The Prophecies of St. Malachy

John The Baptist SG

Hello all, if u r interested, pls search for "The prophecies of St. Malachy" using search engines like google or yahoo. Very interesting prophecy of the no. of popes until the end time. This present pope is the 2nd last pope acc to count of popes from last time. Very convincing as even the name Benedict xvi is connected to the prophecy.

I agree somewhat that we r on the verge of great trib. Bcos this pope is very old & vatican said he is a transitional pope as they r looking for younger one. How long could he serve? I was glued to CNN, BBC etc for the election of the pope & walla, BLACK SMOKE! Smile A sign of the times! The 1st one in so many yrs acc to catholic sources. I think the next one just might be the antipope or false prophet but this is my own opinion only. Catholics pls dont whack me. Maybe this pope will die some time in future, or resign or gets raptured up. Holy Spirit seems to be telling me that God has given so much grace to us all-see how He preserved Pope John Paul II. Even when he was hunchback & wracked with disease & pain, he survived until the turn of the millenium & beyond. God is so good! God is so good! God is so good, he's so good to me! Smile Btw, this is a very nice song to me even when i m suffering now.

M©+square SG

name the sufferings you’re going thru now?

John The Baptist SG

Even if i tell u, u will never fully understand. Not all S'poreans r fortunate, blessed ppl so called according to world's stds. Not all Christians r rich healthy ppl. Not all Christians r smart, look handsome, tall, articulate or sexy. Bcos of certain megachurches in S'pore, ppl got wrong idea of Christians in general. Ppl also got wrong idea of Christians in general bcos they just look at wealthy ones in S'pore or USA. Why dont look at those who got executed or beheaded in certain dictator ctries & suffering poverty in African nations?

There r even more wealthier non-Christians who has got many times more assets than so-called rich Christians, like Bill Gates, Sim Yong Hoo, Donald Trump, Lee Ka Shing & Son, LKY, Shaw Brothers, etc etc. So why this irrational hatred twds Christians if none other than satan confusing ppl?

laurence82 SG

gee, irrational indeed

more like the egoism within u 'i am good, others are bad'

and since when wealth is to be used as a measure of someone's blessings?

surely u are not from CHC, with their crappy 'wealth is health' philosophy?

blinded... Laughing

John The Baptist SG

Did i say i am good, others are bad? I SAID

Not all S'poreans r fortunate, blessed ppl so called according to world's stds. Not all Christians r rich healthy ppl. Not all Christians r smart, look handsome, tall, articulate or sexy. Bcos of certain megachurches in S'pore, ppl got wrong idea of Christians in general. Ppl also got wrong idea of Christians in general bcos they just look at wealthy ones in S'pore or USA. Why dont look at those who got executed or beheaded in certain dictator ctries & suffering poverty in African nations?

As i said, wealth is NOT TO BE USED AS A MEASURE OF SOMEONE'S BLESSINGS. IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID. W/C IS WHERE I STAND DOCTRINALLY.

I AM NOT FROM CHC & NEVER WAS & NEVER WILL BE. ANYWAY, I CONSIDER CHC TO BE A CULT BUT I LEAVE THE JUDGEMENT TO GOD. I JUST PRAY FOR DISCERNMENT & THE S'PORE CHURCH IN GENERAL & MAY GOD OPEN THE EYES OF OUR POLITICAL & RELIGIOUS LEADERS.

laurence82 SG

gee, someone denied his egoism is present onsite

so, i must highight something for his visual impairment

so others people hatred are irrational? blame on satan but urself?

sheesh

laurence82 SG

again for someone's visual impairment

for those who are intellectually more adept to reading post such as this, wealth has already been given value judgement, and then subtly denied.

can the intellectual being pls point it out...mcsquare?

alexkusu SG

Wealth does not necessarily mean financial or physical wealth.

Chin Eng SG

So what's your problem...???
I am not rich, handsome, sexy (eek!), smart etc etc..... So what! I have no problem with that, and there is no need to make any declaration at all, because I am not insecure with my self-image.
Know what? you strike me as a superior-inferor: Someone who thinks he is superior because he is inferior....

With the exception of a small number of forumites, I don't think there is a irrational hatred towards Christians.... there goes the martyr's complex again...
So what? Are you going to be genuinely happy when the whole world is against you.... so much so that when things are going well for you, you need to instigate verbal abuse on yourself so that you feel right???? You have a serious problem, man....

John The Baptist SG

I think u read too much into my message. I AM NOT INSECURE AT ALL WITH MY SELF IMAGE EVEN WHEN PASSERSBY R PASSING UNFAIR JUDGEMENT. I DONT EVEN CARE IF GIRLS DONT LIKE ME BCOS OF MY APPEARANCE. I DONT CARE IF PPL CHOOSE NOT TO BEFRIEND ME BCOS I KNOW MYSELF & MY OWN VALUES. I DONT CARE IF PPL LOOK DOWN ON ME BCOS I AM POOR. I AM JUST STATING DONT JUST LOOK AT THE RICH BUT ALSO CARE FOR THE POOR. DONT SUCK UP TO THOSE WHO CAN FAVOUR & HELP U & NEGLECT THOSE WHO CANT HELP BCOS NO MONEY ETC. IQ IS NOT EVERYTHING. I JUST RESPONDED TO A QUESTION TT I DONT WANT TO ANSWER DIRECTLY BCOS THE GUY ASKED ME WHAT I M SUFFERING FROM.

