what I said is true nothing gives.. that I am exalting myself Go do some factual research on Kate Steinle. It’s sad how Ms. Steinle life was taken by a criminal, with her father at Peir 14. & I have personally have sowen seed up that way, several times, street preaching & giving out Gospel tracts, with other fellow brethren who live up that way. Who regularly do Street evangelism up that way, motivated by Love & Compassion Christ had on them, yet while they were rebels & tyrants against Christ, at one time in their own lives & my own, as Christ reached down into my own pit & dragged me out of the mire & muck, I was in apart from being a enemy of Christ amen!

let me tell you the story of a man who wanted to kill Christians. He wanted to kill all the christian he could. Would you condemn that man that persecuting in killing Christians?

That man is named Saul. Christ came for everyone and the thief being crucified next to him. I do prison ministries and I preach to the lost not some megachurch

No! But it might break the economy!!

Faith strengthened by human effort is usually more of the same human conviction they had before.

Even the Apostles didn't receive quote, "strength" when they asked for it.

Is it not an insult to ask GOD for a "stronger" faith?
Does it mean you cast doubt on HIS providence for your life and works?

Luke 17:5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

1Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet HAVE YE NOT RETURNED unto me, saith the LORD.

10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet HAVE YE NOT RETURNED unto me, saith the LORD.

11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet HAVE YE NOT RETURNED unto me, saith the LORD.

12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel."

GOD has 'allowed' coronavirus to make a powerful statement to the world ......
= Yet HAVE YE NOT RETURNED unto me saith the LORD!!

The LORD has been here many times before in history and nations and churches have not turned to HIM.
Sinful choices and decisions are more in line with the evil hearted atheists, Liberals and false witnesses, today.

He was taught the prefect law at the feet of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) and in his words performed it blamelessly (Phl 3:6). But, in so doing, he rejected the righteousness and law of God..... love thy neighbor which fulfills all the law(Gal. 5:14).

The Galatians were being bewitched by certain men of James which were teaching what the RC peddles to this day which Paul summed up the letter in asking.....

Gal.3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

After reading that compare it to Paul's exegesis in Rom 4.

Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

Paul addressed the Galatians regarding his own transgression of the law in which he once built in attempt to establish his own righteousness which he counted as dung per Phil 3:8.

Gal. 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

Transgressor of what? The same law spoken of in Rom 4:15 which works wrath.

Gal. 2:19 For I through the law[of the Spirit of Faith in Christ Jesus AKA law of Faith Rom 3:27] am dead to the law[of sin and death], that I might live unto God.

Paul was the pattern(1 Tim. 1:16) which others from the same error of tradition were to follow.

Rom. 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ...that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Before his calling, Paul did the same thing we see to this day in the RCC...faith + works.

Though he loved God (faith) He sought to establish his own righteousness by vigorously performing all the deeds of the Sinai covenant.

Dr. Rugh did a good job of looking at at ecumenicalism in this paper:

Dr. Rugh wrote:
....
There is, however, great danger when the church compromises essential doctrines to unite on social, moral, and political issues. Those involved in ecumenism often quote Jesus' prayer in John 17:21, where He prayed, "that they (Christians) may all be one" to show that believers should be unified. Certainly, believers should earnestly desire the unity Jesus referred to. However, in that same prayer, Jesus prayed, "Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth" (John 17:17). True unity must be based on the truth of Scripture or else it is a false unity. The Bible nowhere calls for unity at the expense of truth....

A lovely Sanctuary city, home town of Nancy, Pelosi. A city that will crucify you by the law & media if you were to kill a Sea Lion.
Don’t forget about, The seven-time felon, five-time deported illegal alien acquitted for 32-year-old murder of Kate Steinle!
May the Lord use His people in the Bay Area to live out & proclaim the only Sanctuary to be found is in & through Christ Alone amen!

One time Jesus disciples wanted to call down fire and burn a city. I think you should read the reply Jesus spoke of.

I expect that childish behavior from ungodly men not from true followers of Jesus.

Who loved Jesus more? The women who kissed his feet or the self righteous man who just sat and criticized her?

I do not think myself as superior. I was a slave of sin until Jesus saved me. Since then I want to share Jesus and save the lost.

He is the antichrist and the bible warned us not to listen to people saying here is Christ. Many will be lead astray and will think he is the savior.

The whole Jewish nation will received this man as the messiah, but he will be their doom. They did not accept Jesus when he first came, but they will accept the antichrist.

Even the elect will be fooled into believing him. His has many false ministers that will perform false miracles and signs and people will follow them.

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Paul preached to Felix and to the governors in shackles every chance he had. These so called pastors pray with him as he is a brother and are ashamed of Jesus to even preach or rebuke him.
