    Christianity curiously unsettles people

    Yeah, I do find that but I’m also finding that even on Christian sites people are ready to attack you if you share a different view on a subject these days. I’ve not experienced it here I might add but I just had to leave many places as I just can’t take it, I’m tired of the fight, a fight...

    God had given us a commandment the Tithes & Offerings. How people today followed the commandment?

    He has blessed us in many ways but I can still say that we’ve never gone short of money.

    What are you thinking about right now?

    I’m lying in the bath after a day at work wondering if I should play my guitars tonight or practice my darts… such a dilemma 🤔

    Book recommendations

    I do have that in my collection. I’ve read bits of it and my wife has read it a few times now. I’ll get round to it soon.

    Tithing is a very personal matter between you and God. Nobody should be judging you if you do or don’t, neither should anyone try to push you into it. My story… I felt like God was challenging me on my giving and had been for a few weeks. Finally, one Sunday morning I decided that if I believed...

    Book recommendations

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this one, I’m not sure where would be best but as the title suggests I’m looking for a book recommendation. I’m looking at discovering more about the spiritual realm. We all know it’s there, Jesus spoke of angels and indeed demons so we know for sure...

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    “Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the...

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    Why is it referred to as the Great Tribulation ? If it wasn’t the time of Jacob’s trouble it would surely read just times of tribulation. It’s also referred to as a time of great persecution. Wouldn’t those coming to Christ during that period be persecuted more than any other time in history ...

    exactly. The entire 70 weeks is all about Israel, to make Israel see that Jesus was and is the one they were waiting for. It’s known as the time of Jacob’s trouble for a reason. It’s not the time of the church’s trouble it’s Jacob’s (Israel).

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    There will be many who turn to Christ during the tribulation period ( the tribulation saints in Revelation ). The Holy Spirit must still be active drawing people to Jesus during that time so it cant be the Holy Spirit… unless it’s referring to the Holy Spirit within each and every believer ...

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” ‭‭II Thessalonians‬...
