  A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.

  by Fisherman in

  obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.

  and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.

  in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

  Neither Rev 5:10 or Luke 12:32. say anything about Christians who are unjustified, not in the New Covenant, and bereft of the indwelling Holy Spirit and the heavenly hope.

  Axiomatically does because only christians are saved based on the ransom and nobody else. However Jesus refers to christians with the heavenly hope as a little flock. Little flock compared to what? Billions of goats or a lager flock of christians that are not the bride of christ. Revelation also describes a populated earth. Of who? Heathens or Christians under the heavenly rule of the Messianic kingdom consisting of Jesus and the New Jerusalem? It is very obvious that many christians will inhabit the earth after the final judgment.

  The End of the (Jewish) World

  by fulltimestudent in

  it really wasn't the end of the jewish world in70 ce, when the romans laid siege to jerusalem.

  jewish thought, since it had developed a philosophical (i.e.

  fictional) foundation, survived until today.

  Nice post and link!

  Regarding the end of the Jewish world, this refers to the end of the Jewish religious system of worship based on the Temple and the priests who were descendants of divinely appointed Aaron. That Jewish system originated with ( according to tye Bible) God: “..we worship what we know because salvation originates with the Jews.” Whereas the rabbinical judaism that developed in Javneh after 70 which survived until present —like the Samaritans and all the other nations that are still around— show zero evidence of divine appointment or approval. Besides that, 70 marked the end of Jewish society in the land of Israel until modern times when the republic of Israel was formed in the land of palestine which is mostly secular. Another difference is that prior to 70, a Jew good or bad was described by his tribe or race. Today a Jew is usually defined as someone who belongs to the religion that practices rabbinical Judaism or even a Karaite but no Jew today can document his lineage to any of the 12 tribes. So does that make a person a Jew according to Bible standards because he practices a form of modern day Judaism and can we conclude that the Jewish world did not end in 70??

  Arthritis pain. What works for you?

  by Fisherman in

  2. medical

  there are several prescription meds people use to relieve the pain of arthritis.

  they work by suppressing the immune system or by reducing inflammation.

  people also use otc anti-inflammatory pills, and even anti-allergy pills are reported to work because of being able to also reduce inflammation but people tell me that they are concerned to use some meds regularly because of potential side effects in long term use.

So, I was wondering if anyone can share how they deal with the pain of arthritis or suchlike autoimmune diseases and if they’ve found something not placebo or panacea that works for them.

  • Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and associate with an organization with headquarters in New York and work hard for your gift of salvation.

    I answered that in my previous posts.

    You have not made a reply to my answer. But no pressure, you have a right to keep asserting your view.

  Perhaps to your satisfaction.

  You don’t need to like the answer, only need to challenge it not by repeating the same assertions over and over again. As if by filibuster would validate you belief by reasserting your position and not by rebuttal.

  There are tons of famous songs and actors and singers that are known nationally and some internationally from the 1900s. Now, nothing.

  Movie and music studios aren't looking for great sounds and great stories. They have corporate formulas.

  Zero actors and singers too,

  If that's the case, why are you "working hard for the reward of eternal life"?

  I’ve already answered that.

  we remember the good stuff and forget that 90% was always crap.

  I agree that we didn’t like every song and movie decades ago but we respected it. And we could look forward to new hits and bands and great movies all the time. —Its all over now. Unless you can point to something of worth nowdays.
