Subject: Why can we not just be Christians? |
Bible Note: Your words, dear soul, are more meaningful than the average reader could possibly see. Should civilization choose to concentrate, and act on them, as they do things of so little consequence, mankind would come closer to Him. I do not believe it will ever happen though. I would love to see someone produce a scripturally founded statement contrary to this thought. Not one interpreted as such, "a scripturally founded statement contrary to this thought..." The Rapture will come, (Come soon Dear Lord!) then the awful times of Tribulation, the Armageddon, and finally, the Millennium. Then, and only then do I believe such desires as what we have noted, can come to pass. No more could they come to pass in this generation, than in that of Noah, or of Sodom and Gomorrah. No doubt, the flood was the end of evil, in the day of Noah, fire and brimstone in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Rapture will be the end of this day. (Come soon Dear Lord!) In His Name. |
