Question

CHRISTIANS I need your help (SAVED CHRISTIANS ONLY)?
Okay so I'm a born again christian or saved as you may call it. I got baptized again and I'm trying to live a good life and do good deeds as Jesus wants us to. I like helping people. I started to read the book of revelations and noticed a lot of things are starting to happen or are going to happen one day and probably in this generation that we are apart of. This NWO or The great tribulation has made me fear so bad that I can't sleep or think because it's not that I don't want to die for christ or anything but it's about the people who will suffer like family, or friends and me. Also everyone is scared of physical pain and it says in the bible to resist the mark of the beast but what if your tortured, isn't that so much that you might even fall for it. Didn't God say he would give you more than you can handle. It kind of scares me on what me might endure but I love Christ and want to be with him so it's the ONLY option. How do I get over this fear christians. Please help me. and I don't believe in the rapture because I have a bible and nowhere in the bible does it say we will be gone or taken up during it. HA, I wish. Hard times people.

PS. Jesus was also scared to die. :( I wish I didn't have to be apart of it. But the good thing is for the ones who survive the whole thing through is that you get to see Jesus come and whoop satans stupid a** and throw all those evil doers in hell. You guys get to see him and that is probably worth it all. Even though it's great the rest before that happens is SCARY. :( HELP.

Also I asked this question and I don't want to be viewed as cocky. I want all of us to go to heaven and sorry if it's getting annoying. I just want as many answers as possible. I LOVE when all christians get together and share and talk but it bothers me when the immature and ignorant come in and give their two sense when I didn't ask them. So if your an atheist or just someone making fun of this please READ and leave and press the red box that has a X to the right side at the top of your screen. Thank you.

Answer 1

Well first off I don't believe Jesus was afraid to die. He wanted the cup to pass him because he knew what he had to endure but it was not fear. The bible also tell us not to be afraid of the endtimes.



Here are some verses telling us not to be afraid



Matthew 24: The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age





3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a]these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.



John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.



Hebrews 13:6

So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"



Revelation 2:10

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.



Hebrews 13:5

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."



God will never leave us nor forsake us that is a promise. He will be with us in the hour of trouble. Trust him to get you through whatever comes. Yes it will be difficult in those times but the Holy Spirit will be our comforter and our strength. God bless you and thanks for asking this question

Answer 2

You are correct the Bible does not mention the word "rapture". However the Bible does say in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 that "we (Born-again, saved believers) which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." Vs. 18, "Wherefore comfort one another with these words." The Church/Body of Christ (born-again, saved) will not go through the "tribulation". We will be caught out beforehand. John is a type of the Church and is caught up in Revelation 4:1 - before the tribulation. If you've trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you won't go through the great tribulation which is God's wrath poured out on the earth. "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thess. 5:9.

More references for the "Rapture" available upon request.

Answer 3

God has promised never to leave us nor forsake us (Matthew 28:19-20, Joshua 1:5-9) Just as God delivered Daniel from the lion's den and just as God delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego from the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 3), so God will deliver His people. Remember, even though Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were thrown in the furnace they were not burned, in fact there was a fourth who stood with them, and that fourth is Jesus.

May God bless you as you study His word!

Answer 4

I'm scared too but there is really nothing that us Christians can do except spread the word of God to as many as we can before Jesus comes back. According to one of my former Bible teachers, the more you read the Bible, the more you will get to know and feel Christ's love and love him back. If you love him enough you should be able to make that sacrifice, all of should.

Answer 5

I believe that we don't need to worry too much, I believe that Jesus won't make us suffer and he will keep us safe through the hard times. When the end comes, don't think of it as the end of humanity or don't think of it as we're all going to die or whatever, think of it as the ticket to go home. I'm a little scared too, but I have enough faith that it'll all work out well in the end. :]

Answer 6

"And pray ye without ceasing in behalf of other men; for there is hope of the repentance, that they may attain to God. For 'cannot he that falls arise again, and he may attain to God.'" Ignatius of Antioch, To the Ephesians, 10 ( A.D. 110).



