Should my Dad re-marry when my Stepmom is raptured on the 21st?

Yeah, when I look around and see a lot of "No's".

But when I look at Jesus and his promises, I see "Yes". I see "Amen".

peace,

Ya, I always felt like a lot of Christians would have an easier go at things if they made a completely separate book that held only the things that Jesus said. It might put his teachings into a better perspective. There is so much extra that can be completely twisted by whomever feels it necessary.

Jesus' teachings and words on their own hold so much more truth and power.

Gosh are you serious op?

the words no are never said.
the spiritual richness to grow in an enviornment like that..

to be whom you choose to be not out of imposition but through self choice


thats the only way..no imperatives..just suggestions..our choice

thats the way I was educated.. I was taught... but then the choice was mine

the
beauty of choosing freely

Sorry if I am reading what you wrote wrong, but I will reply to how I interpreted that. (Words are limiting).

But, yes, the spiritual freedom felt from being completely free to do as you wish is indescribable.

However, growth in that environment can be limited. Freedom does not alway lead to growth.

This is why we come here.......

I was raised the typical way a Child on Earth was raised. "No" was a common word and it led to my rebellion. Which then led me back into the path I was on before I incarnated. Being told "No" was a good way for me to realize that I won't accept "No" on my path back to God.

Well, the guy on the cross next to him did not read or hear much of anything. But he knew something...

He knew he was guilty of crimes he had committed and he knew who Jesus was, and he asked for remembrance and he was made a promise.

So yeah, I hear you.

peace,

Ya, the interaction between jesus and the other man being killed is one of the most compelling stories from Jesus' life. I love that one.

Agreed. I recall there were two men with Jesus. Two deep stories conveyed in so few verses.

Very compelling indeed.

I was never told No..possibly because my parents were wise enough to know that that wouldnt have sufficed..they explained things to me ..and then I chose

So true its all about awarenes and making choices

The one saying, if you are who you say you are, pick up the phone and answer me!

The other, please remember me.

Humility..

I can't remember what he said to the other guy. I just remember the interaction between the first. Didn't the other guy just call out to God and not Jesus. Refresh me. It has been a while since I have picked up a Bible.

That's awesome. My parents were divorce (hints the stepmom reference haha), but my mom was the one that insisted I do what I want. So it was two conflicting teachings that found a happy medium to make me successful in life yet still have my head in the clouds.

Here was the short story...

[link to godsview.com]

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and
offering him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Wife is putting me to work now... Rightfully so, I have been farting around all morning.

Great chatting with you OP.

Take care.

I have always liked this line for one very wonderful reason. It depicts the fact that a man, which society deemed a criminal, would be going to the same paradise as Jesus. We all return to the Source (or paradise). Some of us just choose to make our paths a bit harder.

Hahaha, you too, my friend. All farting must cease when the wife appears.

I LIKE you!


On a side note, OP. The 21st sounds like a GREAT day for Project Bluebeam, imo. Lots of people looking up!

Man, I didn't want to have to be the first one to admit that I believed that was a possibility. Thank you, Watcher, for having the gumption I didn't. I agree with you though. Blue Beam is gonna happen at some point and I couldn't think of a more perfect, horrifying and confusing moment than the moment people expected a rapture.

Thank you scrodiddles I am guessing you are a pro writer some where. I will be waiting for more threads from you.
Peace man!

No, I am not a pro-writer. Just a twenty three year-old that squeezed every drop out of his free education and then wasted his potential on tattooing. Which brings me as much joy as seeking God in all things. But thank you and I will continue to make threads so long as I feel somewhat informed about a subject and want to argue with people that clearly know more than me. Stay tuned!

Now THAT would make for an interesting scenario. It would definitely cause some serious panic. I know I'll definitely be outside all day looking up... and maybe I'll throw a big "Rapture/Blue Beam party"?

I am not sure if I would be excited or not. Knowing that Blue Beam is a fake might make it easier to just take in the awe of such a life changing event. You may not even notice the urine streaming down your leg.

Had to give ya all those, cause ur hilarious. Didn't even read the rest of the thread. And I'm one of those rapturetards, although not a May 21st one.

Well, I appreciate it. Reading the rest of the thread will probably surprise you. There was only about two people that got their feathers ruffled. Everyone else has been really awesome. And informative.

I think that not only should your dad start doing some crunches ... but that he also needs to get in some practice of going to the bars where the older classy social climbers hang out ahead of time and start buying some drinks for them. It takes a long time to get something going with those high class women because they are really really picky, generally about two weeks if he's got some money - though only a week if he's got lots of money, so if he just has some money and he starts in this week he will be hitting getting some action about a week after your mom leaves him.

Once the action starts he should continue with E-Harmony since anything can happen at the age those older classy social climbers are. He will need at least a couple of extras to work with part time so that he can be grooming them to take the position of the one(s) he has found at the bar's place. Two main squeezes, plus a couple extra that he is ready to bring on board at a moment's notice, should both handle the immediate situation and provide sufficient "insurance" in the event things go wrong with one or more of the main squeezes. If he's got lots of money though he may want to up the numbers to three main squeezes plus three extras.

Gees, that is the most rock solid advice I have seen yet. You just might have single-handedly helped my dad avoid dying alone. Or at the very least, he will get to sack a lot of women that look like Sarah Palin. Or maybe even Sarah Palin herself. There is no way she won't still be around after the Rapture.
