Hey all! I'm just really interested in what my brothers and Sisters in Christ, will say too him first, when they are face too face with him! Yayayay for that day!!! So, if it's not too personal, I'd love too hear your answers! When you are in his embrace, what will be the first thing you say too our Lord and Saviour? smiles. Let us know if ya like guys. God bless, Sazel.
I don't know what I would say. I would probably cry tears of joy and give Him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. I've had dreams about meeting Him...
so have I mel! and he's always had a suit and tie on! Smiles. I've also hugged and kissed him. Black suit, white shirt and a grey silk tie. smiles. If i was gonna write one thing too Jesus if he was reading this board it would be simply, "I love you Lord xx." smiles. Sazel.
I had this one dream where I was walkin' down a sidewalk, and He was walking 10 feet or more in front of me, and He turned around. I knew exactly who He was even though I couldn't really see Him from afar! I ran toward him, dropping my cane, and He opened His arms. I think He had shoulder length hair, no beard, and a white robe with blue trim or something. That dream happened about two years ago, so it's getting foggy...
to be honest i don't know what i'd say
i think i'd give him a big hug but i would also ask him why he's making all the wars happen and stuff. and why people die
man! taht's awesome! I had this one dream where he came up too me on the street, with a suit and tie on, and said, "Hey there, can we talk?" We went in too this room, but, the only thing I will remember, and this is because I have a fear of men, and sexual attack, he said, I want you too know first of all sweet heart, is that I will not do anything toohurt you while we are alone in this room." I asked him what we talked about in prayer the next morning, and he said I would fine that out when I was in his arms for real. Or another way of putting it, in the Kingdom!!!!! woot!
wow sarah! daniel all the wars happen because... well... um sarah, a little help here? how do i explain this to daniel?
Jesus said that wars would happen in the bible. He warned us. It's not him that made them happen.
Hey Mel, I think Lordlover needs too get her hands on this toppic! hehehehe. She always seems too give good answers lol!
yeh i wonder if she loves the lord lol!
well yeah? but shes in school right now,
o my life! Don't ever say "I wonder if she loves the Lord too Lordlover Stargate, she'll go bizzerk! No joke!!!
I know exactly what I will say, Hello, old friend, it's good to finally be here.
Carla
nice one Texas red! smiles.
I can't imagine what I'd say, I'd probably be speechless for a minute, thinking nothing I could say would be worthy, then I'd probably say what an honor it is to meet him. Somehow, I just couldn't imagine going up to God and saying, hi there, lord, hows it going?
wonderwoman
O believe me!! I love the Lord with all of my heart, with all of my strangth, and with all of my life!! I have had many wonderful dreams of meeting Jesus. One, I was up in heaven with Him, and it was just the two of us. He got a big balll with a huge smily face, and gave it to me, and said that we were going to paly ball. O, what a wonderful day it was!! But, when I am to meet Jesus, I can only imagine what I will say. "Jesus! Jesus!" Or "Daddy! You have come alast!! I have missed you ever so much!!" But the joy is more then that. I see Jesus with short hair, bright blue eyes, and a huge smile on His face. Thanks Sarah for creating this topic. *hugs.
Awwa Chelsea that dream is SOOO cute I can just see him doing that!!! Yeah, sometimes, I imagine Him as a little boy with short hair and big, blue eyes as well...
Awww, how cute!!! And the face that never loses its smile.the one who took the nails and the cross for our sins, still has that loving smile on His face. I can only imagine.
I think I would say thank you for bringing me back to faith even though people around me often don't believe.
Thanks Guys for all your posts! Chelsea, that dream rocks, Mel, that's so cute, I'd love too play ball with Jesus Chelse!!! Smiles. and inyes, amen too that! I was in the same position! I think, among loads of other words, i would also say the same too him!!! Sazel.
sorry, Ines, smiles.
No problem *smiles*.
Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel? Will I dance for you Jesus? Or in awe of you be still? Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing halleluia? Will I be able to speak at all? I can only imagine ... Yeah, I can only imagine.
Awww! Shivers are running up my back. I love that song!!!! Yeayea!
