If the christians are raptured first and the unfaithful must undergo 7 years of tribulation, how does that fit with the parable of the tares and wheat in Matthew 13: 24-30 where the tares (unbelievers) are taken out first and then the wheat (christians) are then taken out right after?

I haven't been too impressed these last few years with them... I'm thinking of going green or libertarian.

They demand the rights to preach wherever they want and yet they won't let a Hindu say a prayer in the Senate.

It's for my new (3 weeks old) grandson's room. I am asking because I am unable to get to my Book of Shadows at this time and I need to do this tonight. I am traveling (2) hours after work to go to my daughter house. My daughter (not Wiccan) has asked me to bless his room because she feels "uncomfortable" in this room. My mother (Wiccan) and I (Celtic Pagan) had cleansed it about a year ago because my daughter was unable to sleep in the room. Things have been fine until now. This was my room as a child and now my daughter lives there. Myself, my mother and daughter are all very "spiritual" so I do believe negative energies may have attached themselves to this room.

We will be using white sage and I'm just looking for a short chant/invocation not a ritual (since my mother's and my beliefs don't totally agree).

Thanks for your help.

If your adult body here is four foot and you weigh 220 lbs; do you still believe that you will have that same body up in heaven? Or do you believe that our Good Savior Jesus Christ will give all of us a much better, more real suitable form up in the next higher Heaven ?

If you believe we will be souls in a higher soul body up there, do you think your mental capacities will be the same as here or how many times more? Will an IQ of 100 here be IQ 100 up in Heaven to start? or maybe IQ 300 ? IQ 1000 ? IQ ten trillion? other ? Then we need to consider soul quotients up there; but we humans don't know about that and can not measure same. In Jesus' Parable of the talents, the human with 5 talents got 5 more; the human with 10 got 10 more.

Like we're checking who converts who?

Don't they see we're here for the heck of it?

Past one year, my judgement of people is dying. My dislike and anger about anything is fading away. Something new is being born from within but sadly is quite sensitive to feelings and emotions of others. Its hard to describe. Has anyone else felt like this?

For instance, we all could learn mercy from Jesus, peace from Buddha, Strength from Thor, desire from Shiva, thought from Prometheus, emotional control from Yamaya... And if we can learn these things and benefit ourselves, shouldn't we?

I've been trying to think of a way to tell to a fellow R&Ser that I've fallen in lust with her, but I don't want to be perceived as an evildoer. What's so bad about it?

first of all, this is a serious question and it isnt an insult to you or God in any way. i would like to know if God is love and our Father, why do you fear Him? do you fear what would happen if you dont? i would like to hear your thoughts on this. and please dont waste my time with "condemning the sinner". many thanx.

Intelligently and logically, how can I propose the idea that just dressing radically doesn't somehow mean you're not a good Christian, or not a Christian at all?
Arguments against this include the fact that nonconforming is a form of rebellion, which stems from anger, which can be a sin. There's...quite a lot against it. How do I really get into the issues surrounding this, psychologically/spiritually/religiously/etc, to defend it?

he asked to be crucified that way but, the bottom line is things do not happen unless it is the will of God---either his permissive will or his ordaining will) so he would be a mirror image of Christ---"we were made in his image"

Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
