Re: Hello

Sooner than you expect.

I am sorry, but that doesn't answer my question.
I am very aware that the day of HIS return will be when we least expect it.


Luke 12:40:



40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.


And also Matthew 24:23-
23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.


25Behold, I have told you before.


26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not


27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.


What I was asking was why & how did you pick that date & time?

Yeager,

Truer words were never spoken regarding that you were taught in a ungodly public school system!

Your "Wall of Text" gave Jesus and I a headache, whereas the school system you were in is obviously
the cause of you not knowing when to use PARAGRAPHS!

In your horrific writing abilities, you are giving Jesus a bad name in calling yourself a Christian. Remember,
we are judged in how we present ourselves to others in the name of our Savior, therefore,
learn English writing skills for "Christ's Sake!"

Oh yeah, welcome to the forum, uh, I guess.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes is always encouraging. Before conversion all Christians are wicked, seeing no reason to avoid uncleanliness. Some sacrifice to devils, others immerse themselves in debauchery, some adhere to false teachings from false prophets or asiatic gurus or tarot cards. Anything goes! But now Jesus has chosen us, bought and paid for us, setting us free forever. There was a time before Jesus was born when different sacrifices were made. Often the Israelites, God's chosen people at the time, would pollute themselves. Idol worship, orgies, toadstool juice, homosexuality, lurking around in undersized chiffon at midnight can't you just imagine the heat of the fire the lounging figures the naked limbs

Ecclesiastes 9:1b-3d The righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live

God knew how to remind these glistening horrors just how contaminated they had become. Sometimes a prophet worked alone, sometimes there was an assistant but eventually God decided to remove His promise from the wretches so they tried to kill Him.

Ecclesiastes 9:4b a living dog is better than a dead lion

God survived. Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven, alive, as has been confirmed by multiple witnesses. He is there now. And that is why I find Ecclesiastes so helpful, reminding me that even before we learned about Jesus we were not alone. Eventually we all succumbed to pollution from Adam but a path back to life has come alike to all even though most people reject Christ's offer and stick with the orgies. Christians never think about this stuff but heathens, the goths and emo's and wiccans, they never seem to think about anything else. I suppose it's all they have.

I personally find the book of Isaiah encouraging & comforting.

Re: Edit: Hello

Very good choice indeed! Here are some of my most favorite encouraging and comforting verses in this book:

Isaiah 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Isaiah 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

Praise ! Because if we don't, He will cast us to !

Re: Hello

the ignorance of the people around is just down right frustrating

Do you work in an environment where others can see your screen? I find an appropriate verse displayed where people will notice is a great way to witness, after all it's by reading The Bible we learn what God's expectations are.

Many people claim to know about Jesus but really are quite ignorant. There's only one way to remedy that: reading what He has preserved for us in The Bible. Only then will they appreciate what His love means for us and indeed for the whole world.

I have already said I am a drywaller. I install the main part of the walls. I work in an environment where screens will most likely be broken in a few days at most.

Oh I think you and I will be very good friends! I am also working on a wall. The most beautiful and big of all them walls. THE WALL.

Your experience will be much appreciated around here. Can we share wall building tips?


Thanks a lot,

Re: Hello

I think those dry walls look lovely, especially the old ones. But I can't see how a screen would get broken unless you were throwing the rocks about. Surely there's breaks for food and stuff? That would be an opportunity to witness for Christ.

Just imagine going through life without ever hearing The Good News, the best news ever, that Jesus was born of a woman and killed so horribly just so our sins could be forgiven. What if your fellow wall maker got hit by a train or fell off a cliff on the way home tonight? Hell is guaranteed by The Bible for everyone who rejects God's Plan for Salvation. Just think how exciting it will be if even one of them turns to Christ right there in the workplace because He used your witness!

There seems to be stretched string involved, possibly plumblines; these would be great places to hang messages about Jesus and The Bible. Maybe some texts or illustrations of what happens to sinners who turn away from The Lord? Remember that He is there with you.

Amos 7:7 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
