Separated from the world? (Christians only please)?
489331
People get caught up in carnal pleasures, and approval from the world.  It's easy to seek earthly things, they are here and now. Just like Adam and Eve had the whole of Eden to live in and walk in the cool of the day with the Lord, but choose instead the lie of Satan, we are still being deceived. It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit can we overcome the "old man". \nOf course God's approval in most important. His Word should be our life map. be blessed

Jesus while on the earth was lesser for the sake of the father...he came and humbled himself to be in human form...They were definitely seperated at that time...When Jesus stated My God My God why hasst thou forsaken me? God could not look upon sin proves the point that while on the earth in human form Christ was seperated from the whole of God so all things that were with the father were not apparent to the son.

Keep preaching it, brother. If there were more Christians as bold as you are in the world, we could get some things done! I do beleive that Christ will come back. As far as how many signs will happen- If you mean before he comes back the first time, Look in Matthew 24 of the Bible. If I can remember, there's some end times prophecy there. There is supposed to be more deaths and natural disasters. Also, some people think that most of Europe switching its currency to the Euro is a foundation for when the Antichrist will set up his seven year reign on earth and change to a worldwide currency. I hope you can find what you need. You might ask your pastor if he know any more end times prophecies that you can look up in the Bible. I HIGHLY recommend the Left Behind series. I have only read the kids' version, but even if you are an adult and want an easy read that isn't as terrifying as the adult ones, the kids ones are GREAT! Keep walking on the narrow path and never forget that Christ will never tempt you beyond what you can bear, and he will always be there! \n\nYour sister in Christ,\n"saved by His grace"

Most churches (methodist, episcopal, presbyterian), broke away from the catholic church at one time or another over traditions, ceremonies and beliefs that were added to what the Bible taught. Everybody had their on idea of how to do it. The Baptist and Congregational churches separated from them because we accept only the Bible as our guide - traditions are not as important as the Bible.  And we believe that a personal relationship with Jesus is what makes one a Christian - not being a member of a church.

Well, I'm not one of those Christians, so I can't really speak for them. If you have sensed that they fear you, I don't get it. I do know some Christians that feel they should disassociate themselves with non-Christians just because they don't have anything in common if they don't even believe in the same God. Also, many families want their kids to be close to other Christians because being around people who believe differently can open up issues that they feel would not come up if they only hang out with Christians. However, only hanging out with kids who go to church won't necessarily keep your kids from sin. Where do you think I learned all of my dirty jokes? (Christian School!) I think, though, that we need to accept those who feel they should be separate....as long as they are the ones to leave the public area instead of them trying to keep others who are different out. Did that make any sense?

well not real sure about this. the bible speaks of divorce not seperation.. so i would have to say NO it is not the same in His eyes... a serperation is just leaving for awhile and divorce is giving up and leaving forever.. but , remember, the bible allows divorce for certain things.... God bless

You're probably right. Jesus said these thing would happen. Don't think it's right to speculate on when the end will come, after all, there are countries in the world where churches are burned down and Christians are killed for their beliefs, and these things have always happened. It's always felt like the end times to someone somewhere. As the Day approaches, satan knows he is running out of time so he steps up the pace. But read the end of the book, WE WIN! Keep the faith. Pray for your church.

there are really selfish people in the world today. I do believe in taking care of the ones around you before anyone else. Reality check do people keep updated on disaters and over seas missions? if so are they true. It's just the waty the world is today. More people need to turn their eyes back on their creator Lord God Almighty. What if people had to live back in those days,they wouldn't make it.

No one knows when the end of time will be, only God the Father does. The Bible says He will come like a thief in the night. It also states He will return at a time when we wouldn't think it would happen. That is why I try to point as mant people to Jesus as I can. Time is running out, we are one day closer to being"HOME." There is nothing in the Bible taht must be fulfilled in order for Jesus to return. We need to stop looking for signs, and start listening for the "sound". He shall appear with a mighty trumpet blast, and call His children home. As a Christian, I cannot wait...it's gonna be wonderful. I am worried about the lost, however. It's my sincere prayer that all will call upon the name of the Lord to be saved.

i'm pretty sure you know the Christian view... this is something i've been thinking about a good bit lately - Genesis talks about 'when a man leaves his parents and basically takes a wife... they live together and become one.. sorry - paraphrasing i dont like... i'll add more as i research\nI'm curious more because of the jewish prophecy concerning the messiah; of a virgin, yet of the line of David. \n& my head hurts.

2 Thess. talks about a great apostasy, or falling away from the faith. However the book of Acts talks about a great revival. There will be an apostasy in the West, with Islam filling the void of Christianity in Europe, and a revival in the undevoloped countries. We can do missions in Europe, but I believe that many of their hearts are hardened to the gospel already.  : (

I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I AM PROUD OF IT! \nGod made the earth and all the things in it, and he does in fact exsist! There is no excuse for not believing! THE BIBLE IS A TRUE BOOK! And all of you say that religion starts wars.. well there are wars in the world because of sin. If everyone in the world was a christian, then there wouldn't be a problem. But people aren't all christians, and frankly, i think that's sad. People are bickering over The pledge of alligence now, and whether or not we should leave the "one nation under God" statement in it and i definitely think we should! Our country was found based on christianity! The pledge ect. has always had those words in there, and that's the way it should stay!!!! \nI am a christian because that is the right way to be, and i am proud of it!

Yes, that makes partial sense. Except for the God part. I believe that he is separate from us. He is outside of space and time and is not in our dimension.

You say that you "can't wait for all these christians to be gone." But ... What if we're still here and you're gone?\n==========================================\nTO: jacartamonkey\n\nNo, I know nothing about you. However, based on your statement that you "can't wait for all these christians to be gone." It sounds like that you think you and the Christians will not be in the same place. \n\nYour statement is based on the belief that Christians will be removed and others remain; mine is based on the fact that Christians remain and wicked are removed. NOT saying you are wicked, but just going by what you said.

Greek are you? I believe everyone, Christians included have become more and more of this world instead of trying to keep themselves in touch with God or their loved ones. How many of us only see our families (extended) once or twice a year. When I was a child my father and my uncle spent a great deal of time together and his 3 boys and I and my 2 sisters would play and have a great time. Today I live 30 miles from 1 sister and only see her a couple of times a year. I think God intended us to spend more time cultivating our relationship with Him and with our family and instead we cultivate our wallets. When do we take our families back and leave the worldly things to the world to handle?

Nope, not just you.  People are getting crazy!  It terrifies me to see these scary, force-feeding, frenzied christians (generally at their most scary when evangelising), but you've just got to remember that that was never what God wanted and seek a personal relationship with him and your saviour Jesus Christ - the people that do it wrong don't have to be the be all and end all - be your own Christian!
