I question religion all the time. Religion is man made ideas and traditions based on what they think God wants us to do.
However, having Gods word at my finger tips, I don't need to ask "what if" I just need to read. The answers are there, He said they were.
I just found out my salary is paid mainly through atheist donors!!!! I can't even explain how I feel about that. I was out of work for over 2 years, I don't want to quit now that I have a job.
(Another sign of the endtimes!)
raptureshoes says:
another thing that is different for me: I still laugh and find things silly, but I cannot tell you the last time something really cracked me up - side-splitting gut buster laughing. Anyone else?
Steve53:
I too find less and less things humorous to the point of being "side splitting" funny. Everything for me these last few years has been tinged with an otherworldly awareness that's keeping me grounded and constantly looking beyond what's before me.
Does that make sense?
(Wiccans in the Military)
I feel this is a devastating blow to the core of who and what America used to stand for. I would rather die at the hand of terrorist or enemies than to be protected or represented by pagans. In the Old Testament did God's make armies full of devil worshipers prosper and defeat the enemy? Uh, no. So then why do we think it is okay and that God will continue to protect and make us victorious if we are allowing open worship of false gods? That's like setting up an idol of Baal right next to the temple of God. Do you think He is going to stand by quietly? As you can tell, I am furious.
(how atheists will react to the rapture)
The Bible tell us that God will send them strong delusion.
Some speculate that this could be an encounter with UFOs. Others have said that the New Agers have called for "assigning the christians to another dimension" so the New Age can be ushered in.
But whatever the delusion, many will listen and say, ahhhh, o.k., now I see what happened, and then go about their business.
My theory, is that the non believers, who have been unable to prove physical evolution, will say that there has been a quantum leap in spiritual evolution and the undesirables and weakest links have been removed and they are left on the planet as the superior of the species.
["My Family is 1/2 Christian, 1/2 Atheist. Holidays are awful!"]
I would love to just not invite the non-Christians and have a pleasant day that is dedicated to Jesus, family and spending quality time with the people I love.
I keep feeling like I have to tell everyone Jesus is coming.. Even when it will embarrass the heck out of me.. like to family members...
Just yesterday I called my brother and was trying so hard to talk to him.. I was failing in a big way... I was shaking and my jaw was shaking so much I could not hardly talk..
The strange things is that he and his wife attend church all the time and their family in in church 3 times a week..
I finally just came out with it.. I've no clue how come I was struggling so hard.. It was the oddest thing I've felt in over three years.. I mean I've been emotional before.. But to be almost unable to speak and shaking and fumbling all over my words... it was pretty strange..
I 'm sure it was the holy spirit working through me.. that was a tough battle for me to fight... God won though.... hehe as if he wouldn't lol
How can you say this when it is impossible to 'observe' time slowing down in relation to acceleration as velocity approches C? There IS no 'observed evidence' to cooroborate Einstein's theory, just speculation and mathematical equations.
Even better, billions of billions of times better than having Trump sworn in, would be the Rapture occuring with Trump and family coming with us!!
The Theory of [Atheistic] Evolution says that when the earth was volcanically active after being formed, life (the first simple cell) was synthesized from various non-living building blocks. However, the problem here is that non-living matter cannot produce living organisms. This invalidates any evolution in any definition past present or future.
In the 60s they told us to stop having children so we could control the population. We did. And what happened? They opened the borders to anyone who wanted to come here and they took the place of the children we didn't have. The third world doesn't care about population control and we get all the spillover from them. Don't talk to us about population control.
The homosexual community held out great hopes for such research... They have been severely disappointed. They have made great inroads however into making it true in the (uninformed) minds of the masses. Yet they actually have no proof of such a condition.
But on the way back to the motel, the kids did not fall asleep as we expected. They kept chattering incessently... they kept saying the word 'motel'... everytime they said it, I got butterflies in my stomach... We decided the Lord was trying to communicate something to us, so we... ended up paying the 150 for that nice hotel in the city. I don't know what the Lord saved us from. But we are convinced that He most likely saved our lives that night.
[...] When one gets up on a high horse, something will come along to knock you off of it. It reminds me of the time my then 17 year old was taunting God. He was sitting at our kitchen table and we were having a discussion about God. We were teaching him about attitude and warning him that if he didn't straighten up that God would step in. He said "bring it on". We were wide eyed and said you have no idea what you are talking about. That night skiing he broke in arm so badly they had to ambulance him to the hospital for emergency surgery and put pins in his bones to hold it together. The next day he apologized to us and to God for his attitude and he is now married, 24 and just finished bible college and is a pastor. [...]
