The Three Days of Darkness were May 5-7, 2016 A.D. and it was foretold that God would bring about the conversion of many souls during that time.

Your quoted post is the first confirmation of that prophecy which I have seen here.

JButler,

Before you're scared off of this forum, and think we're all a bunch of fruitcakes, please understand that thesign thinks he's the reincarnation of Old Testament prophets, and even the antichrist, and a false prophet. So please take everything he says with a grain of salt.
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

As usual, RickD, your opinion of me caresses the mental macabre while still embracing the negativity of a moron having a panic attack.

You'll be waiting for the remainder of eternity then, as I've posted none.

I'll start a topic on geese, maybe that will interest you.

As for JButler, you just might be as big a snob as some stuck-up, commie slovak, who as I recall, I don't recall.

Welcome JButler. I don't know what kind of music you like but I assume you've heard the Beach Boys before, so.

Yes you did. Here's but one:
I am Elijah (1 Kings 17) returned, even after death as John. All that has been (is) a part of my soul now. Yes, I've come through three wombs. I have personally known every king in chapter 11 of the Book of Daniel, at least 3 are deceased.

The best part of having ascertained the correct count is that on May 8, 2016 A.D., there will never be any more war, ever, ever, ever again.

Okay now you found me... :lol:

I can't hide darn it!

So what would you like to know?

Thanks Storyteller and B.W. for the warm welcome.

My question was concerning Calvinism. Grew up in a super hyper Calvinist atmosphere in a Reformed congregation which was so far beyond Calvin I didn't know it was Calvinist or who Jean Calvin was until the internet age!!! I left it at 19 and never stepped back inside. I've had various "issues" with the stuff they espoused especially as I began "My Journey Back" when I started paying attention to what the Bible really says...in context.
Bryan has answered my question very well. As I go along I'm sure I'll have more. :)

My life experience with farming then police career (almost 1/2 of that was forensics/crime scene) I have a lot of insight into the human race, nature, science etc. Which means I have a lot of thoughts and opinions on many things but not so much spiritual until recent years. My story may be interesting and hopefully of help to someone but its way too get into right now.
I feel I struck a gold mine here so you'll probably see some old posts dredged up as I discover them.

Thanks again. :-D
J - I will move this to another thread for others to review....
