Oh
trust me you're gonna see it alright.
Already are actually.
Bible prophecy expert explains Revelation event 'that could happen in your lifetime'
Just not exactly the way they think. Had a few visions :-). Got a few different ideas, in regard to eschatology :-). But we will see it in our lifetimes.
"In particular, the Bible expert has highlighted a prophecy from the Book of Revelation, which predicts the arrival of two prophets in the End Times."
"According to the Bible, two prophets could appear in Jerusalem during your lifetime whose powers would be incomparable to anything the world has witnessed in thousands of years.
(Told you yesterday, you have no idea what I pray for. None.)
"Revelation 11:3-14 details the coming ministry of the two witnesses, the prophets who will come in the style of Moses and Elijah.
"According to Bible prophecy, God will grant the two prophets Jerusalem's rebuilt Third Temple.
The Temple does not yet exist as it has not been rebuilt since it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD and many of the Bible's prophesied events hinge on its existence."
(It was a Roman Legion from Antioch (of all places) but it was comprised of draftees from that area. It was the fore runners to the modern day Turks that destroyed the Temple. Not the Romans themselves.)
"Professor Meyer said: "The prophetic condemnations of these two witnesses devour their enemies.
(Happening right at this moment.)
"Revelation compares the power of their divine commission and words of these two to the Old Testament prophets of old."
"Nobody lives like an old time prophet anymore" somebody once told me.
The prophets are not named in the Bible, but Professor Mayer claims their powers are compared to those of Elijah and Moses.
God famously performed miracles through Elijah, such as resurrection and bringing about drought, according to 1 Kings 17.
Moses meanwhile led the Jewish people out of Egypt after being a conduit for the 10 Plagues of Egypt."
"Professor Meyer said: "As with Jesus Christ himself, these two cannot be killed by the forces of evil until their ministry was fulfilled.
""But eventually at some point towards the end of the Great Tribulation, the witnesses will be murdered in Jerusalem, whose inhabitants will encourage and permit their deaths as they did the death of Christ.
"The world will celebrate their demise and deprive them of a proper burial, an act that is considered one of the greatest dishonours that could be inflicted upon a person.
"But according to Bible prophecy, the world’s laughter will be quickly turned to mourning as the witnesses will be raised to life in Jerusalem, as was Christ.
"As fear came upon those who witnessed the risen Christ (Matthew 28:4), so in like manner fear will come to those who see the resurrected witnesses.
"As Christ was killed, resurrected and ascended into heaven from Jerusalem in a cloud (Acts 1:9) and seen by many so in like manner will God’s two witnesses."
Happening. Get ready. Zion train is coming our way.
Why in the
world?
Would you even bother going through the motions of pretending to believe if you:
Say publicly, "There's got to be another way to get to heaven."
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I mean seriously if thats honestly how you feel? And something like 70% I think according to one survey said, 70% of Christians feel this way. My question is, why aren't you worshiping at those "other ways" to get to heaven places?
Laugh and mock God publicly and on a continual basis.
And flat out deny other parts of scripture?
Matthew 24:22
“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."
A spade is a spade is what I was always told. Along with beggars can't be choosers and Grin and bear it which just happens to be my most favorite one of them all.
And no, I absolutely will not let up.
It's like my buddy says:
"If you didn't do anything wrong? Then why are you acting so guilty?"
Yep.
Quote
of the night last night.
"Holy love is a cross."
I'm sitting over here like who are you talking too?
:-).
Know a lil bit.
Bout that topic.
Yep.
I love you honey.
Gotta
ask yourself...
How "targeted" would that pentagon funding have been if al qaeda killed 90,000 people last month instead of Covid?
And people still can't wrap their heads around why this country is being punished so? I mean that's a thing and there are a whole lot of other reasons as well...

How
in the world?
can you go to church, 40, 50, 60, 70 years and not understand scripture? Or read the bible and not understand it? Or always skipped Revelation? There is not but one reason. Proof is in the pudding I always been told.
John 8:47
Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Or how can you go to church decades on end and not understand the fundamental building block that is, God doesn't play favorites?
In fact I gotta truckload of verses says just that and two biblical stories nobody hardly ever reads and about 5-10 hours just on that one alone.
Hebrews 5:12
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
It is not the time for fluff. It's just not. I like what the book The New Mystics says:
"It's time to eat meat and spit fire."
