God Told Me...

The problem with date-setting, setting a specific or vague date of the return of Christ, is pretty obvious, despite that, many date-setters twist scripture to justify their disobedience. "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come -- Matthew 24 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only ." -- Matthew 24:36 "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." -- Matthew 25:13 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father " -- Mark 13:32 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time res

Can Date-Setting Be Justified?

This post is a re-posting of a portion of my post titled " The Days of Noe ".

In the context of this scripture, Christ responds to the disciples' questions of " the sign of thy coming and the end of the world", using the day of Noah as an example of the suddenness of when He shall return.

The Days of Noe

What is normal? Many times over the course of this life I have heard this term. Most recently I've heard this term describing a type of "day", in other words, normal days. The dictionary definition of normal stands as this: 1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. 2. serving to establish a standard Dictionary.com Who decides what's normal? Who establishes the standard or the common type? "Normal" for a person can be defined by how they were raised. Habits, choices and lifestyles are dictated by what one views or believe as "normal". What is clear to me in this day, age and time of Christianity is a declaration of "normality" is given over to the experts of our time. Be it pastors, doctors, teachers etc. Generally, they tell us what is "normal" and by their measuring stick we judge where normalcy comes in. The problem with what we may consider normal is that it may not actually be
