1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Dear Primo,

Let me say that I'm really amazed at the following you have! Since I have you as a Contact I only just saw this question on my profile and figured I might be the first to answer. Was I ever wrong!

Yes, I am washed in the blood of the Lamb and ready to meet Jesus.

That being said I have a lot of friends and relatives and neighbors who are anything but ready. Therefore I am hoping our heavenly Father will allow me more time in which to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and Him crucified and risen.

I especially pray for my mother and several other relatives who are Watchtower Witnesses. Throughout my life they have told me such lies which are not according to God's Word. They told me the lies but my heavenly Father put His awesome protection around me and kept me free by letting me be raised in my dad's church.

But other people have succumbed to their pressures and spread the false prophecy. And I know that my mother and all other jws will be held accountable not only for their own unforgiven sin nature but the unforgiven sin nature of those they lead away from Jesus.

Answer 3

primoa19 -
I'm happy for you.

As for me, I'm NOT Christian, so my answer is no.
I'm extremely happy and most comfortable in the context of my religious belief (that being Jewish).

As for the "blood of the Lamb", I'll wish you a happy passover as we remember when God, not wishing to kill Israelite children, told Moses to have the Jewish houses marked with lamb's blood, so he could "pass over" those houses.

I'm quite certain that Jesus celebrated this Jewish holiday as well.
And were he to appear, I'd invite him in for a Passover Seder.
I'm sure he'd feel right at home!

By the way - why is ham served on Easter?
Wouldn't Jesus be offended by this non-kosher food?

Answer 4

I am saved but as of right now I am out of fellowship with God and Jesus, not because of them but because of me. So if Jesus was to Rapture his church now I would stand before him ashamed of how I have lived the past 3 years.

Answer 5

I've been ready since I gave my life to Jesus on Feb. 11, 2007 and I know I'm gonna be called up to Heaven when Jesus comes to call us believes home.

Answer 6

That day shall come as a thief in the night to many. Stay prepared !!!

Answer 7

The event deemed the "return of the Christ" will be when those who profess to follow his teachings actually do so. It won't be a physical event.

Answer 8

Yes, I look for it and pray about it every day. I don't view it as the end, I consider it to be the beginning of my TRUE life.

Maranatha!

Answer 9

Great, now I have the old hymn in my head.

Are you washed (are you washed)
In the blood (in the blood)
Of the lamb
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow

Yes, I do both parts in my head. lol Those old hymns we used to sing in SBC stick with me for life.

Answer 10

Bring it on.

If He comes today, blessed be His name.
If He tarries further for others to come, blessed be His name.

We will see Him in His time.

Selah.
