I had a Cults and World Religions class in Bible college. What struck me was how similar many of them were - especially the so-called "Christian" ones. They share some strange ideas but what they ALL have in common is what YOU must do to bind yourself back to God. That's how we can tell the difference between true Christianity and false. The difference is GRACE - and what grace truly means. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You don't earn or pay for a gift someone gives you because then it wouldn't BE a gift.
BTW...I spent five months in North Dakota. There's no way I could have survived there for long. Eighty below zero with the wind chill factor? NO THANKS!

I spent my first 19 years in ND, till I joined the USAF, and left. 👍 When I got back from Vietnam, I re-enlisted, cuz I was in a critical career field, and I got a big bonus. Even then, I was thinking we were going to have a civil war. Also, if I hadnt stayed in the USAF, I would have been discharged at the Port of San Francisco, and the only place I could go, was ND. NO WAY was I going to do that. 👎 anyway, see you at the pre trib rapture. 😁👍