Romans 8:24 In HOPE we were saved

Eph 2:5-8 By GRACE you have been saved through Faith

2 Tim 1:9 He saved us, called us, according to His Grace

Tit 3:5 He save us through the bath of rebirth, renewal by the Holy Spirit

Phil 2:12 Work out your Salvation in Fear and Trembling

1 Pet 1:9 As you attain the goal of your faith, salvation

Mt 10:22 he who ENDURES to the END will be saved

Mt 24:13 he who perserveres to the END will be saved.



"Watch for your life's sake. Let not your lamps be quenched, nor your loins unloosed; but be ye ready, for ye know not the hour in which our Lord cometh. But often shall ye come together, seeking the things which are befitting to your souls: for the whole time of your faith will not profit you, if ye be not made perfect in the last time." Didache, 16 (A.D. 90).

Answer 7

The prophecies spoken of in the Bible are events that have been repeating over and over throughout all of human history. The world didn't end the last time we had earthquakes, famines, diseases, wars, and international organizations established, it's not going to end now that those same things are still happening.



Stop being scared of things that aren't going to happen.

Answer 8

The rapture is said to occur before the mark of the beast and tribulation begin. There is nothing to be afraid of. God has it in His hands.



And believe me, the rapture will occur. I suggest you re-read Revelations.



On a happier note, it's nice to see that one more person has trusted Christ. I'm thrilled to hear that :)

Answer 9

Romans 8:31 "What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is with us, who can be against us?"



No one know what exactally what will happen but I have faith in God that he will take care of us.

Answer 10

Email me at [e-mail]



this is what I think will happen:



Well, seeming as if it is getting more and more expensive to print up paper money, and I think that the lay forbids of bills/coins that can be printed up being worth more than $100, then probably soon. It costs money to make money, and sometimes it costs more money to make money! So, the government will probably find a quick and easy solution that is already out there. (I bet they'll say it's safer because printing machine technology is getting better and better, getting counterfeiting easier, and anti-counterfeiting harder)



Credit card companies, online banking, debit cards, and paypal will probably replace all money, it already replaced a lot of money today!



For when that day comes, probably the enviromentalists will say something like this : "Well, now we don't need those big diesel trucks driving around hauling that money all over, and people don't need to use ATMs anymore, and they'll be almost no stealing of money because it's all on the computer!" That is probably what will happen, and people will use everything on the computer. Seeming as if Obama is spending trillions of dollars, and he's probably printing out money like a mad man, there will be more inflation, resulting in the cost of money being more.



The end is probably coming soon, for reals this time! We're not sure exactly when, though, but I bet it will be within 100 years from now. I can't wait!



The end is gonna be scary though, I warn, and you must keep your faith strong despise of what false evidence the devils cooking up for us! This time it's gonna be big, I mean the false evidence is gonna be HUGE!!! A lot of people are gonna say "What? I was lied to? Cool! Now I can look at porn and have sex with my aunt! Now I can rob that bank so I can get some money!" and there will be chaos probably. People will probably have nothing in the back of there mind saying theres a god after this evidence the devil cooks up.



For then, the true followers of christ, the people who believe him despise of this enormous evidence, will be with christ.



The devil might win a noble prize, ending up with a lot of people looking up to him and thanking him for finally revieling if theres a god or not.



The antichrist will probably gain a high military or political position, and be corrupted as can be. He'll unleash these super-germs genetic engineers are cooking up resulting in a plague where there as absolutely no survival rate. He will then order all people to get nanobots in them or a v-chip to "safely" remove the plague, even though it will probably kill them faster and insure that they don't survive.



All hell will break loose, really. It will be chaotic, catastrophic. Death with plagues. The end is coming near, really near. I know. For the angels told me this through my mind. You may laugh at this, but I tell you this is true. If so many people turned away from god from small things the devil cooked up, like creationism and the big bang, imagine what everybody would do if he founded false evidence everyone would think was real! The number of disbands from relegion would be huge, leaving a small percentage of christians and other religions left.



Jesus, jesus will probably warn of this. That this evidence if false. He will probably go around and perform miracles, like heal people who have recieve this super germ. He will probably cure cancer and aids and do miracles and speak wise words. He will probably warn people of this false evidence, and tell them that there is a god and he is proof!

He will try to save and try to convince people of what the devil is doing is wrong, and he is the antichrist!



