Thought for Today: Thursday October 16
There are three reasons that many people do not believe in the return of the Moshiach. FIRST, they claim that Yeshua’s return did not take place as the early church hoped – so it must be a myth. SECOND, the theory of inevitable progress keeps some people from believing that Yeshua is coming back. Why do we need the Moshiach to come back if we can reach perfection on our own? THIRD, the teaching of the Moshiach’s return cuts across the plans and dreams of millions of people. They want to eat, drink, and be merry and have their pleasures endlessly. The day will come that the Moshiach’s return would interrupt what they are doing.

TTN app wouldnt log in since the end of Aug. Just today was able to get on. We're moved, and kind of settled. Many things still in boxes. Cats are happier here, now that theyve accepted this as home. Im happier here. I think my daughter is settling in, too. It was a needed change. A little pain, a little stress help the spirit grow. Yah's plan is always better than our plans! Hope everyone has been doing well. Missed you guys!
It's already over. We had a great time with a new group and met several new people and made several new friends. Elohim is good.
What does the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) tell us about eternity? More than we might think, of course, as with all things of God. In this discussion, David Jones and Barry Phillips investigate some of those eternal implications of the eight days of Sukkot.

In Genesis 2:18, God said that he would create Eve to be a "help meet" for Adam, but what exactly does that phrase mean?

Sorry for the late comic. We were heading away from Sukkot when I realized I didn't schedule this one.

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Matthew 6:22-23
How can light be darkness? The eye is a light for the soul. If it only lets in darkness by dwelling on evil, by interpreting the world through lenses of cynicism and pessimism, then it corrupts the soul, filling it with darkness, and then only darkness will come out. If only light is allowed in, then more light will come out. We can aid the light within other people by speaking light into the world, creating a positive feedback loop.

I don't personally count Paul's teaching very high, but I can use it as a barometer for the beliefs of a set of people living in those days. As modern-Christianity if based off of Paul's teaching then it will have a large impact on the general "Christian understanding" in the world.
Here are just 3 examples of how I see his preaching changing:
Early, Imminent View (c. 50-54 AD)
- Believers' Death - The living & dead transformed together at Yeshua's arrival (1 Thess 4).
- End-Time Sequence - Sudden, like a thief in the night; no preceding signs (which goes against Yeshua's teachings of the end days) (1 Thess 5).
- Church Life - Live urgently; the world is passing away (1 Cor 7).
Later, Developed View (c. 60-64 AD)
- Believers' Death - To die is to be "with Christ" immediately (which goes against Rev. 2; Paul expects his own death (Phil 1).
- End-Time Sequence - Must be preceded by a great rebellion and the man of lawlessness (2 Thess 2).
- Church Life - Build lasting church structures, appoint elders, ensure sound doctrine (Titus 1:5).
So, my wonder is why did Paul change his beliefs as he grew older as that contributes to your FIRST point as even Paul wasn't consistent in his teachings, so it gets read according to which dogma you want to preach on?
