In the passage where I got that from, if I'm mot mistaken, the word "confess" means to agree with...IOW I agree that Jesus is my Lord and I believe in my heart God raised Him from the dead.


We’re on the same page! I just have trouble agreeing when I don’t understand the context of words…. I am not being intentionally difficult. I do more than believe, I know.

Just a terrifying thought.

You ought to read the Trumpet and Bowl judgments in the Book of Revelation. I'm REALLY glad we won't be here for that.

No problem. Many times the English word doesn't convey the whole meaning of the original word in the text.

It does indeed sadden one, what is currently going on in this country. But, as long as you seek God's path and follow His word, on a personal level you will be protected. That doesn't necessarily mean the country as whole will be protected. It depends on whether God is fed up enough to pass judgement, or decides He is not through with America as yet

But don't forget that God is longsuffering and His will is that no one should perish.

Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, that a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9

I recently read some time lines in the Bible….. confusing. Do you know any of this?

Does the Bible say how long it took for S& G to piss off GOD.

The Bible says that God is long suffering and not willing that any should perish, but all would come to repentance. People should remember that if you follow God's word, judgement for you will be your reward

Yes, I know!!!! But enough is enough!!!! It is always the just that suffer the consequences! And no, I am not concerned about me….We have been on the wrong path for a long time…. I could be wrong but I do not see an amicable resolution! They are doubling down on Stupid! Just a thought.

You will never receive your reward on earth. It only seems that the just are the ones who suffer. God does keep score. The wicked will not profit forever. But it is God's plan and timeline. Faith is knowing God doesn't make mistakes, He loves His children, and when it is right God will settle things to His satisfaction...which is the exact right way to do it.

Yes, “ All is always as it should Be”! No, they will not get away with anything….but we do have an obligation to do more then sit on the fence.

Yes God requires His servants to stand against wickedness. But it will be His timeline that ends it, not ours. And while we cannot demand that God fix things just because we are fed-up, we can, (and He wants us to,) turn to Him in prayer and let Him know how we feel.
