Members JerryNumbers Posted April 13, 2012 Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ohio man kills wife, daughter at Cracker Barrel Recently I read of a man shielding his son from gunshots, dying to save his life, yet its getting way to common for fathers to get mad at their wife, killing her along with their children.

Members Wilchbla Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 My one nephew who is a cop in Roanoke, Va went to a call where a deputy went into a store a shot his ex-wife right in front of the kids. He actually drove the patrol car there to do it. There was a high speed chase afterwards and they shot the deputy though he survived.

Members John81 Posted April 14, 2012 Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 With all the false teachings and beliefs regarding death and the afterlife, many of these people actually think if they kill their family and themselves they will all somehow be together in their idea of heaven or paradise and "live" happily ever after. While many try to deny it, those who live in America today are in as much need of having the Gospel taken to them as anyone in any other nation. Sad to say, but in a nation flooded with Bibles, churches, TV and radio ministries and millions of professing Christians, there are yet millions in America who have never read from a Bible, never heard the Gospel, and are as far from the Lord as any heathen in deepest Africa or India.

Members JerryNumbers Posted April 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 14, 2012 And some call this a Christian nation, while the large majority is lost. a very large mission field in this United States of America.

Members John81 Posted April 15, 2012 Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 America faces the problem of having so many who think they are Christians and they become defensive and angry when someone tries to present the Gospel to them. America also faces the problem of there being so many professing Christians who witness a false gospel of "just say a prayer and you'll go to heaven". I really have to question the reasoning many preachers have as to why America will fall when they claim it will be because so many million Americans will be raptured. Some preachers declare that half or more of all Americans will be raptured away leaving America with a depleted population of wicked people. Just because polls say that 70% or more of Americans call themselves Christians doesn't mean that anywhere near that percentage are actually born again in Christ. What about in your own area of America, are between 50% and 90% actually born again Christians? Americans like to think of themselves as religious and claim to believe in God, or a god, but they deny the power of God and His Son. America's Burger King Christianity won't save them. 1John2:15-17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1John2:15-17 Posted April 15, 2012 Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 "Half or more" of Americans will be raptured? Seems like that number is quite high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems many pay too much attention to all those polls showing high percentages of Americans claim to be Christian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1John2:15-17 Posted April 15, 2012 Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 Of course we won't know for sure until we get to heaven.... Many "professing" Christians are just that, in that they want to sound like they are good all the while not living or driving to live right and many acting just like the world. IMHO, for many, professing to be a Christian makes them feel good, but won't they be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, In my 65 years of living, I've noticed that for the most part, an unsaved people can be easier to talk to outside of church than someone that says they're saved, in that the unsaved person want get all defensive, & cut you to pieces as some that claims to be saved that disagree with your Bible beliefs. As for numbers that may be rapture in America on that great day, I think it may be as low as 20%, maybe even lower, of those that claim to profess Christ. No fear, if this country is still standing at that time, there will be plenty left behind to carry on a usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen far more Catholics come to Christ through witnessing than I have of those who already profess to be saved and often attend some "Christian" church.
