    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    Matthew is Jesus-speak. Thessalonians is Paul-speak. Whenever the two show ANY inclinations of differing, I go with Jesus. Jesus is speaking to the inner being of individuals. Paul is speaking to the leadership of a new congregation of followers. It the difference of hearing the wisdom of the...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    By the way, if you're going to quote that, how about this: 1 Thessalonians 5:3 - While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."

    The Four Horsemen

    I wonder if that 'rosy' saying of 'Peace and Security.....' will really prove to be a calm or just the saying of Peace and Security.... ? I thought it was interesting that before I retired about year 2000 the guys in the garage and in the showroom seemed to agree that the 'end' would be in 30...

    The Four Horsemen

    The sign was seen from 1914, not this war. This war along with all the others that have been (since the great war), or ever will be, is only an ongoing process, until the finale. Things continue to advance from bad to worst. However, the time will come when there will be calm before the storm...

    Matthew 5:6

    'Wait a long time' because __________________ I find coupled with the world scene today, it is just as Jesus said that the good news about God's kingdom government being declared on a global international scale as it is now done as never before in history. This means we are nearing the 'final...

    A question for Baha’is and Jehovah Witnesses.

    What about the previous two verses: The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. John, "The Gospel of John - ευαγγέλιο του ιωάννη", 4:19 In context, Samaritans...

    A question for Baha’is and Jehovah Witnesses.

    Jesus clearly identified "the Jews" as those through whom salvation (in the form of the Messiah) would come. John 4:21-24... "Jesus said to her [the Samaritan woman] : “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You...

    If Jesus returned to this world, how would you know it was Jesus?

    Paul, not Jesus. How Paul changed the course of Christianity

    If Jesus returned to this world, how would you know it was Jesus?

    That's in English. Might I recommend some language research?

    1 Thessalonians 5:3 “For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    Many of the dominant currents in societies are pushing people apart, not drawing them together.

    I’m glad some are recognizing the trend! For us as JW’s, it continues to confirm that these are the Last Days. — Matthew 24:7-14 (verse 8 says these are a “beginning of pangs of distress.” We believe it began in 1914); Luke 21:25-26 is especially poignant for our day. (BTW, the “sea”, mentioned...

    Signs for our times

    I see this view fits this OP perfectly, I would say, knowing the views of my JW friends, that the JW would definitely play a part in the unfolding of the verses quoted in the OP post. Good thing is, you know we will only offer you all peace and goodwill. Regards Tony

    Signs for our times

    Since God gave Daniel information about the March of world powers 500 years before Jesus walked the earth, it was hardly a secret to those in the spirit realm as to when the close of the age would come. Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar saw a huge image in a dream sent by God. It was made of...

    Grand Imam: ‘Pope Francis restores to humanity its consciousness'

    Of course this is not it. But it does show that they are still working towards it. "Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape."-1 Thessalonians 5:3...

    Fundamentalism and a New World Order

    A new world order is prophesied in the Bible actually...one from God that will bring about true peace and security and righteousness to the earth (2 Peter 3:13).....but there is also one that will be attempted by man.....a pseudo mimic of the kingdom of God, that is brought about by humans with...

    And folks who fit that example have a much better track record than the doomsayers.

    The End Is Here..... Again

    Sure, why not. I mean after the nearly infinite number of failed "ends" I am more than justified in being skeptical. And to be flat out honest about it, overwhelmingly underwhelmed by yet another "end" that does not occur. Sadly, it will be another miss that is ignored.
