I'm no going to pretend to be 'religious' (I just love the Lord), but the Creation was indelibly changed at the Fall. The wages of sin was not only death, but the 'thorns' have brought forth heartbreak, disease, illness, and pain throughout the Creation as it groaneth with the hopeful expectation of Christ's return - and the expectation of the new Heaven and the new Earth.

Yes, bad stuff happens. But if nothing else - let this be a blessing and a warning. A blessing to help and pray for those who have had such great losses, and a warning that our lives are like vapor - here one moment, and gone the next. And knowing today might be our last day that Salvation is offered - the message for all of us is: 'What think ye of Christ?' When the end comes where will your heart be?

That is my opinion on the rapture too.

Every time someone dies it is a rapture.

A huge one just happened in India.

Poof in a blinking of an eye, gone, they are now in eternity.

Just my opinion.

Very well said.

My question back to the MSM and various nonbelievers who are now invoking god (small g) in one way or another is this: Why all of a sudden are you so worried about religion?

IMHO, they are doing nothing but launching hit pieces against Christians....

Tonight many idiots will shoot guns in the air...and somewhere an innocent victim minding their business will be affected...whether it brings death or destruction...it is a shame that in a matter of a second it can all end. You are right...live a good life and help the others to have the same...
