We will not accept any material here which crosses our presuppositions... UNLESS we decide it helps to illustrate error. That will not be much of a compliment to the writer. We have tried to leave plenty of room in our presuppositions for a good forum environment, after all, this is all about the future, and none of us are omniscient. Please don't waste our time or yours trying to change us. Start your own WEB page, and toot your horn there. Thus, our presuppositions:
ONE- All prophecies to blip will yet be fulfilled. We reject the notion that some obscure Greek captain of one hundred fulfilled all the prophetic events in the Prophets. "Dispensational" is the key word, but NOT "Hyper."
TWO- We believe all of the prophecies to Moab, Ammon, and the Arab peoples (descended from Ishmael and the sons of Keturah) will also be fulfilled. We will not allow ANY blip OR Arab hatred on this page. Arab bashing by wanna-be blip will be EXPOSED on this page, not tolerated.
THREE- Reformed theology is perhaps more deadly than all of the other cults put together. Why? Answer: Because it appeals in a "Christian" context to Satanic pride. WE can bring in the Kingdom = "I shall be like the Most High." So all Reformed thinking, whether from Calvin Seminary, the Manifest Sons of God, the New Age, Promise Keepers, or TBN, will be weeded out of this section.
FOUR- The Lord's Church will not go through the Wrath of God. I Thes. 5:9.
FIVE- The everlasting Gospel is ever and always by faith alone plus nothing. This applies to the Great Tribulation and the Messianic Kingdom. What happens AFTER a person's salvation experience is subject to Dispensational considerations.
SIX- True salvation cannot be lost under any circumstances.
SEVEN- Every prophecy is to be taken literally. If it is presented in picture form (Dragon) there is a reason, and the literal truth is still there. Indeed, the Dragon may be a real physical dragon. Nothing is to be discarded! God doesn't waste his divine Breath.
EIGHT- A saint who has no zeal to win souls is highly suspect in his interpretation of prophecy.
NINE- Numbers in the Bible have great significance. Thus, nine presuppositions here. Nine is the number of fruit. There are nine letters in KING JAMES and in HOLY BIBLE and in the total of the integers, 1611. You don't like that line of reasoning? Forty laughs on you, friend.

Thoughts of Living in
Laodicea:
By Steve Van Nattan
Song
of Solomon 3:3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said,
Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul
loveth: I held him, and would not let him go.....
6 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed
with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
The bride in this narrative is looking for her beloved, and soon she sees him coming. Until then, she wandered about the city looking for him but not finding him.
The Bride of Christ today is wandering around the city of this wicked world and age. It is called Laodicea in the Revelation of Christ to John in chapter three. Many Bible believers are wandering around looking for the return of Christ. While we must never lose our hope, we may expect to be grieved and troubled. By whom? By a church which claims to follow Christ and His Gospel, but they deny the power of his Gospel.
As Hannah prayed for the mercy of God to give her power to conceive, and as Eli was so dull spiritually that he thought she was drunk, even so, the true saint today will be mocked if he has a zeal for the power of God and the deeper life. The Eli's of Laodicea will yell at him, "Repent, get right! You are turning into a Pentecostal-- they are the only ones who talk about a new filling of the Holy Ghost."
Laodiceans look the other way when pride rises up in the assembly, and they boast of their numbers, massive buildings, and riches. They look the other way when the preacher gets divorced and remarried, and they pass around booklets justifying this progressive polygamy, thus mocking the ongoing teaching of Jesus Christ himself on the matter. They feast on the wealth of one another, claiming they "tithed," while missionaries live in poverty. They turn times of worship and assembly into goon shows with true worship replaced by comedy and "comic relief." They bring in floor shows of Southern Gospel boogie boys and fetching girlie shows from "Christian colleges." They wear lapel tags which say 100% for _______, some dead beat who preaches sloppy agape sermons and hustles the church secretary on the side.
The true burden of the saints is not the Liberal Whiskeypalians-- It is being cast out of the synagogue for asking for biblical proof that Bible believers are called to rebel against Caesar, or for wanting a deeper walk with God.
The coming of the Groom for His Bride will be marked by two things:
1. The deliverance of the Bride from living amongst tares and spiritual weeds in "good godly" fundamental churches.
2. The leaving behind of millions of tricky and clever phony saints to be dispatched by the Antichrist.
It is the case with tares that we cannot pull them up, for in doing so, we would pull up wheat due to offenses. So, we shall soon be relieved by the gathering up of the Lord's Church. Meanwhile, we must not dispair, and we must keep looking for the Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Don't give up saint-- We've come too far to quit now!
