Yes, and they wear clean white linen. I believe that these are those raptured seven years prior to this second coming event. It is said that were given clean white linen at the time of the Marriage Supper in Heaven. Jesus shall then rule on Earth for 1,000 years. How exciting to realize that the beginning of this phase could be nigh at hand!:):coffee:

I will wait for all that. Most importantly, I think is to live a life pleasing to God.

I've spent just yonks of time with Psychologists and their Medications. To me, in the final analysis, they try to teach you to blame others, especially your parents for everything. It seems the Christian way is to accept responsibility and ask forgiveness for our frailties. The Psychologists are quite invested in getting one into the LGBT scene. I greatly regret my becoming involved in it. How do you repent of having had surgeries that are not reversible?

No worries or fears. Just a temporary and external situation. Our bodies are like a mist or vapor that shall soon give way to a glorified body for us who are in the Lord.

2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

That is why we need The Blood. Only it can wash our souls white as snow. PTL!

Briefly, I will reveal some highly embarrassing things that I have yet to make sense of, these years afterward. I do not know if childhood abuse, or predilection made me this way. I hated men because of him, and hated being one. Years later I had a breakdown and was guided to have gender change surgery as a solution. Years, later it is clear that was no solution at all, and I regret it. We can talk if you wish.

Doesn't matter to me. I love your soul. So glad you came. You are precious in the eyes of The Father, just like in the story of the Prodigal's Son.

Isaiah 56:4-5. and Matt 19:12 is comforting to me.

There are thousands of churches who call themselves "Christian". Many of them have DRASTICALLY different beliefs. Satan has been busy!

I've been looking at some Videos made by Hutterites in Northern USA and Southern Canada. I can never be one but I enjoy what I am reading about them. They appear to have come from the same stock as the Amish and Mennonites from what I have learned so far., and live as much like them as I can hope to.

I joined the Mennonites about 20 years ago and am still with them. They have good doctrine but have unfortunately tacked on a few extras. They take great pride in their heritage and tradition, which is not a good thing (pride). They still call me an 'outsider', despite my teaching Sunday school there for 20 years. No denomination is perfect, so I will probably stay with them till the end.

Isaiah
56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

Matthew
19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

I can sort of relate to that. I never married.

I really like the Anabaptist movement and wonder what it would be like to be a Hutterite? Of course I can't but I think perhaps they are admirable.
