I reflect on what the Bible says about "the Rapture" and what it is really calling us to focus on. Also, information about Faithtoberfest, which is drawing near!

I'm betting this was the best minute on television last night, picking up on the best moment broadcast on Sunday. And the one moment of Kimmel's monologue absolutely everyone should hear (from the linked part for the next 1:30). https://youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?si=G3ANJYfq55ioNa1l&t=1039
Join us in-person or online for Sunday School Express -- a 30 minute interactive conversation about what we believe as a church. https://youtube.com/live/ohOUao0AuOU
Like food for thought, the Word of God in the #Bible transforms our spirits into God's likeness. "Taste and see that the Lord is good!" Psalm 34:8
Praise brings our prayers into God's presence. "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name." Psalm 100:4
The faith of a mustard seed, is knowing you're already equipped with everything needed to become like the One who made you. "βIf you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, βBe pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,β and it would obey you." Luke 17:6
When we truly believe we're in God's will, we can reach out our hands to help others, knowing we're heirs to His promise to never forsake us. "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
"And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. John 14:15-18
When we're faithful to God, we're equipped to have faith in Him.
"Jesus answered and said to them, 'Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.'" Mark 11:22-24
The #lie that is #Conservative.
For 30+years, the US #Republican party campaigns on 3 main culture subjects calling their base "Conservative."
#Jesus
#Guns
#Abortion
Republicans have used #religion and faith in Jesus to achieve their goals and the results are clear after only 9 months.
The cycle of lies that is "conservative" must be exposed as hijacked by fascists and grifters selling bibles and snake oil while the dream of "conservative" becomes nightmare for the #UnitedStates.
"Conservative media" makes objects of women, excuses pedophiles in the name of #Jesus and creates hyper partisan zombies called the Republican party.

I am doing some research on the nativity of Jesus of Nazareth. I am looking into the many sectarian traditions and scholarly opinions on this subject.
I would like to get hermeneutic opinions and off the cuff opinions on some groundwork questions.
1. What actual year do you think Jesus was born?
2. How old was Mary when she was married?
3. How did Mary conceive?
4. What is the significance of his birthplace?
5. What is the significance of the Magi who sought him after his birth?
6. Why was it necessary or significant for an angel to tell Mary she was going to conceive?
Where possible, links or citations would be useful for particular opinions or traditional explanations.

The Genesis Abraham is the Future, not the Antique, Primordial Past. Abimelech and Pharaoh are the Christian Church. The Seed of Abraham is in the World Today but not of the Christian World Order. The Deeper Meaning of Abimelech and Sarah in Genesis.
The Book of Genesis is a prophecy about the Christian age. It uses emblems to tell a deeper spiritual story, which is wrongly interpreted by many Christians and Jews to be totally literal history. But Genesis is not literal history--Genesis is the prophetic future!

Sometimes looking at the current happenings, the thought crosses my mind "I wish I could go back in time and ask Jesus and/or the apostles for advice in person".
Then I catch myself and remember that my faith is based on Jesus being resurrected and being present NOW through the Holy Spirit, I shouldn't need to go back in time to ask and receive advice from Him.
