Well, I keep looking busy, just in case. The Lord Jesus will come like a thief in the night is a metaphor and it is used to describe the manner of the Lord’s return. Saying “ as a thief ” means that the Lord Jesus will come secretly and quietly rather than openly or with great majesty and strength, and that we will not perceive Him easily.
Heb. 3:7-8 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness. Answer: The return of Jesus Christ is likened to the coming of a thief in the night. Two passages use the wording “a thief in the night”: Matthew 24:43, “Understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into,” and 1 Thessalonians 5:2, “You know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.” In Matthew 24, Jesus speaks of His second coming at the end of the tribulation. Paul calls it “the day of the Lord” in 1 Thessalonians 5. This is a day of divine retribution featuring astronomical upheaval and the visible “sign of the Son of Man” in the heavens (Matthew 24:29–30). Jesus says it will happen “after the tribulation of those days” (verse 29, ESV), a description that distinguishes this event from the rapture, which happens before the tribulation.How is the second coming going to be like a thief in the night? The key element of Jesus’ comparison is that no one will know when He will return. Just as a thief catches a household by surprise, Jesus will catch the unbelieving world by surprise when He returns in judgment. People will be “eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage” (verse 38), just as if they have all the time in the world. But then, before they know it, Judgment Day will be upon them (verses 40–41). Paul puts it this way: “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). The believer does not fear this swift and sudden judgment; the “thief in the night” will not catch us by surprise. Christians are in a separate category: “But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief” (1 Thessalonians 5:4). It is only those in darkness who will be taken unawares, and we “are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness” (verse 5). Praise the Lord, “God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (verse 9). The unsaved should heed Jesus’ warning: “Be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him” (Matthew 24:44). How can you be ready? God has provided the way for you to escape the judgment. That way is Jesus Christ (John 14:6). By accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are granted forgiveness of sins, mercy, and salvation with the promise of everlasting life (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8–9). The “thief” is coming, but you can be a child of the day. Don’t put it off; this is “the year of the Lord’s favor” (Luke 4:19). www.gotquestions.org/thief-in-the-night.html That's why I keep busy.

Hey, gotquestion.org Knows and Understands the Trinity and Jesus is God topics better than MOST of the workers, the friends and you for sure. The 2x2s need to learn from them on the Trinity and Jesus is God and Savior.Is Jesus God? — Jesus claimed to be God.
Take for example the words of Jesus in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33, emphasis added). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth … before Abraham was born, I am!” This is a reference back to Exodus 3:14 when God revealed Himself as the “I AM.” The Jews who heard this statement responded by taking up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded (Leviticus 24:16).Is Jesus God? — His followers declared Him to be God.
John reiterates the concept of Jesus’ deity: “The Word [Jesus] was God” and “the Word became flesh” (John 1:1, 14). These verses clearly indicate that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, “Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.” Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. And this same verse declares that God purchased His church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God. Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, “But about the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’” The Father refers to Jesus as God, indicating that Jesus is indeed God.
In Revelation, an angel instructed the apostle John to only worship God (Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation did. Beyond these, there are many other passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus being God. Is Jesus God? — The reason Jesus must be God.
The most important reason that Jesus must be God is that, if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). A created being, which Jesus would be if He were not God, could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death. Is Jesus God? Yes. Jesus declared Himself to be God. His followers believed Him to be God. The provision of salvation only works if Jesus is God. Jesus is God incarnate, the eternal Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8; 22:13), and God our Savior (2 Peter 1:1). www.gotquestions.org/is-Jesus-God.html

No one's a bigger anti 2x2 than you, Nate. Anyone who says workers should be hung is most seriously an anti 2x2! When you disagree with church doctrine, you are anti 2x2. No one believes you but you. What a bunch of NON SENSE you are sprouting, ex-2x2 Witch! It seems You have NOT read or understand your Bible at all.
Have you read the gospels, the book of Acts, the epistles of the apostles to different churches, and the book of Revelation to the 7 churches. They had false teachers and brothers and sisters, the exes pretend the followers of Christ and brought in false teachings within the churches and caused a kinds of problems. Jesus and the TRUE apostles had to deal and try to uproot the false teachings, immorality from them.
Here are some examples for you.... Acts 15:1-32 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.. 24-32 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
Jesus to the 7 Churches in the book of Revelation: Stop and REPENT from teaching false doctrines, and sexual immorality from among you or I will REMOVE your names from the book of life. This is worse than hanging them I would say to have their names BLOTTED out from the Book of life or entering heaven. We see the similar are happening through the centuries and even today among 2x2s group! God and Christ have continued cleansing and purifying the ministry and the churches around the world even today. To present the perfect bride of Christ to the bride groom of our souls/Jesus. So, STOP spreading lies about things and people that you don't Know, and your nonsense, and stop casting spells on people, Witch.

