Yeah I figured you trolls would like that...stand up! Are you a Christian? Guess what you are not dealing with school kids.

sinful nature is always hostile to God....

Twice as long as it needs to since one side is using logic and reason and the other is using copy and paste

Then you must be copying and pasting because you have yet to illustrate any logic or reasoning. If you are going to play his Sancho Panza, at least get up to the level of Don Quixote. His standards of arguing are much higher than yours.

An Oracle Against Damascus

(ISAIAH 17:1)

“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
but will become a heap of ruins."
​

(ISAIAH 17:14)​

"In the evening, sudden terror!
Before the morning, they are gone!"​

Damascus-Doom Deliberations ​

Observers of news and trends at present are watching, particularly, the Middle East and Russia's entrance into Syria. Russia has had an interest in the region, of course, for as long as the Soviet Union and now the Russian Federation have been around. However, recent developments have ushered in a new and most fascinating era. Things happening in this regard are, to those who look at those developments through the prism of Bible prophecy, nothing short of phenomenal.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has inserted his influence into that volatile region and is having profound impact on the unfolding of events. We have written in these commentaries a number of times, and others have written that Mr. Putin certainly appears to fit the archetype description of the "Gog" character of the Gog-Magog assault into the Middle East as prophesied by Ezekiel, presented in Ezekiel chapters 38-39.

The Gog-Magog attack is described as being like a "storm to cover the land." Vladimir Putin has been doing what might be described as "taking like a storm" everywhere he asserts his influence.

An interesting news excerpt describes his rambunctious escapades and the way he is perceived in many quarters as follows:

Posters of Putin are popping up on cars and billboards elsewhere in parts of Syria and Iraq, praising the Russian military intervention in Syria as one that will redress the balance of power in the region.

The Russian leader is winning accolades from many in Iraq and Syria, who see Russian airstrikes in Syria as a turning point after more than a year of largely ineffectual efforts by the U.S.-led coalition to dislodge the Islamic State militants who have occupied significant parts of the two countries. ("Amid Russian airstrikes, a Putin craze takes hold in Mideast," Yahoo News, Oct. 12, 2015)

There are even many in the U.S. who now see Putin and the Russians as doing God's work-literally! I have read a number of accounts of clergy and others who say that Putin is showing "Christian leadership" in doing what President Obama is unable to do or is unwilling to do-that is, take it to the ISIS or, as Mr. Obama insists on calling the horde, ISIL.

Imagine! A hard-liner Soviet communist--once head of, or at least near the top of the old KGB, seen as a true Christian who is out to eliminate the threat to the Christian world and the world at large!

Of course, the reality to anyone with the sense the Lord gave a gopher is that the head Russian is still a KGB guy in every sense. He is playing to his mesmerized audience by destroying some ISIS forces, but is 100 percent committed to destroying the American-supported rebels who want to dislodge Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad from power.

The reason, or reasons, he is so committed include the fact that he now has his voracious, bear-like eyes focused on the riches to the south. He has already achieved much of his goal. He has his navy docked now in warm waters, free to move about any time of the year to further his reestablishment of Soviet-style domination. He is increasing his insertion of Russian ground forces by the day. If this isn't near-fulfillment of the Ezekiel prophecy that Gog will put hooks in Gog's jaws and turn him southward toward the mountains of Israel, then I've misunderstood the meanings of that prophecy. I'm of the opinion that this is a part of that hooks in the jaws process that will likely play out over a period of time yet. There are many things that need to come into prophetic place before the Gog-Magog attack as described will be launched. Key to that preparation is the question: What is meant by the description of how Israel will be "at rest" and "without walls"?

At present, Israel is suffering attacks by "lone wolf" assaults, apparently ordered by ISIS and other terrorist organizations. Israel's citizenry is being terrorized by stabbings conducted by individuals--actions that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will no doubt react to by instituting quite harsh measures at some point soon. This will bring more blame to Israel and sympathy to the Islamist murderers who are killed in the process of their obedience to their Islamist masters.

Into this mixture of satanic hatred now comes further arrangements of significance, in my view. To me, this matter involves further confirmation that proves the veracity of God's prophetic Word. It just might prove to be part of the reason Damascus will one day receive the foretold blow from which it will never recover. (Read Isaiah 17: 1).

It is the first inklings that the Gog-Magog forces' top three diabolists are reportedly getting their heads together in thinking on the whole Middle Eastern region dilemma. To me it is more than merely coincidental that these are beginning to coalesce.

