Privately, I am sort of expecting the visitors of the OT to return with Jesus the Christ. The ruins of the Samarians in Southern Iraq, and those in modern day Iran predate Judaism. I don't make any assumptions about them being the fallen Angels. Biblically we know of around 6,000 years of...

In 2001 I was in Israel for almost a week after spending time in Kenya as a missionary in training. We climbed that tel. The whole thing was inspiring and fascinating. We toured as much of Israel as we could in that time. I hoped to come home and work at going to Bible College, but then the...

I was in a Tribulationist church for many years. Seeing their reaction to the fallen and those in need of help and compassion turned me off to it.

My feelings and relationship with God is complicated but very often the words in the Bible don't cover it. And, I have experienced church going people who thirst for the blood of the sinner, having no idea that God alone does the judging and I feel the sole function of the believer is to love...

I was just hoping that there were alternative Denominations that were better for you.

If you don't mind my asking, what denomination is that? He failed you.

Moses encountered God behind a burning bush. If you read carefully, you find that God came to be in a tent and when moses went in to talk to him, his hair turned white and his face glowed. He had to wear a cloth on his face to not frighten the people.

Don't be too disappointed in them. It's taken years but my anger at my church seems less.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 KJV - King James Version 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, ... Privately, I believe we are experiencing "great falling away", and are are approaching the end. Part...

In my dotage, I am comfortable and have enough. I adore God and wish to see him soon. I am mostly alone aside from a Daughter that visits infrequently. One must spend their time in God.

I had a rather extreme background, so the idea of fearing God and not being terrified is incongruent. I learned fear, even terror very early. However, God has been so kind and gracious to me, perhaps even doting on me. I try very hard to please God. At one very low point in life, I can remember...

I'm immunocompromised. I get the flu shot and get the flu and so on. I'm intersex XXY non-Kleinfelter's, with some possible AIS. Thankfully, I've led a full life and feel blessed by God. I never felt handicapped and done most of what I wanted to do, except my lungs were of limited capacity and a...

I'm content to allow mysteries to remain. Predictably, I will learn something that will alter my frame of reference.

I was not raised in a Christian home, and endured horrific abuse. In my late 20s I read a book called "The Late Great Planet Earth". I still have a copy of it. I was extremely hostile about Religion and very angry. So, one Saturday I decided to read that book and prove in my own mind that...

It is just a physical function that both boys and girls do. It has nothing to do with your spirituality. Don't engage in viewing lewd pictures and staring lustfully at others, but some is just natural. I'm just waiting for the attacks. Bring it.

My personal experience with the church is different from yours and I am happy for you. When I return to church it will be to worship God and to receive Holy Communion. I like the hymns if they are reverent. As far as the Pastor, he is just a human, like me.

I have witnessed many changes in the English languages in just my life time.

I'm not a Biblical linguist. Perhaps here the word fear might be closer to the words In Awe? There are 450 English language translations of which I have used about 6. The way I feel about God, my Heavenly Father, is not the same as the way I felt about my brutal, abusive stepfather.

When I first got sick, the church sat me in the center of a circle and others said painful things to me. That was it for me and Christianity for a while.

I'm frustrated and getting angry, but that does not excuse me from being loving and compassionate. I experienced some extreme losses that I will not identify to satisfy someone's lurid curiosity. It took me years to recover and at first I was heavily medicated, and hospitalized a half dozen...