First of all I would apologize from the bottom of my heart because every time he came back, we human beings acted just as bad as the first time he was here 2000 years ago. The first time he came back, we assumed he was a homeless drunkard and put him in jail. The second time he came back, we declared him insane for thinking he was Jesus and locked him up in an insane asylum. The third time he came back and brough a few people back from the dead, the FBI caught him sure he was an alien and did all kinds of experiments on him (I believe he is still in their custody). As you can understand, when Jesus does come back he won't look as you expect him to look. He will be poor, maybe homeless, he will talk weird and when he starts performing miracles people will just get scared! In other words, Jesus will not come back because we as human beings have no place for him. We desert the poor to live in poverty, we assume lunatics those who can see the future, and hunt everyone down as aliens those that appear to have abilities or powers above other humans. Look around you of how corrupted the world is. Jesus has come back many times and each time we killed him over and over and over and over and over and over again. Maybe he came back in Iraq the day we bombed them. Maybe he came back a Russian and we killed him as a communist. Maybe he came back in Tibet and the Chinese killed him when they invaded the country. How stupid can you be to assume that Jesus will come back as a rich American???? Star
Ally, I like that!!! And, Star, I totally agree with you.
But He only ame toEarth once. That is all that it took. He paid for our sins at the cross, and He has forgiven us of each and every sin. It doesn't take a whole bunch of times to come back to forgive us. Sorry Star, but I disagree with you.
Thanks Alley Cat, I love that song! yeayayayay! Star, I don't get what your getting at. Jesus as an alien? ha?
I disagree as well. Jesus came to this Earth once and only once. There were many incidents, yes, as he healed, taught, died, when people punished Him, but that all happened in one lifetime. And really, you never know how He's gonna come back. He said He would be like "a thief in the night" and take us by surprise. Allie, I looove that song!!!
No, I mean I only agree with Star at that point that I think you should appologize when you are facing christ.
o yeah! An apology will most deffenately, be the first thing we all say when we are face too face with the Lord Jesus christ! If it isn't, we've got a problem!!!
no Gobblin, Sorry too disapoint you, but that will most certainly not be what i say too the Lord Jesus. I have much more respect for him than that. Plus, I, and the many other Christians who have posted in this topic, all love him way too much for that. Trust me Gobblin, I'm praying that one day, you realise who God is, and that he loves you. I'm praying for you, remember that, and thanks everyone else for your posts. If you think of anything else, don't hesitate too add it. Sazel.
Well spoken Sazel!
I couldn't have said that better; I didn't reply because I was so angry I didn't want to defeat the purpose of the safe haven board; let's just put it that way.
Yeah, I love that song too ... among others, like FFH's "Fly Away" and Mark Schultz's "Back In His Arms." I love Christian music!
Goblin I think that was almost disgusting.
Don't give me the glorry for that reply, that was as if God was at the keyboard typing for me! Praise his holy name! O man! Come on Jesus, we're desperate for you down here! Smiles. Love yas all in Christ, praise God I've met so many other strong Christians on this sight, love yas all, Sazel.
The Lord says don't threw your pearls too swine. I am not going too waste time arguing with you Goblin. There's no point, byut just know i'm praying for you ok? no harm there. If you ever do realise how much God cares for you, I for one, and i'm sure the others will be only too happy too help you. In the mean though, there's nothing else I, or anyone else can say too you. Sazel.
For the word says, share it with those who want too recieve it, but don't force it on anyone. So, all I, and the others can do is pray. God is no way a poison! I really do pray one day you find that out! God loves you Goblin, that's all I'm going too say. Sazel.
Believe me, there was a time when I hated anything too do with God, and wouldn't go near Christians! I nearly married, and did other stuff strictly against the bible. But now, God is the best thing in my life! Couldn't live without him now! Just as he changed my heart, i pray one day, he changes yours.
Sazel, I agree with all you say. I am praying for everyone who does not believe in god, but I will not force my religion on others, as I experienced that myself. Praise god for leading me back to him!!
Sazel, I can totally relate to you in that point!!! I did not believe in god at all, because I got forced to. Now I could not live without god, as I experienced that praying really helps.
how can I beloved by a concept which is a creation of the human race and its insatiable need to dominate and control each other..you are seriously deluded and when you die you will realise that, and perhaps you will do me the favour of filling me in on what you find..