Back to the antichrist (sorry I don't know what jesus will do in that case but I can tell you what I think is gonna happen) he will probably make things up about other countries, like they have nukes and are planning to bomb us and we have to go to war.for revenge, or prevention! We might test biological weapons on them too releasing the plague.



Please keep in mind I am struggling to comprehend what exactly will happen in the end of time, but I am just putting down what is at the top of my head. This will probably happen at the end of time. No I am not a loony or anything. Just listen to the words of christ, please.



------

I was thinking of that one day very hard and kind of saw what I think will happen. It was weird. Please e-mail me for questions or something

Answer 11

Get out of the fundie cult that you belong to and be a normal Christian. Fundies try to mess up your mind. They tell you that those other Christians who disagree with their false doctrines like the OSAS and pre-trib rapture are not Christians.



I am Christian but not a fundie.

Answer 12

You don't have nothing to worry about if you love the Lord.



God takes care of those who love Him.



By the way, Jesus was not scared to be crucified.

Answer 13

christians won't go through the great tribulation

Answer 14

hi..God wants u to not fear.. i think he will rapture us out of here...what i see, as a prophetess, is God shifting his children into ministry, bizness, and many things where they are leading, are the Head over, and they will give the gospel in many areas where it was b4, or has bee removed.. God is speaking for us, in these last days..and he is saying to do the GOD-GIVEn Dream or vision that hes placed into u to do.. we must not fear.. those that are Lost, unbelief, will see what we say is true. the earth groans for sons & daughters to rise up, into purpose.. God sees the different churches in the revelations and is grieved over those that are out of purpose..we must be that church that is on target with our pourpose.. God doesnt want us to have a "rapture-mentaltiy" that scares us, but, to have a mindset that is as christs, fulfilling the works that he specifically gives for each one of us to do. God wants the body of christ to know who they are in him, what they have, their power, their gifts..they must be using their talents, and increase..these are the faithful, which will be givne inventions, dreams, visions, ideas, concepts, some will fund the Kingdom work, and lauch out.. dont be in fear. instead focus on your specific giftings, and callings, work to do, and include the gsopel in every work..share him all over- in know u said u dont believe in the rapture.. all i know is he said we will meet him in the sky in some new testament verse.. but God is saying to you that the enemy wants u to fear, not know who u are in him, all that u can do: raise the dead, heal the sick, share him, etc...cast out demons..work your gifts! if the enemy has u locked up in this, you will worry.. & dont take a chip implant/that mark, or what ever that mark is, when it comes.. its already out there.. stay faithful to God, he will increase u. God told me of Matthew 24 6 years ago...and he was saying that the time is NOW..when the towers fell, he said NOW...wickedness will increase & excellerate!!!! its true.. here it is..he dropped dreams & visions..and now we are rising up..those with an ear to hear know, and are in the specific calling AFTER he has sanded them, prepared them in secret, and he anoints, then appoints... he that has an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying is coming into the BRIDE that Christ is coming for...he says know who u are in him... few can see the hand of God right now.. many christians are sleeping, loving the world, lust, sex, or they are staying in fear, or they are as pharisees, stuck on tradtion..but never ask God about all areas of their life..which makes them to have no power...God says awake BODY OF CHRIST..when a man marries, he looks for a woman in purpose, ready, and working in her purpose, in power..this is to be the BRIDE OF CHRIST.. focus on this.. get ready Children of GOD..like now..if any dont have the witness in them confirming this, as u already know this.. then, u r to ask God - he will reveal...:)- my fellow believer in CHRIST..NO FEAR...God has u..get more in tha family.

