Michael Sweet and Alice Cooper travel in the same circles as these guys, so hopefully, they will be able to present a good witness. I do believe the false teachers harming the Gospel message will be held accountable for stuff like this and I am probably a little less reformed in my theology than you when it comes to the TULIP. but I would not consider myself Armenian either. I fall somewhere in the middle with God initiating and providing the faith to believe but there still being a bit of human responsibility to respond. <br />Thanks for reading and commenting, you made my day! <br /><br />Blessings brother!!The Metal Ministerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055770084996175220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-27926065734125041262023-01-13T08:55:19.946-05:002023-01-13T08:55:19.946-05:00This is interesting...I have been thinking about t...This is interesting...I have been thinking about this song since I heard it as a kid when it was released. I pondered Bret Michael's motives and intent with this song. I thought about how possibly he may have never read the Bible but instead only used phony mega pastors actions as justification for his indictment on the church. With the words he chose to use in the song, he paints a broad brush on all bible believing Christians. What if I were to do that with all musicians and lump him in. He wouldn't like that. In fact it would be pretty easy to use HIM as an example as he sings about the poor never having a chance and no one giving a crap about them while he parties it up with the millions he makes off of his records. In fact he is USING the poor to make himself richer. I did some searching on the internet to see if he in fact actually cared and maybe set up a charity for the homeless or veterans....nope...nothing. He recently started a charity for diabetics, only because he is one and it can benefit him.<br />It's a shame. I pray that a fellow believer is able to reach Bret with the true gospel.<br />But, we have no reason to self-examine our motives as Christians due to his lyrics because the ones he talks about are not Christians at all.<br />I really liked Poison as a kid. I liked their melodic compositions and style. But as a follower of Christ, I reject their way of life, lyrical content, and hypocrisy. <br />One more thing, you stated "Michael's chose to reject the truth of Christ, presumably because of corrupt preachers...". Actually, Bret rejected the truth because he wants nothing to do with God. The Bible says that NO MAN comes to the Lord on his own. ALL have gone astray. ALL desire wickedness. If given a choice, we will choose to reject God 100% of the time unless God draws us. Michael's is not a victim of false preachers. At the judgement seat, Bret cannot blame the false preachers. Pray that God draws him to Himself.<br />Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-32984913445206816562022-05-27T02:12:31.143-04:002022-05-27T02:12:31.143-04:00Because many people here is request in Pakistan my...Because many people here is request in Pakistan my WhatsApp +923056001237Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-66054499979417579872022-05-27T02:11:13.556-04:002022-05-27T02:11:13.556-04:00Here is we need many holy BiblesHere is we need many holy BiblesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-999358938965152562022-05-27T02:09:17.459-04:002022-05-27T02:09:17.459-04:00My WhatsApp +923056001237My WhatsApp +923056001237Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-35876871890670431842022-05-27T02:08:46.842-04:002022-05-27T02:08:46.842-04:00Welcome to God Gift Gospel ChurchWelcome to God Gift Gospel ChurchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-54515213071618098742022-05-27T02:08:13.355-04:002022-05-27T02:08:13.355-04:00HiHiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-45176467105314967252022-04-12T09:20:43.912-04:002022-04-12T09:20:43.912-04:00Thank you sir!Thank you sir!The Metal Ministerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055770084996175220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-48105225818739825572022-04-12T08:55:49.253-04:002022-04-12T08:55:49.253-04:00Nicely done, Paul!

We know this because many places these words are used of things that clearly had an end, sometimes in a fairly short period of time.

It only establishes that there is a relationship between the one restraining and the revealing of the man of lawlessness.<br /><br />I have problems with the Michael theory simply because there is nothing in Daniel that describes Michael doing what is described in 2 Thessalonians 2. He doesn't get out of anything's way. Michael is not enigmatic to the Jews, and the use of cryptic language seems unnecessary.<br /><br />I have a problem with the Holy Spirit theory because scripture establishes an increase in Holy Spirit and power of Christ activity. Joel 2:28-29. Revelation 12:10.<br /><br />2 Corinthians 12:4 Could be the source of the mystery.<br /><br />2 Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.<br />7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.<br />8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:<br /><br />Please note the unknowns:<br /><br />iniquity - ?<br /><br />mystery - ?<br /><br />restrain - restrain what?<br /><br />out of the way - whose way?<br /><br />1. Revelation 12:1-9 The dragon fights against his ejection from heaven.<br /><br />2. Revelation 12:10-12 Heaven rejoices because the accuser is OUT OF ITS WAY.<br /><br />3. Revelation 13:1-4 The beast is unveiled.<br /><br />The restrainer is Satan.Philliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997495684027979549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640735427718534869.post-69203878851128256222021-06-09T16:40:36.200-04:002021-06-09T16:40:36.200-04:00Cool story and well written!
