QUOTE(calvin @ Sep 20 2006, 07:58 PM) [snapback]152831[/snapback] Wow, this anticipation, like waiting for the second coming!   Ah yes ... the Blessed Hope ... for which we all await, and which has been announced as "soon" ever since the time of Paul the Apostle.But it is sure...... and it is also sure that all wickedness will meet its complete end at that time. Will some wickedness be brought to an end before that time? Will God act in magnificant and obvious ways as he did in the days of Korah or Annanias and Sapphira, or Herod, who allowed people to acclaim him as speaking with the voice of God? Or will God allow wickedness to work itself out to the end, providing a testing gound for some, a stumbling block for others, and in general demonstrating how evil looks when clothed in "garments of light". After all, God said it would happen..... so someone has to do it. It's one of those "stay tuned" situations.  But really ... Psalm 73 says it all. |

QUOTE(västergötland @ Sep 21 2006, 12:52 AM) [snapback]152848[/snapback] It would have been a good thing if the secound comming where to create this much anticipation. And perhaps it would be a good thing if the 3abn story would experience the kind of fatigue that the expectation of the secound comming is experiencing.. What I keep thinking back to is the origianl statement which claimed that Linda had already been vindicated, "Linda HAS been vindicated!" If that is the case and the vindication has happened (and it isn't some sort of self-vindication) then why can it not be public knowledge - or why isn't it already public knowledge. It seems that the public would need to know for it to be a real vindication. - fhb -------------------- But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they.

How long does it take to cook a 3abn stew?

I guess we're just holding it up to our ear and "shaking" it a little to see what's coming inside the box. Just like at Christmse, it's worth the waiting, usually. But it's all bout the anticipation, that makes it so special and unforgetable. shake shake shake  ... |

Could it be that even the angels are standing on the four corners of the fiasco of 3ABN, waiting for some to forsake their wrongs and make things right, so that the wind should not completely destroy the whole of 3ABN when "He just is not done with them yet?" God wants to save us all, even Danny, but the day of destruction will come. We have to remember that Jesus did not die to destroy us all--He died to save us all. Maybe He is waiting for those at 3ABN to come to seek forgiveness, but He will not wait forever. Along with the rest of you, I am anxious to see all this 3ABN lawlessness come to an end. It is hard for us to be patient when we know so many people have been hurt.
