    The title of this discussion is somewhat paraphrased... but one of his students quoted near death experiencer Dr. Kenneth as having expressed that basic idea..... several times!

    Apparently what he meant was that such off the scale spiritual power and authority had been given as an inheritance to the followers of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus that.......... if Christians were on fire.... and had real faith..... and had real love for their families and friends and co - workers........ and if Christians even made a sincere effort to pray for their enemies........ then America would experience off the scale blessing and Shalom and peace and prosperity BUT.......
    .... BUT.....
    BUT.... THE MODERN CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS LUKEWARM AND LAODICEAN IN ATTITUDE...... and is all messed up by distractions that Stanley Milgram Lucifer Satan is putting in front of us!!!!

    Revelation chapter three sure does sound like a warning to the twenty first century church!

    Certainly, if Jesus' message were truly being applied, things would not be where they are.

    Absolutely true.....

    ... Where I work the hit songs of the seventies, eighties and nineties are being played continually. Apparently.... at least sixty percent... if not seventy percent... but perhaps even ninety percent of the most famous musicians..... and actors in Hollywood are witches and warlocks.......
    who.... do rituals..... before they are given their hit songs or starring roles in movies!

    I do believe that as a Christian I should be really, really, really worried for the eternal souls of all these people.....
    even though they have made terrible choices.....
    They gained lots of money and fame during this physical life but.....

    .... they have been deceived in a way that makes the wealthiest people on earth into the most pitiable people alive......

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5-7&version=NIV

    43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.





    Matthew chapter five on youtube....





    Ex-Worlock John Ramirez has stated that Heath Ledger was killed by Satan... due to his not being sufficiently thankful to Satan for the level of fame that he had been given.......

    ... with Satan.... you better not cheat on paying your tithes!!!!!

    I can't remember if that statement about Heath Ledger is in this particular video or not... but I heard him say that!




    I did a search for John Ramirez, Heath Ledger and this video came up....

    Unfortunately, Jesus' message has and remains generally misunderstood.
    The greatest teachers throughout time have repeatedly insisted that the material is not what counts.

    What I hear is that the extremist feels that other extremists have not been extreme enough to take the country to an extreme point. I would be extremely concerned but I’m sleepy.

    One person who teaches how to apply biblical principles
    started with man's pain and how to cure it, and worked from there
    and his name is Jordan B Peterson.
    Everything he has said has made me stronger.

    I don't think that America's decay is due to either the lack or abundance of righteousness of its Church's. I think it's due to the absence of love for even the basic tenets of civility and conscience among the nations general population from which the Church's are peopled.

    Two thousand years ago, God's Son Jesus Christ came to save, and they murdered him. They also murdered his Apostles and early members of his Church. So surely righteousness in and of itself holds no power over the free agency of others. What then is a Church to do more than that? Keep in mind that Satan and a third of heavens hosts rebelled against God in his very presence. Was God not righteous enough?

    That's not to say that any person or Church has no room for improvement. But to say that one persons imperfection, love for and reliance upon God, is somehow the cause of another persons unrepentant love of evil, is a falsehood. Everyone is free to accept or reject Gods sacrifice. Like Joshua said, "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve."

    This holds true in a secular sense as well, in consideration of right and wrong, in either obeying or disobeying the law, and in how we live our lives and treat others.

    As much as there is commendable in the churches, nonetheless there are some in the churches
    urged to repent immediately and stand against the ungodliness around them.

    I do believe that Christians have accomplished a lot of good here in the USA and Canada and around the world.......

    Near death experiencer Kevin Zadai Th. D. talks about being in a particular foreign nation that is one of the wealthiest nations on earth.......

    but when he prayed and rebuked Satan with a room full of listeners..... a high percentage of the room began coughing.... and many fell on the floor.... as they experienced what I believe is called DELIVERANCE from some of their demons or devils.

    Here in Canada and America the average person may tend to be much less demonized......
    due to the positive impact that Christians are having......

    ... but I do believe that I personally have fallen far, far, far, far, far ,far far, short of what I could have done for everybody that I know if I had prayed for them with a greater level of compassion... and faith!!!

    Here is the lecture where Dr. Zadai mentions that rather extreme reaction in a large European nation where the Christian church is far, far, far, far less influential than here in the USA or Canada.

