JESSIE-JESS thank you for posting this story-----the BIBLE tells us to spread the gospel I offer small tracts that i can carry in my shirt pocket-- some people take them ---some people do not but i always tell the people if they take the tract to please read it---then after i hand out tracts i pray that the people read them dgrimm60

We pray "lead us not into temptation". God ALLOWS the Devil to tempt (test) us. God "set a hedge" around Job to protect him, because of Job's obedience and loyalty. Then He took the hedge away, allowing Satan to "test" Job. But he still prevented Satan from killing Job. So who is responsible - the one who actually attacks, or the one who keeps the attacker on a chain until someone needs "testing"?? God can heal, but does or does not - based upon His "plan". Thousands and thousands of children have slowly starved to death on this planet. We prosecute parents who do not provide food, shelter, and protection for their own children. We call it child endangerment, when parents or other designated adults leave children in peril. I guess that standard does not apply during wartime?? Or perhaps the children of those who "know not God" are NOT counted as "God's children". I realize that we were all born into a war zone. What part is God responsible for? He is all-powerful. He COULD set limits to protect little children, or animals, but He does not. The "whole creation" groans in pain. I'm just asking... Looking for "better" answers.

When Jesus came to Israel and presented the Gospel of the Kingdom, they saw Him as a 'sheep in wolves clothing' (not a wolf in sheep's clothing), which is why they wanted to kill Him. The leadership of Israel believed lies as if it was the truth. When Jesus pointed this out to them He appeared to them as a wolf, not as a sheep (one of them). They saw Jesus as a sheep because of His works: "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." John 3:2. But when He spoke and told them the Truth come from God they then perceived Him as a wolf.

The biblical AoD did not occur in 70 AD; it is an event yet in the future. There are many possible interpretations of what it is in a futuristic sense. My current thinking is that it is an action by the Antichrist where he sets himself up as a god to be worshipped in a yet-to-be-built 3rd temple or in the Dome of the Rock (which is situated on the site of the previous 2 Jewish Temples). The AoD could also just be another name for the Antichrist, who is himself an abomination. In comparing Christian and Islamic eschatology, this Antichrist or AoD will be the coming Mahdi.

Kind of reminds us about the 1260 year prophecy/middle ages, where the Bible was also forbidden!!

Let me quote the One whom this statue is supposed to be representing: "Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood." -Revelation 22:15, NIV "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." - Matthew 6:24, NIV ((Emphasis added.))
