The way to heaven is very simple and easy

[DNoonan]

On Thursday, Aug 17, 2017 the Spirit of the Lord came upon me. I felt peace like I had never felt before. My breathing was so rhythmic and relaxed, and I felt zero afflictions. It was so peaceful that it was almost uncomfortable, since all we know is a life full of afflictions. I stayed up for a few hours and then went to bed. The next day on Friday, God revealed wisdom to me that I had never had before. I left the house and immediately felt like my soul was leaving my body. I felt that I was bound to die in a car crash right then. I felt sad, even though I had prayed everyday for 20 years for God to take me. I started sobbing, and then it hit me that I did not have to keep going. I turned the car around, and the feeling immediately vanished. Very late Fri night, I felt the same feeling of my soul leaving my body. I sat on the couch, and an intense high like anesthesia came over me. I just felt that God was taking me, and he was numbing me first. I was sobbing and asking the Lord to let me live. I had made it this far, and I wanted to go in the rapture and not just then. Nevertheless, I said to the Lord, your will be done. I was almost certain that it was my time, but the anesthesia was kicking in. I went to bed with tears in my eyes thinking about my family, but I felt this was the end. The drug like effect made it impossible to stay awake, so I crashed, feeling that I was never going to wake up. 4 hours later, I woke up in a deep sweat, and I couldn't believe I was still alive. I got up eager to live and thankful that God had spared me. Saturday night about 6 pm an intense high came upon me. I have never done hard drugs, but my entire body felt like what I imagined heroin would feel like. It lasted for a couple hours. I didn't know exactly what it meant, but I figured that the rapture was coming on the Monday eclipse, and that all believers would be getting the feeling I had. The high went away and I went to bed. Sunday morning there were prayers answered in miraculous ways. I then went for a drive on the highway in the afternoon. It felt like God took the wheel and was driving the car. Well, it didn't feel like it....He was driving my car. It was so absurd that I couldn't believe it. I was like WTF, God, are you asking me to lay back and go to sleep and let you take me to my destination and park my car for me? Then I felt called to pray for the rapture. So I did. I just said "Lord, we've waited our whole lives for you to rescue us from this dark world. There is nothing here but darkness, take us home." I was going 70 mph and a huge butterfly flew towards my windshield in slow motion. It kissed my windshield and flew away, leaving a trail of light. I looked to my right, and there was a church with a sign flashing TRUST JESUS in rainbow colors. Immediately, a song came on the radio that was the most beautiful song I had ever heard. The words were YOU ARE THE TRUTH.

is it possible that you have a roommate or something that slips you an edible every now and then?

I'm a believer in a creator, I even believe in good and evil. I wont mock you guys like some others here, as I'm man enough to say I don't know what happens after this, and you may be right. But everything in my gut is telling me that there is something wrong with people/souls being tortured for an eternity simply for not believing or subscribing to a certain dogma of absolutes. Everything in my character is telling me there is no honor in that. You might say that's just the devil whispering in my ear, but I don't think so. Some say that the devils greatest trick was convincing everyone that he doesn't exist, but I don't know about that. His greatest trick might be that of convincing everyone that eternal torture for simply not knowing, is some how righteous, and just about every religion has there own version of this. I want nothing to do with it.

I'm not sure why people waste their time with these sorts of threads.

I've never once seen someone change their mind from a debate about God/Religion/How the universe was created, etc on a forum.

Agreed, they post this crap because they are weak mentally and need to believe this trash to get through their life's.

Re-read the entire thread and read my entire Twitter page.

Chazz,

The Bible doesn't teach eternal conscious torment. That is a doctrine that came more from pagan Greek philosophy (Plato) and Dante's inferno.

The Jews have/had no concept of hell as eternal torment. The Pope just came out and said there is no hell, and many Protestant theologians are following suit.
Annihilationism is now the official position of the Anglican Church (Church of England).

I believe the Bible teaches that there is punishment for the "unsaved" at death, but it is just, temporary - and then as the Bible teaches in many places, the
person ceases to exist.

Look up "annihilationism" and "conditional immortality"

The most famous verse in the Bible says that the gift of God in salvation is being able to live eternally, and the others will *perish* - not be tormented forever.

John 3:16

Illini, I too believe in God - so I don't want you to view me as someone mocking you - but if you truly are having visions or these utterly bizzare feelings you need to see a psychiatrist and get help - I'm being serious - they can help you

Agree. With all of this.

Just because you believe in God and the message of Jesus, does not mean you are immune to serious mental issues.

Imagine if the Jesus clan had Facebook &Twitter back in them there Holy days. Do Lions and Tigers and Hamsters thump a bible? Humans biggest issue in our evolution is we became too intelligent for our own good and just engage in war/slaughter/rape of those that do not agree.

I think the same thing. I had bought a King James bible, tried to read it and it was like reading Shakespeare just couldn't get through it. I picked up a paraphrased version and it was a pretty easy read, I've read the whole thing, and have come out thinking a lot differently from what the Christians I know believe.

Your God doesn't exist.

 

[DesertDevil]

Your God doesn't exist.

My God does. I'm washed by the same blood that you are.

And I think you need to seek some help, Bro.

 

[DesertDevil]

What is written is what is written.

Thinking you have some special connection to make calls on when the rapture will occur is way out there.

You are not any more special than the rest of us. Just calling it like it is. I'm not your enemy.

I'm not going to argue with someone who hasn't been touched by God or doesn't have Jesus in him but I can tell you with 100% certainty that just like my girlfriend she has visions of events that come to fruition in the future. It's not mental illness. Like Illini mentioned he's very close to God. Amazing things happen when you've got a great personal relationship with him. Please feel free to mock me if it makes you feel better which by the way doesn't bother me in the least because God wants me to spread the word. I'll pray for you! God bless.

Ive been touched by God my whole life. I exist. I already stated I'm washed by the same blood.

I'm not mocking anyone. Miracles happen. No doubt.

But when it comes to people thinking they can call the Rapture? I'm sorry. This is not healthy.

I can tell you that it's very possible to have visions of the rapture but not know the exact end date. I don't think Illini ever claimed that He knew exactly the end date. He said based on his vision this may be the end. There's a big difference.

I think you need to reread what you wrote. You're mocking him. Please feel free to read what I wrote regarding this.

Listen to yourself.

Anyone that believes thinks it could happen any day. You. I. All of us.

The fact that anyone can predict it is nonsense.

David Koresh bullshit.

Best part about the thread it that it was basically just a giant advertisement for homeboy's twitter account.

That's 1 way to get a few followers if that is what you desire I suppose, can't knock the hustle.
