom God has chosen, not the self appointed knowing little to nothing self appointed teachers, "speak" not through "man's wisdom" but rather through "the Holy Ghost" who imparted to the "we" the correct knowledge to the "we" by having the "we" "comparing spiritual things with spiritual", that is, Scripture with Scripture in the Bible and being taught by no less a person than The Holy Spirit as to what the truth equals.

4. And of course, for the following reasons, the things I am pointing out in this post are all entirely over the head of the "natural" man or woman who read SermonAudio comments:

"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
(2 Corinthians 2:14)

And that truth I illustrated is this:

"The one and only correct hermeneutic revealed by Scripture is that Scripture means exactly what God says it means and that the only people who understand Scripture correctly are those to whom God reveals Scripture's correct meaning."

I will now illustrate the same truth in relationship to the Third Member of The Trinity: The Holy Spirit.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
(1 Corinthians 2:12-14)

Note some key points in the Scripture above:...

"The one and only correct hermeneutic revealed by Scripture is that Scripture means exactly what God says it means and that the only people who understand Scripture correctly are those to whom God reveals Scripture's correct meaning."

And I illustrated the truth of my statement in relationship to Jesus Christ, one of the members of the Trinity.

Scripture reveals the truth of what I stated in relationship to all three members of the Trinity thus witnessing to the truth of what I stated as well as to the Biblical truth concerning the existence of the Trinity, that is, there is only one God but that one God exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:

He [Jesus Christ] saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 16:15-17)

I remember several years ago when I first started posting at SermonAudio I didn't have much respect for your links.

Talk about ungrateful, that was me, for I had learned how to link correctly to various things on the Internet by studying your links and how you linked to various things. And here I was poo pooing what you linked to and considering much of it of little value.

For that I sincerely apologize

What I am surprised about here is that your first link is to another totally brilliant article by Thomas Ice, one which can no doubt be of great service to people that are actually born again. As opposed to the many that are only pretenders.

Lurker wrote:
...
The reason why there are so many differing eschatological views, David, is because there is no agreement of which hermeneutic is right...

1. the study of the methodological principles of interpretation (as of the Bible)
2. a method or principle of interpretation

I agree Lurker that "there is no agreement of which hermeneutic is right" but there is a "right" singularly correct hermeneutic revealed in different places in Scripture, one of those places being:

Then opened he [Jesus Christ] their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
(Luke 24:45)

The one and only correct hermeneutic revealed by Scripture is that Scripture means exactly what God says it means and that the only people who understand Scripture correctly are those to whom God reveals Scripture's correct meaning.

Of those that believe God produced the Bible, most have supplanted the truth I just stated with a Satanic view of Scripture that basically states:

Christopher000, if you are still researching the Nephilim Project, I just came across this article most interesting, including archaeological finds of huge skeletons.

I've not read very much of it, but I came across it just now while looking at the Muhammedan article which Jim linked to. Sure looks interesting.

Mr. Ice in that document has some excellent answers to the false doctrines of AMILLENNIALISM AND POSTMILLENNIALISM. Be sure and download the document as a PDF (top right hand side arrow pointing down) and study it in your spare time so that you truly understand the various things the document states and shows.

But do some serious praying about understanding what is shown by the document remembering this:

2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

when Christian groups push world wars based on their eschatology, you bet it is an issue.
the witness of Christ is marred...

a casual reading of revelations 20 shows that gog, magog thing happens after the millennium. also the deceiving of the nations. I am inclined to think that these are the days we are walking into with the NWO or the making of a world religion, the "deceiving of the nations" in an organized sense against the witness of CHrist to the world, a resurrected ancient Babylon. as I see Christ teaching very clearly of a Kingdom that already exists and is expanding, his teaching correlates well with Revelations 20, the beheading of saints and his reign as King-Priest in heaven today...

You can have the Mabel Normand role in the Mack Sennett Prophecy silent movie comedy I referred to at:

Dopey, if it looks this way to some of us who are Christians, can you just imagine what it looks like to someone who is unsaved reading these threads?!!

And that is why it is absolutely necessary that the insults stop and disagreements take place in a dignified manner.

Those threads are kind of like watching Fatty Arbuckle walk into a room to say something and then have a pie thrown in his face. Buster Keaton then races over to boot the pie thrower in the fanny and is suddenly hit on the head with a bat by Mabel Normand.

Stan who has brought Ollie to the thread then enters. Ollie looks around at the ruckus going on and while he has his head turned someone drills him in the head with a pie. Stan looks at Ollie sheepishly and Ollie states to him: "Another fine mess you have gotten me into."

"sinner, this is your present position. No hot drops have as yet fallen, but a shower of fire is coming. No terrible winds howl around you, but God’s tempest is gathering its dread artillery. As yet the water-floods are dammed up by mercy, but the flood-gates shall soon be opened: the thunderbolts of God are yet in his storehouse, but lo! the tempest hastens, and how awful shall that moment be when God, robed in vengeance, shall march forth in fury!

It is one of my favorite movies. It is the true story of how desperate jews in the Treblinka concentration camp tried a mass breakout from the camp. Some of those poor Jews got killed in the breakout attempt and some of them made it to the forest. It is one of the most dramatic movies I ever saw, viewed in the context that it's a true story.

I will re-watch the movie in the next three days. I heartily recommend it to anyone who can deal with absolute desperation, fear, courage, incredible sorrow, Russian-Jewish collaboration in attempt to save themselves from the Nazis and a host of other things.

My guess is that most people won't bother as the latest American sitcom or some other totally pointless tv program will be considered much more important.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
(Luke 21:36)

Behold, I [Jesus Christ] come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
(Revelation 16:15)

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
(1 John 3:3)

Are you watching and praying? Are you watching to keep your garments? Are you purifying yourself?