Jesus is God incarnate, the eternal Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8; 22:13), and God our Savior (2 Peter 1:1). www.gotquestions.org/is-Jesus-God.html This post is another example of what nathan thinks of the 2x2s. Many of you exes atheists and some 2x2 church elders are LYING too much with your false accusation and teachings for years on here. ~~STR/SharonW. wrote in 2018:
You're absolutely right, Nathan! Jesus, God the Son is such an awesome Almighty One! It still amazes me to think I'd gone nearly 60 yrs. reading the bible very faithfully and NEVER got that for myself! Strange that, eh? I pray for those in the fellowship still, that they can come to that maturity of understanding about our Beloved Lord! I think that they are missing something totally OUT OF THIS WORLD! Simply because the majority of them have LITTLE idea about who Jesus really is! O What A Savior! I had hardly ever heard of the concept except in a table discussion back when I was about 4 or 5 yrs. old. A number of workers and our family sharing a meal together. My Gram having been raised a Baptist, knew what the Trinity concept was. It was brought into discussion and the older workers exclaimed that the doctrine was a heresy! I never heard of the concept again until coming on TMB. Nathan wrote an extensive explanation with scripture backing of what the Trinity means and is...it was almost beyond my comprehension! I became troubled that this was beyond my comprehension so much so, that I prayed to God that "IF HE thought it necessary for me to understand the Trinity, then would HE PLEASE reveal it to me." I left it there and after some time, it begin to come to me at another time of prayer like a light from heaven! The joy of that understanding of my Lord is beyond another imagination, comprehension.... YES! God revealed it to me! Jesus is the most wonderful awesome King of Kings and Lord of Lords and HE died for me! Hallelujah! And I was professing when this happened! I believed in the Trinity while I was still professing! After I'd studied Jesus Christ for about 3 years and had some long arguments with Nathan and Stanne here on TMB with Scott sometimes putting a bit of information in the kettle, I had to realize that all that Nathan and Stanne were saying about the Trinity was definitely in the bible even thought the word "Trinity" wasn't! As time passed and more realization of what the Trinity was all about, and I'll say we that do believe are always gaining more insight into it as we go on and maturity of using the word of God (the bible) feeding on the "meat of the word" that it is certainly like most of mankind throughout the ages that as each generation lives and dies the more understanding of the heavenly God has come into the minds of that generation. So I feel that ignorance and misunderstanding is what's keeping most in the 2x2 from accepting or knowing the Trinity= Triune God concept!

This is the latest & how it works At present . Please if you have any info about anything get ahold of ICE .
A specialized team of officers that investigates online child exploitation in Alberta says already this year they have charged two dozen people as they investigate a record number of case files. Read more: ICE reports spike in online child exploitation cases in Alberta amid COVID-19 pandemic The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams' Internet Child Exploitation unit (ICE) says the suspects were arrested between Jan. 1 and March 31, 2021, and each of the 24 people -- including five men from Calgary and six from Edmonton -- is charged with at least one child pornography offence:from CalgaryALERT did not release details of the investigations that led to the charges. ALERT CEO Supt. Dwayne Lakusta said ICE saw a 40 per cent increase in the number of case referrals the team received, jumping to 2,100 from 1,555 the year before. “This is a concerning consequence of our digital dependency during the pandemic,” Lakusta said. “ALERT has responded by directing more tools and resources to our ICE units and we are prepared to travel to every corner of the province in order to stop child sex predators. This was coming down during the final days of mom’s life . Please if you know someone reach out . Thank you
24 people charged , 60 offensives . One right by convention grounds that was in Barrhead , still is I believe Now moving to other provinces

The early to mid 1860s in the States saw a massive movement to wipe out CSA supporters. Hundreds of thousands were killed. *** It was back then, but it didn't continue on, look what happened to the RCC altar boys who had been sexually abused by the priests since 1950s or earlier in the states and hardly anyone talked about it openly until the yr 2000. You fell for that one.

Innocuous
not harmful or offensive. "it was an innocuous question" ABSOLUTELY NOT THE FINAL ASSULT It was a Friday and who wants to have the anchor of a younger sister around . That would be my bro . So again he arranges a ride home for me with his friend . It’s at K-Mart on 37th street and Bow Trail SW. The car is brown with a white roof . This man was 19 , I was under the age of consent . A minor . He had up graded from his Austin mini . Around 9 pm I wanted to go home . I had provincial track and field on the Saturday . I trusted him . I don’t think I trusted anyone after this . He had a agenda , I didn’t . I was focusing on first place in the 100 meter dash . I was focusing on my 200 meter race and the anchor on the 400 relay . Which I won in the 100 and 200 match . As the last anchor on the 400 meter we won . I was blinded sided . DM are his initial’s . He acted without a reason . I was not doing this again . He furiously attached me viciously . Slobbering all over my face . The battle was on . I was not taking anymore sexual abuse . This was not going down . I was just so done with this bullsh- . It was the most physical fight ever . It was fierce . He was like a octopus 🐙 . But I managed to free myself and get out of his car . I am miles from home without a penny . I walked miles , he followed me saying sorry , trying to get me back into the car . Thankfully the bus came and the transit operator knew my dad and made sure I had enough transfers for buses to get home . Which I did ……………… He plead guilty ………. , yada yada . I was free physically but emotionally another layer of abuse set in . So ……………………. I never trusted a man again . There was a fallout Will finish in Chinesewhispers

So, When are you leaving the pagans 2x2, Chuck... The soon are the better for you, then you can become an ex-2x2 to take down the 2x2s pagans, join the exes crusaders.
A higher up ex-2x2 wants me to join their Jihad Crusaders anti-2x2s back in 1993 and I told that person Hell, no.

The mere fact I made a post about the conern for abused people within the 2x2s with no actual thought for the 2x2ism image and you can only reply with worry about the 2x2ism image and it being torn down is somewhat concerning Nathan. Your a fool. And good ol wally liked it🤦♂️
