  Behold, Man has become like us...

  by Iconoclast in

  genesis 3:22 - and the lord god said, "the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.

  he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.".

  within this scripture lies a very perplexing statement to me.

  Within this scripture lies a very perplexing statement to me. Who is "Us" and if Jesus is not godlike in his status and makeup, or, is not part of the Trinity, who is God speaking to? He couldn't be speaking to Jesus if he was merely the son of God since Jesus would not "BE LIKE GOD" but a lesser being.

  When I was in, I kept asking the Janitors By Day Kings By Night this question and I got the canned "Have Faith" response.

  After the pregnant woman is Raptured on May 21st - what happens to her fetus?

  by moshe in

  apparently, this has pregnant christians twisted in a knot trying to figure out how g-d will handle this paradox.

  fetuses in heaven?

  - or does g-d just let them die with the discarded human body left behind?.

  not to go to my sister's high school graduation.

  it's for home-schooled kids and will be at the la quinta.

  so there aren't going to be many people there.

  It would be nice if you could video tape a message for her to look at later telling her how proud you are of her

  Agreed! And it would be something she could keep with her for as long as she wants you to be near!

  Assembly this weekend, but also the Rapture...

  can i not go, and then hide for six months.

  will my friends believe i got taken on saturday?.

  if it really does happen, how embarrassed will the attendees be when they walk outside and find out that everyone else is gone, but they got left behind (and had to listen to a really boring talk on being encouraged to pioneer while all the excitement was going on outside?).

  All of my grandfather's grandchildren have had similar dreams all on the same night. We freaked when we told each other what had happened. They all had the same setting (on my grandfather's porch with him in the rocking chair and the dreamer in the swing). Each one of us had the feeling that it was real and all had the same similar conversation.

  I had one of my grandfather a few months ago where I rounded the corner in my house and he was standing there with his arms open. I ran into them and he kissed me and I said "Grandpa, you're in my dreams again! These are my most favorite kind of dreams!" and then he laughed and had a tear in his eye and said "I know" and then was gone.

  Maybe it's all bunk. Maybe it's not. We'll have to wait and see.

  I'm completely out. I have been for a while even though I honorably tried to "stay in" so my grandmother would have a relationship with me. I knew that had to stop when I started pointing out stupidities to my hubby during the meetings. I got looks. So I stopped going. And my grandmother has nothing to do with me. Oh, except for the occasional call to tell me God hates me. I tried. I really did. But it's her choice and I feel much better now without the religious monkey on my back than I ever have being berated by her constantly. I'm completely out.

  I vaguely remember a scripture saying something about losing mothers and brothers and sisters in my name. Something like that. It’s fitting.

  there are many new posters here, and i'm very interested to learn why you chose your screen names.. .

  one book i read, the mists of avalon, was very important to me.

  among the main characters was merlin, who in the book, was called "taliesen".

  LMAO! I like to read. Probably my downfall as a good witness. My grandmother told me that I need to stop thinking so much and I had an elder (I HATE THAT TITLE) tell me I need to dumb down my answers.
