Just starting to feel somewhat old.
1) Lots of aches and pains I never experienced before.
2) Getting up out of a chair or out of the car is a new challenge that I never expected.
3) Hair is thinning whilst turning a nice shade of gray-white that I rather like.
I guess I'll take it since I can't send it back. God has his reasons for the seasons of life. Ain't that poetic-like?
Linder i agree with you.In plain english it suks getting older.I was decent athlete when i was younger and didnt worry about hair falling out or getting grey.
I dont think what i just mentioned that was Gods plan.If A&E didnt disobey man had the prospect of living forever in an earth the human race could turn into a paradise.That plan will still happen cos God balanced the scales of justice by allowing Jesus to die and ransom the human race back to what it was like before A&E sinned.
Christendoms teachings make it sound like God wanted us to die and go to heaven or hell so i guess its good A&E sinned.<sarcasm>
Who the hec would want to obey a god like that?
Fortunately the TRUE God of the bible <Jehovah>is a God of love and his name means "He causes to become"IOW when he goes to do something you can be sure it will happen and his plan was to create mankind to love and serve him and him be their ruler.Of course we know A&E and satan threw a monkey wrench in that but if you read the VERY FIRST prophecy in the bible when God passes judgement on the serpent he said there would be enmity between the serpents seed and the woman <symbolic for Gods kingdom>
Satan would bruise the kingdom seed <Jesus>in the heel and Jesus would bruise him in the head.Now think about that?Yes the head brusie is a defining blow that puts satan LONG gone!!!
God created the earth to be inhabited says the bible and righteous will live forver on it.Yes 144000 are taken from the earth to rule as kings with Jesus.Zillions more will live on the earth under Gods kingdom ruling from heaven.Ya know,that line in the Lords prayer,Let your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
We grow old and die cos of inherited sin from A&E.But there is a hope.
Jesus told Pontious Pilate his kingdom was NOT of this world and scripture in John says the whole world lies in power of wicked one.Remember satan offered Jesus ALL the kingdoms of the world for an act of worship that Jesus told him to go take a hike.
Pretty simple for the 1000s of yrs of mans existence satan rules this world.He has been allowed to to see where the hearts of mankind are.Jehovah forces no one to love and obey him.But he made a way out for us to live forever under his rule in peace forever.
The great tribulation is on the horizon.Soon world governments will crush Babylon the Great <christendom>She has claimed to teach the bible....but doesnt.
