Apparently you didn't go to the site for in it there are references to the Bible. This religious man has a following not unlike a pope, a rabbi or a priest. I don't know if he has created his own doctrine but his creed is love.

God would not crucify anyone to peruse other ideas. God simply wants you to believe in His doctrine in the end. How would history keep track of itself if it was a condemnation to record hisorical facts? It implies a historian, for example is a heretic for simply for studying/reading/observing a divergent point of view. Clearly, if anything the word of God does not want us to be blind. We have to have respect for someone else's point of view--even if we believe them to be incorrect in that point of view. God did not endow any of us on this planet the authority to denounce and condemn others in His name. God gave us the ability to reason and to use our resources to take decisions.

If you pronounce that you and you only are correct then you are. In the end God has the last word. Unfortunately, all to often a believer is so wrapped up in their personal dogmatic preachings they create within their head a sense of being above the rest of mankind. How foolish! That belief is no different than oppressing others with an iron fist. If you truly believe then you must allow others to believe, whatever it is. Water seeks its own level. God is water.

" I would like to think that we as believer's need to stay away and not let influence those comments made by false prophets, (Matt 24, 23:2"

Excellent advice puddinhead. I hope you follow this same advice?
Some of this thread could also ask: How do we know that puddinhead is not a false prophet? We don't know your testimony, your religous background, your real name, in fact, we know almost nothing about you except that you would present yourself as a teacher of prophecy and injects many of your own interpretations in the Scriptures.
We all inject our own ideas in these discussions. Did we get these ideas by revelation from God or are the products of our own imagination or the product of reading other mens imaginations on the subject. Because of this, I think it is very important for everyone to be aware of the nature of these discussions and also be aware that if a person fears to identify himself or herself that we should evaluate their words accordingly.

I think it is important for us to know who is preaching to us. Jesus and the Apostles and Disciples did not come hidden behind pseudonyms but they preched in the full sunlight.

I think your thread is an excellent idea and I hope we can examine all of the Scriptures related to Daniel and the End Times. This could be beneficial to all of us.

Emile
