How many children were saved from the flood and the destruction of Sodom?
None. Don't count on God rapturing any children that aren't parents of true followers of Christ.

*the Swiss legalize prescription heroin so people can get their fix in a controlled environment, and work on getting clean*

Sorry! I can not buy this reasoning. It is a behavior that causes destruction. What will be the next addiction that we allow as normal behavior? Pedophiles, pornography, PCP usage, murder, etc? The water on the burner gets hotter and we are now like that frog that does not know that he is being cooked! It must be treated from the "heart" as a spiritual problem and not as a physical problem. Do we legalize murder because it "relieves stress and tension among people?"

I also feel like you do. That this is our last Thanksgiving and Christmas as we know it.

I just can not explain what I am talking about to most people. Even my son, who is getting his dual master's degree in Theology and the Ministry can not understand what I am talking about. We were up until 2 am last evening talking about end time events and Israel and why I feel this way.

He said that it could be just that this area is where my "calling" is centered, and maybe he doesn't feel like I do because his calling is more for teaching. I just don't understand why more Christians are jumping up and down with anticipation like I am and most here.

Homeschooling is dangerous to the powers behind the politicians because the home schooled youthful minds are not available to be brainwashed. My kids go to public school but I've also done a lot of teaching at home with them. They are prepared at home not to accept everything they're taught in school as truth. From my girl's reactions to the "health" class curriculum in jr high and high school, that is one place where the powers do significant brainwashing.

*Can you explain how the support for Hitler somehow resembles the support for Obama?*

I don't think I need to explain it to you, if you can't see it, no "explanation" will suffice.

Not much is forgotten on the internets. Watch your witness. Yahoo, google and many others have bots which catalog threads and posts here. Its quite normal (well, normal is a relative term)

Its funny though....of all the posts I have made over the years, google has very little on me, and what they do have looks selectively picked to make me look crazy/weird/whatever. Last I checked anyway..

I always thought of a 5% figure, which is close to reality if one lumps homosexuals, bisexuals and transgenders together.
It's disconcerting that such a vocal and aggressive part of that minority is clamoring for so-called "equal rights", yet does so by giving much flak and hate to a substantially bigger minority, christians, of which the rights ARE actually violated by the homosexual activists.
Bunch of hypocrites i say.

I'm going to be very honest here. I have stopped praying for God's protection on America. I simply cannot do it anymore. I still pray for protection on God's people in this country and God to bring Americans to repentance, but not for the protection and mercy on this country. As a nation, we have spit in the face of God and shook our fists in His face. IMO, this nation deserves a president like Obama. He and the other Democrats are going to completely destroy this nation and the truth is we deserve it. I don't think the "average" American is center right anymore, but center left. This is what so many have been craving - Obama and all his marxist and socialist beliefs - to be at the forefront of how this nation is governed. Unfortunately, when they get it, they're going to wish they could give it back. It is my hope that the disasters that are soon to befall this nation will be a real wake-up call for these same Americans who helped bring this on the U.S. Obviously, America as a whole isn't taking God's warnings seriously and the only way He will be able to get our attention is to take His hand of protection completely off us. Maybe then this nation will hear God and turn to Him for real this time. Unlike the couple of weeks after 9/11 happened.

Read your Bible, there is great truth in it. Homosexuality is on the rise. It is increasing and whether you want to believe it or not, it will one day be the majority.

(More on FSTDT)

Don't feel badly, Hon. A lot of us on here have been quoted--consider it joy. Pray for these people--their lives are so empty and so they try to fill it by stealing joy from and making fun of God and His people. Let them have their cheap little laugh--it is probably all they have going on in their lives. They seriously need prayer. Prayerfully, some of them will come to the knowledge of the Truth. Sadly, many others will remain blind. We don't know who is who, so pray for them all. I'm praying that you're feeling better since you know that so many of us are in the same situation as you. They are pitiful

But how long until homeschooling will be illegal and/or thought of as "cultish"?

This breaks my heart!!!!!!!!!! (my heart has been breaking a lot lately). Those kids had faces of confusion. Why are they teaching this?!?! There is SO MUCH more that needs taught instead of THIS?!?! It's a waste of time! There needs to be seperation between sexuality and state! What makes it ok to talk about sex in school but not Jesus? IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrr!

PS. I didn't even know that you had to have sex to have a baby until I was 10 YEARS OLD!!

Oh, it's going to increase and already is increasing. Young folks today are experimenting with it. If you experiment with it, you will at least become bi. Then after that, you'll swing mostly gay. Elton John did.

