MissMuffet, when you say the RAPTURE, do you mean the 2nd coming of Jesus when He takes those the Christians to heaven?

https://www.christianpost.com/news/texas-declares-trans-surgeries-for-minors-child-abuse.html It absolutely is Child Abuse! And those performing these horrendous surgeries should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

Just imagine the devastation...imagine how many families will be destroyed....how many people will be seriously injured.....most of us have never experienced anything like this... https://www.christianpost.com/news/thousands-feared-dead-after-massive-earthquake-hits-haiti.html As we get closer to the return of Jesus, more and more of these natural disasters are going to happen...

Thanks for sharing, Chicken Coop :). Please don't take me wrong, I know CCV is REAL and that people are dying. Our youngest daughter, the one we babysit the 2 babies for, is a traveling RN and she went to NYC for 13 weeks and worked with Corona patients the whole time. She was actually stationed in Harlem. She said that many people died unnecessarily there because the Doctors and Nurses at that hospital didn't do their job and didn't care for the patients.....her supervisor told her the hospital should have been shut down, it was so bad. And from everything I have seen and read, for the MOST PART, those who are dying are those who are overweight and have other health issues. Yes, there are a few people who appear to be in good shape, not making it. She took care of a Tri-Athalon person, who didn't make it. But those are the exception to the rule. If more time were spent on educating and encouraging people to eat healthier, quit smoking, drinking and losing weight, MANY LIVES would be saved. Not only would they not die from CCV but they wouldn't die from heart attacks, strokes and cancer, either!

Yes, I'm pretty sure in the Bible story, Moses said that the Lord would do a NEW THING...the earthquake

And that is a really good motive :). I'm SURE that not everyone is afraid to die, many think just like you...but there are many who think the other way, too. I doubt very much that you are one of those who is afraid to be around those of us who are not vaccinated.

It seems when it comes to Chinese Corona Virus, and the two opposing sides MASK/VACCINE or NO MASK/NO VACCINE, that there is far more of a tendency for those on the MASK/VACCINE side to CUT OFF those who don't stand with them. That seems ironic to me. If you wear the mask and are vaccinated and trust the FDA, seems as you ought to relax, and not be afraid of those who do not wear a mask and who are not vaccinated. If I really believed in the MASK/VACCINE, I would hope I wouldn't worry about others who didn't wear it or were not vaccinated. I don't believe in them, so I don't wear it and will never be vaccinated. I also think it comes down to the fact that many are just plain afraid to die. The fear of death overwhelms them, and causes them to cut off friends and family who they really love, rather than take a chance they might catch CCV from them. As Christians, we shouldn't be afraid to die...we are all going to die at some point, unless Jesus returns first....and I'm sure not going to be wearing a mask the rest of my life!

That is so true

Dathan & Abiram didn't want to accept their fate. Because of their rebellion and refusing to stand with Caleb and Joshua and lead the people up to take Canaan, they, along with all the rest of the adults over 20, were consigned to die in the Wilderness. So, rather than REPENT and ACCEPT their punishment, they concoct a CONSPIRACY THEORY and tell the people that Moses, NOT GOD, led the Israelites out of Egypt (notice how they here call EGYPT the "land that flowery with milk and honey") and that Moses' plan was to enrich himself from them! It wasn't long until God Himself let it be known that Korah, Dathan & Abiram were on the wrong side, and swallowed them up with the first earthquake ever Amazing how blind humans can be if they do not want to accept the TRUTH. I love reading these Old Testament stories and learning the lessons they have for me....

Amen!

If we would just put this into practice.... how much stronger we would become from the trials of life.... Knowing that God allows trials, to STRENGTHEN us....to get us ready for the BIGGER trials that are soon to come upon us!

I agree, like profit from owning a BAR or a STRIP CLUB or any other sinful business....that money is DIRTY $....God doesn't want it. But I think think you are playing with fire.... You seem to clearly KNOW that gambling is wrong and Christians shouldn't have anything to do with it.... God tells us ~

Thank you, Appy. You are right! I was talking with a customer this week about this and she said a couple weeks ago, she was driving on the interstate in Cleveland, OH, and like 40-50 of these bikers went by her, all doing stunts.... I always told my kids, if you are going to die early, do it risking something for the Lord...not showing off! My husband and I had friends years ago who smuggled Bibles into Communist Countries....that is something work risking your life for.

You can say that again

I'm afraid that there is as much division on this subject amongst Christians and here on this site as anywhere else you might go. I agree with a poster a couple pages back who said to not compromise your conscience. Personally, I will NEVER take this vaccine...they will literally have to hog tie me, first. All my girls, 3 daughters/1 daughter in law are all in the medical field....and all tell me the same thing...this whole thing is over blown.... And since when do we offer lotteries to get people to take a vaccine? or offer them a college scholarship to get them to take a vaccine? Many issues are ALREADY showing up....give it a couple years and there will be MANY MORE ISSUES. I believe it's all about POPULATION CONTROL.

Coffee: 1. raises your blood pressure 2. is a major cause of depression 3. flushes calcium out of the bones and causes osteoporosis 4. causes ulcers & hiatal hernias 5. is addictive....it's a drug, same as street drugs 6. is a factor in breast cancer as well as prostate cancer. 7. NOTHING good about it, except the smell

I believe that as Christians, when we are convicted that something is unhealthy for us, we should give it up.

I've never even tasted coffee or tea. I drink Dandy Blend for a hot drink.... Before I was 13, I ate chocolate, but after reading a really good book at age 13, I gave up all dairy products, sugar and chocolate (I already was a vegetarian, had been one all my life.) I use CAROB instead of chocolate :).

The young man's father was already dead...the grandparents are all dead....all the mother had was this son...

If we really believe our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, we wouldn't be using ANY of those things you listed, MissMuffet.

I don't believe that alcohol/drugs and Christianity mix.

We are 800 feet off the road and have 7 acres here.

I understand...sadly, you would think at 18, people would think more clear....but alcohol was a factor...and even those with common sense normally, sometimes lose it when they drink. Just very sad.

We can hope for the best, but there was nothing in his life that would give you the hint that he was a follower of Jesus. My understanding is that a person MUST REPENT...to be SAVED. Thankfully, it's not our decision....I trust God that He knows our hearts and He wants to save as many as possible....and if there is a way to save this young man, He will do it.