Answer 16

i am also a christian,and i also believe and love Jesus Christ and i will be glad when he comes for his people to take us to be with him for ever more,never more to be afraid or sick and ext. i do know from much bible study that when its all over down here on earth that when we are with Jesus we will not be afraid no more of the natural feelings we have here,so i will not worry nor think about any loved one i might have who did not make it.i don't know how God is gonna make it that way for his people but i do trust that he knows what he's doing so i will be content with that. so i live the christian life and witness to my loved ones of Jesus and if they hear then great but if they refuse then my hands are clean. and i have a hope that i will soon be with Jesus,i do believe in the rapture >1 thessalonians chapter 4 states the following scriptures,that's why i believe Jesus will take us Christians before his wrath comes to earth, take away means raptured or took or taken,,,,,ask God for understanding>>>>>>001: Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

002: For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

003: For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

004: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

005: Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

006: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

007: For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

008: He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

009: But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

010: And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

011: And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

012: That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

013: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

014: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

015: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

016: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

017: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

018: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 thessalonians chapter 5 states the following 001: But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

002: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

003: For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

004: But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

005: Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

006: Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

007: For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

008: But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

009: For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

010: Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

011: Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

012: And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

013: And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

014: Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

015: See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

016: Rejoice evermore.

017: Pray without ceasing.

018: In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God

Answer 17

LISTEN TO 1COR1

Answer 18

FACT...! FACT...! FACT...!



A good Muslim is not afraid to blow himself to smithereens to please Allah!!! Jesus sweat blood dead scared to die for anybody!



There are some issues of serious concern in the stories of the last days of Jesus Christ before going to the Holy Cross than most preachers are willing to admit! The Bible writers started to write the NT over 40+ years after the events are alleged to have taken place. They say that Jesus was teaching his last long farewell lesson on different subjects and that he was getting so unstable that he lost track of the questions that his Holy Apostles were asking him.



John 13:36 (NIV) Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?"



John 14:5 (NIV) Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"



He didn’t answer them, but at the end of this last training class Jesus is complaining that nobody is asking him where he is going!!!



John 16:5 (NIV) Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, “Where are you going?”* (*At this point Saint Peter and Saint Thomas started to bang their heads against the wall.).



If true, then Jesus was so depressed about getting crucified that he just couldn’t remember anything anymore. Then he goes to the Garden of Gethsemane sweating blood in a horrifying fear of dying for anybody! He kept asking his disciples to PRAY FOR HIM! He was in need of a comforter, but God the Holy Spook, aka “Another Comforter” was nowhere to be found! Instead an angel creature of God showed up (with a box of napkins?) The Preachers are covering up the fact that Jesus was yellow-bellying at the idea of going to the Holy Cross! We all know for a fact that any Muslim is far less scared to blow himself up in a ritual to please Allah than Jesus Christ was at dying for anybody!



Luke 22:44 (KJV) And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground* (*it was dark in the night, somebody saw it and told everybody!).



BTW, Jesus started to shed bloody sweat even before getting nailed to the Holy Cross, but the preachers are saying that this blood was worthless to save anybody from their sins because it was shed while “sweating it out.” The Christian rule is that the Holy Blood of Jesus had to flow freely from his limbs while nailed to the Holy Cross! The Roman soldier that thrust a spear into Jesus’ right SIDE drew WATER and blood (John 19:34). The water represented “rivers of living water” spiritually speaking, of course. It had nothing to do with any plan of salvation or scientific fact! Only Jesus can perform the trick of sweating blood, and shedding water from a body wound!



Hebrews 5:7-8 (NIV) During the days of Jesus' life on earth, HE OFFERED UP PRAYERS AND PETITIONS WITH LOUD CRIES AND TEARS TO THE ONE WHO COULD SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. ALTHOUGH HE WAS A SON, HE LEARNED OBEDIENCE* (God the Father up in the sky taught him a lesson ON OBEDIENCE just for the heck of it “because it pleased God!”) FROM WHAT HE SUFFERED.



The sadomasochistic orientation of the Bible writers is very obvious here! God already set up for God the Son Jesus Christ to die NAILED TO THE CROSS BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD… and Jesus agreed to go by the book!).



1 Peter 1:19-20 (KJV) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot* (*but full of Roman soldiers’ spit!): who verily was foreordained before* (*read it again! “WHO VERILY WAS FOREORDAINED BEFORE”) THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD!



Hebrews 10:7 (KJV) Then said I* (*Jesus Christ!), Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God.* (*Jesus is recognizing a higher God authority than himself and that he is following the script in a book, but he is dead scared to die nailed at the Holy Cross, anyway!)



One of the most embarrassing prophecies hardly discussed about Jesus is that he needed to learn OBEDIENCE! He had to learn to distinguish right from wrong, AND THE HOLY CROSS DID THE TRICK!