FUNNY DID I EVER INSTIGATE VERBAL ABUSE PURPOSELY? PLS READ ALL MY POSTS IN CONTEXT & SEE FOR YOURSELF. WHO HAS SERIOUS PROBS HERE? SO R U HAVING PERSECUTOR'S COMPLEX?

laurence82 SG

Dude, seriously, see a shrink. i think u got a pyschological problem.

ben1xy SG

drops the caps. u're juz being plain rude.

for your first paragraph ... go take up any personallity psychology textbook. look under Sigmund Freud's projection defense mechanism.

i still stand by my stance.. whether or not the End Times are coming, we still persevere in our lives as Christians. u don't preach or engage in good works because the End Times are coming. u do it out of love and out of obedience.

once again, its explicitly stated that no one knows when the End Times are coming. y then do people try so hard to guess. i dun see the point

happyharvest SG

I agree with you that we should not try so hard to guess the timing or relate every world events to the bible prophecies. But ..... still remain watchfulness cos it will make you feel the urgency to reach out to others and also to remind you of His imminent coming.

Smile

Chin Eng SG

Shocked hey whatever you say.... and, please.... drop the caps.

The issue of status was never a problem in this thread, your brought it up.
You said that you are not insecure yet you claim that passerbys pass unfair judgement on you?

Or you have no girlfriends because of your appearance? And that people do no befriend you because of your own values? (What's that??? You values more superior to others?)

Or that people look down on you 'cos you are poor? And that people should not suck up to the rich but also take care of the poor? So who's the poor here? You? So we should now help you? Hey, if this is not insecurity, I am not sure what this is.

I am confused, someone had the heart to ask you what you are suffering from, means someone cared. But you refuse to reveal what's bugging you and started a tirade on status, wealth, poverty, intellect blah blah, which has nothing to do with the topic.

Yup, I have read most of your posts, which consists mainly of some doomsday prophecy written by people of questionable origins. Other than that you're claiming the forerunner of the second coming, the new John The Baptist, new martyr. C'mon give a break.... be serious here Laughing

happyharvest SG

I dunno if I'm doing the right thing to say something, but please dun flame me lar.

M©+square said to JTB, "name the sufferings you're going thru now?"

I think M©+square's tone also not right. It is like telling JTB that you better name every sufferings you are going through now or else I will never believe you. It is like demanding something from JTB and you said he cares... hmm.... [This is how I feel what M©+square is hinting JTB lar..... no offense lar, ]

If I was JTB, I would be pissed off if he tells me to list down "every" sufferings I'm facing now, like with authority lidat. I dun feel comforted by his "caring". I dunno what about you people, but this seems a bit or maybe quite rude to me.

Hope I won't get screwed for speaking this up.

Did I get it wrong?

If the ans is yes, dun flame me lar. Correct me with politeness.

Chin Eng SG

Here's the problem with READING.... one can only guess the emotions of the writer.....

You are probably not too wrong in your assessment, I'd give MC benefit of the doubt. If you reread JTB's reply to MC, I don't think he was pissed at that time. His next note was basically wallowing in self-pity.

He got really upset only after Lau's reply... where JTB started with the bold-caps treatment.

I still think he is pissed 'cos of my comments about his posting of links that are totally not credible. There has been no apologies or at least a admittance of an oversight. There has been, however, questions on Apologetics Index's purpose and mission. So instead of at least looking whether one is wrong or not, one decides now to point fingers at others.

So now that you've analysed MC's question, do you have any comments to the bold-caps rebuttals that JTB is accustomed to delivering?

Hope I am polite enough Laughing

Admittedly I am less polite than you (in some instance and to some people).... no flame.... just a matter of fact.
no problem... you good....

sgdiehard SG

This is a forum so we all have the right to say what we feel, but what is say is right or not is another matter. In this situation, what is right and what is wrong? Wink

Actually before Mc+square replied I was going to ask " What sufferings??"

JTB talked about the prophecy of the no. of popes till the end time, and he is convinced that the present pope is the 2nd last and we r on the verge of great trib. and oh, a sign of times, and the "Holy Spirit seems to be telling me that God has...." and then he talked about his sufferings. Is he in a trance or what? Twisted Evil

I thought question like that from Mc+Square would be good to wake him up from further "imagined sufferings". Laughing

His reply certainly showed that he was anything but sober.

Hope I am polite enough, cheers. Smile

laurence82 SG

mcsquare has never even been hostile to begin with

i tot i should be the one holding this label...alas... Crying or Very sad

breytonhartge SG

I think that things are getting a bit too emotional here and people need to calm down.

JTB, take a break for a while and calm down... no use hitting your head against a wall, even Jesus used tact when He was reasoning with the pharisees. Ask God/Holy Spirit for wisdom to put your message across. I don't doubt that you have a valid one, but maybe rephrase it? No point upsetting everyone, even us Christians, we are all on the same side, if you have gotten Chin Eng upset, then you must have hit a nerve somewhere... he is pretty calm... I know that you don't care about what people think about you, but we are also reminded not to stumble our fellow believers in Christ. Take some time to pray about this.. please?

Guys, I think that we have progressed far enough in this thread.. I would like to see the "hostilities" subside? Thanks! Its only a forum no need to get so upset.

Hope this does not shock you too much Laurence! Very Happy

breytonhartge SG

did not ever think that you were hostile, you just know how to push peoples buttons... Hmmm Very Happy
