Since, Unitarians (from my limited knowledge of them), can believe in almost anything, it is then most likely that some DO indeed believe in the trinity.
I enter as a fool who steps in where angels fear to tread.
I am old and may not see the End Times come, because each day now for me is a “bonus” day: “seventy is the sum of our years or 80 if we are strong”—Ps. 90:10)
“Whatever God wills, He does” (Ps.) and when God wills to bring into reality the last days of this time and world, He will do it. The only admonition we have been given is to be ready, to “have oil in our lamps”, to “keep our eyes on the goal line and run so as to win.”
We are to be as “little children”, knowing neither the day nor the hour, but being always ready for all the the Lord chooses to send, day in and day out, with our eyes focused on the one thing necessary—”life on high with Christ Jesus.”
I know I can’t predict or prevent those eschatological events-—I can only say with the Psalmist “My heart is ready, O Lord, my heart is ready”.
Every moment, then, is precious and all the research and documentation and separation of fact from fiction won’t change the course of events.
If the sky falls, with God’s grace I will be ready and will run to meet Him.
Some might say: Isn’t this a form of “quietism”?
I would say not. It’s listening and striving to live out the prayer Our Lord Himself gave to us:
“Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done...
give us this day our DAILY bread
Forgive us
as we forgive...
deliver us from evil.”
He has plans for us, not for our destruction but for our good (Jeremiah)
“Father into you hands I commend my spirit.”
I may be a crowd of one, but I believe that as long as I live each day as if it were my last, my life is in His hands and this is all I really need to know.
The only reason we are still here, as Christians, is to finish the work He gave us to do...and that is why you are still here... There is nothing in scripture about retiring from that work...press on and keep on getting His message out to those who have yet to hear. You’re not done until He takes you home....Press ON!
And why do you think I have retired from work?
Each man is given his own type of “work” to do.
With God’s grace, I am doing what He has given me to do.
May he continue to equip you and see your efforts bring the fruit intended.
Well Put.
It also shows that life in Jesus Christ our Lord is in the Now. Not in the future or the past.
With God’s grace, I am doing what He has given me to do.
Thank God for you, dear sister in Christ - and for you, dear brother in Christ!
Amen...
Yes, marbren.
God only gives us life one second at a time. :-)
And we have no control over the next five seconds, or our next heart beat, But, we know we can fall into that unknown future without fear and know that arms of Jesus Christ our Lord will be there to catch us.
Thanks so much, Alamo-Girl. I am grateful.
You’re welcome and far more than worth it!
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE, SPIRIT, CONTRIBUTIONS.
:-)
Ping to # 3676.
INDEED.
I’d launch into a satire . . . however, given that it’s my Bro Mad Dawg . . . I’ll kindly push my fingers on by.
And TV so the bodies of the 2 witnesses will be seen lying in the streets of Jerusalem by all the world as Biblical prophecy indicates . . .
Wonderful Scriptures.
Fitting points.
I meant from an RC about another question but thanks
Happy to know about

IMHO the amill interpretation is a byproduct of replacement theology. Israel again is the key.
