Too Busy OCCUPY-ing -forgot about Rapture cop-outs!

Today is another Rapture Day--when those who do not want to follow Christ's command - to -"OCCUPY til I come" Lk-19 OKJV- try to get out with out a fight...

OCCUPY is a military term meaning-hold the ground won!...
My Jesus the Christ was/is not a whimp...and He expects us to not be whimps either!
Wild Bill on Wimps-he spells it differently than I...meaning's the same...:-)

hi, carol -- i think the word regent fits best. we're his representatives -- "occupy" is a tad bit too militaristic or aggressive for me. even though, we do fight a spiritual battle to be sure, i'm more concerned about using a vernacular that the un or non-believer would cause them concern. Christ told us to be shrewd and wise (not that you're not both!), and when i address the brethren (with a holy kiss!), i am blunt and use a Christian lexicon as appropriate. when i speak to a seeker or even the vehemently opposed to the gospel, i seek first to understand their worldview and then present a mars hill sort of dialogue.

just my two cents! see you here, there, or in the air.

glad to know you are still here--

Seeing as I have read - aloud- because it is rather like Shakespeare (his works need to be read aloud to be fully understood too) the King James Version -6+ times-I find that the translators were right on- and-
I have decided that I have no more time nor patience to be 'diplomatic'...
I am finding that the young people rather like my takes-

I'll send the other seekers to you...as I trust your outlook as well...:-)

I really like Wild Bill Carol. I'm glad that you found him. I believe that he is right about using the ax and not the scalpel. As a nation, we are circling the drain and people are beginning to get the sinking feeling that we are going down because of the lunacy in our capital.

Glad to see that there is still some backbone left in America!
