Revelations

[collegegirl]

I had a very interesting conversation today about the book of Revelations, and the end of the world, the rapture (kinda touched on it), the number of the beast. I have actually had about 2 in the past week or so. Any thoughts or comments that you might have?

[Christian-Samurai]

What brought up the converstation? and what was your thoughts on it?

[collegegirl]

Well, we were in the back prepping for this even, (me and two other girls), and they asked me about my skirts, and it led from their to christianity, and then Bible, and then I don't know how, the rapture. Oh, I think one of the girls brought it up b/c of a movie she had seen about it. We came to an interesting conclusion. We were talking about modest apparel, and I said that if the Lord said it, He wanted us to do it, and not doing His will is wrong and considered sin, going against His word, and one of the girls looked at me and said, "well then, all of the Christians that are out there that are wearing pant are sinning." I can't remember what my reply was, I think I gave her a look that said, "well, you said it, you have just proven the point, what do you think?"
Something that I have learned though, and am still learning, is that if they are so free to offer their opinions, and are trying to make me like them, then why should they get offended if I speak as freely about what I believe as they do about what they do and believe?

[Christian-Samurai]

Well You already know why the get offended. :D

[collegegirl]

Well, they did ask where it said it about the modest apparel, and I think it is in 1 Timothy. I am almost positive that it is one of the Timothy's, and specifically the 1st.

Though we are not to overlook those who could be, but there are those who just will never know even if you point it out to them word for word line by line. Seeing the did not see, Hearing they did not hear, thats what it says in the bible . Some are just not ment to know no matter what we send in one ear cause its just going to come out the other :D

True, and it talks about not casting out pearls before swine, but you have to throw out the baited hook to see if there is a book. You know, we are called to be fishers of men.

I agree with that some soul may be attracted to what u tell them and they may actually go in search of the thruth.

I just wanted to clarify. You throw out a baited hook to see of there is a NIBBLE. A BITE ! And you never know who is out there. We are to spread the gospel to every nation. What about our own?

[Christian-Samurai]

well I dont know about this nation, I mean I am sure there are some left but this nation has gone so far away from God, it just breaks my heart

[collegegirl]

But there HAS to be some more out there. I know. My dad led someone to the Lord just within the past year. She has a passion for the Lord and for this message. Obviously you are where you are because there is a life there that you are supposed to touch. Why are we where we are today, now? He delays us/pushes us/gets us there on time for a reason. Maybe the reason why you aren't out in China right now is b/c you are supposed to witness to a person on the plane or in China that won't ever be there again except for that one time, or perhaps you are supposed to speak to them before you go. Maybe I am in college not just to learn, but to be a light and a witness to someone in a class, or later on somewhere that I would have never been if I had never gone to college. Who knows? Only God. Trust. Spread the good news, not just that Jesus loves them, but that He died to take away their sins.

I want to give a site. It is www.wayofthemaster.com. My dad has been watching them with a Bible study that he has with a few of the local business men here in town on Thursday mornings. He brought a few home for us to watch. WOW! It will totally change your view on witnessing, and it is totally a motivator.

I can not say who is or who isnt, I am here because God had a mission for my parents to do, they Preach in the prision system. I am here right now to support them, yet there could be more to it but at the moment this is what I am doing.

[blessed]

Remember we ain't going nowhere till the last one comes in, and since we are still here i think there is still more to come, it definetly not much longer but there is still more to come in so do what we can to let men know the truth of our Lord Jesus and his saving grace.

[collegegirl]

Remember, we may be the only Bible that someone may ever read.

[Christian-Samurai]

Exactly what I am saying, what is it they always say, dont judge me by the way I look judge me by my actions, I think they are missing something when they say that, if you are truly one of God you will look like one of God's AND you will do what God would have you. God dont care how you look or dress as long as you do his will?? sometimes I wonder where these people get this. True there is more but there is also those who are already starting and yet cant seem to commit. each are at different levels. as you can read in my testimony to of Hui, I am the bible she read first. :)

What I was trying to point out is that even if there is more still there is even more that arent, We are to be a shining example to the world even if they are not to come in. But still that doesnt mean we have to tell them all our secrets. They wont get it even if we do.

Remember Bro. Branham said you can't teach a baby algebra. You have to start them off with the ABC's.

[Christian-Samurai]

yes exactly and Always Believe Christ is so easy yet they cant get it. they see and miss it they hear and are deaf even to that very simple ABC

[blessed]

ABC Always Believe Christ i like that... who came up with that don't think i have ever heard it before

[Christian-Samurai]

I am sure some else has thought of it before, but I just thought it up before I posted it :D still there is a good chance I wasnt the first one lol

[collegegirl]

There is always the ABC'c like this:

A-Admit that you are a sinner
B-Believe that Jesus Christ is Lord
C-Confess your sins

[blessed]

Absolutely fabolous we definitely have to patent that one

[Christian-Samurai]
