Seeking the truth

[Idiocracy'sRevenge]

Thank you for creating this site and having an open forum.

I am married with no children (sadly my wife had cancer which prohibits her from being able to bear children). Obviously, I have no sons.

I am a white male from a very religious area in Michigan. I grew up in a Christian Reformed church. My favorite verse is John 11:35.

My wife makes great apple pies and keeps a very clean home.

I wish to learn more about heaven and the rapture. Again thanks for having this forum.

Re: Seeking the truth

Welcome to the forums, Idiocracy'sRevenge. I know you'll find the fellowship here a truly wholesome experience. If I may be so intrusive to ask, what toil or labor do you do for the Lord Jesus Christ? Also, if your wife is not to bear sons, what use does she make of herself besides baking apple pies and cleaning? Praise Him that you've found a wonderful forum such as this!

P.s.
What exactly is a Christian Reformed Church? Was there something wrong with their Christianity before they reformed?

I'm an Atheist but I can already see that God hates your wife. Is she an Atheist too?

No intrusion, I promote Jesus. My wife creates an income for the household so we may live a Republican lifestyle. Praise those who accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

As for the Christian Reformed Church, I cannot speak to their prior Christianity. I do know they adher to a version of the King James Bible, but I am not sure which version.

Re: Seeking the truth

I wish to learn more about heaven.

Matthew 13:47-52 47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

I would also read Revelation 21 and Revelation 22

And welcome.

I am quite concerned about your wife's income. You have not mentioned what she does. How do you keep her in subjection if she is "working"?

Re: Seeking the truth

Welcome to God's favorite forum. My advice is to dump your wife and get a healthy young one who can bear you some sons. It's the Christian thing to do AND the Republican thing to do.

Confused? What would possibly make you think God hates my wife. If God hates my wife he must hate me too. By extension, why would God hate me?

Thank you for the great passages. Since I am new I decided to start from the beginning and opened my Bible to Genesis. I was startled to read in Chapter 2 of "the heavens". Verse 4 speaks of "heavens". I know I am going to need help with understanding this concept. Is there another heaven? I was always under the impression there is one heaven. Please help. Thanks.

I appreciate your worries but do not be concerned, my wife understands her place. I rule my home.

No, there is only one Heaven, just like when somebody says "the oceans" they are referring to the large single body of water that surrounds the continents.

Anyways, I'm sorry to hear your wife has been struck by barrenness. Do you think it might have something to do with the fact that she went to a doctor instead of relying on prayer and trusting the Lord?

"And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians." 2 Chronicles 16:12

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen." 1 Timothy 6:20-21

How do I dump my wife? Do you mean stone her? With due respect please advise.

I appreciate all of the other advice and have read the rules of this forum. Like serving Jesus, I will do my best at all times. Thanks again.

Welcome to God's favorite forum. Indeed there is only one Heaven, just as there is only one God.

Once upon a time I was confused by the following verse, but came to understand it:

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

I understand this to mean the sky above us, not Heaven where God and the saved reside. I hope that helps.

Of course you cannot divorce her. Hopefully, Jesus will see she is a bad person and will take her away so you can marry a proper, undamaged female to bear you sons. I was fortunate my first wife fell down a abandoned well.

Thanks, I see the plural is not to be taken literally. I was confused because "the earth" is singular but "the heavens" is plural. Using your example, although we have multiple oceans by name, the complete body of water surrounding the land masses (continents) is a singular connected ocean. I guess I am confused again, I used "ocean" singular when referring to this large water mass. I do not wish to debate whether there are multiple heavens. Please clarify the meaning of Genesis 2:4 so I can continue with my studies.