ISTANBUL - Turkey would hold talks with Russia and Iran to work towards a political solution in Syria but would not take a foreign policy stance which "legitimizes the Syrian regime." Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Monday.

Davutoglu said in an interview on NTV that Russian air strikes in Idlib and Aleppo in Syria could cause a further influx of refugees into Turkey. ("PM: Turkey would talk with Russia and Iran on political solution in Syria," Breaking News, Jerusalem Post, Oct 12, 2015)

Many Bible prophecy students, including top scholars, believe Turkey occupies the ancient area described as Togarmah in the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy. Iran, of course, occupies most of the ancient area known as Persia, with the Gog-Magog area being seen as the lands surrounding the southern Caucasus region and Black Sea area.

The fact that these key prophetic players are getting their heads together, apparently, in the biblically doomed city of Damascus, begs the question that should be directed to this triumvirate: Do your cogitations include how to eliminate Israel as part of any conquest ambition you might harbor?

Watching these developments, in concert with everything else taking shape at such a fast pace, makes the question a legitimate one--seems to me.

Just because you're too dumb to see logic and reason when it's right in front of your face, doesn't mean we're not using it. On the other hand, it's evident you're a frequent user of copy/paste here. Copying bible verses and pasting nonsense.

 

[XD40scinNC]

Yeah I figured you trolls would like that...stand up! Are you a Christian? Guess what you are not dealing with school kids.

If you don't agree with facts, you merely throw the "troll" card. Proof you don't have anything counter to the facts, so you respond by calling everyone you disagree with a troll... troll

".......doesn't mean we're not using it......?" No, not we, you are just carrying the water jug. You have yet to reach the logic and reasoning stage. Keep trying and maybe one day you will be able to make a lucid comment. Well, maybe one day, but not soon.

Yup, it's much more difficult for this guy to hide his ignorance than it is to acquire some knowledge.

 

[Nacelle]

Isn't it funny, the only time you guys use your own words is when you are TRYING to degrade someone. When it come to hate, it flows from you. When it comes to thinking you use someone else's words.

The thing is that's not really hate speech. That's the truth. You must be dumb not to understand logic and reason

 

[Nacelle]

I tried to have a civil conversation, but you guys are the ones who kept bringing it down. I figured I'd drop myself to your level for a while to let you see how it feels. If you would like to start talking civil again, answer the question about the Indians.

 

[SR9]

Pre-European Native Americans had many Gods. They were relatively sinless. It was the Europeans that brought sickness, sin, and booze to them.

 

[Nacelle]

So that's one for No? I'll wait till tomorrow to see how everyone else weighs in.

But but but but that would false idols according to your god, and a one-way ticket to hell. And it was the christian Europeans then indoctrinated them to christianity while stealing their land and imprisoning them on reservations.

Posting walls of text of others words and thoughts is the ultimate in lazy ignorance.

Horror of the Tribulation beyond our Imaginations

There has been many prophecy teachers that have tried to explain what the coming Tribulation will be like. But they fail to understand what Jesus tried to convey when he spoke with the apostles 2000 years ago what this time period will be like. I'm going to take a stab at trying to paint a picture for you of what the 7 years known as the Tribulation will be like, from scripture that describes a period so horrible, so demonically inspired that it will be the worst time in all of mankind's history that Jesus said in Matthew 24 in the Olivet Discourse:21 “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” - Pastor Mike Taylor -

Yep, the Indians had their strange "gods" just as was had in Europe. With the expansion from Europe, early Christians evangelized the Indians and brought about their conversion to Christianity. No, once they were converted and accepted Jesus as their Savior, they were no longer condemned to hell. So the answer to both you and Sancho Panza is that Indians (who have accepted Jesus as Savior) will go to Heaven along with others who have done so. For those who may have never heard of Jesus, I explained to you that anthropologists have found that they did have a religion, of sorts. I can't speak for God but I would assume their judgement will be on how they followed their own belief. Don't try to limit God's forgiveness. Damn, was that so hard to understand? And you are right about their land being stolen, etc., etc. Are you willing to give up what property you might have in order to give restitution to them? I seriously doubt it. That was all history, nothing we had a thing to do with but I guess it does make good fodder for one-sided arguments.

No one will be condemned for not ever hearing of Jesus Christ. That person will be condemned for violating his own moral standard. Those who have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and those who have have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. It's not the hearers of the law that are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

 

[Stan45]

Ringo gave a quote from Paul that helps to explain. One thing for sure God is just. No one is going to be sent to hell without having a point in time where they could have excepted or rejected the truth.