I'm not going too argue. That's all I'm saying. I've been called that before, miss guided, diluded, you name it, I love god and i'm proud if it! I'm not turning for anyone. God created the earth, the human race, everything! As for having an oppinion, you are entitled too yours, just as i am intitled too my faith.
Anyways, Jesus told us we'd be persicuted for our faith, and that's just what your doing. So, it's not like I and the others haven't seen this all before. Plus, we were for warned.
You guys must have a huge hole in your lives if you feel the need to fill it with something that does not exist.
God exists...only in your heads.
That's a matter of faith my friend.
Gobbilin, I will sure be praying for you. God is not our cruch, but our Creator. Jesus loves you and we want you to know that.
I will be praying for both of you. Yes, Saz, you are correct; Jesus warned us of persecution. Yes, I've been called crazy, uncool, even by my own older sister, mind you, and if either of you think you are hurting me, you're not; the only thing that hurt was when my own flesh and blood said it to me herself. I could care less about your opinion just as you could care less about my faith, so good, we're even. The end. And when I die, no, I won't be able to let you know - thanks for being your usual smart alecky self and sidestepping the topic yet again, Goblin. OK, the end for real this time - Mel out.
Sazel, I totally agree with you again, with everything you're saying. What a shame that some people can't just accept other people's beliefs.
"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 5:11-12.)
amen!!!
This is a true verse.
the first thing I would say...... "I love you"
Good for you, F H S L. smiles.
Yeah, that#s a good start as well!!!
...
I know who loves me living breathing tangible people. I take it that none of you believe in yourselves, or could do so, without the addiction to religion...that is truly sad it is a crutch and you have no hope of throwing it away and running free and unaided as I do
What makes me sad Gobbilin, is that you would slam us Christian's for loving our Maker. You can complain, and say how we are using religion as a cruch, but you will not win here.
As I've said, religion, if you must call it a crutch, is a much better choice than drugs, alcohol, etc. But then again, tha'ts juwst my oppinion. Yes I know a lot of people could give a flyin' flip about my opinion. So what? Doesn't mean I give a flyin' flip about there's, and I've heard you say religion was a crutch, what, a million times now at least? Repetative aren't we mister alex the goblin all mighty? Well if you think you're getting our goat, you're not, so why don't you just buzz off?
amen, song writer. drugs and alcohol, yuk!talk about using something for a crutch! that's what people use drugs and alcohol for.
wonderwoman
What took you so long?!?!
I agree. thesongwriter.
Amen! Good one Lordlover, woderwoman, thesongwriter, ines! All we are, is in love so can you please stop slaming us? The Lord says as I have before don't waist arguing with none believers. There are some that just won't be saved guys and sadly we have too put up with that. Still praying for you though, and as for freedom, i am freee so are we all! Jesus freed us on the cross! Amen!
Well spoken, Sazel Sis!!!
feelk sad you are closed up and unable to love yourselves much less a creation of a very lurid and self esteem hungry imagination
goblin will you give it up!?!?!?!?
I give up! Jesus, please save this man! There is nothing we can do but pray!
Goblin can I just ask you a question? You've made it very obvious how you feel and no one is saying you actually have too read this board, so, if you'd respect us, we'd respect you. Why do you diliberately come on here too attack us? If "Religion" is not your thing, then why do you come on this board?
All we are doing, is loving Christ, what is that a crime now?
goblin, ive been refraining from saying this but now is the time. you are attention hungry. you know that i would be ignoring you if you werent hating on christians and jesus. but you know thats what gets to us bunch so you do it anyway. can i say that, how old are you, 36 or so? im 14 and i think its plain that you are acting like you are 14 and im 36. its annoying. it hurts. it pisses me off. why do you think you have the top rank on board posting? its nothing to us - we actually dont give a flyin' flip. so would you refrain from speaking for once? in other words i shall make this plain and simple: shut up! shut up shut up shut upppppp! knock it off you immature attention seeker! get a freaking life!
Sazel, Mel, I totally agree. Good questiion, Sazel.
I wanna see it Goblin, when you are face too face with the Lord and he says "why didn't you accept me?" i just pray he forgives you! Not just for that, but for deliberately hurting others. If you ever do find Jesus, I'll be here too help you. In the mean time, please, please, please, cut it out!!!
