Amos 8:11-12, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it."

Can you think of examples of this Scripture coming to pass in these days? What are some of the examples that come to mind?

why humans are the only creature past or present that possesses a moral conscience?

can you?

when God has made His existence evident in all that He created and to any person who wants to know Him personally, God has made this promise?

Jeremiah 29:13

And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.

It would be like denying that love does not exist because a scientist cannot measure love on his scales or in his test tubes, yet you won't hear an atheist claim that love does not exist.

It's ludicrous, to those who have experienced love. Those who have KNOW, not think, but KNOW it exists. Knowing God exists found exactly the same way. Through undeniable experience that cannot be measured on a scale or in a test tube. Just as God's creation shouts of His existence through observation. Love also shouts of its existence through observation.

Think about that.

(especially to OSAS believers)

Matthew 25:1-13

1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Romans 8:12-14

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

If heaven, why?

If hell, why?

Please don't answer if you don't believe heaven and hell exist, as I already know your answer. Thank you.

If you need help to decipher the difference between the two, take this short survey and then answer.

Only those who consider themselves Christians answer please.

to live lifestyles of sin and to encourage others in their sinfilled lifestyles while ignoring/dismissing the first and foremost?

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 neighbour as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Are they not deceiving themselves and others?

I believe the Word of God says yes, they are.

James 4:4

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Have you thought to consider why the Disciples gathered, preached, worshiped on the first day of the week? Could it be that they were actually keeping the Sabbath by resting on Saturday? I am not implying that we as adopted sons of God shall be bound to Sabbaths, Harvests or any other thing as Paul said we are not, however, the Sabbath day was put in place for man by God and not by God for God. God gave the Sabbath for a day of rest. Is it rest to set your alarm, iron your clothes, get dressed, drive to Church, spend half the day engaging in "Church activities" on the supposed Sabbath? So to the "Sabbath Keepers" who condemn those who go to Church on the first day of the week, and rest on Saturday, which of us is really a "Sabbath Keeper"?

If it cannot save your soul, what good is it? Might as well join a peaceful crafts class.

The fact of the matter is, the name of Jesus is brings the most offense across the board, yet He is the only one who has the power to save our souls. Imagine that.

Jesus wasn't the "flower child, new age Jesus" that some try to present Him as. He was a radical. He was anything but PC. He did not "hang out with sinners." He ministered to sinners, and they were converted in His presence, They did not preach to Jesus that their sin wasn't sin and He did not "accept them the way that they were". He preached, they were changed, repented and were received.

He is the stone that the builders rejected.

Jesus said in Matthew 10:34-37:

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
