I just wanted to express my appreciation for everyone! I know there are other folks like me who either do not have like mind believers to talk to in person or they only know a few. I've been in UR for about two years now. And up until three months ago, I knew nobody who is a believer in this in my town. So, Tentmaker is really serving a wonderful purpose I believe! :happy3: :cloud9:
FA,
It even makes your elephant happy :laughing7:
Gary is a man with a vision :thumbsup:

Genesis 1:31 (Amplified Bible)
And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
:cloud9: Aw, that was nice. I love your posts and your elephant, too. :thumbsup:
Thank you everyone for all the kind remarks. :happy3:

Agreed! FA, I always look for your posts.
You too, Anne.
Peace.

fullarmor, I feel the same way you do! I'm so glad you made it here, because I know how important it is to have people in your life who a like-minded and who you can have discussions with about things you believe, without being rejected and told you will go to hell for your views. It is SO important to have loving fellowship with others who believe the same... isolation is NOT fun and God did not design us to be in isolation.
I am really thankful for Tentmaker also. The fact that a place like this exists has given me so much hope. I am blessed because I do at least have one person in my "real life" (offline life) that I can talk to about UR, and that is my wonderful boyfriend. I was the one that first started questioning the teachings of eternal torment and who discovered the doctrine of UR, and he admitted to me recently that he had been concerned when I first got into it ("Oh God, what has she been reading?"), but he slowly began to realise that the stuff I was reading (mostly from Tentmaker) and the points I was coming up with were Biblically based and were actually fair enough questions and statements. I am at a point where I am convinced that UR is truth, and my boyfriend is at the stage where he is not quite convinced, but he is no longer convinced that ET is truth. I guess he is still at the "questioning" stage, and hasn't made up his mind. In any case, he is always SO willing to have discussions on UR and God. I am so glad Jesus gave me my open-minded, loving boyfriend. :HeartThrob:
And I am also glad that God has given us Tentmaker, and the wealth of other UR information on the internet too. We live in a very wonderful age! We can reach out and find people across the WORLD to be in fellowship with, rather than to feel rejected and isolated in our physical dwelling places because it is hard to find other UR believers.
Praise God :)
junkbunny,
That is an awesome testimony! I'm glad to hear it, and that your boyfriend is coming around also. That will be a great blessing to you both. And who knows, maybe you two will be able to get a group started where you are, perhaps a weekly bible study. In my town I finally discovered a few other people who know and believe this, and it was exciting to meet them for the first time let me tell ya. We try to get together on Sunday nights when we can for a study and fellowship. Anyway, I hope you two are able to do something similar where you are. Blessings to you both! Take care. :happy3:
