Is it a Terrible Thing to Want Jesus To Come Now?

[Mr.Mad]

That is exactly His plan....to a point. When the last person gets saved that willingly accepts Him as their personal Lord and Savior, Bam....we're outta here.

I absolutely love what you said here.... Bam Im ready to gooooo!!

 

[LisaLisa]

BAM! BAM!!!!!!! I'm ready too!!!!!!!!! LOL!

Rom 13:10-11

10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

We're close brothers and sisters.

Let's kick it up a notch Dad! (The final trump sounds)

I really think we are close too. I think if we knew how close we really were, we'd be going out and buying some adult diapers or something. You know what I mean?

I actually told my preacher that I just don't want to be in the bathroom when Jesus comes to get us. He looked at me like I had 3 heads, then told me it wouldn't matter where I was, as the important thing was being one of the kids of the Kingdom. He didn't put it that simply.....he was more preacher about it.

I follow your line of reasoning SC....Holy C..P!

I am looking upward more often these days....I think it's because I'm on this forum too much LOL!

Me too! I kick tobacco and am now addicted to this website.....actually this part of the website. Love it!

04_srt, One of your points is valid:

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Rom 11:25
... that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

But Longing for the return of Jesus: is spoken of:

Rom 8:23
And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

1 Cor 1:7
so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Phil 3:201 Cor 1:7
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

2 Pet 3:121 Cor 1:7
looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

We don't wish that Jesus would come early and that some will be lost who wouldn't be as a result of it. We long for all that will be saved to be so that Jesus can come and take us home.

Is it odd that we would want to have all of this behind us and be in Heaven with our Lord? No.

But understanding that while we are still here, there is much to do in His name, we still cry (from revelation 22) Come Lord Jesus, come!

Hallelujah!!!!! Come Lord Jesus, come! Oh! how the spirit leaps within me at the sound of that HOLY beckoning!!!!!

In an instant (BAM!).. in the twinkling of an eye, we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed!

AMEN Blonde! Sometimes the people in the world just don't get the big picture. There is nothing me or you can do to stop child abuse, to stop children from being abducted, raped and killed, of the mass genocide going on in other countries. There is nothing me or you can do to stop owners from abusing their animals. These are things that go on behind closed doors, but God sees all. The only thing we can do is pray constantly for the wickness to come to an end, quickly.

Jesus called for us to be fishers of men, and spreading the gospel is more important then anything else, especially in these last days.

I'm just sooooo sick of the evil in this world, it's almost too much to bear.

Jesus' main message was about loving eachother and helping eachother. When asked which commandment do we have to follow to get into heaven He said something like (correct me if I am wrong) "if you follow any of the commandments let it be love thy neighbor. Yes we must spread his word. Also we are supposed to visit people in jail. We must try to do all of his bidding. But you are right lisa some people don't like to talk to others that much. So they might work in a soup kitchen. Some might fear visiting prisoners so They preach. This is why we are all made different.

Is it terrible to want him to come now? I don't think it is. But I would rather him wait a little while. I don't think I am ready (worthy) for him yet.

In the "love God and your neighbor as yourself" statement, Jesus reissued the 10 commandments minus 1. God has not changed in the way He wishes us to be toward Him and other people.

I didn't say God changed in any way? I don't know if that was in response to my post or not.

Do you want to donate that PRS to a fella who is going to be playing for his church? I know the lord would love you if you did. Well I might be lying a little, but I know I would love you if you did. Lol

Okay.....I'll bite. What's a 513? Some sort of instrument?

 

[Mr.Mad]

The only thing I have right now... Is the promise of salvation and this sinful flesh Im stuck in. I am so ready to go. Its a wonderful thing understanding and accepting his gift, now I cant understand why I resisted it so long. All I want to do is share what I have found with the entire world. With the coming evil I have been trying to explain in other forums, there is no escape from the evil except through Jesus Christ (Yahweh, Yashua) our flesh is how Satan controls us.
