I love your posts on this blog, Sister C, and have always looked for them! <br />I too had some difficulty following Art Katz back in the day when our church's "completed Jewish" elder brought him in to speak. Perhaps the reasoning you gave was the reason why I did not dive into his teachings. I can remember my "older woman" mentor being quite troubled by him. <br /><br />In addition, I can only say that Kathy (Waterer) is a wonderfully encouraging Bible teacher, ministering life to many women. <br /><br />Kathy, when we visit your church and I see you, I shall give the code word "Waterer" and then introduce myself. Or perhaps I should not, and then more and more "Dianes" will be blessed by a big hug from you !<br /><br />Love you both, DianeDianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-21845892381518230162011-10-24T23:00:48.040-04:002011-10-24T23:00:48.040-04:00Sister Sue!

This is all good to be out in the open...Continued-<br /><br />This is all good to be out in the open, and for healthy discussion. Sister, I know you had said that this was the first time posting on a blog, and perhaps with your web site, you have not had discussions, or others respectfully disagreeing with you? <br /> You had referenced that you are studying Jewish Believer named Art Katz, his writings etc. You at one point stated he was an “intellect”, and you had difficulty following what he had said. Intellectuals can amass so much “knowledge” that they can become blinded to Him…and become distant without even realizing it. They know all about God, yet they don’t know God. The only Book that should matter, and is going to matter in the very short future, is His Word, the Bible.<br /><br />Perhaps this difficulty that you are having Sister with understanding this person, is the Holy Spirit preventing you from the path of this person. This gentlemen made a statement in a speech at a convention years ago, that the Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves as they killed Jesus. This and other derogatory comments against Jewish People that he has made, give people permission to be anti-Semitic He also believes the Church should be prepared to receive the fleeing Jewish People during the Trib. <br /> I am so glad that you listened and viewed the Zola Levitt program. As you could see, the difference in the “Christian Palestinians” between Hanan Ashrawi in the first two videos, who falsely believes in the Palestinian myth, and the third video “The Palestinian Zionist “ with Dr. Naim Khoury who believes in the Gods Covenant with His People, and Israel’s right to Gods land. What an awesome Witness and Brother is Naim! WOW he puts us all to shame! As one of the commentators says, for “Christian Palestinians” it is more of a “cultural kind of Christianity”. <br /><br />There are many different Jewish Believers out there, and what a stark difference between Art Katz method of Witnessing to the Jewish People with condemnation, and Zola Levitts Witnessing to the same only with the Love of Christ. That I feel, is why perhaps Zolas teaching was easier for you to understand, than Arts.<br /><br />We are in the Last Days, and time is short, and the enemy knows this. There are many false teachings out there, by “Christians” and “Jewish Believers” a like. A lot of “tickle your ear” stuff that Peter warned us of. Another confirmation of the times we are in. We had better know His Word well for ourselves, and welcome the Holy Spirit to Bless us with discernment and guidance when we study His Word. It wont be long before our awesome Groom comes for us! Let us keep our lamps full in anticipation for the greatest JOY we will ever know!<br /><br /> God Bless!Mrs. Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-88942079626296627762011-10-24T22:55:34.700-04:002011-10-24T22:55:34.700-04:00Sister Waterer/Kathleen,
Thank you for coming for...Sister Waterer/Kathleen,<br /> Thank you for coming forward and honestly stating your name. It is healthy to review what has occurred, and then move on. Perhaps you can now see how the perception of deception occurred. At the same time, it is understandable at your confusion as to why folks use a screen name, rather than their real name. It is to yours and Scotts discretion for example, to use your true names as you both have your own web sites. However, as there are sooo many disturbed people out there now a days, and privacy is at a premium, folks are not comfortable using their real names for many reasons. We can speak to this, as we ourselves have been stalked from web site to web site, and this is by a” Christian” and is disturbing to say the least. <br /><br />On July 23 in a thread, you had made the following comments under your real name:<br /> Speaking of Israel-“They are a sinful nation too. Some of their enemies are enemies because of torture or hoarding water or parading teenagers with uzis past revered older Arabs with haughtiness and strong sense of entitlement that they deserve Jerusalem. “<br />”There are unholy practices of both groups . Israel has been in a fight since her rebirth and it was (I think and believe Scriptures teach), a holy gift to become Israel overnight. The dry bones coming together. God is using her to make the Arabs jealous the way HE is using Christians to make Jews jealous”<br /> <br />“I believe Jerusalem belongs to Israel too. In entirety. By grace”<br /><br />“We have visited with Jewish friends in Israel and our friends in Jordan. <br />The stories on the ground are different in some ways from what we are hearing in far right American discussions. This is Not the place “<br />Scott stated: “We shouldn't fear having these kinds of discussions - its both HEALTHY and NECESSARY. If we are appropriate and non-insulting etc. as this discussion has been”<br /><br /> The initial comments were inflammatory, as they are typical of what Hamas and enemies of Israel, says of Israel. They are anti-Israel comments that are commonly stated by the so called “Palestinians” They are not true, unfounded, and are a false witness against Israel. When challenged and engaged in discussion, the statements were not backed up with facts, or Scripture. You then left and then returned under the name “Waterer” posting the following statements, that appeared to reveal the same sediments as previously posted under your real name and sparked another discussion: ( that is your uppercase usage)<br /><br />10/11- “ BUT I think we should not casually call our President names. Nor do I think we should mock ( palys) when we have Christian Bros and sisters among those people too. If we mean Hamas etc then I think their names should be used. I know the arguments for Israel vs Palestine and I side with Israel but ONLY because of God's call and the work He is still going to do through the Jewish people. “<br /><br /> This statement suggests that you don’t think Israel is right in anything they do, but only support Israel because of her Jewish People. As you know, these statements then sparked a political discussion. You had made the following comments:<br />Waterer 10/11- “My Mom is a staunch Dem”<br />“I wanted my Mom to be able to come to this site and others like her”<br /> <br />Comments such as these, gave the impression, as Paula pointed out, that you were attempting to sanitize Scotts blog. Forgive me, but everything is not in the context of politics regarding many things, and perhaps with your family history, it kind of unknowingly creeps in.Mrs. Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-69697521070609260762011-10-24T20:32:10.823-04:002011-10-24T20:32:10.823-04:00Waterer, thank you!

