Don’t make me laugh

The third and final temple is the heart of the believer. We are the temple of the Holy Ghost

Never read your Bible???

The indwelt believer is the temple for the Holy Spirit. The Jews Third Temple will be rebuilt for hosting the very person of Yeshua during the 1,000-year reign of Christ. This is why the Antichrist will desecrate the Temple before Yeshua arrives in His Second Coming.

All prophetic pandering… “howbeit the most high dwelleth not in temples built with hands” I believe your entire escatology to be in error, based on Darby, Larkin and Scofield.

Paul called the Holy Ghost “Christ in us the hope of Glory” The apostles taught it was Jesus sitting upon the throne of our heart. To everyone you try to lead to Christ donyou not say ask Jesus into your heart.

Fact Steve: one cannot slide Daniels 70th week forward 2025 years and counting. Fact: there is no mention of “The Antichrist” in the book of revelation. John said if the timing of revelation…all those things that must SOON come to pass …FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND

Not 2500 years later. So you’re gonna go your whole life, taking your stand and making your ministry about eschatology and you’re gonna die wrong just like the rest of them. perhaps a little while before your deathbed You’re going to wonder why it never took place, Give me a call and I’ll school you

Eschatology—the study of the end times—has long been a subject of deep reflection and discussion among believers. Across different traditions and interpretations, there are varying perspectives on the nature of Christ’s return, the events leading up to it, and the ultimate fulfillment of God’s plan. While these differences exist, it is essential to approach them with humility and respect, recognizing that our human understanding is finite.

Each believer is called to stand firm in their convictions, fully persuaded in their heart about what they hold to be true. Yet, in doing so, we must also acknowledge a profound reality: ultimate knowledge of these events rests solely with God the Father and Yeshua. Scripture reminds us that there are mysteries beyond human comprehension, and rather than being a source of division, our pursuit of understanding should draw us closer to God in reverence.

In all discussions, let love and grace abound without self-proclaimed judgements. While we may hold differing views, our shared faith in Christ unites us far more than our interpretations may divide us. What matters most is not winning debates but encouraging one another to seek truth, remain steadfast in faith, and eagerly await the fulfillment of God’s promises with expectant hearts.

I am contending for the faith once delivered

The first century Church

The One Christ built upon the rock

It’s not my goal to be abrasive but it doesn’t bother me to take a stand.

That which you are espousing is the very reason Christianity is in such sad shape today… “Where are the Elijah’s of God who will walk from a prayer room declaring “thus saith the Lord” (Ravenhill)

This dumbing down of the gospel and message of holiness has brought nothing good. What fellowship hath light with darkness.

When is the last time you heard a good sermon on hell or someone stood up and preached against homosexuality? When is the last time in the church that you attend that people broke, shaking with tears, weeping under the power of the Holy Ghost?

I’m not here to get along , or to be anybody’s buddy. I’m here to speak as the oracles of God, boldly declaring what cemetery graduates will never understand.

Sorry, I grow weary trying to maintain truth

Had it right up to my ears with futurism, apostasy and hirelings. I will settle down

And thanks