All these books and programs do is make whichcraft look fun, and that there is nothing wrong with it, they are just glorifying it. Why would they take a terrible sin like that and make it look like it isnt that bad? Next they will be making shows with homosexual 5 year olds, but everyone will think it is ok, because the main homosexual character is fighting evil...
You just can't accept it because you have too much pride to possibly conceive that the Bible may be right, and evolutionists have been wrong all this time...
I don't believe in donating your organs, etc to save a life. I might get shot here.. but I think sometimes humans tend to play God. If it is our time to go... then we should go. I know my opinion is probably one that would be classified in left field... but I don't think it is right to donate an eye, heart, lung, kidney, etc... call me selfish... but I came in the world with what God gave me.. and I'm going out with what He gave me.
I sure hope the 'artist' is really enjoying his/her self because one day they're going to stand in front of the Ancient of Days, the holder of their soul, and on that day their 'sincere artistic reasons' won't get them very far.
I have to confess that I am finding it very hard to seperate my feeling of disdain or disappointment for this Presidency from the fact that he is the first black American to be elected.
While I do think it's an absolutely wonderful thing that he is I am having a very hard time with this. I feel badly about it but I have to be honest. It's not a racial thing because if it was a conservative with whom I share moral views I would feel the joy. I am almost ashamed of myself but I firmly believe that Barack is Godless. I guess I'm sadder for my country than I am happy for blacks.
Am I alone in this??
[Scientists create sperm in laboratory]
I've done some research before. not on this per-sey... but i dont think they will be considered 'human', they might not even be human.
they might not even act human, think like humans or anything. they might have to be 'programmed' like 'clones'. they might not even have souls!
When you find your boyfriend and have been with him for a while, and you decide that you do really really want to have sex with him before you marry, just remember this, if he will sleep with you before you are married then he would sleep with anyone.
(Is watching the Wizard of Oz sinful?)
Well, it is an occult and blasphemous movie. Oz being the occult view of the Judeo/Christian God...
Sure sounds like the Wiccan 'power of three' to me. And no one can say it's purely coincidental, since shows like 'Charmed' (which emphasize the above number of witches as being 'effective') make that highly unlikely.
My 16 year old son Raymond:
He was playing a video game for 2 weeks straight trying to beat it and finish. It was all he had been doing, and was right on with it every chance he got.
then I heard him in there throwing a fit! I walked in there to find him hitting the disk with a screwdriver, a hammer, and trying to tear it apart! I asked him what in the world are you doing???! He said, "momma--this game is not worth throwing in the trash whole. it asked me to pray to a god. it wanted me to bow and worship a god..... Im going to go outside and burn this thing!" strangely, I was proud of him for this.
Here we go again. You know that evolutionists don't even have the most basic answers for any of those questions. Nobody never saw a chicken come from an elephant and to say such is just retarded. Evolutionists basically have a neat little theory that contains a few facts (i.e. that there are different kinds), but ignores all the evidence for a young universe and a global flood.
Furthermore, how does something come from nothing? Case closed, we need to stop this nonsense funding of education is all it does is say this type of stuff. At my prayer group, I was told that there are countless creation scientists that are looking to prove that the world come to be the way the LORD said it, but they can't get the funding because the money always goes to the evolutionists. How scientific is that?
We have all the facts, we knew them at the beginning - and we find more and more facts that confirm the living truth. The stupid evolutionists start out by looking at facts without any idea what the outcome is - and that's how you get these weird evolution and big bang ideas. Basically, they want this theory so they can get rid of the LORD so that they can live out their life doing all their wicked sins
I began flipping through the channels... and came across a show on one of the major networks that was similar to Saturday Night Live. The skit they were showing was mocking a Christian show (something similar to what you might see on TBN)... The children were smiling so sweetly as they sang how they didn't believe in God. It made me sick.
Does God listen when catholics pray?
THe reason I ask this is that a co-worker's father has just recently been diagnosed with cancer (they are very catholic). The doctor's didn't know how bad it was until further testing could be done. Just today this co-worker said that the doctors say that the prognosis looks good. When she was telling us she said "thank you everyone for all of your prayers". She was telling this to me and two other girls. The two other girls are Catholic, I am the only saved Christian.
So I feel like the only prayer that counted was mine and that God doesn't even listen to their prayers. Could that be so or am I sounding a bit arrogant to even think that?
{Discussing age of fossilized remains of dinosaur tail)
72 million? They came by that based on.... Carbon-14? Nope, too short a half-life.... DNA? Nope that would be gone too... Oh wait! I got it! Time travel!
