James 2: 19 Commentary

There is no hope of salvation for fallen angels because Christ never died for them. James’ point is that believers who believe the right thing but don’t do the right thing are not going to be blessed by God. (James 1:23-25).

SOME CHRISTIANS BELIEVES GOD YET THEY PROPHESY FALSELY so will they be part of the once saved always save group…see this article on their BIG BLUNDER by a COGwriter: SOURCE:http://www.cogwriter.com/news/cog-news/we-are-almost-there-ronald-weinland-and-harold-camping/

“We Are Almost There!”, Ronald Weinland, and Harold Camping
VS.
COGwriter

Regular readers of this page realize that I have been denouncing the false prophecies of CG-PFK’s Ronald Weinland for many years. Interestingly, he and his church decided to title his Last Great Day sermon of 9/30/10, We Are Almost There!

The reason that this is interesting, is that We Are Almost There! is the title of perhaps the most popular booklet of another false prophet, Harold Camping.

Harold Egbert Camping

Now I have written about some of the similarities between these false prophets before (e.g. Harold Camping’s Two Witnesses Provided No Real Witness). Both of them have proven to be false prophets as both have changed their previous “end of the world” dates. And both currently believe that the “Great Tribulation” started some time ago with Ronald Weinland claiming it began on December 14, 2008 and Harold Camping on May 22, 1988.

Of course, the Great Tribulation has not yet begun (and cannot prior to 2014, for details as on that, please check out the article Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2010, 2011, or 2012?). For only one biblical reason (and there are many), the following would have been fulfilled throughout the Great Tribulation:

25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time (Daniel 7:25).

The “He” referred to in Daniel 7:25 is the King of the North. This leader will terribly persecute, and normally attempt to kill, the Laodicean and other Christians that are not then in a place of protection (see also the article There is a Place of Protection for the Philadelphians). The “time, times, and half a time” represents three and one-half years. Daniel 7:25 has not been fulfilled (see also Persecutions by Church and State), and it obviously should have been if the Great Tribulation began when either Harold Camping or Ronald Weinland claimed it did.

Both Ron Weinland and Harold Camping also claim that Jesus will return on Pentecost. Ronald Weinland claims that Jesus will return on May 27, 2012. In his, We Are Almost There! booklet Harold Camping claims that Jesus will return on Pentecost, May 21, 2011. And although Jesus WILL NOT return on either of those dates, because Harold Camping ignores the biblical calendar (and instead relies on a Roman calendar), the date he has selected for Jesus’ return is not even the biblical date for Pentecost (Ron Weinland at least knows what day is Pentecost, though he has many other errors of his own).

Unlike Ron Weinland who had a COG background, yet repudiated part of it (he became unitarian), Harold Camping does not have a COG background. Both men, however, highly allegorize scripture to the point that they make many of its prophetic teachings essentially meaningless in their interpretations. They really need to learn how to understand the Bible (and should study the article What is the Appropriate Form of Biblical Interpretation?).

Anyway, it is a little amazing to me how the false prophet Ronald Weinland chose to title a sermon with the same title that the false prophet Harold Camping used for his booklet.

And while the end of the 6,000 years that God gave humanity to rule itself under the influence of Satan and cut off from most access to Him is almost over, Jesus simply cannot return prior to 2017 (and most likely not for one or more years later) as certain biblically required events have not yet taken place.

Yet, certain preliminary biblically required prophetic events are happening that are preparing the world for the end. And while we are not there yet, events are moving us closer to the end.

Because of false prophecies such as from people like Ron Weinland and Harold Camping, many in the media and elsewhere will make light of the fact that Jesus truly will return. Many will become scoffers. As foretold in scripture, false prophets like Ron Weinland and Harold Camping sometimes cause the way of truth blasphemed (2 Peter 2:1-3). And although many scoffers will arise, prophecy will be fulfilled and Jesus will return (2 Peter 3:3-10; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

Ronald Weinland and Harold Camping need to publicly repent, and do so now, as they are not God’s prophets, but have spoken presumptuously (Deuteronomy 18:22). No one should heed their non-biblical prophetic utterances.

Monsieur Tiuche (Post #1): Jesus Christ did not die for fallen angels.

THE DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE AND EVEN TREMBLES BUT THEY ARE DESTINED FOR THE LAKE OF FIRE, WHY?

You believe in God; that is well…but what God wants from you is a true relationship-Father & Son. If you do not humble yourself before God, study and obey His Word…keeping it preciously in your heart…how can you call Him ABBA-Father?If you donot obey Him in believing on His truly begotten Son who died to pay your sins, how you gonna call Jesus as your savior? How could you know Him & how could you grew close to Him? Might you be not in danger when He comes and say to those who would not obey His Word/ nor God’s Laws:

“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:23.
