    Got cancer, need prayer for healing

    Went to the doctor today. Pain has recently returned. The doctor changed my chemo schedule. He did that because the chemo reduces white blood cell count. I now get the same dose per visit, but there will be less visits. Thanks to all for your prayers!

    Finding a Christian spouse

    The important thing is to pray. I prayed for 3 1/2 years for the right spouse. We have now been married for 12 years. She is the right one. Life can be difficult. Her and I work together to meet the challenges.

    My friend found out he has cancer

    Thanks for your prayer request. I too am dealing with cancer. At first it was very scary. My wife cried and I agonized. We were both shocked. I had no medical insurance. Our regular income was early social security retirement. I had planned to work temporary industrial construction jobs to...

    Hello I think I have a problem about doctrine.

    Raggedcloth--- What you have been going thru is what a lot of people go through. A couple years ago, for example, my wife attended a Church which I knew was not good for her. I had been praying for 5 years asking God to please get her out of that Church. Then came the pandemic and in person...

    My last word on this subject is to warn all about seducing spirits in these last days. In 1st Timothy 4: 1-2, Paul warns about seducing or deceptive spirits. We will encounter them in our daily life, including on the internet. They work at Christian web sites and have seduced many. They can be...

    Wikipedia has interesting information. Everyone agrees that Darby is largely responsible for popularizing pre trib. I've heard a few different stories on where he got it from. I can not contest Wikipedia's info, but I have seen Wikipedia change their information, if it draws offence from enough...

    Pre trib rapture theory was started by John Darby from England in the 19th century. It has no scriptural attestation, only loosely drawn conclusions. It has no spiritual value.

    Hello I think I have a problem about doctrine.

    I pay no attention to Joyce Meyer. The scriptures forbid a woman to teach men in the Church. She is simply a non starter for me. Also, the mega preachers rake in the money and that is also a non starter.

    To my knowledge it has never been the position of the Catholics that there will be a rapture prior to the 2nd coming of Christ. Departure may have meant falling away to them at times in history, but it never meant rapture. Has far back as around 400 John Chrysostom quoted 2Thess 2:3 and used...

    Of course Catholics would want to translate that as if apostasy meant a departure from the Catholic Church. However, apostasy by any other name is still apostasy.

    The GIFT of Languages

    I have the gift of tongues and the gift of interpretation of tongues. If you want to say languages, that is ok, so long as you realize this is a gift of speaking in an unknown language. The language is unknown to the speaker. In some cases it may be known to some person or persons hearing the...

    Thanks for clarifying! I did not know they were using that as an excuse. It is not surprising though because of all the other twistings they use to teach a variety of false teachings.

    Hello. I took a look at the Greek and the textural variants, as well as the English translations and I am not sure what your point is. Who is misquoting the scripture here? I agree that the apostasy must come first, then the man of lawlessness will be revealed. I thought everyone knew this. So...

    Matthew 24:34 (Fig Tree Generation)

    Reading Matthew 24:3 the question asked was what is the sign of his return, the end of the age, and the destruction of the Temple. Nothing there about when Israel would be a nation again. They would ask him that question later.

    In answer to the original post, this is my understanding of the scriptures about rapture/no rapture. I find nothing in the New Testament about a Church rapture prior to the 2nd coming. Being raised up in the midst of the Southern Baptist, I heard plenty about a pre trib rapture, but never heard...

    Matthew 24:34 (Fig Tree Generation)

    He is speaking about the end of the world and the signs leading up to it. Israel becoming an independent nation is not the intended meaning.

    Who REALLY is God Almighty!

    Is there anyone in America who has not heard about Jesus Christ? If they have heard, why don't they seek him with all their heart? Of course some do. They will find him and be saved. We have a couple of neighbors who shack up together. They are older then we are, yet they live together in sin...
