no argument from me here. that includes me in that list


but am really saying by a falling a way isnt necessarily about the christian lifestyle (which does matter) but more about the fundamental believe ( Jesus is God, lived the perfect live that non of us could do, died not for his sins, but the sin of those who would believe, and that his perfect work covers your unrighteous in front of God and that your saved by Grace and faith apart from any good works etc...... ohh and that he resurrected) If any of those are denied by the church the whole thing crumbles.
1 john says that anyone who denies that Jesus Christ has not come in the flesh is a deceiver and an Antichrist.
Because we are dealing with spiritual things, certain things that are of the unseen....all things that are said to come may have already... u may be actually living in that time.
yea u right some things we cannot see, since alot of the war is in the spiritual realm. However, again the warnings the bible gives us are clearly physical and happen here on planet earth.
This is why, a faithful man knows, he doesn't know that time of the End... only God knows.... A man only knows what a man can know.
Again, yes no man knows the hour, however the bible clearly says
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
if you are watching it wont catch u by surprise
So a faithful man lives as if today could be the day that God comes
i believe the bible teaches to live awaiting and hoping for the return of Jesus but it clearly gives us signs and warning of when its really close, like i said before in 2 Thessalonians it says He (Jesus) will not appear except the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed (the Antichrist) and it also teaches that once he is revealed , there is the mark of the beast, persecution and the reign of the Antichrist will be exactly 3 1/2 years long.