Every time it is alluded to, it stirs up the dust again that gets into spiritual eyes.<br /><br />From my own experience elsewhere-<br />As a mother, I was used to giving instructions on behaviour to my children. I did something similar to you and things flared up. The Lord showed me why; I am a mother, but not to anyone here, so it comes across as being officious to adults. A gentle expression of concern may have been acceptable? Never a lecture on acceptable behaviour!<br /><br />Mrs C will no doubt return when her circumstances allow –and – maybe when the dust has settled and been blown away. The same with the others; just allow the scab to heal and don’t ‘pick’ at it. :)<br /><br />Peace.<br /><br />Your sister in Jesus<br />SueExpected Imminentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138222881636511924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-33844806339307937332011-10-23T22:58:39.436-04:002011-10-23T22:58:39.436-04:00Sorry Waterer , I meant to type your blog name cor...Sorry Waterer , I meant to type your blog name correctly above , you are definitely one who "waters" and NOT a wanderer. <br /><br />Thanks, Sue and Scott for your timely comments .<br /><br />I, too, miss Mrs C, and where is Paula ?

I found it refreshingly uncomplicated and their answers to Mrs. A. were so sharp and given with intelligence and polite discourse. A really great <br />and very helpful tutorial.<br />ALso the framed verse Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, I saw it and thought, "Boy! DId I ever step in it without knowing what on earth people were going to think on our discussion months ago now.<br />I loved when zOLA ended the interviews with the prophecies of the coming peace that JESUS will bring to that whole region when He reigns from Jerusalem.He is our peace our hope and our salvation.<br /><br />Per out former disagreement over pc terms, I have backed away ( as I never intended to dictate or boss anyone)from that discussion of which terms we call respectful or truthfully apt. <br />By way of explanation of what i meant though, these interviews picture it perfectly. <br />Neither of the Arab Christian experts nor Zola ever said<br />Oh that is a typical paly thing she is saying or anything that could be seen as disrespectful. They were serious and direct and honest, gave her high marks for candor but not accuracy. I admire this kind of discourse very very much and want to emulate it.<br />That was at the heart of my bringing the popular terms of the day to the table.<br />I have backed way far away from that. <br />I wish Mrs. C would come back and Paula too. <br />God Bless You and thanks again.Waterernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-71152763670738679732011-10-23T18:25:33.118-04:002011-10-23T18:25:33.118-04:00Hartdawg

In particular that the remnant in the U.K. are involved! But it is a shame they teach we can walk away from our Salvation – there is no way the Greek says that and the grammar, context, idiom and plain reading of e.g. Hebrews 6 and 10, the subject matter does NOT refer to Justification let alone the loss of it; but as these verses deal with the very serious issue of leading to the sin unto death; I can let it ride and leave that fault with Jesus to deal with. We all see through a glass darkly.<br /><br />I am so thankful to see you as a brother dealing with the ‘little foxes’ damaging the fruit on God’s Vine – give them an inch, and they will take a mile! I think that’s what they call ‘damage limitation’!<br /><br />God bless you in your daily slog.

