Its told in the Bible that many would be persecuted and even killed.... so its nothing that we are not aware of....though of course it is disturbing. And its just the start of that which is yet to come....but faith in the Lord shall bring us to where we need to be in His comfort. Blessings to you....Rascus

joi....Thats the best and only way to take it joi.....and I am in total agreement with you on that. I was just as you one time believed in pre-trib....then went to post trib....and now I just rest in the knowledge that one day soon He will be here to claim His own......and that brings me the comfort I need......Jesus come quickly! All His love and blessings be with you........Rascus

Gary....that's a good post and Ive got a few friends who are Christians though they most likely wont change minds of what intentions they have when our present government.....which we all know to be corrupt, decides to ran rampant with the martial law and whatever else they may have planned. Though myself I believe it goes much deeper than our seen government. Regardless though Im just thankful that I am aware of who is really calling the shots or I could myself be as my friends. Once again though very good post and hopefully it may reach some of the right people who think in wrong ways.... May the Lord bless and keep you always.......Rascus

lslam may be a lot of the things that Ive heard it called....however just like any other religion I also believe that in Islam a lot of truly good people are being misled. I've tried to keep abreast of the whole 9/11 tragedy and there is just so much out there that its more than obvious some people really don't want the truth to be known and of course that makes for a real mess and tons of lies and propaganda to mislead the people. From what Ive been following of late though I do believe that it is very close to being busted wide open about who did what and why it was done and I really believe the truth is going to shock America if it comes out in truth......there have been alot of people who gave their lives to bring it this far and I really see the truth coming soon. The Lords Blessings to all always....in His name.......Rascus

Tomb ...I know its not just new people because Ive made posts and gotten replies....though its like someone already mentioned...try posting about the Lord or something scriptural and see what happens!....Rascus

Welcome aboard Tomb.....and dont feel bad....sometimes you have to really put forth a topic that someone really has interest in and you'll be surprised at the responses....then sometimes it can go the other way too. Or you might try to jump into a topic that interests you and make a few posts hope this helps you a bit along the way.....Also you might contemplate where you put your post also as that could possibly make a difference.God Bless Rascus

I guess that it all boils down to who is in control of the news media.....and I feel certain that we all know that its not ABC, Fox, CNN and etcs.....You never really see the truth in the news any longer....oh it may be truth but for sure if the powers that be dont want the people knowing something you just wont see it on the news....thats just the way it is anymore When I want the news that our media wont publish I go to alternative news sources....you may not get all of what you seek but you will find some of yours answers there. For instance a month so ago I read in an alternative news outlet about all the millions of rounds of hollow point ammuniton that was being purchased by FEMA, the Social Security Admiistration and others.....and just yesterday a story about it hit the CNN network....so why the month or so delay in reporting the story? Better yet why do these organizations need all this ammo....people need to wake up and seek out God for His answers and for His plans....in His love......Rascus Rascus

Yes Jesus is God........God the Father.....God the Son.....God The Holy Spirit! In scripture there is a verse where Jesus speaking to the Apostles I believe, where He tells them the that if they have seen Him, that they have seen the Father....what do you take out of that saying? God Bless....Rascus

Hebrews 6:4-9....This is for anyone willing to help me out with this particular verse.....as its bothered me and I really believe affected my walk forward with the Lord. I have posted on it before in other forums and I guess that the general opinion was I didn't have any understanding or knowledge of the Word as I guess you might say the answer I got was for someone to chastise me. I'm not looking for an argument or debate I really am looking for an answer. Ive been told that it don't apply to me but only to the Hebrews and then Ive been told it only concerns those in OT times who were living under the Law. I am inclined to sort of accept that however it still always lingers in my heart .....obvious or I would have long ago left it go. Anyway as you can see I'm still searching for its true meaning as it relates to Salvation and other issues. Anyway I welcome anyone else who has an opinion or wants to share what they may see it as saying and who it was addressed to. May the love and blessings of the Lord be upon you always.....Rascus

Hello....Just myself went thru about a year of the same situation and though I had a place to stay I wanted my own as its hard for a practicing Christian to live with believers that are not in obediance to Christ. I just gave all my anxeity and needs to the Lord and though it took awhile my prayers were finally answered and He found for me what I needed. So guess what Im saying is though the transition may be rocky and hard at times we must put our needs before Him.....thats what He wants for us to depend on Him for all of our needs and He will deliver! I trust you will do this and it will all come together for you....God works all good things for those who love Him. Know its not easy right now but with the Lord all will work out. May the love and blessings of the Lord be always with you!......Frank

