Religion & Spirituality - 7 April 2007

Have you heard about the rapture of the Church? Those that believe that the church will be raptured before the Great Tribulation rely on a story in the Old Testament about Moses, who struck a rock that was supposed to be a 'type of Christ'. Moses screwed up, and struck the rock twice and it made God angry. Moses was punished for that, and was told the he wouldn't get to enter the Promised Land, what was to be Israel.

The church is actually the people that believe in Jesus Christ, not the building. So when Jesus is said to lie in the tomb three days and three nights, he might have. Tradition may have it wrong. But what if he rose before that? and since the church is also called the 'body of christ' in the Bible, why couldn't Jesus have risen at any given time after he was put into the tomb? And the church carries the rest of the three days in terms of ( a day to the Lord is as a thousand years) waiting to be resurrected to the completion of what he said would happen?

What if I did organize a peace rally? Do you still think the ignorants will ignore it and claim that not a single one of us speaks out? What if it was aired all over the US, possibly other countries? Do you still think they will remain bigoted and fight facts in preference of myth?

My mom has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in her colon, lung, spine, bones and adrenal glands. She has been given 4 to 6 months to live. I had to break the news to my 93 year old grandmother, who has already lost her husband and 2 of ther other children to cancer. My mom has no money and no life insurance. My hubby's company is closing it's doors and he is almost 52 and will be looking for work again. Pray that we find a way to accept what is happening to mom, for my hubby to find a new job soon and for us to find a way to cover my mother's burial costs.

Thanks in advance and God bless you all, even those of you who don't believe in God.

I teach art a Christian-based university. Faculty are asked to start the class with a devotional or spiritual message of some kind. I don't generally do that, but I do read quotes about art from one of my favorite artists. He happened to have been a bisexual atheist. Should I get in gear or keep with my program? I am Christian, after all. I think his vews of art were very consistent with a healthy view of the world.

them access to eating of the Tree of Life ..... I was wondering if there could have been a tree that .... while eating its fruit , it enabled the human body to regenerate and live forever ... unlike any other animal or living flesh. This tree would have been needed for mankind to live forever ... as originally planned. Does this sound kosher ??

I like "Were You There". It's only sung on Good Friday, but I think it's a beautiful hymn.

What is your favorite hymn?

I asked a question about sleep protection spells, and this Christian guy said that I had bad dreams because of my "additional details" which basically says I'm a pagan.

Why do people think they have the right to butt in and be so judgemental? Why can't people like that keep their intolerance to themselves? Does anyone else feel picked on?

Ezek. 33:11 Say to them, ‘“As I am alive,” is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “I take delight, not in the death of the wicked one, but in that someone wicked turns back from his way and actually keeps living.

God is talking to you from his Word the Bible.