To date, this has only partially been fulfilled and will see its completion during the 1000 year Messianic Rule. The Church has nothing of this as she is Christ’s Body and Bride and not an earthly nation.<br />2) <br />The Seed proceeds from the loins of Abraham, to ISAAC/Israel on down through King DAVID to his Son Jesus of Nazareth through the line of His mother Mary. Jesus is the rightful King over all Israel and will one day rule the whole earth from Jerusalem (with His glorified Bride and the resurrected Tribulation Saints). King David will also rule in his resurrection body the remnant of Israel who survive the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and repopulate the decimated nation of Israel. The Church is IN Christ.<br />(Believing Gentile survivors repopulate the Gentile nations)<br /><br />3) The Promises to Israel which includes Salvation is SHARED by the Church with Israel. A.Frucht says the Church are PARTAKERS of the Promises with Israel and not OVERTAKERS. This is the only promise the Church shares with Israel.<br />The Israel of God – Galatians 6:16<br /><br />First of all this does not concern a comparison between Israel and the Church! It is between UN-believing Jews and believing Jews in Yeshua as their promised SEED the Messiah.<br /><br />As many as recalls the wording of vs 12, those who live according to the example of Messiah Yeshua and the NEW creation in vs.14,15, are in stark contrast with those trying to make a good impression through physical circumcision and keeping the law vs.12,13. <br />The Israel of God refers to the remnant of believing Jews (Romans 11:1,2,7). They are Abraham’s SPIRITUAL descendants ch 3:6-9 because they believe in God and rely upon His Grace exactly as their father Abraham did. His faith in God’s Word was accounted to him as righteousness. The same as his physical descendants and the Gentiles who also believe in God through the New Covenant in His own blood via the Cross.<br /><br />Aided from the commentary in the 2nd Edition NKJV Study Bible by Thomas Nelson. www.ThomasNelson.com<br /><br />It needs to be remembered that the Reformed people are using an allegorical interpretation rather than the literal, Grammatical/historical hermeneutic.<br />They claim only ONE Covenant of Grace and only ONE chosen people of God. They do not recognise the distinction placed between Israel, the ‘wife’ of Jehovah and the Church/Body who is the ‘bride’ of the Son. I cannot stress enough the huge, huge difference this makes in understanding the views of Reformed/Covenant Theology. DON’T underestimate its importance.<br /><br />I do hope this is a help, not a hindrance! <br />God bless you Hart<br />Maranatha!<br />Sue<br />xExpected Imminentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138222881636511924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-77541811544049559122011-10-23T00:39:32.418-04:002011-10-23T00:39:32.418-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-29622601791147235732011-10-22T21:29:10.891-04:002011-10-22T21:29:10.891-04:00Just in case y'all dint notice, the World did ...Just in case y'all dint notice, the World did end yesterday, 10.21.2011, <a href="http://www.lamblion.us/2011/10/deadline-october-21-harold-campings.html" rel="nofollow"><b>exactly as predicted by Harold Camping</b></a>, and exactly 5 months after Jesus opened the Books on 05.21.2011 to examine our deeds... [Hmmmmm, why would Jesus, who's omniscient, need to take even a nanosecond, let alone 5 months to examine anything?!? Hmmmmm... a Biblical "mystery", no doubt...]<br /><br />And all us 'apostates', who dint leave the 'false churches' were left behind to suffer in this alternate, same-old, same-old appearing, never ending reality! OhBummer!!<br /><br />And on top of it all, the AC has also created a clone image of Harold Camping to remain here wif us to deceive us into thinking that nuffin' happened...<br />;-DDrNofognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-54638204698007902402011-10-22T21:16:57.755-04:002011-10-22T21:16:57.755-04:00Stephen you are probably correct on what makes the...Stephen you are probably correct on what makes the stock market go up and down. I am pretty clueless on that one. I have to laugh sometime when the media ascribes some dive or climb on some obscure news event. I suppose they could be correct but I am ususally pretty skeptical about anything I read in the media these days. So tell me how can the mood of investors be good in light of all this bad economic news? I'm not buying this climb in the stock market. It seems contrived if that is possible?WVBORN56noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-73018051347326876512011-10-22T21:00:45.166-04:002011-10-22T21:00:45.166-04:00Anon and WVBORN56 :and Francis Chan had a new book...Anon and WVBORN56 :and Francis Chan had a new book out this summer :"Erasing Hell: What God said about eternity, and the things we made up." which is a sort of rebuttal against Rob Bell's book. <br /><br />Wanderer(KR): Thank you for the scripture and comments which you shared. I always thought of the Book of Hebrews as being written for the Jews, but as we are grafted into the family, it is for us adopted children, too. It is so beautifully written, isn't it? <br /><br />And I agree with WV, as I think the last thing on people's minds at the time of the Rapture will be the stock market . My husband reminded me today that in the Middle Eastern countries, not many will be taken, so they will seem stronger . The US will be so paralyzed that the events portrayed in the movie "Contagion" almost sound like a picnic. DianeDianenoreply@blogger.com
