    How does one find a church with such a pastor or a solid church?

    Please help, this is a serious question. Eternity depends upon it
  • Bro Barney - In Reply on Titus 1 - 3 years ago
    Alia,

    Look for a church that seeks to glorify God by spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ignore denominations and ask questions. The first question I ask of any pastor is "do you believe in eternal salvation" or "do you believe once saved always saved." If they answer yes to this, then they understand the work and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus is life and gives it freely to any that seek Him.

    Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

    Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

    Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

    Greetings in Christ

    Hate and reward.Yes, Mat.10:22 and 3:10 you quoted both will fulfill LITERALLY now in the END of the times,according to the warnings and promises of our Lord JESUS.

    The Christians believers must be focused in the signs of the END of this WORLD and return of the Lord JESUS Christ.Soon we will enter in the period of 7 days known as the last week-Dan.9:v.27.The Word is God,what is written will fulfill LITERALLY.

    Matthew 24:1-8

    1 Jesus went out,and departed from the temple:and his disciples came to Him for to shew Him the buildings of the temple.

    2 And Jesus said unto them,See ye not all these things?verily I say unto you,There shall not be left here one stone upon another,that shall not be thrown down.

    (This prophecy fulfilled LITERALLY in the year 70AD,and Israel was banned from their land during 1878 years,in fulfilment Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

    3 And as JESUS sat upon the mount of Olives,the disciples came unto him privately,saying,Tell us, when shall these things be?

    - and what shall be the sign of thy coming?

    - And of the END of the world?

    Here's the signs listed by JESUS:

    4 And Jesus answered unto them:

    - Take heed that no man deceive you.(this was the first concerns of JESUS)

    5 For many shall come in my name,saying, I am Christ;and shall deceive many.

    -(Soon will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb,actually a false lamb,a false messiah,AN IMPOSTER,as said JESUS- John 5:v.43 combined with Rev.13:v.11.(Check it)

    6 And ye shall hear of WARS and RUMOURS of WARS:see that ye be not troubled:for all these things must come to pass,but the END is not yet.

    7 For nation shall rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines,and pestilences,and earthquakes,in divers places.

    Will be G7 and G20,and EU,and UNO,among others Entities,DISSOLVED from now on?According 2Pe.3:11&12,day after day the events in this World will go in this direction.

    But

    8 All these are the beginning of sorrow

    OSEAS,

    Dear sir,

    I must inform you that 3.5 years of the 7 last years have been fulfilled. Christ had the first half of the week, and was crucified, cut off. The prophesy is not in consecutive years, having space between the two.

    anti-christ begins his 3.5 years at the "falling away", ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

    This is a solid approach to understanding anti-christ's short time on earth.

    Greetings in Christ JESUS

    Sorry, your information is not accurate. The 3.5 years of the 7 last years have NOT been fulfilled as you claim.

    I agree "The prophesy is not in consecutive years", but not in the manner you are interpreting.

    Christ JESUS crucified (cut off) had/has nothing to do with the entire week of seven years as you believe.

    JOHNATHAN, what prevails is the Word of GOD. The Word is GOD.

    Daniel 9:26-27-CJB-Complete Jewish Bible-

    v.26 Then, AFTER the sixty-two weeks, Mashiach will be cut off and have nothing. The people of a PRINCE YET TO COME will destroy the city and the sanctuary,...

    v.27 He (the EVIL PRINCE) will make A STRONG COVENANT WITH LEADERS FOR ONE WEEK [of years]. ...

    Comments:

    Do you see? Based in the Word of GOD,A SATANIC AND DESTRUCTIVE PRINCE rules the week 70th BY ENTIRE, i.e.7 YEARS, and makes A STRONG COVENANT WITH LEADERS FOR ONE WEEK [of years]. ...

    These terrible EVENTS revealed in the Word of GOD quoted above didn't happen in the time of JESUS, or rather, during His Ministry, He had already been cut off before the week 70th, there is a gap between the week 69 and 70, and JESUS never saw, neither heard to speak of that satanic PRINCE during His Ministry, no destruction occurred by any prince in the time of JESUS, until He be crucified.

    For better understanding, WE NEED TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS, because in this POINT - Daniel 9:v.26-27-, that is, AFTER the END of the week 69,the prophecy reveals a PRINCE is working in his STRONG COVENANT with LEADERS during the week 70th;This satanic EVENT did not occur in the time of JESUS.

    Who is this EVIL prince?

    What kind of STRONG COVENANT the satanic PRINCE makes with leaders for one week [of years]?

    Who are these leaders?

    In this POINT - Daniel 9:v.26-27-,that is, AFTER the END of the week 69,a PRINCE is working in his strong COVENANT with leaders to be applied for ONE WEEK divided in two periods of 3,5 years or 42 months (first half and 2nd half)

    Its it

    OSEAS,

    There are several ways to look at this scripture. It is wrapped in mystery that's not easily meant to see. Esoteric in nature. I can only take the essence of the story and see how fits & splits between Jesus' and satan's earthly ministries. You have to think your way through it, it could take years, some you'll never know. God is going to make you work for what he previously has spelled out in allegory.

    Daniel 9:27 allegory makes me envision the beast army forewarning its Babylon attack, thinking about placing the abomination that makes desolate (smart missiles) ( Joel 2:4-11) ( Isaiah 47) ( Revelation 18). This sixth trumpet, surprise event begins anti-christ's 3.5 year reign.

    ( Daniel 9:27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