You can bet your life, if kids get exposed to it scholastically as being ok, then they'll most likely experiment with it a little, then it will overtake them.

The gay community would love to see gay expansion through the schools. Their terriritory then widens exponentially.

Folks, it's happening, and at some point the whole earth will truly be like Sodom and Gomorrah. If you recall, ALL THE MEN OF SODOM showed up at Lot's front door wanting to "know" those two men (angels). The whole city was perverted.

I believe God wiped it out because if He hadn't, it would have spread across the land like a Staph infection, and it was not time for that to happen. But I believe we're getting close to that point now because it is the end times.

If the education system taught people how to think rather than engaging in social engineering, they would be able to sort through the nonsense and find the truth. When schools treat Christianity the same as witchcraft and promotes tolerance of every idea under the sun, you've got a big problem.

Has anyone else had the slight desire "physically silence" some of these gay rights activists? Or is it just me???

I graduated in 1995 and I remember being in about 5th or 6th grade and another student getting stabbed in the leg with a pencil...

But I do agree, violence among children is escalating and the natural love of many is waxing cold.

I homeschool my daughter. I'm so happy to be able to give her a biblical worldview.

*Obama administration reveals plans to advance gay agenda*

Why don't we just make pot legal, legalize sex with minors and heck, throw in a free pony for everyone while we're at it? As many of us as are praying for him I know God is making himself known to the man, but he must be well and truly lost. Keep praying!

God help us all!

America is begging for God's wrath. The blood of millions of aborted babies, left gasping on counters to die, amongst other atrocities is crying out to God. (Look up Jill Stanek on the internet). I am from the Chicagoland area, not proudly, where this nurse worked at Christ's hospital. She gave a gruesome detailed testimony to the IL state senate depicting the horrible atrocities she had witnessed while working there. Horrible late and partial birth abortions, etc. Obama, after hearing this testimony, still voted in favor of all types of abortion to continue. He and many others have a lot of blood to account for some day. It takes a very cold heart to hear the stories this nurse tells and then turn around and vote to continue it. It sickens me. Then in his acceptance speech he thanks homosexuals-because after all they voted him in to. Thumbing homosexuality up in God's face is not advisable for our nation. See: Sodom and Gomorrah--Old testament. I don't think our economy beginning to fail is a coincidence.

God can no longer bless a nation that has kicked Him out. Look at the Israelites. Every time they turned away from God disaster struck.

Not to prophesy gloom and doom, but Pray People, Pray.

The blood cries out even as we speak.

*Can you explain how the support for Hitler somehow resembles the support for Obama?*

* came out of no where
* little to no experience
* arrived during weak economy
* promised change and success
* gained acceptance for no apparent reason
* carried plans of drastic social changes
* primary goal to diminish the Jews

I'm not surprised that they lied about the percentage of gays. They also lied about how heterosexuals were just as much at risk to contract HIV as the homosexuals. The VAST majority of those diagnosed can be attributed to homosexual sex. Next on the list is HIV drug users (I think).

Anyway, it has to do with the way the virus itself is transmitted. Not to be offensive (and I apologize if it is) but the very nature of homosexual sex makes the virus most easily transferred that way. (Make any sense?)

They lied about heterosexuals being at a high risk in order to get funding for research and treatments and such.

It's disconcerting that such a vocal and aggressive part of that minority is clamoring for so-called "equal rights", yet does so by giving much flak and hate to a substantially bigger minority, christians, of which the rights ARE actually violated by the homosexual activists.

*plan B pill*

Does the woman know if the egg is fertilized? No. Does she take the chance of killing her baby, even if it is just days old, when she takes this drug? Yes. Can any study realistically say how many implantations are being prevented by the pill versus hindering the release of an egg? Nope.

Each person must make her own choice and deal with whatever consequences, even if that means she is just sticking her head in the sand, but there is no excuse for saying this pill does no harm, when it certainly does in some cases.

(Off topic slightly, but did anyone see Dr. Phil today? It was about Prop 8 in California and the nationwide rift this issue is causing.)

txmomof3:
I just watched it...I TIVO it and watch it after my kids go to bed as they don't need to watch or listen to a show like Dr. Phil. I thought I was going to be sick when I was watching it. I feel like it was set up to make the "Yes" on Prop 8 side look like bigots and idiots. It is absolutely disgusting how they twist everything to make it appear like something it is not.

pty:
I watched the Dr. Phil show...and I am sorry to say...I yelled at my t.v..a lot....I was so mad that the pastors did NOT take a biblical stand...voice what needs to be voiced...the continued invasion of gays into biblical territory.(marriage)...will be dealt a quick blow...and not from us..from God himself...He will not be mocked! That may sound harsh and intolerant....but it is from the Bible....homosexuality is an abomination before the Lord...Satan's counterfeit "family"....I never thought I would see such a time as this...I am 54..and I remember when sodomy was a crime..literally...

