But fear or not, scripture indicates the FEARFUL along with several other categories of individuals will not enter the kingdom. <br /><br />Perfect love is the only antidote mentioned in 1John. <br /><br />I'm not sure how getting all worked up here about what other do or don't do reflects that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-4888364551206649342012-10-25T09:26:16.472-07:002012-10-25T09:26:16.472-07:00The legalistic doomsday religions want us all in s...The legalistic doomsday religions want us all in slavery to keep God's Law because of fear.<br /><br />The more kind and loving religions want to obey and honor God because they love and admire Him and want to become more like Him.<br /><br />In the long term, who do you think will want to stick with a religion, particularly when the fear factors turn out to be little more than fanatical hyperbole?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-6403721466272243262012-10-25T05:40:48.288-07:002012-10-25T05:40:48.288-07:00What does Knowlton know anyway. His article only ...What does Knowlton know anyway. His article only shoves more of the xcogs "Fear Religion" down our throats.<br /><br />Knowlton writes: "...The interesting thing is, that piece of history is going to be repeated in many of our lifetimes by troubles on the horizon, described by the Bible as the Great Tribulation and the great Day of the Lord..."<br /><br />When will Knowlton know enough to finally get it right? Mankind has been living under great tribulation since the day Satan entered the Garden of Eden and infected/infested the minds of Adam and Eve. What's new to know?<br /><br />Also, Knowlton's knowledge about Great Tribulation timing still has not been accurately predicted by his organization-of-man or any other org/association out there, but he sure knows how to push their brand of Fear Religion.<br /><br />What about that Day of the LORD? When will Knowlton finally come to know that the Day of the LORD will NOT occur until Satan comes out of that bottomless pit.<br /><br />Are we to live in fear for over a 1,000 years? Are we to endure Fear Religion for over a 1,000 years?<br /><br />Didn't Jesus Christ tell the Knowlton's something like:<br /><br />"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself..."? Matthew 6:34<br /><br />Why did He say that? It was because:<br /><br />"...Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matthew 6:34<br /><br />So, why all of the talk and writing about Great Tribulation and Day of the LORD? And Fear Religion? And spankings?<br /><br />It appears we all experience sufficient evil daily! Well, don't we?<br /><br />And knowlton, we are all one heartbeat away from death and some of us may not even be here tomorrow.......let alone be here for "your Great Tribulation" and/or "your Day of the LORD," which people have been striving to figure out probably from long before you were born.........<br /><br />But I know you are doing the best you can do with what you have, and just what do you have? Well, what the title says:<br /><br />Living in Fear With the Living Church of God. Why would you even want any of us to want to join you in that? Try to get it right first! The Day of the LORD is not until Satan exits the bottomless pit and is allowed to deceive the entire world again via the 7th head Gog with his fear, his fear religions, death, wars.<br /><br />Where do you think Christ will be at that point in time when Satan comes out of that pit? He won't be in Jerusalem, but let's not get into any of those details here. You have enough on your plate dealing with Great Tribulation and Day of the LORD...your version of it, that is, and that is like some form of "Junk Food."<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
