*SAD*LUP CONTINUALLY QUOTES THE MIDDLE OF THE VERSES IN 2 PETER 3:14-16 BELOW **OUT OF CONTEXT**
2 Peter 3:14-16: Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation., just as our **DEAR BROTHER PAUL** also wrote **WITH THE WISDOM GOD GAVE HIM**. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which unsound and unstable people {Like *SAD*lup and Teddy hugger} distort, as they do other Scriptures, to their **OWN DESTRUCTION**!!
*SAD*lup only quotes "His letters that are hard to understand." in 2 Peter 3:14-16 above???
Below are some Paul's inspired words with the **WISDOM GOD GAVE HIM** that unsound and unstable people {Like *SAD*lup} **DISTORT** as they do other Scriptures to **THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION**!!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the {**OT**} law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE {**OT**} LAW!!"
*WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!
Galatians 4:9,10: How is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you want to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing **SPECIAL DAYS** and months and seasons and years. I fear for you. that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you!!
Colossians 2:16,17: Do dot let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard a special festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**! These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found **IN CHRIST**!!
Galatians 2:14-16,20,21; 3:2,5,10-13;23-25: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because **BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED**!!
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly **NO ONE IS JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD BY THE LAW*, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was weak and useless; for the law made nothing perfect, and a **BETTER HOPE** is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one **OBSOLETE**; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is **SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE**, and it is founded on better promises.
I Corinthians 9:21: I am under **CHRIST'S LAW**!! Galatians 6:2: Fulfill the **LAW OF CHRIST**!!

Ok back on topic.
There are alot of people out there who have religion but sadly, not a relationship.
Jesus compared God to a husbandman in John 15:1–2: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit” (KJV). A good husbandman works the earth, cultivates his plants, and naturally expects them to produce fruit commensurate with the amount of effort he has invested in them. Our heavenly Father, the divine Husbandman, seeks to produce fruit through us as we abide in Christ.
Just as God is a good husbandman, bringing forth fruitfulness in our lives, so should we be good husbandmen with the resources He has entrusted to us.
I had a porch garden and I was out there everyday tending to my red bell peppers. I cut the tops off and it branched out into a tree and had more peppers!. Technically, AZOMITE is a highly mineralized complex silica ore (Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate or HSCAS), mined in Utah from an ancient deposit left by a volcanic eruption that filled a small seabed I put Azomite dust and alaskan humus in the soil and when the aphids came , they got a spray of dish soap mixed with water. They went away completely in a couple of days of spraying. The ants were all over them and was trying to harvest the aphids honeydew substance they secrete by sucking on the plants sap. They were working in harmony together!. So I put out some powdered sugar and boric acid in a yogurt jar and they soon disappeared also. My peppers were fine and withstood the infestation like nothing happened, they were so healthy. They tasted so good because the soil had trace elements that are missing in alot of soils and what most people lack today. I think everyone should cultivate some type of garden in their lives. You can learn so much about God also when you have hands on experience, including being a parent. God is our Father. He was the "father of the fatherless," and the "protector of widows" (Psalm 68:5).
He also invites us into this relationship, teaching us to address God as "our Father in heaven" (Matthew 6:9). It is only through Christ's work on the Cross that we are adopted into this family relationship (Ephesians 1:5).
God's plan is the path to abundant life (John 10:10). And when we accept His Son as our Savior, we are given new life — adopted into the Father's family (Romans 6:23).
He lovingly corrects us. As the true Father, God's discipline and correction are always done out of love (Hebrews 12:3-11).
He provides for our needs. Show kids all the ways God provides for our needs. Celebrate rainstorms and apple trees and lakes full of fish. How much joy the true Father must receive when we enjoy all the good gifts that He has provided through creation (Matthew 7:11).
He gives us His wisdom. We help our kids learn life skills and encourage them in their gifts and talents. But help them see that true wisdom comes from our heavenly Father. His inspired Word is the ultimate source of wisdom and truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17d).
He is the ultimate model of forgiveness. We all mess up, but our true Father is constantly on watch for our return, running to us with joy when we turn back to His family (Luke 15:11-32). Parable of the Prodigal Son

**WHAT ARE THE PRE-TRIB, POST-TRIB, MID-TRIB AND PRETERIST VIEWS OF THE END TIMES**??
The most popular view is the secret Pre-Tribulation Rapture {About 65 percent} just before a 7-year or 3 1/2 year {1278 days} or 1260-day Great Tribulation of all the Church Saints. And then on the last Day of the Tribulation at the 2nd coming of Jesus all the Tribulation saints and the OT saints will be resurrected and then the lost will be resurrected immediately followed by Judgment Day.
The next most popular is a one time Post-Tribulation Resurrection {About 25 percent} for all the saints on the Last Day of the 7-year 0r 3 1/2 year or 1260-day Great Tribulation, immediately followed by the Resurrection of the lost and Judgment Day. I believe in this Post-Triblation Resurrection after a 1260-day Great Tribulation.
And then there are those {About 5 percent} who believe in a Mid-Trib ot Pre wrath resurrection in the middle of the Great Tribulation followed by a another resurrection on the Last Day, immediately followed by the resurrection of the lost and Judgment Day.
And then there is the Preterist view {About 5 percent} which believes that **EVERYTHING IN REVELATION and in the Olivet Prophecies in Matthew 24 & 25, Mark 13 and Luke 21 symbolically took place in the 3 1/2 years between April AD 67 and October AD 70 when Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple was completely destroyed by the Roman army. Nero Caesar who was *666* gave the order in April AD 67 to make war against Israel who had rebelled against their Roman rulers. But Nero Ceasar committed suicide in June of AD 67.
However there are many things in the Olivet prophecies and Revelation which contradict the Preterist view as follows:
Matthew 24:29-31: Jesus says, "Immediately after the distress of those {1260} days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from the sky! {Luke 21:28 adds "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near!"} Then will ***APPEAR*** the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. and then all the {Unsaved} peoples of the earth will mourn when the see the son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud {7th & Last} trumpet call, and the will gather **HIS ELECT** from the 4 winds, from one end of heavens to the other!" {Mark 13:27 adds "From the ends of the earth!"}
Matthew 25:31-34,41,46: Jesus says, "**WHEN** the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him {See Matthew 24:29-31 above}. He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed by My Father, take your inheritance the Kingdom prepared for you.'... ***THEN*** He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal for prepared for the devil and his angels.' ... Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
You can be absolutely sure that the Resurrection of all of God's saints and the lost and Judgment Day did not take place in October AD 70!!
2 Thessalonians 1:1,6-10: To the **CHURCH** of the Thessalonians... God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen **WHEN THE LORD JESUS IS **REVEALED** from heaven in **BLAZING GLORY** with His powerful angels {See Matt 24:29-31above}. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might ***ON THE DAY*** He comes to glorified in His saints and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes **YOU** {Thessalonian CHURCH SAINTS**!!}
This Scripture absolutely contradicts the pre-trib belief that a secret silent rapture of the **CHURCH SAINTS** will take place 3 1/2 or 7 years **BEFORE** the unsaved are judged and sent to hell **ON THE DAY** Jesus is **REVEALED**!! Since the Resurrection of all the Church Saints and the lost are Resurrected on the **SAME LAST DAY**!