Today when I came into work I did as I always do, get online and check out the headlines and wait to see what jumps out at me. This is when I hear God speaking to me, when things kind of just jump out at me. I saw 4 or 5 headlines that spoke to me. The first said scientists said that we have done so much CO2 damage to our planet that it is now beyond repair, and that humans have 30 years, tops, before extinction. The next headline said that the US is heading towards no linger being one of the super-powers. Did you catch that? Not THE super-power...ONE of the super-powers. The next headline spoke of Europe is, by 2025, going to be a "hobbled giant". The next headlline said that by 2025, nuclear confrontations were inevitable because of all the "rogue" states having these weapons and also the scarcity of food and water. Then I read about a teen putting his suicide on the 'net on a webcam and people were not horrified but instead threw insults at him. It popped into my mind. This is world is spinning out of control and is more than ready for a "man" to take control of it with his master plan. Now mind you, I know that nothing is out of God's control, but you understand what I mean. Totally spinning out of control, and waiting for someone to step in and rescue it. Until now, I always thought it would be the Rapture that had this world going berserk. Now I see it's already in utter chaos. Man, I really feel that the Antichrist is chomping at the bit...waiting like a tiger to pounce onto the world scene. I know all these things I've spoke of are no new news to all of you, but I really have felt the Holy Spirit saying to me that things are changing!!! And then at times I can't believe these things are really happening. It's alsmost too much to believe that this is really happening.

(Long Island school to be renamed after Obama...OH THE IRONY!!!)

(evil satan pitchfork smiley)

I know! Sometimes these "gay rights activists" make me SO MAD! Who do they think they are, being gay and so on?

Married couples with kids used to be mocked as "breeders" by the homosexual community.

So why this passionate desire among gays to "tie the knot" complete with traditional church wedding, rings, licenses, and children? Because Satan attempts to counterfeit every single thing God holds dear.

And you know what's really sad? Gay couples can never escape the fact they are doing a pathetic imitation of God-ordained male and female roles within their own relationships.

The only thing I hate worse than VIOLENT, FLAMING homosexual behaviour is that our votes don't count!

Posted by Ruth: I have two gay cousins. One is male and lives in san fran and the other is a lesbian and lives in london.I don't have a relationship with either but I do love them.Its hard when you see family going down a dangerous path and can't do anything about it. Me and my sibs were much younger then my cousins and when we had family dinners they were told by my aunt that if they were to never show affection towards their bf or gf in front of us kids.I don't think she went far enough because I grew up thinking gay was fine-that it was,{normal}.Even my mom being a christian didn't stop the influence thay had on us younger ones.I don't mean to sound uncaring but, I'm glad that I'm not close to that side of my family-I just wouldn't want all the arguments and hurt feelings.What do u do when u love your family who are gay, but u don't want them to influence your children? I wish I had the answer?

Posted by IlovemyJesus: Ruth, I wanted to tell you my husband and I made a decision a few months ago concerning my brother that came out of the closet to our family a year ago. We are going to love him no matter what. However, we will not allow him to have any type of influence over our children. If he is allowed by my parents to bring his "friend" to their house we will simply not go. We of course will not go to his home in another State as long as he is living the active homosexual lifestyle. Believe me it was not an easy conclusion, but my first priority is to sheild my children and that I will do....

If Prop 8 is overturned, it will affect the military. Imagine straight men who will be forced to bunk with gay couples. Imagine how difficult psychologically it will be for the heterosexual men.

(Iowa College Bases Musical on Bible's 'Terror' Stories)

There was also incest in the OT. Didn't Lot's daughters trick him, get him drunk and sleep with him to have children? I don't think this production is a good idea personally.
Preaching the GOOD news from the NT would be a better. This just sounds very dark (because it is) this world is dark enough without having to display that subject matter.

I used to work in Labor and Delivery before I became a SAHM and we had a lesbian couple who delivered. One time one partner delivered, and with the next baby, the other partner. (So each woman would get to experiance pregnancy and delivery)They too used a turkey baster but they didn't purchase the sperm. They got it from a male gay couple they knew.

They were VERRY open about their situation. They weren't just open...they LOOVED talking about it and would discuss it with any and everyone who came into contact with them.

