    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...

    Praise God for that testimony. God is always right on time and He is never late. God is good! All the time! and all the time God is good.

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    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...

    All I know is that situation must be every speaker's nightmare or fear. Especially using the men's room.

    can you guys post something funny please?

    Good question. This was back in the mid 1990's and I do not know a single thing about sound tech. I do know that at that time that sound board was brand new and a team from Nashville, TN had installed the thing professionally. So it wasn't cheap at all.

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    This is a great response. You sound like what the New Testament calls "A good Berean.". The Bereans were ancient people of "The Word."

    Her parents were injured in a Tesla crash. She ended up having to pay Tesla damages

    What is the source of this story and can they prove this? I am asking because it is imperative when you name big companies like this that you have proof or they sue you for defamation. Plus this does not tell all of the details. What was she able to actually prove in a court of law. You have to...

    God protected me from possible harm or death.

    I considder myself the most blessed man to have married a wonderful daughter of Zion who prays a LOT! The woman prays endlessly especially for me. Little did I know that this would prove vital a few short years back when I encountered a man with a gun. Here is the full story. Buckle up because...

    can you guys post something funny please?

    I have a very funny story for you that happened at a church way back during the 1990's while I was in the Military stationed close to where this church was. The church had approximately close to some 300 to 400 people per Sunday. We had a full band and worship team. We also had wonderful ladies...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    YEA I see what you mean because my relative will read over my shoulder and abruptly correct me AS I am writing totally interrupting my entire train of thought making it almost impossible to get an idea even in rough form out there. I don't believe you're like she is.

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    Great post. I licked what you said. The study of hermeneutics isn't one I even knew about until the late 2000's and I had to attend bible school in order to even have heard the term. Then when I got into it I thought it was the most drug out boring study there was. Of course, I did not come from...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    Thats funny because I kind of think that the music we will hear in Heaven will be unlike anything we have ever HEARD hereon Earth in the most fantastic way imaginable. Could you imagine SOUND that energizes ever cell and organism in the body. Sound that genuinely breathes LIFE into every being...

    Crumbling marriage

    Hello VictorianJesus, I will pray for you all. I thank you for having the courage to ask for help and advice. That took a lot of courage on your part and tells me a lot about you already. First, you're not willing to just simply give up. I sense you are will to contend for what God gave you...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    You remind me of a family member I have I nicknamed "The spelling Gestapo". She's rather persnickety about proper grammar. I do not mean to offend anyone. I simply relax when I am writing. I do not think in terms of English mechanics or proper grammar. I only mean to write and get thoughts out...

    The Rapture of the church, REAL or NOT REAL?

    While I agree with you 100% I also believe God does speak through dreams and visions as well.
