"...it is possible to eradicate corruption, no matter how serious it is, if we have the minds and will to do it." by Tony Kwok pg 5 of Integrity Watch Nov. thru Dec. 2007 edition

• Theological Perspectives
  • COMMENTARY ON THE REVELATION
  • WHEN DOES CHRIST RETURN?

In reading the material of the late first century and second-century writers, it becomes apparent that they had a mixture of ideas about prophetic fulfilment. They saw that the physical temple had been destroyed but they did not consider the full spiritual ramifications of this event. Just like the Jews during the time of Christ, some were looking for a physical Kingdom and, therefore, a physical presence of Christ. Since in their view this had not happened in conjunction with the temple’s destruction, they were anticipating something more to happen right around the corner. It is clear they felt the destruction of the Jewish temple had set in motion the whole chain of events, we understand as the return of Christ, resurrection, judgment and Kingdom. It appears, also, they were looking for a physical manifestation of these events.

Even though the believer is not under the tithing law, that so many churches try to teach, if you believe that a ministry is doing something good, and God has giving you the means to provide, please help get the Good News out to others.

A comment by Lou Rugg on pal Talk...be forewarned

• "All men are born neutral, neither a believer or a nonbeliever. Man becomes lost when he hears the Gospel and rejects it. If a man never hears the Gospel, he is not responsible and will be saved by the knowledge he has received. Let me repeat, If a man never hears the Gospel he is not responsible for his sin and will be saved." Louis Ruggerio

1. Bringing Corruption to an End in the Philippines - a Social Activist site towards taking care of matter the right way.
2. Anti- Towards the Anti-Preterist - Showing those who are Anti towards Preterism that we also are Anti towards them as well for it only brings about division instead of us becoming like the Bereans in Acts:

Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

Acts 17:10-11 (NKJV)

Our real battle is out there in the world where we are becoming Salt and light. For if we fight between one another how will we ever both work together on showing the world just how corrupt the dispensational doctrine is making our world today.
