To Solon, Tadpole and Oh, Dear!

Of course, you are entitled to your beliefs and opinions appearing on this page. However, from experience, each of your attitudes reflect (to me, anyway) that it's what YOU think is true and not necessarily what is true. Again, you are entitled to believe whichever way you want.

But for me, I believe the Bible is the Word of God. Has it been tampered with? Of course. But if one as honestly as he/she can, believes and accepts what the Bible says, and follows the principles laid out with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, "errors" or tamperings won't matter.

It seems to me (my opinion) that you don't take seriously what the Bible says. It seems you "toy" with it to ease the nudgings of the Holy Spirit. It's like sticking your big toe in the water to test how comfortable the temperature is to before emerging your whole body.

Spiritual matters ought not to be treated frivolously, for entertainment, or taken lightly. The Bible speaks, nay, WARNS of dreadful and frightful times coming and our God and Creator Who loves all of His creation wants us to prepare so that He can deliver us. We also have an enemy who wishes to destroy us. You can hope, wish, believe all you want that "it's God's will that everyone be saved" but all your hopes, wishes and beliefs do NOT change what the Word says. There are, believe it or not, certain conditions that have to be met to qualify for salvation.

It's not my purpose to "preach" to you...but rather (hopefully) point you into the right direction, to point out and PROVE to you the error of your thinking and/or beliefs. For your own sakes, I sincerely hope that you will reconsider and change your attitudes towards the Bible and how God would have us live our lives.

But back to the topic at hand. There WILL be an Anti-Christ (Oh Dear, there is a difference between the Anti-christ and an anti-christ spirit), whether you don't want to believe it or not.

Today is the day to get serious as to whether you will follow the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, or whether you will follow the "god of this world". If we follow OUR hearts instead of seeking God's, we are most certainly following the god of this world. There is a natural man, a spiritual man and a carnal man. It would behoove each of us to find a study of this subject to ascertain where we stand. God didn't protect His Word through the centuries to have us believe we could just pick and choose whatever we wanted from it. He is our Creator. Give Him the honor of listening to what He has to say to you. Not, "oh, this is neat! I think I'll believe this, but I don't know if I want to believe this, so I won't." His Word is not like some servateria to pick and choose.
