[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone seen this Kristof Easter interview in the New York Times? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/20/opinion/sunday/christian-easter-serene-jones.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage

He interviews the dean of  Union Theological Seminary, who is a United Church of Christ minister and a former Yale professor who doesn’t believe in the virgin birth or the resurrection and isn’t sure about heaven.  Still, she considers herself a Christian.

What do you think?

No surprised at all. The Scripture describes the End Times as the times when the power of the false church will be unmatched. The true Church will go underground. The false church is the church without Jesus, without Scripture, without Resurrection, without Trinity. The false church is described as the Whore of Babylon and the bride of Satan. The true Church is described as the Bride of Jesus. Jesus already won on the Cross and He will return as the Judge and hurl the false church, its followers together with Satan into the pits of hell. The true Church with its people will be resurrected and will spend the eternity in the presence of God.[/quote]

I guess we're a long ways from the end times, then, because the "True church" is currently much stronger that the false church[/quote]

People are trying to estimate whether we are in the End Times or not. Some say yes, some say no. Let's keep in mind that [b]God's timelines are much longer than what we think of in terms of our human lives[/b]. End Times could last 2, 5, 10 thousand years. But I think we are in the End Times and I think there is still a very, very long time to go until the final End. And, no the true Church is not stronger. The true Church is being decimated every single day, sometimes in hundreds. The false church holds most of the power through congregations, universities, and public offices. However, the true Church will prevail because that is what Jesus foretold: "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." - Matthew 16:18[/quote]

So how did you find out about God's longer timelines?  Talking to God?  Wishful thinking? Making excuses?[/quote]

Try reading the Bible and understanding world and human history. It’s not that hard. [/quote]