Romans 8:11
Friday, February 5, 2021
Yep :-)
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Say I'm in no competition,
But I made my decision
You can keep your opinion
I'm just calling on the wiseman communion
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Sing along, sing along
I don't fear their aggression,
Just to prove my determination
I don't yield to temptation
I haven't learn't my lesson in Revelation
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me, yeah-eah-eah!
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing

Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing, yeah, yeah!
Thank you, Lord, for you made me sing
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
You're
not going to be able to escape it.
Amos 5:18-19
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Why
do you even bother?
Revelation 9:6
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
All day every day baby. I like this kinda party.
Thursday, February 4, 2021
The
most insulting thing to me of this whole saga was the fact that people didn't think I was smart enough to know what they were doing behind my back for years. Like all that wisdom, knowledge and understanding just cant apply to them and their intentions. Opps.
I don't need anybody's apology, you're all already forgiven.
But it was an insult, not just to me but the almighty as well.
"Even now..." says the verse in Joel 2.
I'd take it to heed...and soon...if I was you.
Oh
trust me, have we got a surprise cookin for you.
:-).
2 Corinthians 10:10
For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing.”
"The war is right outside your door
Now testify."
Plan on it yo.
Spiritual war that is.
I love you baby :-).
Revelation 12:11
Revelation 12:11
They triumphed over him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.
Hey I'm gonna leave instructions on how you beat somebody who is not accountable to anyone but God and their wife and isn't one bit afraid of death right here.
Yep wat follows right here is your instruction manual:
Revelation 3:12
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.
Resonates as much today as it did the first time I ever read it. Like that tuning fork that never stops vibrating. Pretty much continuous worship for close to a decade now. Don't need a building. You figure it out.
(Give ya a hint, Occam's razor yo :-)
Oh and God's "soon" is a lil different than mans.
During a vision your on God's turf.
Hebrews 5:12
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
If that aint the truth :-).
They got so much things to say right now
They got so much things to say
They got so much things to say right (now)
They got so much things to say
Hey, but I'll never forget, no way
They crucified Jessus Christ
I'll never forget, no way
They sold Marcus Garvey for rice, ooh
I'll never forget, no way
They turned their backs on Paul Bogle, hey, hey
So don't you forget, no you
Who you are and where you stand in the struggle
They got so very, so very, so very, so very, so very
So very, so very, so, so very
They sayin' everything, they sayin' so much today
They got so much things to say, so much things to say
Well, I and I and I no come to fight flesh and blood
But spiritual wickedness in high and low places
So while they fight you down
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises
'Cause I and I no expect to be justified
By the laws of men, by the laws of men
Whole jury found me guilty
But prove, truth shall prove my innocency
Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall now
It won't fall on one man's housetop, remember that
When the rain fall
It won't fall on one man's housetop
They singin', so very much, so very much, oh, so
So very much, so, so very
They got so much things to say right (now)
Yeah, they got so much things to say
Hey, but I and I, I and I no come to fight flesh and blood
Spiritual wickedness in high and low places
So while, so while, so while they fight you down
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises
I and I no expect to be justified
By the laws of men, by the laws of men
Hey, truth got to prove my innocency
I'm told the wicked think they found me guilty
They got, well, well, well, well, we we we well, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, they lubberin' all the time
So much things to (say) rumour about
They gotta rumour without humour, they don't know what they're doin', yeah
The
thing I would ask myself if I was on the outside lookin in at this situation is this,
"Why are these two getting blessed so much right at this particular time for?"
Goes back to:
Occam's razor
ISAIAH 1:18
Luke 16:30-31
Luke 14:28-30
Drew?
youre being all hardcore, what are we supposed to do?
Joel 2:12-14
Rend Your Heart
“Even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
Who knows? He may turn and relent
and leave behind a blessing—
grain offerings and drink offerings
for the Lord your God.
It's your only chance. But you gotta mean it cause not every one who cries ":Oh Lord Oh Lord" will be heard. Only those who mean it in their hearts.
Whatever
you do, gonna be given right back to you.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
And
Proverbs 10:24
What the wicked dread will overtake them;
what the righteous desire will be granted.
History
kinda repeating itself for those paying attention:
Matthew 21:31-32
“Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
("you" is the religious leaders and elders of the day Christ was addressing BTW)
Jeremiah 5:21
Hear this now, O foolish people,
Without understanding,
Who have eyes and see not,
And who have ears and hear not:
There is only one reason that is:
John 8:47
Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
While
were talking bout Isaiah
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together
Definition of Occam's razor
: a scientific and philosophical rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities.