Isaiah 7:14-16 (NIV) Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. He will eat curds and honey WHEN HE KNOWS ENOUGH TO REJECT THE WRONG AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT. BUT BEFORE THE BOY KNOWS ENOUGH TO REJECT THE WRONG AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.



No intelligent person can see a connection of this child in Isaiah with Jesus in the NT, but if the Christian Mullahs say so Christians need to believe! BTW, “virgin” and “young girl” in Hebrew is the same word, but the Bible translators had to use “virgin” in English to make up a virgin birth prophecy for Jesus Christ!



The absurd worship of so many crosses of Jesus proves the sadomasochistic orientation of the Christian religion! Jesus flesh is beaten to a pulp thoroughly tenderized and heavily marinated in Roman soldiers’ spit in preparation for hanging totally naked on a Holy Cross as the “spotless Lamb of God taking away the sins of the world!” There is no historical record that the Roman soldiers ever dressed their victim’s genital area in a white clean diaper before hanging them on any cross no matter how holy! The next time that a sweet Catholic lady or nun prays before a crucifix they ought to know that the diaper is NOT there, and so they are free to fantasize all they want!



In fact, there is no record outside of the Bible that the Romans crucified anybody in Jerusalem. The Romans were known to IMPALE their victims driving a thick pole into their rectum and making them stand on it until eventually the pole would pierce the heart or lung killing the victims by their own body weight! There will be plenty of blood mixed with feces when the pole is removed from the victim’s anal cavity, but that’s irrelevant to the Bible story that we are discussing here. In reality, the Romans had more fun impaling their victims than spending a lot of money manufacturing artistic crosses and nails to hang common criminals! The horizontal beam of the cross needs to be fixed solidly in place otherwise the Romans would be laughed at for putting the safety of the victim nailed to the cross, in jeopardy!



Jesus hardly suffered a sissy’s death nailed to a fancy cross. BTW, it is a SCIENTIFIC FACT rejected by Christians that no human being can possibly be hanging his whole body weight any length of time nailed to a “cross” by the hands, while at the same time conducting a long heated conversation with his peers on the other crosses, and with the guests watching the crucifixion, and with the Roman soldiers! Only a bunch of masochistic oriented religious perverts into some deep BDSM fetishes would come up with a Holy story like that!



The Bible writers have Jesus sweating BLOOD begging his Father in Heaven “to pass the cup”. It would have been much easier if God the Father would have assigned a “Guardian Angel” to protect Eve from eating a fruit from the wrong tree! That would have “saved” the WHOLE world that God loves so much from going to Hell without having to slaughter any member of the Holy Trinity!



BTW, JESUS WAS NOT CARRYING HIS OWN CROSS! God the Son Jesus Christ was teaching that everybody should carry their own cross and follow him, but on his way to the crucifixion site Jesus was NOT carrying his own cross AT ALL, Simon did…! Simon was asked to carry Jesus’ Holy Cross! All the religious images that you see of Jesus carrying his own cross to be crucified are only picture taking opportunities!



Matthew 27:32 (NIV) As they were going out* (*to Golgotha), they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.



In spite of all the virtual suffering of Jesus Christ, Saint Paul comes along later on and finishes WHATEVER PAIN JESUS STILL HAD TO SUFFER IN HIS OWN FLESH for the sins of the “elect” and for their salvation, so they can go to the Bible Heaven when they die!



Colossians 1:24 (NIV) Now I* (*Saint Paul) rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I FILL UP IN MY FLESH WHAT IS STILL LACKING IN REGARD TO CHRIST'S AFFLICTIONS, for the sake of “his body, which is the church”.



For his work the Bible writers have God rewarding Saint Paul with the "STIGMATA"* (*the marks of Jesus crucified). He was the first Christian to get it!



Galatians 6:17 (NIV) FINALLY, let no one cause me trouble, for I BEAR ON MY BODY THE MARKS OF JESUS. (“I lie not!” -Saint Paul)



Atheists know how to read the Bible the way it is, making proper allowances for “allegoric” stories, but not the way it has to be read according to the dogmas of any particular Church brand.
