Are You Sure You Don't Want To Be Left Behind?

Jesus contrasted sinners from saints in the account of who was taken in Noah's day. Nothing about the rapture is mentioned in Noah's account by Jesus. People have incorrectly assumed He did, and this is the point of this thread, I believe.

My thoughts, anwyay.

Well, I always read your thoughts with interest!

not going to have a true picture in which the jury can decide fairly.

it to resemble that pretty picture on the box it came in.

It has always concerned me about that brother in South Texas that

put out a booklet on prophesy, and presented some of these same

questions. If I understood correctly it was made available to all of

the apostolic brethren in the UPC plus other apostolic ministers, as

the number mailed out was more that all the ministry in the UPC. It

was told that it cost almost one hundred thousand dollars to put out

and was done at the expense of this brother and the church he

pastored or pastors. If I understood correctly, he is no longer in the

UPC. When we kick out something that is presented as truth without

knowing of a surety that it is error, how many souls can be expect to

be accountable for. Why would anyone want to (and I don't think this

was a huge church) spend that much money to promote something

they didn't feel was truth.

I know my late father and mother and the church they founded

(beginning with their own family of eleven children, the youngest

being less than one year at the time) sacrificed like you wouldn't

believe, to MAKE SURE the truths they had found and obeyed was

not hindered. If you want to make sure your family is safe, CONNECT

with GOD (Spirit) and take care of your own. Let God lead you and

direct you into ALL TRUTH. His Word says He will. If you will, I will,

Why did Noah spend 120 years building an Ark when he had never

seen it rain. Were there any naysayers discouraging him. WHO did HE

CHOOSE to believe! Man or GOD!!! Why did Noah build the Ark. To

the saving of his OWN house. IF you're own believe and follow you,

someone must have done a pretty good job raising them.

This is not to condemn anyone but to say that we had better be

willing to listen to ALL the evidence IF WE are going to be making

the decisions of whether an issue is heresy or not. Could that man

of sin, spoken of in II Thess., be men, standing in the temple,

making decisions as if they were speaking for God, when it is possi-

ble it is not God at all. Making decisions about things they do not

even understand but because of position, are able to do so. It is a

fearful thing to fall into the HANDS of a LIVING GOD!

I am a simple saint and the generation I grew up in was called

"The Silent Generation". Be quiet, listen and learn. Don't ask so

many questions! You weren't allowed to ask many questions.

Then came the generation to question most everything. So

in time I came to realize it is better to listen and learn, so that

when the questions do start, we'll have an answer or at least

be open enough to investigate it and search it out. This should

always be done in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

Again, not to be offensive, but to provoke to honest thought!

I really enjoy most of Falla39s posts, and the content of most are great.
but when they are formatted like this I cant even read them.
After about the fifth line it all blurs/blends together and becomes one long undefinable and very choppy paragraph.

Hopefully it is not rude or unreasonable to ask if they can be posted in a more eyeball friendly way? Am I the only one that finds this form of posting a bit hard to read? Some people have problems with the bright crazy colors and some can't deal with the multi colored posts. Am I the only one who has issues with the loooong posts that have no paragraph breaks and things like this one?

Bro./Sis. BeNme,

Is that better! I welcome constructive criticism and am glad to

make my posts more reader/friendly. However, it is possible that

you have no knowledge of what I am saying in some of my posts.

In that case I do not apologize. I would just say, carry on, go to

the next post. Like I said on another thread. We are living in a day

of impatience, fast food, attention deficiency, etc. I know people

who can't read read thirty minutes in the Word of God, but can

read a paperback for hours or watch a program for hours.


I am not saying this is your case at all. But I noticed you mentioned

you enjoyed most of my posts, and the CONTENT of most are great.

And the format and undefinable paragraph and the word choppy was

mentioned.

Was there a particular vein I hit that wasn't to your liking. If I am

mistaken, I apologize. Only you and God know the motive. And once

again I don't mind constructive criticism. If we can't receive that kind

of criticism, we don't need to be on a forum like this.

Blessings,

Falla39

Sister-(I think)

Actually, your posts are a little difficult to read for me as well. I don't think it is content, I can read posts that I disagree with as well as posts that I do. I think it is more of a style issue.

Yes, they are hard to read with a space between each line. No offense intended!

Falla, can you remove the spaces and allow the type to continue past a certain mark? It appears you hit the ENTER key at a certain point, like the old typewriters, when that is not necessary. The lines continue below automatically without hitting the ENTER key. Sometimes folks who used the old typewriters do this with computers, which may or may not be the case here. My mother did this all the time with a computer.

Bro. Blume,

I am not offended at all. When I first started posting...finally after lurking

forever, a brother told me that the lines ran together and needed to be

doubled spaced. Now you say just the opposite so how am I to know what

to do. Maybe I'll figure it out. LOL! Some are seniors like myself, so we may

need the double space, but then what about the others that can't read

with it! Pray for me, please!!!

No problem, but the lines are also SHORTENED. Do you know why that is happening?

a brother told me that the lines ran together and needed to be doubled spaced. Now you say just the opposite so how am I to know what to do.

(By the way, everyone else has no double spaces, so I would do the same). lol

Here is how I would type your words above:

lol I agree. I think he must be doing them first in word or something and then pasting it

Falla39-
I hope you won't think anyone has an issue with what you post. No, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say your posts are some of the most enjoyable on the forum. You are that liitle patch of blue sky on a rainy day that we all hope to see, and continue to see. Just know this- you and your thoughts are loved and appreciated!

[Brother Price]

Left behind, left in front, it matters to me only to be ready folks. Too many people are focusing on the end times, while forgetting that we are living in the here and now, and desperately need to focus more on the lost.

Lord, help us to see the need now, to prepare us to meet You then.
