••••IF GOD WOULD LET YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE CONTROL ON WHEN THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST HAPPENED?....••••
????---IS IT BETTER NOT KNOWING WHEN CHRIST RETURNS AGAIN, OR NOT?••••
•••HERE ARE YOUR INNER THOUGHTS•••
---From RAY:
...I REALLY DON'T WANT CONTROL OVER THE DECISION BUT I WANT TO BE READY. I DON'T THINK ANY HUMAN HAS THE BRAINS TO KNOW WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. IT ISN'T GONNA HAPPEN THAT WAY BECAUSE OF THAT VERY FACT. GOD KNOWS ALL. WE WILL NEVER KNOW ALL. I AM THANKFUL THAT HE IS IN CONTROL.
JUST THINKING ABOUT HEAVEN REALLY EXCITES ME, AND I AM BLESSED TO KNOW IN MY HEART THAT I AM ONE OF THOSE THAT WILL GO WITH JESUS WHEN HE MAKES THAT "TWINKLING OF AN EYE" PICK UP....AND DELIVERY TO HEAVEN...
---From CLAUDIA:
I WOULD BE HUMBLED, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WOULD BE, REALLY....I DON'T THINK I COULD HANDLE THAT DECISION....ONLY GOD KNOWS...ONLY HE WILL KNOW....NO DISCUSSION....HE MADE US, HE LET US LIVE OUR "FREE WILL" LIFE..THEN HE WILL LOOK AT THAT FINAL SCORE CARD....AND THAT WILL BE THE WHOLE STORY...GOD IS GOD...AND WE ARE WAY BENEATH HIM, BUT HE LOVES US AND IF WE FOLLOW HIS SIMPLE RULES, BE CAN BE WITH HIM, SOMEDAY....SOMEDAY SOON, I HOPE...
---From GEARLD:
WOW...WHAT A QUESTION!!! THE ANSWER I HAVE IS HOW COULD A HUMAN DECIDE WHAT TIME WAS BEST FOR ALL OF MANKIND....I AM SURE THERE ARE THOSE THAT WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO HAVE THAT MUCH CONTROL.....THE HUMAN BRAIN WAS NOT MADE WITH THE CAPAPBILITY OF MAKING SUCH AN IMPORTANT DECISION. SOMETHINGS, MANY THINGS, WE HAVE TO LEAVE TO GOD. EVEN IF HE ALLOWED US TO SAY "when" HOW MANY OF US COULD EVEN DO IT? THEN WHAT POINT WOULD THERE BE TO GOD EVER BEING IN CHARGE ANYTIME, OR EVEN WHY HE WOULD HAVE CREATED US IN THE FIRST PLACE, IF HE WERE JUST GOING TO GIVE US AWAY. HE LOVES HIS CREATION WAY TOO MUCH FOR THAT TO HAPPEN...
---From DENISE:
I HAVE MANY IN MY FAMILY THAT AREN'T READY. WOULD HE LET ME LOOK AT THAT BIG BOOK OF HIS AND FIND OUT WHO WAS GOING TO HEAVEN OR HELL? THAT IS TOO BIG FOR ME TO EVEN THINK OR GIVE MUCH OF AN OPINION ON...MAYBE LET ME THINK ABOUT IT FOR A LONG, LONG TIME AND I COULD GIVE YOU A BETTER ANSWER....
---From ALICE:
I WOULD HOPE IF GOD GAVE ME THOSE POWERS HE WOULD ALSO GIVE ME A CHOICE OF WHO I WANTED TO GIVE REDEMPTION TOO AND WHO I WOULD TURN MY BACK ON....A HUMAN DOES NOT EVEN BEGIN TO KNOW HOW TO THINK THAT DEEP. BUT IF WE WERE JUST SUPPOSING...I WOULD MAKE SURE I WAS ON THE LIST, THEN MY FRIENDS, FAMILY, IN FACT, HEAVEN WOULD BE REALLY CROWDED BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK OF A SINGLE PERSON THAT I WOULD WANT TO SEND TO ENTERAL DAMNATION IN HELL...YET, GOD HAS TO MAKE THAT DECISION WHEN HE FINALLY SAYS IT IS TIME....THAT IS WHY HE IS GOD...HE KNOWS BEST....
