From Luke?

I had to look it up - if you'd said "tax collector" I'd have been fine. Which translation uses publican?

Why does it matter?

I suppose it doesn't. I was just curious. Anyway - it was the tax collector who was justified before God because he was penitent and prayed in deep humility, rather than with the self righteousness of the Pharisee.

But to the point...
God already knows our hearts. Yours, mine, everyone. I am not your judge, you are not mine.
Hearts can change, but rarely after we get to our senior years.

Exactly. So to me, taking things out of context would be like taking words away from the entire prophecy.

The book in its entirety is the Lord's Revelation to John, handed down to us from the early Church fathers.

You can't have a discussion of a few verses, it has to be the entire book. And this is not the place for it.

That's what you say,not what revelation says,which takes it out of context. I've studied revelation and end time prophecies all thru the bible for 30 years,it fascinates me. We literally are in the endtimes the beginning of sorrows, Biden is betraying Israel as we speak. Trump was solid on his support for them. That alone could make him worthy of the presidency in God's eyes although it also says that Israel will be on her own that no one will support her so who knows. I pray God put who He wants in at this critical time as we all should.

So are you cognizant that everything we've been discussing not only applies to me but it applies to you?

We do seem to be nearing that time. But others have believed the same for many generations before us.

We always need to be ready to answer for our actions and choices.

I happened to borrow a book from the library in the biography section: "A Man Called Peter."
That was it. I knew God had led me to it. Later, I bought copies of other books by Catherine Marshall. She was a gifted writer.
What is my job? To listen. And reflect. And pray. And help others.

And Trump is what God sends to be America’s saviour? A man for which greed is king?

A real God emissary would be a whole lot more tolerant.

Watch this, and listen carefully, this is the Bible speaking

Do you read the Bible daily? You're deceiving yourself.

Read Ephesians 2:8-9 and Romans 10:9-10 on how to be saved.

Read Matthew 28:19-20 to find out what your job as a Christian is.

To many signs are converging all at once ,we've had those signs over time but never all together at once,one after another. And we need to watch Israel as they are God prophetic time clock. What's happening to her,in psalms it tells us all the nation's surrounding her will come against her,I believe this is just starting as Hamas and Hesbola is bombing her as we speak and it's coming out of the people and area spoken of. Watch look up as its going to be horrendous. America under Biden is abandoning her drawing back our support. Woe to our country if it continues.
