asleep in christ awaiting the return that is.

i find what yorclosestfriend has posted to be true to scripture. take another look, its not a fairy tale. in john 14v6 Jesus said" no one can come to the father but by me" . and when we believers die we go to be with him,

well spoken. and so true.

well spoken, one needs and indeed should heed this edification.

heres something to thick on in Gen 3v19.. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return."

a nice uplifting post .well explained. bless..

will sit back and think on that for a while, i hadnt seen it before.

true though that is i find that a bit hard nosed, . not the sort of way i would present it to a newborn anyway. i am a simple believer ,and find the or else almost a fear trip

nicely put,i was just thinking about that.

there is nothing that will send a believer to hell,we are heaven bound.as for myself i find that halloween makes light of the darker realm.

halloween,not my scene.you enjoy.

bings to mind Colossians,in chapter two. verse 16..Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17, Which are a shadow of things to come; verse 20..Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21,(Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? i do understand the concern of some towards others,it is good not to be a stumbling block.

i disagre.the baptism that john preached was looking forwards to jesus.now past tense..we are baptised with the Holy Spirit now.

we have all severn gifts available within us at the knew birth,it is the Lord within us that manifests them.as we believe to operate them in our lives they will appear.

very nicely put.a lovely explanation.
