Hey sigourney w. welcopme to Christians Unite forum. I look forwards to reading some of y'alls posts. Most of us here are conservative Christians. You are right, the Bible should be taken literally. What God promises, have happened, or will happen in the future.
I'm also in the south, Arizona that is.......
This is the day I look forwards to happen. It will happen though in His time, not mans.
So until then...................Bob
Proverbs 14:24-26 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
