    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    I remember the scriptures speaking highly of the Bereans and in churches, if you were a knowledgable person of the bible they would often say, "You are a good Berean."

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    Your warning reminds me of a rather comical thing that happened. I was at church in Wasilla, Alaska in the fellowship hall. It was after church and people had prepared food for all of us to enjoy and have fellowship after church. As a backdrop to understanding why this is kind of funny, My...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    Thank you for the response. By "The Fall of Israel I am assuming you mean what happened in 70AD? One historical account reads; "Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War. The Romans besieged the city for months, eventually breaching the city's defenses and...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    Musicmaster, First off, welcome! I feel so honored that someone from the land of the bible would join in. Wow! What an honor sir! A few years ago I wanted to get to know Israeli people without having to go through the expense, as it is quite expensive, to travel from here in the USA to Israel...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    Thank you for commenting. Ya know, I believe that the subject of there being a rapture or not being a rapture is not one for contention really. I mean whats the worst that could happen if you don't believe in a rapture? Ya get raptured and we all wind up THERE with the Lord anyhow. Hmm, so to me...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    "Smiling". I am glad I could make you laugh. Do you have an opinion on the idea or viewpoint of there being a rapture or there being no such a thing as a rapture? Why or why not? What do you think?

    Medicines Demonic or a help? HMM

    The do's and don'ts are aspects or fruits of our faith and love walk with the Lord as He said in His word.; "If you love me obey my commands." That does not mean we are any more or less saved. It pertains to loving God and the way He gave us to express that love to Him. In that He even said we...

    Medicines Demonic or a help? HMM

    You make a great point because I never heard those things from the Lord in my heart. He never said anything to me about it. I know faith-filled, Holy Ghost-filled believers walking with Christ who are on medications. Some of them are on a lot of them pertaining to their medical condition and...

    Medicines Demonic or a help? HMM

    The other day I overheard what was probably THE strangest belief I ever heard of when it comes to medicines and anything that comes from a pharmacy. It sounded like they were attempting to state that all pharmacy was demonic and we should never take a single pill for any ailment. I scratched my...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    I think there is a lesson in this about being careful what you say in order that should you say something flippant, it does not come back to bite you later on or offend others. In other words, say you grow more over the years but what you said now still lingers and judgemental types did it up...

    BLOODGOOD!

    I have listened to Bloodgood since the 1980's. The played to sold-out shows and were considered among the earliest metal missionaries ever! Sadly, a couple of years ago we lost a true warrior of the faith. R.I.P. Michael Bloodgood. You are sorely missed, brother!

    Church only opens doors on Sunday.

    I am not sure where you get that every church has the same times. NOPE! Not hardly. The church I attend meets Sunday afternoon at 3 PM. YUP! A time when most churches are closed. Plus, we are a rather small congregation so we have to rent meeting halls and sometimes the hall gets rented before...

    How Did Your Spiritual Journey Begin?

    My conversion was a bit more dramatic. I was raised in a military family. No I do not mean my dad and a relative were vets, I mean like my entire family almost all of them served. 2 grandfathers that fought against Hitler. One of them who hated General Patton. An uncle who was Marine Recon in...

    OK so if I decide to delete my account and simply move on, will this eliminate the threads I have posted. If that is what I must do to satisfy these people then ok, they win the hill.

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    Does anyone know where I can go to enter back in and redo this post so that these nit-picking tongue lashers will finally stop scrutinizing what I post and shut the crud UP? I am a military VET and don't put up with this even in my own family. I appreciate the attempted help but good grief...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    That point is well taken. The strange thing was that as I read this I remembered how Hebrew text in the Torah is arranged and how there are no paragraphs and they read from right to left. Back when I first encountered Hebrew text in it's true form, I had such a hard time comprehending how to...
