What’s a Columbian? Do you mean Colombian?
The meaning of the word “fear” has drifted over the centuries.
INDEED.
THX
I likely just copied it from that website.
I’m not a great spellllur
Substitute reverential awe, then.
Regardless, Bible greats
were in FEAR when confronted merely with angels.
The prophet saw The Lord High and Lifted up . . . and concluded he was a man of unclean lips . . .
I am in awe of the fact that I am like a mote between His thumb and fore finger and could snuff me out of existence on a whim. I do not fear that He will do this because He has tought me He loves me.
Sounds like a good Biblical perspective, to me.
LOLOL!
Sigh.
Would rather be the
Court Jester.
Though plenty already see me as the Court Clown.
errrrr . . .
The Court Kook.
LOL
I find your assertion to be total hogwash.
They were relating a narrative personal experience.
PERIOD.
Their own biases were jangled in their experiences.
They wisely chose to believe Jesus vs their mistaught biases.
Some folks in the RC edifice are obviously not so wise.
BTW, the stuff that directly related to the RC nonsense was what . . . 2-5 lines worth?
What a traumatic read those few words must have been.
I hope a comfy sofa was available for an extended recovery rest.
Could be they're talking the Heavenly City, Jerusalem...Once outside the gates, pick a star...
pick a star...
I don’t think we’ll be constrained by space OR time.
The Apostle Paul spent some personal time with the Resurrected Jesus...And Paul says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord...And then Paul seems to voluntarily get himself into situations where people want to kill him, and they try often enough...Almost like he was suicidal...
When someone is willing to get his head bashed in so he can get to heaven as quickly as possible, sounds like a place I might want to be...And if Heaven is a 12x12 room, and Paul still wanted to go there, I'll take it too...
Man, you believed that jesse Duplantis story. That was hogwash.
It’s so persistently comforting when so many RC’s are so off the wall wrong.
but
a guy who claims to have ridden in a cable car to
heaven
is not
OFF THE WALL?
also, if you look at the testimony of the seven children, it is all obviously written by the same person. like a script. There is no appreciable difference in the storytelling of any of the kids, nor in their grammar.
The way this reads, with every account full of Bible verses in order to prove it’s “authenticity”, is that it was written by an American Baptist with fundamentalist leanings, not a couple of kids from Columbia.
