good article, but i kinda disagree. as always, respectfully 🙂 we got quite a few individuals out there that are good candidates for the Antichrist position; and no, i’m not at all talking president Obama. i’m rather talking ‘president’ Putin 🙂 but there are a few others that might merit consideration.
i also got a question for bishop Mattera, on a Gospel episode that recently caught my attention. i’m talking about the man who left for a while, and divided his fortune between three servants, two of whom invested their shares, doubled them and returned half to the owner. third one,meanwhile, just hid his thousand coins, and then told his master he knew him a man who reaps where he didn’t saw. he gets punished and banished, as a result of all this
now, here are things i don’t get. first of, the first two servants made profit of what they were given. so they did good, but not fully out of selfless devotion. the third one just returned to the owner what was his, without taking any for himself. i thought this merits praise, not condemnation.
also, how could a servant tell to his master in his face that ‘he knew him to be a hard man, who reaps where he doesn’t sow’? and on the other hand, how is it a band thing, if you’re a master? if you’re a big rich man, sure you don’t sow yourself, you rent away your land to others who sow, and then you reap a rent. doesn’t seem like a crime or a sin, to begin with
will greatly appreciate anyone replying to this 🙂 best regards to all!
Great article and excellent insight! One thing I’ve noticed is denominations are teaching more about the rapture/end times than the New Apostolic movement. Why do you think this is? I have been in ministry for 17 years in a certain denomination, and all I’ve heard preach in almost every message is “Jesus is coming soon.” This, I believe, has caused a complacency in the body of Christ, and has stopped us from advancing the Kingdom of God throughout the world! I have since changed my mind on the “rapture” message over the last several months, due to digging into the Word, but also because of a revelation of the Kingdom of God message that Jesus preached to His disciples. Which we should be preaching the same message, instead of focusing on escaping the earth. It’s our Kingdom mandate!
Bishop – it seems that the layout of this article is jumbled somehow.
yes i see what you mean – i am away but asked my assistant to correct it . Thanks!