See we don't criticize your post either, except if they are rude, which they usually are. OUr posts are not rude, but only because it is not your opinion, you criticize and attack us. I also hope that god will for give you.
I know... goblin I am thinking ow, that you are coming here to be the hacker you were wondering off the otther day? hmm, but well i know you will not listen, err, I mean deaf people do a way better job from hearing than you! so thank you, go back to your little website before you had the zoone, if you are able to.... and well as for me, I think god manifests himself in the form of dreams. I will just say, if i encounter him face to face I am just going to be thankful for all the oportunities and wonderful things he has given to me
As Thesongwriter was saying, why be here on this riligion topic when you don't even like it to begin with? The name of this topic should give a clear sign that it is a religion topic, it is dealing with God, and therefore, we have the right to talk on here freely. For you Gobbilin, to say nasty things on here, is not right. This is a topic in which we get to talk about our love for God. Not for how much someone may hate Him, but how much we love Him. If you have any problem with it, then please, I am asking you to eather keep it to yourself, or, find another topic of your own, and talk about nonsence. In the mean time, we will be praying for you.
God bless,
Lordlover
Wow ! Lou, I coun't have said that better. When I meet Jesus face to face, the first thing i'm going to say is I love you Jesus, and then i'm going to ask is, Why did you die for me? And, Why did you still keep giving to me, and answering my prayers when I don't deserve it?
Nice one Rush band! *smily
Wow, this is a great idea. And after saying that, I would appologize for all the people, who did wars in his name and killed people, and all the cruel things on earth.
wow! I couldn't ahve said that better rush badn! smiles.
oopse sorry, fan! smiles.
Aww, I do the same thing with misspelling all the time. LOL
But that is not what we are looking for when we read your messages.*smily
hahaha thanks Chelse. smiley
It is hard to think of words that you know won't be said on that Day. For we might be just so speachless. Or, all we could probably say is "Lord, it's You!" I don't know, but how I long for that desired Day! All of our pains, and troubles will be gone. The blind will see, the def will hear, the lame will walk, and there will be much rejoicing in His Kingdum.
But for now, we have a race to run!
how true is that!!!!
man i think I'd be speechless then ask a million and one further questions! Lol
I think that the day of the Rapture will be a glorious day, at least for those who have accepted Christ as thier saviour; For those who have not, It will be terrifying. Millions will disappear, to meet our Lord in the clouds and they will be left disparing, trying to figure out what happened. I also know that on that day, Those of you who I meet on here I will meet. Chelsea and Beth, If for some reason I get there before you, I'll be waiting just inside the Eastern Gate for you guys.
Me too! Chelsea, Beth, Mel, and the rest! Bring it on for the Lord!!!! woohoo!!!! Roll on the day!!! I can only imagine!!!
oo man! I just heard that song, and i got a chill going up my back. I always feel an amazing sensation sweep through my heart every single time I hear that song!!!!! Oo man! I loooooooooove it! I think what i'm gonna do first when I'm face too face with the Lord, is just try and start singing that, then probs will cry! Surrounded by your glorry, what will my heart feel? Will i dance for you Jesus, or in awe of you be still? Will i stand in your presence, too my knees will I fall, will i sing halliluhya will I be able too speak at all? i can only imagine!!!!! I love you Jesus!!!!!
I think the song covers all the possible emotions we will go through. Who knows, we may stand in awe at first, then fall to our knees in praise. God Bless.
you too KC8eaka. Praise God. Another Christian Brother. I looked at your profile.
the day i say something to god will be the day he accepts homosexuals.
I agree. I mean ... I can claim to say something to god when I'm face to face with him but ... I bet I'll be speechless in the first few minutes.
What'll I say. Well, it depends if I think I'm Sain. "Where am I? Who are you?" That's probably what i'll say first. If I do believe that Heaven is where I am at some point, Which I probably will, i'll probably just say, "Where are the family members that hav died before me?" rather not be tactless to the creator, eh?
Goblin, Freya and Beautiful_Dorian have summed up my opinions exactly. I am as entitled to my opinion as those of you who 'believe', and just as you stand firm in your faith, I too stand firm in mine--or lack there of.
so anyway. peace all!
Karrie!