    Your tenacity is commendable. But you can't save everyone, nor should you. God wants the best or the best of ourselves. Jesus said the way to life(himself and gospel) is narrow, where few enter. But the way to death, which is anywhere outside of himself and his gospel, is broad, where many enter.

    I finally found the place in that video where he talks about that event.... it is just after the 2:40:00 minute mark in that video....




    You are absolute correct that not everybody can be brought to repentance but......
    sometimes if one or two or three people make a positive shift the results over a number of years can be astonishing......

    The fundamental problem with churches is that we expect the pastors to be saintly. I much prefer someone who will stand up there and say, "Sure I have my doubts" and "I really don't know what this means to us today" than someone who thinks they are infallible who knows exactly what every word and every sentence in the Bible means.

    True. Honesty is supposed to be part of Christianity, there's a rule somewhere that goes like: thou shalt not lie.
    Different people interpret that in different ways, detail differences, but it is pretty clear it is a ban on duplicity.

    Or as Dr. Peterson puts it: tell the truth, or at least, do not lie.

    Someone told me the defense budget was the biggest item of expenditure,
    I agreed it is way over size, but for 2023 it was 103.2 billion dollars which is
    far less than wasted on the bureaucracy of health insurance.

    He didn't agree, until I reminded him that 90% of what is called 'defense'
    has absolutely nothing to do with actual defense, as the Department
    of Defense made clear after 9/11 that they have no direct responsibility for
    defense.

    The first thing that happens to some new jet planes is they get loaded onto
    an aircraft carrier and taken to the other side of the planet where they can't
    possibly defend us.

    Then double-think is used that the best form of defense is offense.
    Apparently that's true in American Football where nobody defends
    their goal and everyone attacks the other goal.

    So in war we blow up some wedding party, by drone,
    and hope we will create some enemies, so we can get
    more weapons to defend ourselves
    against the enemies we just made.

    In 2021 Congress sent 'defensive' weapons to Zelensky,
    when there were no Russian targets they could be used on
    in the country. They were of course used on the 'breakaway
    republics' of Donbass and Luhansk to kill civilians.
    And maybe it was understandable that the Russian Federation
    moved some forces in to remove those artillery pieces.

    To make any sense of what is going on we need to start telling the truth.

    I think your real point is that we need to love, accept and support EACH OTHER.

    That is, "due to the absence of love for even the basic tenets of civility and conscience among the nations general population from which the Church's are peopled"

    In Matthew as I've often quoted, Jesus order Christians to search out those in poverty, in prison, in hospital that we may help them.

    He didn't suggest or demonstrate hate for fellow man.

    Yes, he got killed. That was the plan. It is hard for me to imagine that he wouldn't be killed, given that he came to Earth to invalidate the religion of God's chosen people.

    But, that's not an excuse. For better or worse, we all need to follow the directive of Jesus in Matthew and the principles of how Jesus led his life.

    Regardless of what religion anyone follows, that's a solid philosophy.

    I agree except for the bolded words. "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:17-18

    WOW!!!!!!

    WOW!!!!!!!

    You have made some exceptionally good points Yangforward!!!!!!

    I personally am a pretty huge supporter of President Trump BUT...... I have to admit that I am more than just a tiny bit disappointed with his FOUR HUNDRED or so group of Christian Advisors......

    none of whom apparently warned him that perhaps....... JUST PERHAPS..... it might NOT be a good idea to give away the real estate on which THE EZEKIEL CHAPTER FORTY TO FORTY EIGHT TEMPLE COMPLEX SHOULD BE BUILT ON!!!!!!!!

    Now we all know that it is hard to get good help these days..... BUT...... surely out of FOUR HUNDRED Christian Advisors....... there should have been at least one or two who would have remembered who JOHN MCTERNAN WAS........ and would not be so obsessed with their own little ministry that they would bring up his name to President Trump.... and warn President Trump that there was a pretty serious flaw in The Abrahamic Peace Accords!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Former Covering Cherub Halel... who I have renamed Stanley Milgram Lucifer Satan......
    must be sitting back and laughing and laughing and laughing at those FOUR HUNDRED CHRISTIAN ADVISORS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP......

