If you're on the straight and narrow like you say you are - I'd think you'd be welcoming it.

Cause I'm not worried about just me. If that were the case, the gospel wouldn't need to be preached or the fact there is sssooo much reference and warnings of endtimes and its deception. Most are ignoring it with a "hey...I'm ok...who cares about everyone else." I do welcome it, but since I am not a rapture believer....I not exactly sure how it will come about, but I think if I had been Noah on that Ark when God shut the doors, and had to listen to the screams of the people beating on it to get in.....cause you know they were, they watched him build it for 40 yrs. and mocked and made fun of him. Rain had never fell from the sky, they mocked him for saying it would. I don't want to hear what Noah must of heard in those screams for help and I have said nothing. Noah preached for 40 yrs. with zero success, I should be just as tenatious. Don't you think?

Well, then you've got a couple of problems! First, when seeking to lead others to Jesus we should be loving and open.

Secondly, you distort the Bible and it's teachings. Example: get out of churches - The Bible says: 1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” Just because you had a bad experience attending a church doesn't mean everyone else is bound for Hell for going.

Third, you are hypocritical. Like I said, you've spent time on this thread denouncing Catholics for their paganism while at the same time subscribing to some of their views.

Yes, you sound a bit nutty. We all have dreams - I've had a couple of dreams about Orlando Bloom does that mean in the future I'm going to hook up with him? Alas, sigh - probably not. But it would be a little crazy for me to believe I am based on my dream. And for all your lambasting of other religions - I don't think YOU are a true follower of Jesus and His teachings. You need to step back and do some examining. For all you say about how happy you are (and you have to say it quite a bit - like you have to hear yourself) I have to wonder. Because someone who is truly happy and in the grace of God does not act like you. Your hell fire and damnation all the time - smacking down Christians for celebrating "pagan" holidays. That's called life and I enjoy it - does that make me any less of a Christian in Gods eyes? No, there is a difference in celebrating the Easter bunny and celebrating what Jesus did for us on the cross. There is a difference in celebrating Santa Clause and celebrating Jesus birth. It's HOW you do it! Stop belittling people on how they worship and take a look at yourself.