God bless everyone!
ok. that last post was messed up!
I'd say thank for bringing me to life. I'd say thank you for helping me through everything I've been through.
I'd also say I love you.
As a side note. Goblin. I hope you find god. your non religious stuff makes me sick reading it...
peace for real this time
KK
Wow! I really don't know. Thank you for saving us by giving your own lif I guess?e
I like that, Sillysinger.
Um. Prove it then, please, if you are so sure about it. If it is your opinion, why do you bother writing here? It's faire enough if you say "I don't believe in Jesus". But how can you say "he never existed" if you can't prove it?
my gosh guys, reading some of these bashing posts sickens me. Hello! that is why there was a specific board made for "religious topics" so people can talk freely without being judged. I never read anyone asking for opinions on which is right and wrong to believe in!
Thank you, Rachel. That is what I wante3d to say. THat is what I said: If you don't believe in god, fine, I accept and respect that opinion. But that is no reason to claim god doesn't exist. Because it is not proven.
We shouldn't be so harsh on others. Ya sure, we don't all believe in the same God, but please lay off people. We have the freedom to post our beliefs in here like them or not, people will just have to live with it.
That's quite right.
Why do people bother to post on boards like this if they don't believe and if they only hurt people who do believe in god?
I know. If people have a differen opinion about religion, they should keep it to themselves. But I respect their opinion all the same.
Hmm, what should I say when I am face-to-face with Christ? Hmm... I know I'd say thank you, but I'd also cry and give him a hug. "Thank you for dying for me, thank you for giving me good talents and a chance for me to live for you, thank you for letting me spread the gospel to others so that they can believe in you, thank you for helping me through all my struggles, thank you for keeping me away from Satan," I don't know what else. I'd fall to my knees and cry!!! I love you, Jesus!!! You're my rock and my salvation. You're the God that wipes away my tears!
I don't know what I would first say or that I would be able to say anything if/when I first meet Jesus/God in Heaven.
I would ask him wheir the nearest bar is and ask him to come along and I'll buy him a drink
haha.
I would probably say. "Oh, Christ! You're real. Well, I suppose that's like saying "Oh You! You're real.", but now I'm just rambeling. You'll have to forgive my confusion, as you see, I'm a Wickan. But, I guess you all ready knew that. Well, I'd like to thank you for this beautiful earth that you've given us and to personally appoligize for any cans I didn't recycle or any overly long showers I took or any disposable diapers I ever used while babysitting, or for using styrafoam plates instead of paper, and there by making the planet a little less pretty. I appoligize for human beings in general fucking up this beautiful gift we have been given. Oh, sorry. Force of Habbit, saying fuck and all. Oh shit I just said it again. Oh, I give up. Are you laughing at me? Is Jesus laughing at me? Well hell. Oops. Ok, Jesus it's not that funny. Jesus Christ. No, sorry, an exclamation, not addressing you spacifically. Just a reaction to you're laughing at me. Anyway, I'm probably going to hell, and that scares me spitless, but I'd only offer up in my defense that I had fun in my life and never intentionally hurt people. I helped a lot of people too. Maybe not as many as I should have or could have, but I did try to do so on a farely regular basis. I've always believed in you in the sense that I knew there was someone, something out there that cared about us and that created us, but I've been calling it Spirit since I was about fifteen or so. I would only ask that if you are going to send me to hell that you should know that if eating too much at a meal, skipping classes, pleasuring my self on a regular basis, having sex outside of marriage, stealing quarters out of the vending machine when someone forgot to take their change, eating ice cream out of the carton and then putting it back, writing erotica, or faking sick from school so that I could sleep in the sun on our living room carpet or eating a cookie from our neighbor's kitchen table when I went over to take care of her dogs are very lame reasons in my opinion. I hope there's a better reason. I guess there probably is, I just wanted you to know that I am not sorry that I snuck out of church to play outside in the sunshine, or that I ate seconds when I wasn't very hungry and I just wanted more tasty food, or that I ran through the rain naked in the woods because it felt good, even if that is sin in your book. I want you to know that I loved you once. When I was five or six and they showed a video of what they thought was a close approximation of your life I watched it and I cried like crazy when you died. I sobbed and wailed and got very angry at the people who crusified you. I know I was only a kid, but those tears and that grief and anger was