I am definitely a pre-trib follower of Christ Jesus. He has not appointed me to wrath. He says it and btw His promises He can not and will not break.For I know whom I have believed and I'm persuaded that He is able to keep which I have committed unto Him against that day! 2 Tim Love your story Johanan! Pre-trib makes the most sense given what we have been told and given God's character! As I have stated people of many faiths shall be in Heaven! Again, theology doesn't save, just believing in the Jesus the scriptures reveal! TR Longing to see His face and being caught up into His presence simply does promise a crown of righteousness! It does not negate salvation or insure it! For the past 40 years there have has been much reformed theology emminating from seminaries! As a whole many "movements", teachings and fads have infiltrated the Church and been circulated! Sadly, doctrinal truths have been burned in sacrifice to a self evolving theological god of the times! TR I loved that story too Yohanan, excellent! Although the rain has always fallen on the just and the unjust and martyrdom has always been present the difference being that a wife beater enjoys inflicting the pain! Christ does not! But God gives everyone an even playing filed as faith is being tested again with the human body holding a low priority! As this flesh cannot live forever! With God's ultimate aim to filter out those who might later rebel against Him as the Angels did! Also a good argument that flesh and blood need to be glorified, whether infected or altered genetically! IMHO TR
My great grandmother came over on the boat from Italy too so I guess we are paisonos! I did not know her at all because she passed around the time I was born, but I remember my grandmother (her daughter) quite well and she sounds a lot like the story of your great grandmother. She used to pray for hours a day, she used rosary beads because that is all she knew and had been taught, but her relationship with Jesus was very obvious and very close. Thanks for sharing your story!
