I think you're right Ralph. The trial that made me make this thread didn't break me, but it was a step towards just that.

The other day I experienced a trial severe enough that it revived that free willing beast within. So much so that I lost all hope for a little while. I couldn't see a way to turn back to the Lord. Jesus, as faithful as He is showed me He still has all power and authority and nothing could seperate me from His love.

The question that came up afterward was, how do I remain in His rest? Then I remembered, it's not of him wills or runs, but of God Who shows mercy. I had a feeling I'd have to deal with vanity in the way I did eventually.

I pray you get better Matty.

Dennis

Thank you René, Pam and Wendy. Thank you very much.

Thanks everybody, it means a lot. It seems, even when we know we are appointed to tribulation, it is still very challenging.

I'm right there with you, bro. I still face moments of great weakness when enduring tribulation. But isn't that the purpose of these fiery trials? To reveal our weaknesses so we can recognize what is still within us, and so that Christ burns them out of us?

You did say "if it helps." and it has helped.  Thank you for your input and was not my intention to be argumentative. I am still learning and am leaning more to the antichrist spirit. Thank you again for your help Dennis, much appreciated.

Ray put out a challenge and said that he'd give anyone a $100 if that person found "the antichrist " in the Bible
Don't mean to sound arrogant but I did find that in the Bible. The Concordant Literal Translation of the New Testament has it like that "the antichrist."
Weymouth has it like that as well.
With all due respect sir, it does not say "the antichrist spirit " but just "the antichrist. "

I said "if it helps you to understand" didn't I?

Thanks Dennis and Pamela. I'm slowly seeing what you're saying especially from 1 John 4: 1 -3

God bless.

Hello Ken,
The scripture says “ AS YE HAVE HEARD” not yelling, just caps for emphasis 😁

Well , when, where and how have ye heard that the antichrist ( single) is coming ?

In the convoluted teachings of Christendom, that’s where. This literal made up story
of one big bad boogie man coming to proclaim that he is the Almighty God of the
universe. It’s childish nonsense and it’s blasphemous.

In the Sermon on the Mount you will see this phrase” ye have heard it said of old time” that old time is the Old Testament and then Christ goes on to say” but I say unto you” , that’s the New Testament.

Dennis gave you the scripture, many antichrists. There is a Short on BT website
that explains that this one antichrist theology is unscriptural.

1John 4:1-3… Beloved , do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether
they are from God , for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the spirit of God : every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ
has come in the flesh from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and NOW
is in the world already.

Read 2 Thes. 2:3-7 and Jude

And, as Ray has drilled into us…” pay attention to all the words”

Hope this helps
May God Bless You

In Christ, Pamela
