Where in the Bible does it say Jesus VISITED cemeteries? In the stories I have read He went to graves ON A MISSION to do a work. He did not lolligag and whimper and whine over the graves (or tombs) of the deceased. When Jesus wept at Lazuras' grave it was simply because of the mourner's lack of faith. Cemeteries and such have no need of missionaries, the people there are dead. It is too late for them. Where are you getting these prophecies from Elijah? Is there a website or something? Perhaps you should pray and apply the Word before posting them. Some of the things being said just do not line up with the Word. I would not ever dare to step on God's anointing. But, when that is not the case I will not hesitate to stand up and defend the Word. |

We know that when Jesus was crucified graves opened and the dead walked about and you mention Jesus delivering Lazarus from the tomb. If Jesus is God then he visited the cemeteries and they weren't the same after he visited them. So our buddy Paul G. enjoys quiet time in mauseleums or he is personally called to them .. I imagine it is quiet there . Do you think God calls us all to indentical acts of obedience? I don't have a desire to hang out in these places but I can believe that God might call someone else to do so. He is God after all and I am believing and hoping all things good about God's servant Paul G. Love the Lord thy God with all your heart soul and might and your neighbor as yourself. I don't think Paul G says Jesus went to loligag and whimper. Maybe you should reread his original post. I think you are adding some things that are not really implied. It is great that you wish to defend the written Word of God but lets not take our hammers and beat each other over the head with them. I don't think Paul's post was non scriptural. I hope I have not been too harsh . I do admire your bold desire to defend the written Word of the Lord. ![]() |