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me...... Sarah... Im really curious now about any other way that someone could interpret the above statement any other way than what it says. Oh I can imagine a non Christian may read it another way or put another meaning to it....but it is one of the bigger statements that Christ spoke while He walked on this earth during His ministry. I believe that you can take those words He spoke exactly as thy say.....Jesus is the truth....the life and the only way to God and heaven.....He is our only mediator to reconcile us sinners with God and that also says there should be no debating that.....God does not lie! May the Lord be with you and bless you always with His love.....Rascus

Sarah...Just give it all to the Lord....for sure He will lead you with the power of the Holy Spirit.....you can never go to far in the Lord! He comes before all..... in His loving hands you will find all the comfort and strength that you need. Remember that He is the Creator of all.....so pray tell me what could be to hard for Him to work out in your life? As you grow in your walk with the Lord Jesus just have faith and trust Him and you can never go wrong or to far.....He is able to carry all that you may give Him and that's what He wants! One of His desires is that you depend upon Him for all of your needs.....for He is able and He will do what you ask of Him in faith! Many Blessings to you....Rascus

Hello Sarah.... We all struggle as Christians and I am able to relate to a lot of what you say. But I found out also that quite a bit of our trials and tribulations are caused by that master destroyer and liar Satan....yeah he just loves it when he can get into our thoughts and take our focus off of Christ which is what one of his goals is to do to all Christians. Some of it also I've found that God is testing us to see how strong we are and of the depths of our faith in Him to deliver us and He will do just that. Try not to get discouraged and always keep your eyes on Jesus and Ive found that's a great help! And remember that through our trials and tribulations comes the spiritual growth that will come and with myself it seems to be a constant battle of trials in my life as God continues his lifelong Sanctification in my life....however usually somewhere in all the struggles there comes that time of peace where the Lord comes and brings you joy and happiness....He will never give you more than you are able to handle and will always provide a way to escape from whatever it may be that challenges you. I'm enclosing something that someone sent to one time.....its called a love letter from God......and I thought maybe you might find some solace and happiness in it....I know I did and I pull it up and read it every so often. Well now I hope that things get better for....I'm sure they will.....I'll keep you in my prayers. May the love and blessings of our Lord aways be with you....Rascus Dear Child of Mine, I saw you before you were born, and I destined you for a great purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). While your mom was pregnant with you, I personally designed you with incredible detail and precision (Psalm 139:13,14). From the get-go, I planned so many amazing things for you, you could never even count them if you tried (Psalm 40:5). But I knew in advance that you would go astray and forget me, so I asked My perfect Son Jesus to take your punishment Himself (Isaiah 53:5). He was willing to be humiliated and murdered so that you could be eternally healed (Isaiah 53:5). He loved you so much that He came down to earth to show you what I'm really like (John 14:7). When you first believed in Me, I immediately accepted you into My own family (John 1:12). I forgave all your sins through My Son Jesus (1 John 2:12). And now Jesus is in Heaven with Me, preparing a place for you (John 14:2). In fact, I am living inside of you because You believe in My Son (I John 4:15). I am forever committed to you; there is no circumstance under which I will leave you or take my love away from you (Hebrews 13:5; Romans 8:38). Even when you go through the hardest trials, I will be with you and carry you through them (Isaiah 43:2). In fact, I will cause EVERYTHING to work together for your good, because you have loved me back and I have a great purpose for you (Romans 8:28). Is there anything you need right now? Ask Me. I am your Good Father and I won't give you something bad in return (Matthew 7:11). Actually, I have My own Spirit readily available to you to help you in your weakest hour (Romans 8:26). I know you get tempted to lose faith, but even when you do, I will remain faithful to you (2 Timothy 2:13). I want you to ask Me for great things, because I want to answer you (John 16:23). Take a look up at the heavens; My love for you goes even higher than that (Psalm 108:4). Don't lose heart: I want you to know that I am coming back for you (Revelation 22:12). And just remember: I AM LOVE (1 John 4:16). I am always patient, always kind. I'm never envious, proud or boastful. I'm not rude, and I only want the best for you. I don't get easily irritated with you or hold a grudge toward you. I am sad when you are hurt or wronged, but love when the truth prevails in your life. I will never stop being patient with you, never lose hope or give up on you. I WILL NEVER QUIT ON YOU (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). My love for you is everlasting (Jeremiah 31:3). Brother Jake.....just wanted to say bless you and that was a great post that you posted to Sarah......all should find something in there for themselves....I know I did......The Lord bless you always.....Rascus
