Have you limited the Lord’s presence to heaven or your own particular denomination or belief system? This limiting would be a significant error because God’s presence fills all space. No corner on this earth is so obscure or a place so dark that evil can hide itself from Him. He is at the side of every creature, keeping them healthy and active. And is man not of more value than all these? For He has made us in His image and likeness?

The LORD saw Nathanael under the fig tree as plainly as he would have seen him in the Temple. He saw Adam and Eve when they sought to conceal themselves among the trees of Eden. God saw Abraham, who was about to strike down with his knife and bury it in his own son’s heart; God stopped him. He saw Hagar in the wilderness when she kissed her son Ishmael and then laid him down to die. When the lad moaned aloud in his agony from thirst, the LORD opened Hagar’s eyes; she saw a well of water.

God saw Elijah in the lonely cave and startled him with the question, “Why are you here, Elijah? He saw Peter asleep in the inner dungeon and Paul when being tossed about in the darkness of a roaring sea off the coast of Malta. It was then the LORD saw their plight and visited them both.

And for the faithful, God’s Holy Spirit will be with us always. When at war, a General in the army needs to be in direct communication with his men who are fighting on the front lines of the battle, and so is the Lord Jesus with us in our battles each day.

A man has tens of thousands of nerves in his body. Each nerve reports whatever it feels directly to the brain. Because the brain is in intimate union with its body, it immediately responds to whatever danger is present.

And so is the Lord Jesus Christ in us, and we in him: in him do we live, move, and have our being. All believers sleep under his shadow; we eat and drink before him; we draw our breath from his hand; and our thoughts no less than our acts are naked and open before him.
And keeping these things in mind, shall we not fear the Lord and rejoice before him with trembling? For His banner of love and protection is over all of His own.

“for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:16-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭

And so the dreaded scourge returns 😂
Thunderr-mental, I know you post that comment of mine because you love to read my very, very funny responses. This one's for you.

A while back I entered a contest concerning end time prophesy. Well, wouldn’t you know, I won! They gave me three choices for my prize vacation.
1. A 3-week vacation in downtown Damascus, the week they celebrate the birth of terrorism!

2. Or one full week at Churnable!

3. A two-week cruise along the Bermuda triangle. So, I thought it over, and decided to decline the three, instead I told them I would like to go to Bangladesh during the monsoon season.

Thunderrr, concerning your question, "i can't understand why so many people are making jokes about the rapture?" My thoughts on the subject. I don't not believe these people have any idea why a rapture is necessary. Death and destruction lie at the end, and unless a person has had a full life, these things are words only.

The Lord told us, most will not be prepared, they will be marrying, divorcing, paying an average of 12,000 dollars for a Super Bowl ticket, while millions of elderly people and children are starving. Stealing, lying, murdering, selling and doing drugs and the whole rest of this immoral spirit that has come to America and the rest of the world. That's why people make jokes, they really never sat down and thought about what's coming.

Thunderrr, curious, where you from, and what do you do for a living.
well I was born and raised in wales Gods country 😊,.i .spent a long time living in Ireland, and I'm now living in the England. All tho not for much longer hopefully 😃

For a living I'm now driving trucks and doing carpentry at the moment, all tho I've been looking after my family mostly for the last 6 months. I'm hoping to Get into phycology and just build a few boats a year, and finish the truck driving all together,

My aim is to learn every aspect of religion to help those who go crazy in the mind, with torment. 😊

Interesting! I always appreciated a man who works with his hands doing carpentry. A good carpenter will always have work, especially a skilled carpenter. Curious, why phycology? the worlds gone mad, what's the point? What kind of boats are you talking about? Studying the Bible has been my passion since 1982. I'm 86 now, and getting tired, nobody listens. I'm going to drop my website shortly, used to do 28,000 hits a week, now there are so many websites it's no longer worthwhile. That's one of the reasons I joined this discussion forum. I wish you the best, hope all your dreams come to pass.

I only tell my friends jokes and you seem to be a pretty nice guy, so this one's for you.

I was getting out of shape, so I began reading a book on how to get in shape. By the third page I was completely out of breath.

that's good is your name John.i have a feeling it is, 😊 It's good that you say you have been studying all your life,

May I ask why did you choose a number for your user name, and is there any meaning to the number you chose ?.

Well when I had a business of my own I had rich clients, paying lots of money for private phycology lessons not from me, but also they would pay the company I had a share in lots of money for any kind of boat they wanted from sailing to racing, so phycology is something i plan to do whilst sailing, 😊

Nursing has been in my family through out the generations, so I have an interest in it 😊

And of course when I get a bit older I would just like a layed back Job,. And something worth while doing, for all sorts of reasons I would like to raise money to build a house for those who don't have much money, .and help them with mental health orders related to religion.

Thunderrr, thanks for your comments. First, my name is Phillip Laspino, full-blooded second-generation Italian. The 10-22-27 is the name of a novel I recently published; it can be purchased on Amazon, thought to get some cheap advertising on the forum. As far as studying phycology, if it's in your heart, go for it. If you don't when you get old like me, you'll wish you had. If you decide it's not for you, you can always move on. As for studying the Bible it's only been half my life, started when I was 45.

Served in the Marine, then trained and drove Harness horses for 28 years. Moved to Alabama after I drove my last horse in 1989. Built several homes, and over the years purchased four repossessed Mobil homes at auction, remodeled them and sold them for small profits.

Haven't done much lately except work around the house. I spend anywhere from 5-8 hours every day researching the Bible, it's something I love to do, and I feel it's important. I own a wonderful library of books, commentaries, Lexicons, and Expositors, most predate 1890 and many predate 1850. I use the Internet for historical information, but as for Biblical information, I research through the many commentaries and the Greek and Hebrew dictionaries, I trust them more than the Internet.

I wish you the best in whatever you do, hope the Lord is blessing you as he does me. Over my desk I have a small reminder, "If you want to learn, ask questions and be a good listener."

Thanks for your kindness Philip, it's nice to know you by name rather than a number.

32 dollars is a bit expensive for 232 pages Philips, have you sold many ?.

You may want to consider selling ebooks Philip. People buy them because there much cheaper, and of course there is not many over heads hardly for you 😉

Well I will wish you well and all the best too.



Thanks Jay 😊

Thunderr, Good morning. How's England doing these days? As for my book it only goes for 19 or 20 dollars, so it must be the shipping to England that adds to the cost. But thanks for even considering it.

The trouble with England is there's not enough Welshman there and not enough sheep there, and of course to many retched kings and priests, that have come and gone through out the ages, King james being one of them 😊

I think they all need a dose of the dreaded scourge in England 😋

thunderrr, now that I’m old, all I think about are the days when I was young and unhappy.
