Dear religious forum...

Dear religious forum friend and sparring partners,

I want to tell you what the Lord has done for me in the past few weeks.

Up until 3 weeks ago I was a dead-asleep Christian. I had allowed addictive sins to grow in my heart. Rarely did I pray - but I loved to argue religion.

But about 3 weeks ago, (the only way I can describe it is that...) I was woken (nothing I did) from my years long, morphine-like "sin-comma".

As I started read the Scripture I became strongly convinced of two thing:

1. He appearance is very close - like at the door.

2. That it was time to thoroughly sweep my life and home clean of all sin (i.e. Leave). I am now in the trying to get rid of anything that made my conscience wince.

And I feel great!!!

I am here to tell you I feel like I have gotten hold of some extremely strong happy-juice. I feel like vitality is pouring back into my life. The weight of my bad conscience had turned my life into a gray drudgery.

And I'm just starting this process!!!

I come to encourage any of you, my friends who are as I was!!!

Arise!!! Arise!!! Arise!!! For your Light is Here!

The Father picked you for His Son and now He is about to present His Son with His chosen Bride. Jesus has waited 2,000 years to drink wine again on the Blessed coming Day. And within years, the nation of Israel will be exalted and will take her place as the footstool of His feet upon the earth. (Beware the false Christ who comes first.)

You can't wake yourself up, but you know you need to, ask Him to to wake you. Be persistent. Whatever you need is already your by virtue of Jesus' blood. It will buy you any spiritual gift or favor you need. Ask and believe.

I hope some find this of value. May our Kings Name praised. Jesus Christ, Lord and God, Life and Light.

To those many that I owe an apology for previous rude and bad behavior. I sincerely apologize for any disrespect given. I'm trying my best to get right with as many folks as I can. If I have offended you, please freepmail me.

Thank you for resisting sin.

• Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
• Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
• For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
• Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
• And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
• For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
• If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
• But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

I haven’t listened to his Bible Prophecy update yet. Thanks for the reminder.

[CJ Wolf]

Amen.

Ask and Believe. I wish you great discovery on your new journey.

[Flaming Conservative]

Not really. Apostasia is the same thing as apostasy, which means turning away, or falling from faith. It can’t mean departing, as in being raptured.

[Obadiah]

Many thanks for the encouraging words. Indeed, we do so rejoice with you.

[Persevero]

YAY

See you in the clouds, soon. We won’t be here when the ‘thief in the night’ Day of the Lord opening the seven seals begins. Maranatha, even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Hugs back. Thanks!!!

[spacejunkie2001]

it actually says ...a falling away which is a defection from the truth. We are clearly seeing that now. MANY have turned from the truth and love the lie.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Buddy I am writing you at the top of my prayer list. Let’s do this together if you are ready.

I will pray for God to open your eyes, raise you up and fill you with strength to follow Him. Every day at 12:00 PM est.

Love you brother.

[PetroniusMaximus]

I’ll be looking for you MHGinTN!

-- You can't wake yourself up --

That's a vital admission or understanding or whatever. Our lives and our salvation are gifts from our maker, and it is He who grants faith. It is up to us to accept this, and deal with the ramifications.

God bless and keep you! Don't preoccupy with the timing of his coming, go about your life. We are here to praise God and, however the spirit moves us, to draw others to understanding and salvation.

[MHGinTN]

The Greek has a definite article before 'Apostasia' thus rendering it a proper noun, THE Departure. The Departure was how the English translations read until the Douey Rheims translated it the rebellion during the Protestand reformation. The King James Protestant translators then rendered it the falling away (from Rome, one would presume).

The rendering of the root verb refers to a physical departure fifteen times in the New Testament, so a physical departure could be a good rendering. Andy Woods taught a Sunday School lesson on this very verse today

[MHGinTN]

You are in error. Try watching the video I linked from Andy Woods on 2 Thess 2:3. Have a quiet evening in the Lord.

God bless you!
