In Spirit and In Truth

I wanted to post the response to a comment that was left under a previous post titled "Why I Do Not Call Myself Christian". Because I am posting via mobile. I cannot provide a direct link, but you will find the link in question on the right side bar under "Frequently Asked Questions" to follow the thread. -----------Start of Comment------------- Although publishing this comment, and the comment I'm about to type, may start a "war of words", I'm using this opportunity to possibly bring furthur clarity to truth as it taught by scripture and Spirit. Mikes, you say "what's important really is how we live and how we nourish our relationship". In other words our relationship should take precedence over labeling ourselves "Christian" which is what you call a "brand".

Ten years ago the subject of prophecy was mum in mainstream churches. That much was obvious to me in my pursuit in understanding the last years of the age of man. A simple mention of the return of Christ brought an awkward angle of conversation between an institutionalized Christian and myself. Many admitted they didn't study the prophecy of the end of the age of man, nor did their pastors teach it. However, in this year of 2009, I am bombarded with commercialized messages of prophecy. With the obvious the fulfillment of the Word of God in increments, it is pathetic to witness mainstream Christianity playing "catch up" in an attempt to legitimatize their failed doctrines. In commercialized prophecy, Obama is the anti-Christ. The failed economy is a sure sign of Christ's imminent return, some has gone as far setting specific dates of His return based upon these "signs". FiveDoves is such a site. They have gone as far as setting specific dates in September o