THIS:
"This unconditional election is essentially related to the rest of the TULIP doctrinal outline and hinges upon the supreme belief in the absolute sovereignty of God over the affairs of man. God unconditionally elects certain people even though they are sinful as an act of his saving grace apart from the shortcomings or will of man. Those chosen have done nothing to deserve this grace."
AND THAT:
Romans 8:29-30
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Romans 8:33
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
VS: A mistake.
"explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities"
I just gave you three "known qualities". How many does "It was a mistake have? Case closed. The only reason it all makes sense is because its the truth. Ignore at your own peril.
Somebody
commented a while back on here something to the effect of, "Way to go lost everything and everybody" etc.
Matthew 16:25
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
Isaiah 54:17
"...and you will refute every tongue that accuses you..."
Proverbs 16:10
I assure you we probably have very different interpretations about what "the King" is in the verse.
Proverbs 16:10
A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
Sometimes God uses people to execute his judgements. It's a real thing yo. Believe that.
Shout things like:
Romans 12:3
Humble Service in the Body of Christ
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Hebrews 12:1-3
Romans 14:13-14
Tuesday, February 2, 2021
It's
"And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night..."
Might gonna have to look that one up if you've never read that book.
Oh hey I'm just getting started. Were not even in the middle innings yet. Wait till were coming down the homestretch. I'm taking it easy right now. I save my heavy hitters for last.
"Here all day baby. I like this kinda party." Ect
like watching dual three alarm fires. I really don't know how else to put it.
I love you baby.
How
Matthew 22:36-40
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
exactly do you reconcile that with not wearing a mask and/or not wanting to get vaccinated?
I mean will somebody please explain to me the mental gymnastics required so I can see how any of that would be congruent thought? Cause you know...I think all screwed up and stuff..
Second greatest commandment and people professing to be Christians are like nope, not me, doesn't apply etc.
Zion train is coming. It starting to be decision time about what side you're really on. It will show in your actions, not your words.
I
get that God takes mistakes and messes and makes them into miracles but that's not what happened here with me and Lucy.
To say that is to discredit the six or seven divine revelations that I had prior to meeting her and there's no telling how many she had prior to us meeting and I'm just not gonna go small. In fact I can't.
THIS:
"This unconditional election is essentially related to the rest of the TULIP doctrinal outline and hinges upon the supreme belief in the absolute sovereignty of God over the affairs of man. God unconditionally elects certain people even though they are sinful as an act of his saving grace apart from the shortcomings or will of man. Those chosen have done nothing to deserve this grace."
AND THAT:
Romans 8:29-30
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Romans 8:33
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
VS: A mistake.
Lets pretend were presenting our cases to a Judge. Who's side you wanna be on? The evidence is overwhelmingly tilted to one side.
"God unconditionally elects certain people even though they are sinful as an act of his saving grace apart from the shortcomings or will of man." Those chosen have done nothing to deserve this grace."
It's just 100% spot on. NOTHING about us was ever a mistake. Ever. Period, I know what it was, trust me I do and so does Lucy. And in the words of the Metallica song?
And nothing else natters.

Okay
so just to be clear.
More with Wesley than Calvin on everything except, Unconditional Election:
Also, Unconditional election only applies to The Elect.
John Calvin* Foundation laid by Augustine | John Wesley Foundation laid by Arminius | |
T | Total Depravity - Human beings are so affected by the negative consequences of original sin that they are incapable of being righteous, and are always and unchangeably sinful; human freedom is totally enslaved by sin so we can only choose evil. | Deprivation - Human beings are sinful and without God, incapable (deprived) on their own of being righteous; however, they are not irredeemably sinful and can be transformed by God’s grace; God's prevenient grace restores to humanity the freedom of will. |
U | Unconditional Election - Since human beings can only choose evil, God by His eternal decree has chosen or elected some to be counted as righteous, without any conditions being placed on that election. | Conditional Election - God has chosen that all humanity be righteous by His grace, yet has called us to respond to that grace by exercising our God-restored human freedom as a condition of fulfilling election. |
L | Limited Atonement - The effects of the Atonement, by which God forgave sinful humanity, are limited only to those whom He has chosen. | Unlimited Atonement - The effects of the Atonement are freely available to all those whom He has chosen, which includes all humanity, "whosoever will." |
I | Irresistible Grace - The grace that God extends to human beings to effect their election cannot be refused, since it has been decreed by God. | Resistible Grace - God’s grace is free and offered without merit; however, human beings have been granted freedom by God and can refuse His grace. |
P | Perseverance of the Saints - Since God has decreed the elect, and they cannot resist grace, they are unconditionally and eternally secure in that election. | Assurance and Security - There is security in God’s grace that allows assurance of salvation, but that security is in relation to continued faithfulness; we can still defiantly reject God. |
Revelation 2:9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Kind been ringing my bell for years on end now. Like a tuning fork that just won't quit. I always said it was like a vibration, a frequency if you will.
