Ah! Here you all are! Good. A place of quiet to enjoy the beauty of our Precious Lord. But. Not to be a downer--of course I am, being too in tune with the workings of the evil one and how he easily finds little mouths to speak through--it is of course inevitable that the thread will come under attack in time from God only knows which direction. Perhaps the four winds, who knows. Until then it should be very peaceful and quiet. I am a pre-tribber, big time, so of course I hope the Lord will continue to pour down signs to keep bags packed at all times in huge buckets, as they are now pouring down almost daily. That is always good to know. As we know, all prophecy of the Bible was purely for the purpose of pointing out our way to Heaven, and the eventual rule of the Heavenly Father once again on Earth, as He did in the Garden of Eden. It is hard for me to separate the Father on the Throne from our Precious Jesus but I know Jesus separated Himself exactly and precisely in words, up to the moment He left the EArth again after the resurrection, so of course I am happy to take Him quite literally and know there are Two to look forward to. THerefore the thoughts and talk of checking out early are totally appropriate here, I think, and fit in perfectly with all prophecy concerning Isreal, and how this fits into the specific timetable that can and will only align itself once in all human time. Interestingly, 2 years before the birth of Christ, the Caesar of that time, and I want to look this up to prove it is true, declared that of all of the thousands of pagan statues and horrible animal presentations, and even Zues himself, of all those possible gods of the world, Cybele, or the mother goddess was established as the one to be given the most honor and sacrifice and direct their evil intents toward. So at that precise moment in time, perhaps, John the Baptist may have also been brought into being by the Holy Spirit, and only a matter of human months after that the Son of God would be born, to reclaim those 2,000 years. Now it works that the mother goddess again is in position to reclaim the earth, as the Son of God is set to return for good. But, quite a little plot being worked out in front of our eyes, no? Whether anyone believes it or not, it is quite obvious anyway that both are in fact happening, and even the worst of the pagans senses that the Lord might come back. It's all too hard to believe this is the same earth I was born into. It's like two planets have transmutated, and we've ended up on this one somehow. Well, have to go. Am really going to limit myself to jumping in here, and of course checking in with precious Gregor now and then on Financial.

Hi Everyone, I have read the comments on Ask God about water Baptism and I can't believe how everyone is agreeing with Emiles legalistic views. I think I am going crazy sometimes. Did the Lord say to theif on the cross lets get down and baptise you so you can enter into paradise with me today. I am not against baptism but I also do not have a right to tell God who He can save and who He can't. It is still that obsession with who has eternal life and no mention of God and His power to save whomever He wants. Satan stands before Him accusing Him and the brethren with the word of God and they are doing the same. Will a person say to God I was baptised as a baby so now I will have eternal life or are they required to be known by Him? Whatever conviction the family has for their children is what the Lord wants for them. Remember this is about personal relationship as individuals not rules. Isn't that how the Pharisees saw the OT and displeased God? Then Robert of all people has the nerve to mention circumcision as the same as baptism. So much confusion it is unbelievable. Circumcisions was the rite of entering the covenant of Abraham for the land and has nothing to do with being a follower of the Lord. Then for weeks I was told by Robert that the OT was dead so how can a major sacriment of the dead OT be applied to the New Covenant? They really draw for anything to back up what they want it to say. If a husband and wife disagree the Lord has given the man the final authority in the home over spiritual matters and this is an example of how this applies. We have to walk with God like Noah and Enoch did and it is not a formula but a constant discipline of study, prayer, and trusting. The rewards are unlimited in this life and the next. Amen!! Nancy
