Good morning Mel

Do you mean "vernacular"?

Meh. At this stage of my emotional development, I kind of think funny hair colors look a bit silly. I may change though, and I expect you make it look good anyway.

NO IT IS NOT! You say it does not mean the second coming even though it says "he will appear a second time". That it does apply to the second coming is just your presumption. It clearly says that Christ will come a second time. That can only mean His Second Coming. One of the things that...

You interpretation of this verse is a common one, but it is not unanimous nor absolute. We simply do not know who it is talking about. It could easily be a mighty angel. This verse is not sufficient to create the doctrine of a pre-trib rapture. Indeed, no individual verse is sufficient to create...

Tourist, I think you may be being a bit too harsh about therapists. There are a lot of tools that are now available to help people make progress in their lives, according to their own opinion. A godly therapist can work "miracles" for people who have been taught the wrong ways to approach life...

... when you spend hours wandering around CC because you don't have anything else you want to do.

I am struggling to turn my computer into a ham radio receiver. I've been working on it for a few days. Sometimes I make good progress then I try to fix something else and everything that I had working goes querphluie. Other than that I am trying to keep up on my mowing. Things are going well...

Please do. I won't hurt, and it may help gloriously.

FWIW, Darby didn't invent the doctrine. He plagiarized it and then promoted it for 50 years in Europe and North America. As best as I can tell, the concept was invented in the Albury Prophesy conferences held near London in the late 1820's. Much of Dispensationalism is plagiarized from their...

Have you been evaluated for ADD/ADHD? I had severe problem with getting things done and considered myself a failure. Then, in my early thirties, I was diagnosed with ADHD and got on medication. My whole world changed in just minutes, literally. I still have problems but I like to think I am...

Hi Chance, I am convinced that the more we understand God's love for us, the more we will love Him back. I am further convinced the the more we love Him, the more we will love what He loves, which is other people. I invite you to neglect all the passages that talk about God's wrath and focus...

Thank you for putting all the time in to determine what software would best replace the old website software. I can't imagine how many options you had to sort through and how long it took to evaluate them all and then learn this one well enough to make the switch. I also can't guess all the...

"1. The Rapture is always imminent in Scripture" The early Christian church believed that Christ could come at any moment. They also believed that Christ would come at the end of the tribulation. This is because they believed they were already in the tribulation.

"1. The Rapture is always imminent in Scripture" No, it is not. 2 Thessalonians 2 1. Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2. not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come...

. Not one of these passages place the "rapture" before the tribulation. The pre-trib rapture concept did not exist (as best as I can tell) until the late 1820's where it was invented at the Albury Prophesy Conferences. From there it migrated to the Powerscourt Prophesy Conferences in the early...

I am very blessed by God in every part of my life. I have gone through some difficult times but I am profoundly grateful to God that He brought me through them and now I am here. I believe that I can trust God at least a little more than I did 30-40 years ago when I was in the early stages of my...

My definition of faith comes from Heb 11:6 (paraphrased); Without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Faith is believing that God is worth seeking and then seeking Him. It is believing...

Why don't you start?

Do you have deep relationships with any of the other members? Is there an encouragement to love one another from the church leadership? Is God working great things in your church? If you answered "No" to all of these, ask God if this is where He wants you. Perhaps He is leading you elsewhere. A...