25 Important Bible Verses About Fake Christians
Sadly there are many false believers who will be expecting to go to Heaven and will be denied entrance. The best way to avoid being one is to make sure you have truly put your trust in Christ alone for salvation.
When you have repented and put your faith in Christ that will lead to a change of life. Follow God and educate yourself with his Word.
25 Important Bible Verses About Fake Christians
Many people follow false teachings from the Bible given by false preachers or they just refuse to obey instructions from God and follow their own minds.
There are many people who throw on the Christian name tag and think by just going to church they will be granted Heaven, which is false. You know there are people like that in your church and especially in the youth today.
You know there are people still having sex outside of marriage, still going to clubs, they still have a continuous willful potty mouth. Hell will be worse for these people than atheists. They are just Sunday Christians and they don’t care about Christ. Am I saying that a Christian is perfect? No. Can a Christian backslide? Yes, but there will be growth and maturity in a true believers life because it is God working in them. They won’t just remain in darkness if they are the Lord’s sheep because God will discipline them and also His sheep hear His voice.
Quotes
Laurence J Peter – “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car.”
“Don’t let your lips and your lives preach two different messages.”
“Your most powerful testimony is how you treat others after the church service is over.”
“What a heartbreak it would be to live an “almost” Christian life, then “almost” get into heaven.”
Beware there are many.
1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.
3. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. (We all got work to do :-)
4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark.
5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good.
Fake Christians sin on purpose saying, “I’ll just repent later” and disobey God’s teachings. Even though we are all sinners Christians don’t sin willfully and deliberately.
6. 1 John 2:4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
7. 1 John 3:6 Those who live in Christ don’t go on sinning. Those who go on sinning haven’t seen or known Christ.
8. 1 John 3:8-10 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil has been doing. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God.
9. 3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
10. Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord but don’t do what I tell you?
These people think there is another way to get into Heaven.
11. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.“
True Christians have new affections and love Jesus.
12. John 14:23-24 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.”
13. 1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.
14. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
They are hypocrites. Even though the Bible says we are to lovingly, kindly, and gently go to our brothers and sisters alone to correct them of their sins, how can you do that, but you’re doing the same thing as them just as much or even more than them? People who do things for show such as give to the poor and other acts of kindness to be seen by others are also hypocrites.
15. Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
16. Matthew 6:1-2 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
17. Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
They will not enter into Heaven. False converts will be denied.
18. Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
19. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
20. Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Fake Christians are false preachers and false prophets just like the cast of Preachers of LA.
21. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
22. Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
23. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
24. Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Reminder
25. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

There will be no pity or sympathy in the time of justice, none, zero:
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
The only way he doesn't know you is if your don't know him.
It's kinda special message to all the pretenders, posers and imposters out there of which there are plenty.
Its:
Mark 3:28-29
Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
So, shouldn't have been pretending, hence:
Luke 13:25
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
The master is God and the door is the gateway to heaven.
There will be no pity or sympathy in the time of justice, none, zero:
If you knew how big of a bloodbath it actually is you would have accepted Christ a long time ago. Promise ya.

Disagreement Between Paul and Barnabas
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing.” Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord. He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
I'm just not of the persuasion that God needs men to quarrel to get his will to be done.
"This unconditional election is essentially related to the rest of the TULIP doctrinal outline and hinges upon the supreme belief in the absolute sovereignty of God over the affairs of man. God unconditionally elects certain people even though they are sinful as an act of his saving grace apart from the shortcomings or will of man. Those chosen have done nothing to deserve this grace."
Kinda living that right in front of people so...like I said, I'm just not of the persuasion that God needs men to quarrel to get his will to be done. Never even read about the TULIP doctrine.
Romans 8:29-30
"For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."
Speaks for itself.
I don't really care what John Wesley thought or anybody else for that matter.
I love you baby :-).