Upon admission, they made a huge deal about giving us all these legal papers (power of attorney, etc) and made a huge deal that 2 mothers were listed on the birth certificate...and 2 fathers. (the gay male couple who had given the sperm). Upon delivery, the delivery room was full with all 4 members of this "family" present. They also insisted that armbands be made to include them all.

The other gay couple I knew of that delivered was a male couple. They had a surrogate. The mother who delivered was a young, married woman with 2 other children. She would not discuss the situation...said it was too painful. She always looked like she was about to cry. (Absolutely broke my heart).

However, the gay couple again, LOVED talking about it. They told us they had obtained a donor egg from another state, and had fresh breast milk flown in from another state. (Eww! Didn't even know you could do that until then). Upon delivery, the gay couple went into the postpartum area, while the birth mother was transferred to another part of the hospital.

ALL us nurses went home praying for the baby and birth mother.

The homosexual jackboot crowd continues its relentless march across American culture and men like the founder of eHarmony are only too willing to knuckle under and conform to their terrorist demands.

Anybody on here have a semi that can load up all these naked idiots and bring them east to Iowa??

Google is picking up our threads

In Breaking news and world events there is a thread started called Bush hands over reins of US economy to EU. Everyone was questioning the source so I did a Google search and sure enough it's there the 5th one down that says it was from Rapture Ready. I created a thread in Ecology and Economics and saw my thread there as well called Spam is selling off the shelves. I frankly don't care what Google knows and what I say here but it shows we are being monitored. I know we are not suppose to be here when the AC comes but the technology is there already to see what is being said.
Go to Breaking news and world events and check out post 62,64,65,69 and see what I mean.

Special school for 'Gay' students?!

I can't believe this!!

A school on MSN.com news that is designed for gay students... (can't post the link because I'm too new). the article title is "Victims of bullying may get their own school".

Okay...originally it was meant for students who identify as gay. After protests, the organizers decided it would be for students who had been bullied, for whatever reason in 'normal' schools...including weight, sexuality and get this...religious beliefs. Yet, of the 600 future students, they expect about half to be gay. Can we say gay activitst breeding ground?!?!

Ill bet if two homosexual teachers started making out in full view of everyone
nobody would be able to say boo about that.

But a christian can't bow his head in prayer.

[Not even Canada is safe from their stupid.]

I live in Canada...and the homosexual agenda is alive and thriving here. When my youngest son was in grad 6...he had sex education...I gave my permission thinking it would be the basic sperm meets egg video...was I ever wrong!!the public health nurse who taught the course..(I found out later that she was a lesbian)...only focused on one topic...she told his mixed class that it was a beautiful thing to have a 'crush' on someone of the same sex...she also told them to embrace their feelings and go with them. This course went way beyond basic sex ed...she actually was trying to convince them to become gay...that it was the most loving and natural life style. Thankfully my son is a staunch little Christian and knows right from wrong...and he spoke out in class against her a few times. It is scary how fast the gay agenda has invaded every corner of our lives...and I know first hand...my brother-in-law is gay..and he professes to be a born again believer. In his 'religion' God loves gays maybe even more...because they are the most loving of all the peoples on earth...we have lovingly tried to show him scripture that he must come out of the lifestyle and stop his associations..and then if he wants and God leads him..he may have a ministry to the gay community...he denies that the bible speaks out against homosexuality! His motto is...'God is Love...Love is God...we are all God......now that is a scary religion.

...we were asked by a young girl on a sidewalk with a clipboard if we would give a few minutes to advocate gay rights. Well my daughter sped up her walking, and muttered, oh oh, this girl is asking the wrong person (me). So I said to her, absolutely not, that I am a bible believing Christian, and how wrong it is to be gay. But I said I had something for her (a track). She got a little nervous but firmly said no thankyou. I asked her if she cared about the salvation of her soul, she no, thanks. So I said as I walked away, I hope you like it hot!

(on the subject of Stan Lee creating an openly gay super hero)

okay, I am officially stupid now. I thought the whole point of a super hero was to be macho and have the ability to be a warrior! I thought being gay, at least for a man, was that they have feminine traits and therefore were NOT macho warriors! So, how in the world is a gay man going to be a super hero??? I don't get it!!! Maybe a lesbian since they present themselves as men.... oh, this is just all too confusing. It makes sense to me why God says it is wrong. It is tooooooo confusing to keep up with what trait is male and what trait is female....

Quote:
"Yes, I'm an Obama Supporter but that doesn't mean I support his abortion policy."

Auh, yeah, it most certainly does.