    who HAVE NOT told him that President Trump was headed in the direction of MAKING A BIDEN LEVEL STUPIDITY...... THAT COULD RESULT IN THE DEATHS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ANY CHRISTIAN WITH TWO FUNCTIONAL SYNAPTIC PATHWAYS WOULD KNOW...... DO NOT DIVIDE THE HOLY LAND..... DO NOT GIVE AWAY REAL ESTATE IN ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ESPECIALLY NOT THE REAL ESTATE ON WHICH THE EZEKIEL CHAPTER FORTY TO FORTY EIGHT TEMPLE COMPLEX MUST BE BUILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AND I PLEAD GUILTY...... IF I HAD NOT MET A MAN HERE IN TORONTO.... who has written up a brilliant article on this topic...... I ALSO WOULD HAVE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT MR. JOHN MCTERNAN....... IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT I SAW HIM AT LEAST ONCE ON THE SID ROTH TELECAST!!!!!!!!

    The Christian Political Cyrus / The Audition and President Donald J. Trump.

    EXACTLY!!!!!!

    And let's say that President Trump's FOUR HUNDRED CHRISTIAN ADVISORS...... TOOK EZEKIEL CHAPTER FORTY TO FORTY EIGHT SERIOUSLY...... AND BELIEVED THAT THERE IS OFF THE SCALE POWERFUL AND POSITIVE HIDDEN MEANING IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN...... .AND THEY BEGAN TO PROMOTE AND TO PRAY ABOUT THE BUILDING OF A LITERAL EZEKIEL CHAPTER FORTY TO FORTY EIGHT TEMPLE COMPLEX.... BY THE JEWS AND FOR THE JEWS BUT.......

    ..... FOUR HUNDRED CHRISTIAN ADVISORS TO THE PRESIDENT..... PROMOTE RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL FREEDOM FOR ISRAELIS WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THE PROPHET EZEKIEL WAS SENT TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.... AND THAT WHAT HE WROTE WAS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!


    Let's postulate that several of these FOUR HUNDRED CHRISTIAN ADVISORS to the President of the United States from January of 2017 to January of 2021...... WERE NOT SO OBSESSED WITH THEIR OWN MINISTRIES... THAT THEY WOULD BRING UP THE NAME OF PASTOR SHANE WARREN TO PRESIDENT TRUMP...... AND SUGGEST THAT HE LISTEN TO THIS GUY........

    .... BECAUSE HINDSIGHT IS 20-20..... AND NOW THAT I AM LOOKING BACK ON ALL OF THIS.....
    I have to wonder if perhaps Biden..... may have saved the lives of MILLIONS OR EVEN TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS BY DELAYING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TERRIBLY FLAWED ABRAHAMIC PEACE ACCORDS????????

    Yes, that's what he said! And, a Christian would absolutely believe that.

    They would see the prophecy as referring to Jesus, that Jesus was one with God. That a NEW covenant was formed, rendering the old covenant moot.

    The fact that the old covenant was replaced clearly invalidated Judaism. The new testament does NOT suggest that one way to heaven is to follow Judaism.

    As for Islam, they revere Jesus as the highest prophet mentioned in the Bible, the only prophet to carry our miracles through the power of God. But, like Judaism they accept Jesus as a man, and have a pathway to heaven perhaps more similar to Judaism.

    Jesus Christ is the first fruit of Judaism. His mission was the fulfillment of one aspect of Judaism. The remainder of the prophecies and laws must also be made perfect and come to fruition, just as that which came to fruition in the great sacrifice made by Jesus Christ.. It is the Fathers work. Jesus said that all the prophecies and laws of Judaism will remain and be perfected until the Fathers work is done, and the earth and heaven pass away. God the Father has many more wonderful and marvelous works to accomplish. In Matthew 14:12 Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." This goes to the same point of a magnification of the Fathers work in the fulfilling of Judaic prophecy and law, which others will carry out because Jesus mission was fulfilled and he had to return to his Father. Jesus Christs mission wasn't the end. It was the beginning. It wasn't the death of Judaism. It was its rebirth. To say that's all there is, that Judaism is dead, and that Jesus Christs mission is the end, is like plucking the first fruit from a tree and then cutting the tree down. It is senseless. It is also contrary to Jesus own words. I don't care what practicing Jews or traditional Christians think or practice. This is the truth. Jews who reject Christ are no worse than Christians who reject Judaism. They both deny the power and work of the God of Israel.

    Is Judaism a religion that fully enables its strong followers to be saved and taken to heaven?