---From DAVID:
I WAS CRAWLING ACROSS THE NET AND CAME ACROSS YOUR WEBSITE, AND THIS QUESTION....HUM....I AM NOT TRYING TO BE A WISE GUY, BUT IT WOULD BE PRETTY NEAT, I THINK, TO HAVE THAT MUCH POWER. I AM NOT SUPER RELIGIOUS OR SPIRITUAL WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD WANT GOD LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER OR NOT...I MEAN, I THINK THEIR IS A GOD, AND IF HE SAID --HEY, DAVID, "SAY WHEN!" I DON'T THINK I COULD DO IT....I REALLY DON'T THINK I WOULD KNOW HOW OR WHAT TO DO...BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO HEAVEN.....MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK AT YOUR WEBSITE AND BE FOR SURE ABOUT MYSELF BEFORE GOD SENDS BACK FOR ME OR US OR WHATEVER....
---From BRENDA:
I would not want the decision about when the second coming of Jesus would be.
I would not want it!
There is no way my mind could see what is in God's plan and when it would be best to come.
He knows all and knows best.
I would hope no one would want to take that decision from God.
---From ISAAC:
I would not want the responsibility that is on the Lord....to decide when the second coming is upon us...All I want is to be is in that number...to say this is the day you will be lifted but not your sister or brother is enough to make my hair white...
So God knows what HE is about and what is to take place.
We should be ready at all times, and we should at least tell others about it so we are about our fathers business, like we are supposed to be.so as many as will hear and take heed will be ready no matter what day it is that the Lord will return.
No matter if it is night,or afternoon,as long as we are ready for the time of Jesus' return.
Honestly...
I couldn't do it.
NO WAY!!!!
---From CANDICE:
WOW....I THINK ABOUT THAT IDEA THAT GOD LET ME BE IN THAT MUCH CONTROL....MY FIRST THOUGHTS AS A HUMAN ARE SELF CENTERED, SELFISH, I WOULD, FOR SURE, MAKE SURE THAT I WAS PROMOTED TO HEAVEN...THEN, THE BRAINWORK WOULD SET IN, I DON'T THINK I COULD PULL IT OFF.
IT WOULD ALL FALL APART, BECAUSE I AM JUST A HUMAN, AND EVEN THOUGH I LIKE TO THINK ABOUT HAVING THE POWER AGAINST GOOD AND EVIL. I THINK GOD WOULD MAKE THE BEST CHOICES...BUT I REALLY DO WANT HIM TO PICK ME OUT OF THE BUNCH THAT GETS TO GO....
---From BILL:
I Am Sorry, Ken, but this is a silly question. God created Us we did not create God...I can't think of a single reason why after thousands of years...why...would He just back a way and let any of Us be in charge.....So...I guess my answer is NO......I want GOD in charge of My Life and the billions of lives all over...
---From GAIL:
GIVE ME THOSE GOLDEN WINGS!....I WILL TRY THEM ON AND SEE IF I CAN FLY AROUND AND DO BETTER. RIGHT NOW, THE WORLD IS IN A MESS. I MAY NOT DO ANY BETTER, BUT AT LEAST IT WOULD BE MY PICKS....DO I SOUND WRONG? BUT AFTER ALL THIS IS JUST "A QUESTION" SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN...SO SURE, GIVE ME THE SPIRITUAL WAND AND I WILL SEND US ALL THERE....SERIOUSLY, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE IN CHARGE!???!!!
SOMETIMES I GET TIRED OF THE WAY THINGS ARE IN THIS WORLD....AND THE NEXT WORLD, I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE WORSE....MAYBE, GOD IS THE EASIEST PLAN...BUT YOU PUT THESE THOUGHTS IN MY MIND BY ASKING THE QUESTION.
I AM SURE ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL GASP AT MY RESPONSE, BUT AT LEAST, I AM BEING TRUTHFUL AS A HUMAN CAN BE.
I HAVE PROBABLY SAID ENOUGH.....I LOVE UPLIFTERLAND, AND I HOPE THIS WILL HELP OTHERS WITH THEIR OWN WAY OF THINKING KNOW YOU CAN STEP UP AND SAY YOUR MIND....WHATEVER!!!!
