Of course it is spiritual

One of the greatest lies given to kids, repeated at teens, practiced as adults is that Satan is
a myth
or just a symbol
or resource created by people to rob others of their wealth, life or joys

Kin to this approach is spiritual is nothing short of mumbo-jumbo.

The reality is spiritual is at least as important as the physical. That the whole spiritual decision is the foundation to one’s inevitable immortality of either blessing or horror.

Things are only going to get MUCH MUCH worse.

Getting the record straight

Whitney is usually accurate but she blows it with her analysis of dispensationalism and no scriptural ref for the rapture. In ref to the rapture, the accurate term is the translation of the saints or the translation of the body of Christ. The translation first occurrence in scripture is when Enoch was translated by God and taken up with him. (Hebrews 11:5 and Genesis 5:24.) The doctrine of the translation of the body of Christ is taught in that those who are born again and thereby in the body of Christ will not suffer the wrath of God. (1 Thess 5:9;1 Thess 1:10; Romans 5:9) Wrath being in at least two instances: 1) the eternal wrath of God on the wicked 2) the wrath of God on those who rejected His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and chose to not believe God and His word about all the matters. The period of wrath the ends with the great tribulation. (1 Thess 4:13-18; 1 Thess 5:1-11; 2 Thess 1:7-12; 2 Thess 2:1-12.)
In type or symbolism, their are instances of the event of the translation/rapture of the body of Christ for example in the NT the apostle John has been understood by many students of the Bible as a “type” of the church/the body of Christ because of his continued ref to himself as the one whom Jesus loved (John 13:23, 19:26, 20:2, 21:7 & 20) (Christ loved the church: Eph 5:2, 25, 32). In the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the first 3 chapters of the book we read over and over of the presence, actions and Jesus’ analysis of the churches in Asia Minor. With this understanding in chapter 4 verse 1 John is immediately taken/translated from the earth and is in Heaven witnessing the future events and during this time we see no further references to the church as the events of the tribulation and great tribulation are rolled out on the earth and recorded for the reader. The church is gone from the earth = the body of Christ is gone from the earth. Why? It was taken up/translated/raptured. So yes their is plenty of evidence of the doctrine of the translation/rapture of the body of Christ.

BTW, sadly this post was needed because the poster of the video TFTC removed not only the short comment (see above) but also my reply to a commenter where I simply wrote, “I agree see my comment”.

TRAVESTY

A place called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which in name is great but when you look over the list of performers enshrined as such crucial and impactful people in the history of Rock and Roll, you quickly come to WTF?

There is a band that comes to my mind and may I dare “say” hundreds of thousands would agree that is tragically missing from the museum.
There is a band which many a band refers to as inspirational to their own group’s tapestry and foundation of what has made them take the musical road for a lifetime.
There is a band that has songs that are brought in and weaved into movie soundtracks.
There is a band that does not have the nod of a bunch of tossers so they aren’t in what is supposed to be a museum not of Rock and Roll only but TO ROCK AND ROLL.
And lets bring up again that this is the museum that waited until 2013 to give the nod to RUSH.
The band that is missing?

Just a few of the performers that are in the R&R HOF. Yes the R&R HOF that Thin Lizzy is not recognized in:
BEE GEES
HARRY BELAFONTE
THE BLUE CAPS
RUTH BROWN
SOLOMON BURKE
THE CARS
CHICAGO
THE COMETS
THE CURE
THE DELLS
DONOVAN
DUANE EDDY
EURYTHMICS
EMINEM
THE FAMOUS FLAMES
THE FLAMINGOS
FRANKIE LYMON AND THE TEENAGERS
THE GO-GOs
GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE
AL GREEN
ALLEN GRUBMAN
GREEN DAY
HEART
THE IMPRESSIONS
WHITNEY HOUSTON
THE ISLEY BROTHERS
WILLIE NELSON
DOLLY PARTON
TRAFFIC
STEVIE WONDER
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
AND MANY OTHERS

That short list of performers (not knocking them as performers); just providing a baseline. We are really supposed to believe that they each have impacted R&R much more than Thin Lizzy.
REALLY??
