Hello All,

my fellow brothers & sisters in Christ... why I am here, most curious, (about this site) years ago I came across a website for rapture watchers... The host would pick a date of the rapture based on star alignments.

He even had some scientist video's he would show based on star alignments & the Christians would cheer, and roar and say I cannot wait... Then the date would pass, and the host would pick another date a few months down the road..... & cheering & roaring would begin again, I should mention that the Christians also seemed like a closely knit Family ( I was still an outsider at this point & did remain an outsider)

After a few more missed raptures and the cycle continuing I criticized their behaviour and left the group, I only infrequently visited the group....after a few years & The GOOD LORD JESUS smote what seems a lot of arrogance & pride out of me....

I gather I somewhat missed the point that they were just a Christian family that had bonded around potentially rapture dates and it was not really about the exit dates per say.... after trying to see if I could if the group was still ongoing, so I could return with a new attitude.. I could not find the group and was little disappointed that I could not.... so I thought there must be some other groups of Christians out there that come together...

I am not going to a local Church at this time, I thought I have a little different beliefs than the main stream Christians... however I no longer believe this, mostly communicating my beliefs is not easily conveyed... for I am the foolish things of the world & the Chief Sinner....

just for clarification ( it is by Grace ye are Saved, not of works, lest.....) nothing but the Blood of JESUS.... that said I believe faith & love is the new covenant....

I believe I am suppose to return to Church, sometime's I do not want to make the time or feel hard pressed to find the time... yet I know this is important and have made a plan to try & start around Easter....we will see....

thought I would check this site out, looking forward to reading and posting some comments... believe me when I say confrontation is the last thing on my heart.. curious to hear from fellow Christians, and hear what's on their hearts.....

the few posts I read already seem encouraging!

Hi Bruce, I like your Intro you'll fit in well here welcome to CC! That's nice you have a goal to go back to church, in my neighborhood I feel like I'm making a statement when I pack up and go each Sunday. Tbh, I also sometimes stay at home and watch both my Pastors online(one from Chicago) on Sundays but when I do go it's lovely to greet friends and worship together. Re the Rapture the best comment I've heard was from Paul Crouch who co-founded TBN. He asked the Lord about it after a debate and God told him to tell everyone just to 'BE READY'😃👍. Have fun browsing the Forums, God bless & keep you🙏✝✡!

Bruce,

Sounds a lot like the origins of a big denomination I was listening to a study about last night.

>The Great Disappointment <
Of private interpretations....namely the _________________ cult.
