Well, hope you enjoy the fellowship here at TJ and continue to grow in the Lord with the rest of us.

I've read how very difficult it is today for anyone to get into the military. My nephew was the only one in his class at UF to be accepted into the Marine Corps Officer Corps. We went to his pinning when he received his sword. He had to go through 2 boot camp training sessions before he could be pinned. He's been accepted into the pilot training program and as soon as he finishes his second half of weapons training he's off to Whiting Field near Pennsicola, Fl. I send him scripture generally whenever I send scripture to our children. He took, as I recall, 8 semesters of Arabic. I've been witnessing to him since he was very young. The only reason any of us is here is to find Christ and be refined for The Lords work.

Amen Brother!
I will pray for your nephew that God will as His word says a "lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path". That our Lord may be a guiding light for him as he journeys on this new path he has embarked on. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

I don't know if you've read this post from Brother Brighthouse, but it is one you might share with your nephew. No shame in standing tall for the Lord no matter where you are or what you may be doing! Click the link below to get there.

What if you die tonight | Talk Jesus

Pray this may move him to knowing the Lord as His Savior if he doesn't already. At the very least to setting him on the path to doing so.

Thanks for sharing Jim.

He strongly professes his faith. It's too bad that our military is trying to get Christianity out. What must ultimately happen for all Heaven bound Christians is the rebirth. For a number of years I thought I was born again. Over 24 years ago God called me and after being illuminated I was quickly taught the true fear of The Lord. He continues to refine me. There are 3 ultimate destinations for a soul. There is Heaven, there is the new earth and there is hell. I have tasted of all three. I have met very few who truly know what I'm talking about. In the day of their visitation, first spoke of by Moses in The Book of Numbers, they will understand. I thank God for his patience. First his patience with me and second his patience with the world. No man wants to see the great and terrible day of The Lord.

I agree with you that the instances of persecution in the military are increasing. You can even Chaplains in the military as well!

As curious as I am about the concept/s that you have mentioned in your post. It might be a better idea to move that particular discussion to another location on TJ. Maybe in "Bible Study", or "The Evidence" section. You might even try "Water Cooler". Regardless, know one thing that if it's dealing with Scripture, you will find many a view to include comments which may challenge even the most learned of individuals! However, if truth is its foundation, then it should truly be a posting I would look forward to reading and commenting on.

I appreciate the heads up on where to post scripture. Since I'm new to the site your info. should be very helpful.
