God is in the position to give and take life, that's why He is God. And if God chosses to take life, you can be sure it is for a good reason, even if we don't understand it.
Well if belief in Jesus was not important I would be the first to say lets forget about Him. But Christ fulfilled the 300 prophecies of the Old Testament, He is the one that created the world, and He will be the one that returns to the world at the end of time. Jesus States that the Generation that sees the Jews return to Israel, will see His return to this world. The Jews are not back in Israel by accident, they don't know it themselves, but they are a part of God's bigger plan.
You better check your map, Israel has a little more land than the Gaza Strip. Also, the Bible states that at the time of the end the Jews will have a short temporary peace with her neighbors. And the Bible states the Jews will build their third temple on Mount Moriah, just before Christ returns. There is a movement in Israel today that wants the Temple rebuilt, and a large percentage of Israels population feels the same way.
what? they don't know it? isn't a big reason for the current crisis religious fundamentalism? this is the jew's "holy land" promised to them by their "god", even if it was already inhabited by arab palestinians. it's this kind of thinking that will get a more fundy israeli pm into power, like this bibi guy, stopping the rightful pullouts, and there will NEVER be peace. or do you think the jews should just slap on their blinders and keep on bombing, keep on making more palestinians into refugees in their own land?
You really need to get over your political correctness. God's plan is much bigger than your very small world view. God has allowed the Jews to return to Israel, so that the nations of the world will attack them. God states that when the Jews return and retake Jerusalem. Israel will become a cup of trembeling to the entire world. The prophecies of the Bible are speeding along like a freight train and are unstoppable. Even though the Jews rejected Jesus Christ, the Bible states that at the time of the end, God will use the nation of Israel, to reveal to the entire world and that includes the Jews, who He is. Much of this story can be found in Ezk. chapters 37,38,39, and Zek. chapter 12. You may think the Bible is just a history book, but fully one third of the Bible is prophecy. And if you want to know what is going to happen in Israel, I would strongly suggest you read these chapters. Most of the Jews don't even believe in these prophecies anymore, but if you want to know the truth, and the future, you will find it there.
Please tell me how Campbell has not "walked the walk." Is it because he preaches about the future which most christians and pastors choose to neglect. From what I can see, Campbell is a righteous man and has followed God.
Sure you respect them, as long as they keep their mouths shut. And this is your first post where you have stated you respect any Christian. And I believe you have stated that, only to take a swipe at me. I think walk the walk to you, is when Christians put their heads down, and walk sheepishly away when you challenge them. I don't remember Jesus, or John the Baptist being like that at all. The Bible tells us to boldly proclaim Gods truth. If your house was on fire, would you have me whisper to you, of the approching flames. Guys like me are shouting to this world, to let them know of God's coming wrath. God has stated in the Old Testament that He will bring every kind of disaster against our nation. America, the country I love, has given God the finger, we have murdered 50 million children by abortion. Do you really think God does not see this. We are living in Americas last days, what God has planned for our nation is fearful. Floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes, with increasing intensety will weaken our nations might. We are approaching God's third day.
yes camp but your not shouting it out in the right way.Try actually showing him the love of Christ rather than telling him hes going to burn unless you do what you tell him.
I have watched the churches take this weak lackluster approach to telling the truth, and I have watched an entire generation go so far down the tubes, that millions of Americans don't even understand that abortion is murder. This generation has brought or nation to the edge of destruction, and they don't even have a clue. They don't have any Biblical understandings, and when you approach them with that surrpy I'm so holy crap, they think it's all a big joke. Those who truly love God will reach out as if everyones life was hanging in the balance, and you know, they are. It's not what I am telling anyone, it's what the Bible is telling them. The most published, and least read book on earth.