About five years ago, I awoke to a very loud noise; it was one long roaring tone like a trumpet. I was so sure it was the rapture, I started pleading "please Lord, take me".
But it was the fire department across the street: they sometimes blow thier horn when they are backing the firetruck into the garage.
oh ok. i just never heard a hospital ask me my religion. i thought they would persecute me once i got there. ok im ok now. god bless thanks all
In short, if there is no hell, then Jesus lied. Jesus is God. God cannot lie. Jesus cannot lie. Hell exists. Enough said.
I have always believed that anyone who worships Islam/Muslims
should be deported from this country. Look at all the countries who have been open to Islam - Bosnia, India, Great Britian, all the AFrican countries - you have nothing but civil war, mayhem and murder once these muslims become significant numbers in your country.
Hey, all!
I am REALLY struggling with this -- it seems as if (practically) over night, many of my "Christian" friends and family have come to conclusion that "peace, acceptance and love of/for everyone" is the right way to eternal life. Suddenly, I'm hearing things like, "Everyone goes to Heaven" and "Muslims and Christians can work together to bring peace."
I don't know what is going on, but I need to speak up and speak out. Can ya'll help?
Most dragons are simply embellished dinosaurs. Did you know King Arthur was real? Yep, he was a minor king in scandanavia at the begining of that era. With time, he grew into this great King of Brittian. Same with dragons. they were real, but the tales were embellished on to get the fanciful creatures we see from hollywood.
I need to find me a HUGE nativity scene and LOTS of red and green lights -- and a banner saying JESUS is the reason for the season -- and put it in my front yard!! Yeah come and take it off my property.. I dare ya big brother!!
The very foundation of science has been established by Christians. Some never even heard of evolution. I find more brainwashing and defensive thoughts in the secular scientists then in the creation scientists. Why don't evolutionists want the holes in the theory taught in public schools?
['Anyone here ever have a panic attack thinking they have missed the rapture?']
I definitely have. I have actually called my daughter to make sure she was still here as she is the most righteous person I know. The thought of missing the rapture because of unrepentent sin or because I have let my relationship with Jesus slide terrifies me.
What more evidence do you need than the BIBLE?
Atheism is the ultimate oxymoron.
The atheist says....
Quote:
I don't believe in GOD and I hate HIM.
And that is a true sign of a confused mind using confused thought processes. Until they can learn to think in a logical manner they won't see themselves for what they are, very angry and confused people.
Several prophecy writers assume that all (or most) children will be raptured. I'm unfamiliar with any scripture that speaks to this. Could anyone enlighten me?
As a Mom I definitely want to trust God on this subject, but every once and awhile it creeps into the back of my mind. I know it's just Satan trying to distract me from proper focus.
I think radical feminism may be the worst ideology an America today. It is VERY anti-family and encourages lesbianism.
A few days ago, I looked out my window and saw what looked like to me angel-shaped clouds floating across the sky. There seemed to be several. Wonder if the Lord is still sending us messages of hope that His return is imminent, and that we'll see Him sooner than we think?
That's your problem. Evolution cannot exist if there is a master designer God.
Sex is a sin... Skiing is deffinetly not... To even compare skiing and sex is rationalization to the absurd level.
Evolution is a disgrace

I'm tired of my son being taught that we came from monkeys in school. There's a pile of bricks in my backyard and I don't see it turning into a shed anytime soon! It really bothers that just because I can't afford to put him in a nice christian school, I have to have him endure all the nonsense being taught in public school!
The Bible plainly states where every living creature came from, and something should be done about the way it is ignored in today's teaching.
If Darwin was correct in his assesment of the development of life, why do humans need clothes?
A few weeks ago a mans cell phone went off during the most critical part of the invitation. It may have distracted someone who was about to make a decision. I felt sorry for the guy, but his carelessness could have very well cost someone their soul.
BTW, when it comes to the "Merry Christmas" thing .... I don't even want non-believers saying it because they don't recognize Christ as the savior anyway. It sorta kinda comes close to taking the Lord's name in vain ... not quite though as I don't want to put too much importance on a word like "Christmas".
For the last couple months I've been going back and forth doing my best to witness to mormons on various sites. Feel like I have gotten NO WHERE! Is it just me? I wonder if Jesus felt this way when dealing with the Pharisees. They have this certain arrogance where they have all the answers and would rather follow blindly then to listen to any common sence.
But simply reproducing lowers that originsm's chance of survival by increasing competition. So natural selection would favor those things that did not reproduce and therefore did not create competition for survival.