Those who marked their ballots for this guy willingly extended him the power to expand the horrendous deeds done in "little Auschwitzes" everywhere. Pretending the mass homicide of babies is just a peripheral issue hardly worth mentioning is not an option for a Christian.

[Re: Fstdt.com]

The thing that I don't understand is that they imagine all of us just sitting around waiting to be raptured while the rest of the world passes us by! We evidently have no lives to speak of....

*someone talking about their family coming out of the closet on Thanksgiving*

I would have lost it on her and her "friend". They come into MY house and disrespect my beliefs and values like that? They come sit at MY table and act in such an outrageous and offensive manner - announcing their perversion to our family when we're here trying to be thankful to God. Oh no. OUT! I would have kicked them out. Three seconds to get their coat and get out or I'm calling the police to get them off my property.

God would have to forgive me for yelling, because I would have lost it. That's just too much. People trying to pull that stuff on other people like that ...... unbelievable.

I can't read these threads on gays anymore. They're just making me too mad. They're so pushy and demanding that we all celebrate their sin with them.

They really aren't interested in marriage. What they want to do is destroy the archaic institutions that are a bulwark against a loose moralled society.

The LAST people on earth to want marriage are gays. They are the most promiscuous group in society. But if they disrupt and break down the traditional institutions, then they can more easily spread their ilk.

In the US, single parent households are 25%, but in Norway where they have gay marriage, 38% are single parent households.
http://finder.geocommons.com/overlays/1526

That's quite a greater breakdown with gay marriage allowed to subvert the value and sanctity of marriage. These gays are fighting excruciatingly hard for something they really have no intent on honoring themselves.

We are living in a very depressing season.

This subject is so close to my heart...since my brother-in-law is gay...he has wanted to take my sons...one at a time...during summer break...my sons are 13 and 15...I have been coming up with excuse after excuse...I truly am not afraid that my brother-in-law would ever touch them..but he lives in the heart of the gay section in his city..and he only goes to gay establishments...even his apartment only has gays in it...that makes me fearful for my sons....my brother-in-law tells me that "gays are not pedophiles and would never touch a child!!!' But I have to wonder since he started his dabbling at the age of 15! I love him, but I just can't accept his lifestyle. I know we live in an age where tolerance of almost every perversion is supposed to be cool...but in the bible it tells me something different....and I don't see tolerance for sin in the pages of that wonderful book...if we accept everything...and try not to rock anyones boat...then we have lost our witness completely. We need to witness to gays in a loving way..without hitting them over the head with the Word...but they need to hear what God thinks about their sexual choice.

Well I have a cousin who asked if she could bring a friend to our Thanksgiving dinner. I said sure no problem there is always enough. Well she came with her friend and she was very nice. Teaches at KU, very likeable. Well as the day progressed I asked my cousin if her husband was coming. She replied " well I have an announcement". "I am getting divorced and I am gay and this is my partner ___". Well needless to say I was floored as well as my dh. Nobody else was upset about it. Fast forward to 2 years ago. They wanted a baby so they ordered donor sperm and used a turkey baster ( will never use another one again) and well one got pregnant. Well the baby a boy has had several problems and been in the hospital alot. No one in my family believes me when I tell them God did not intend for women to have children using a turkey baster and maybe that has something to do with the little boy having so many troubles. Two women or two men can not create a baby and maybe people need to think that cheating God is not such a good idea. My family thinks I am nuts. Needless to say I do not host family Thanksgiving dinners anymore except for immediate family.

We were created for one purpose - to worship the Lord. "Salvation" is the gift of being in His presence for eternity doing what we were created to do.

I have always believed that George Bush was so 'demonized' by the press...simply because he is a Christian. He has his faults...but long ago, before he became President...he was on t.v with James&Betty...and he gave his testimony...and it brought me to tears..he told of the exact moment he gave his heart to Jesus... it wasn't scripted, or contrived..it was sincere..he talked about his drinking days as well...he is a man of morals...and he prays to the same God I pray to.....to be a true born again President is to bring the wrath of the unsaved minions of politics...I am only sad that this bill won't last past the inauguration of the 'messiah'.....I can see a time when if you refuse to do an abortion...you will be imprisoned...Obama HATES babies.

this was in response to a video about Jesus' return...

I showed it to my 6 year old daughter and was explaining to her that this was a person's interpretation of what heaven would look like. She was ECSTATIC....and wanted to die right now and go be with Jesus!

It seems likely to me that there wont be any more children after the Rapture, since with the faithful gone the satanist liberals will probably abort every conception. They get a kind of sick pleasure from it.
