    I'm sorry for your loss brother. You know where she is so take comfort in that. You will see her again. That doesn't prevent grief but it does make us able to not grieve as the world does, Without hope. I lost my husband of 20 years, but in a different way. He said he felt like after I met God...

    The Gospel Demands Radical Sacrifice - David Platt

    I'm not going to have a ridiculous conversation with you, but yes, He brings me situations and circumstances where I am in a constant state of death to my pride of life, my possesions, my rights to ownership, my right to defend myself, and all that the world says I am entitled to. I go kicking...

    That would be going about it the wrong way. You don't try, you trust. But if you trust, He takes you there.

    OSAS= House Built on Sand

    It is a deal to cheat death that would proclaim Gods hands are tied in regards to subsequent unbelief. God saved Israel but nevertheless became displeased at their subsequent unbelief and mistrust and refused to let them enter the rest He had prepared for them. However, it is a race of trust...

    Yes. And we break that rest in Him every time we don't trust. One could be in church every Sunday while always breaking the law to keep the Sabbath rest. It is a race of trust. This race doesn't happen every Saturday or sunday. It happens every moment. So Run the race of trust to win it. And if...

    Pray that you may be counted worthy to escape those things, those tribulations coming on the whole world to test its people. Pray that He remove s your dross now.

    I've wondered if maybe some do not go kicking and screaming to the death of their pride of life and a giving up of their rights and so they don't see or particularly feel their death of self-life as others do and don't even realize they are being put to a death, so they don't see the verse as...

    Can Satan speak to us audibly just like God can? Also, Satan -- False Sense of Peace/Lies

    Yes, I have heard people describe either a sense of great calm and peace or, alternatively, a sense of a lack of peace. They describe knowing whether to listen or go a certain way based on this peace of a lack of this peace. I have always experienced it somewhat differently, as a flood...

    Some read the scriptures as h inting that there will be a gathering together and then afterwArds some will listen to the 2 witnesses, and some will realize their friends or families who were gathered were telling the truth, and will come to God then. They think that those will be the persecuted...

    Stumbling over Christ

    I agree. The apostle said: if these things are yours AND ARE INCREASING, you do well. :) (my paraphrase).

    Will The Holy Spirit Remain After The Rapture?

    It depends on what "he who restrains will be taken out of the way" means, I guess. We know there will be two men preaching the gospel... And we don't know what angels will be doing to warn men to repent even at that late date...

    Can you give the verses that have led you to this belief that no men ever hear locutions?