genuine. As I got older I found it harder and harder to believe in you. I wanted to, I really did. To keep from going to hell, of course, but also because I remembered what it was like as a kid to know you, to love you and to know that you loved me. But you can't just make your self believe, even if you want to very badly. I prayed to you and to your dad and asked them to help me to believe again. I prayed to you and told you that I was afraid of going to hell and that I was frightened and alone, but never receaving a response I just decided that it was more honest to stop attending church and pretending that I felt the way that people in church are supposed to feel and I started spending my Sunday mornings sleeping late, doing homework for the next day of school, walking outside and watching cartoons. I don't know where I was going with this, but I just wanted you to know that I tried. And if you could keep in mind that as a Wickan I have worshiped the moon and the sun, water, fire, air and earth, animals and plants, seasons and the moon cycle, all of which you created, and maybe I could get some make-up extra credit or whatever for that? And please take an extra hard look at my best friend and my boyfriend. i love them so very much and although neither one of them is a Christian they are damn good people. Sorry, well, no. I'm not sorry, they are. They're both DAMN GOOD PEOPLE!" By then I'm sure he'd either hug me, cover my mouth, tell me to shut up and bundle me off to heaven or just get tired of my squalking and kick me strait into hell. This is a scarry topic. I don't know if I'm glad I read it or not.
I think I'll say thanks for saving my life, then, I'll kneel and worship him because of his awesomeness. If he hadn't intervened, I wouldn't be here today.
That's true with all of us.
Personally, I dont believe I will ever come *face to face* with the Christ. If I am wrong however, I think I'd be too awestruck to say anything, and don't think that words would cut it if I could think of anything to say anyway. Sometimes, what is in your heart means far more than words.
I feel the same way sometimes too.
welshgeordie, when you are saved you will meet him face to face someday.
And it's true, probably we won't be able to say anything. All we can to probably is ust bow and worship. I don't think when I really see his glory I could say anything - no matter how many things I would like to thank him for. I guess I'd be speechless.
I think I would say sorry for all of the wrong things that I have done and thank him for forgiving me everytime. I guess I would want to know did he let me make those mistakes to teach me a lesson? interesting. God Bless
I'd probably start out with something like, "hey dude where you been?
Where were you while the jews baked in the ovens?
Where were you while people all over the world starved: starved for regular food, starved for knowledge, or starved for love.
Where were you when people twisted your words into a political slogan?
Where were you while people mistook mana for God?"
Then, maybe I'd say something like, "glad you could make it."
Bob
hmmmmmmmm Bob, good post and I guess I would want to know the answers to those questions and don't forget the many pleagues that killed millions and stalin, china when they killed people with tanks for wanting freedom.
Probably:
I know I have sinned, I know I am unworthy of your forgiveness, I might be too bad for your kingdom, and I know I have done things you would hate, but I love you. I truely do. Not the religions, but you, my lord. Please I thank you for letting me in to your kingdom. You are wonderful. My lord!
Hmm, I think I'd ask him what he thinks of the different ways in which his followers practise their faith in him. If I find, as I suspect, that he was just a blessed mortal, then I'll ask what he thinks of his fellow-humans giving him a divine status. If I find that he is mad and thinks himself a god when he's not, I'd ask what gives him that authority. And if I find that he is, as I also think might be possible, a demigod, I'd ask who is his actual father. Also, I'd like to know what really happened as far as the reserection.
Just a friendly request:
This is the safe haven category, so if you want to bash or mock any religion, this is not the board to do it.
Thank you.
If you're referring to my post, I was neither bashing nor mocking. I was completely serious in my answer and there was no sarcasm or even anger meant. If these questions can't be asked of the one who is the subject of them, then what would be the point?
As a matter of fact, I was not refering to specifically your post.
Who's post, mine? Why would it be mocking if I am confessing. Are we not allowed to confess? Are we not allowed to be wrong?
You know, at the time of me writing this particular post, there are 124 posts on this topic already, with just a few of them matching my definition of mocking and bashing.
Honestly, if the shoe fits you, ware it.
Ah good, cause I was feeling bad all night. I didn't want to come off as a total disrespectful idiot.
Sorry, just got a little defensive. You can't be too relaxed.
