If you are a Believer of God's word, this is all that is needed! YES, that He is coming again....just like He said He would! And, whether you believe it, or not, doesn't make it any less true. Fact!! All of His predictions concerning His first coming came true, why shouldn't you believe in His second coming? Matthew 24:35: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away . . ."
So friends, today I ask you in the most humblest, sincere way I can come to you: "Should Jesus come today, tonight, is it well with your soul"? It's your responsibility to know your fate!!
Betsey
that's where you lost me, twisting the definition of "fact" to be "because I said so"

RESPONSE:
There are numerous promises in the synoptic gospels and one in Paul's Thesslonians saying that Jeus would return during the lifetime of those in his generation ("those standing here, etc).
Acts 2
[40] And with many other words did he [Peter] testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
[41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
That's right - save yourselves from this worldly self-centered mindset, and the ungodliness of the shallow threats of religion. That's the real message. That's what I'm promoting.
End timers are actually trying to save people from God.
I'm going with Betsey seems to be spreading a happy message and she seems to care,so therefore,I give her the smilies. I don't know when Jesus will return,matters not to me if it's tomorrow or 10,000 yrs from now.just looking on the bright side.
Amen!
Betsey knows that I know that she is not a bad person at all - quite the opposite. We do have some really conflicting understandings about reality.
Obviously she's a sweetheart but I can't help but try to set the record straight when I see these kinds of ideas being promoted - as they have been for thousands of years.
The real power of the gospel is the call to the joy of oneness with the Father, not the "turn or burn" gospel promoted by some fundamentalists end timers. I know most mean well though, most of the rank and file followers that is. The leaders getting rich off this stuff... not so much.
I understand fb have to give you a smilie,too. and IA about the ones making money off this...it's a venture,for sure.
only thing I would add is,don't forget the 'get right or get left behind' scare tactics..the ones where you will have to get your head lopped off in order to be saved in the trib,and if you got the darned mark,then you're doomed anyway...ugh...
