Mhz, you are still In my prayers because almost every post I have read from you...just ain't right.
1. I believe spiritual gifts still happen today.
2. Its the season of Lent, 40 days where traditional Christians give up something in memory of the 40 years the Isrealites wandered the desert and the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness.
Are you doing a 40 day fast?
3.I and many other Christians don't buy into the lie of the Rapture.
Not sure what else you are spouting but....eh leave that to someone else to address.
That's cool, you will find I am as honest as I am upfront.
Perhaps that is because I am a literalist/futerist that supports we are still in the time of the brass so none of the iron/clay kingdom has even started. (rather than I cannot comprehend anything more difficult than a business card)
1. true but you have to ask for them in a sincere prayer. You will have the best results with prayers for understanding about the Bible. Safety from harm during the trumps, like indicated by these verses.
De:4:30:
When thou art in tribulation,
and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days,
if thou turn to the LORD thy God,
and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
De:4:31:
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God
he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee,
nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
2. The 12 Tribes gained a lot more than they lost. Should they not be giving something good to the rest of the world to show how blessed they are? The fasting allowed Jesus to control demons that were too powerful for a pair of Apostles.
People die on day 39 of hunger strikes so I'll wait for my change to come like all Christians do. With any luck it will be a painless transition.
1Co:15:51:
Behold,
I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
1Co:15:52:
In a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
