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.

thank you, i did ponder at times on what "born of water" was actually refering to.

Jesus when quoted from psalms,82-6."yee are gods"the verse reads ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’ we can make anything else our god,and die.how ever if you choice a certain one your dead along with him when christ returns.

hello figure of eighty.you say " I hope God has a heart to let me in heaven" God says to you/us in romans" that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. "so we can shelve that one as done and dusted as i God said it that settles it.of to heven nd all hell cant stop us so to speak. you seem very unsettled,i do know that when i am troubled or up against a brick wall God would have us to "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.…"so sit back,relax and trust the Lord. a litle rhyme i was taught as a child may help...oh what needless pains we bear all because we do not care to take it to the Lord in prayer. God bless

very nicely put,i love to see the overview. peace

now i see, thank you.

i am curious as to why would you ask this.

He sure does speak us in many ways.

thank you.

i never knew that.thats a strong statement,please show me where i can find this written..

my coment was directed at you,oops
