My father probably does. He has been hit by lightning twice.

OH! Wow. If one is going to challenge the odds like that you always hope it would be winning at a lottery twice or something good.

Wait...your grandfather doesn't fly kites with keys does he?

Even Jesus said you can't save them all.
Really, you are sure about that? Perhaps the reference to not all that call Jesus Lord will not be part of the 1,000 year reign and will have to wait with the rest of the desolate before God Himself welcomes them into the Kingdom at the Great White Throne event.

Lu:3:6:
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

1Co:15:39:
All flesh is not the same flesh:
but there is one kind of flesh of men,
another flesh of beasts,
another of fishes,
and another of birds.

Only the Dead Sea is made healthy for the 1,000 year reign, the rest of the planet is made healthy when the new earth verses start to unfold.

M't:22:32:
I am the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob?
God is not the God of the dead,
but of the living.

Lu:12:6-7:
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings,
and not one of them is forgotten before God?
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore:
ye are of more value than many sparrows.

They call it blind faith because you have to be blind to believe it. The vast majority of evidence is that he never existed and that the stories are allegories and metaphors. Taking them literally requires blind faith. When you believe something to be true (without evidence) the mind will manifest its own evidence.

Shake off the YouTube and Achiria S malarky and ask the naked Jew archeologist from U of T

My dog doing a fake charge on a walk has made a number of elderly feel like they were 35 again for a second or two. When reminded of that they usually quit swearing. Name anybody that lived to any age and moments before death would have said, 'Gee that was fun lets do it again.' or would it be more like, 'Note to self, next time avoid death, end message.'

Please correct "Thousand rear reign".

Could be like a Satanic thing. Was it a mistake?

I don't want to be thirty-five again, I always carry a dog club, you would have had to drag them home on the leashes. I'd spare you though. You'd be about twelve by then.http://forums.canadiancontent.net/images/icons/icon7.gif

Be nice if saying, 'Bad Satan, bad.' was enough to keep the hounds at bay. Rip away, what's a few pounds of flesh these days. Eating it might make your young muscles tired so consider yourself warned.

The 35 again things last about 5 seconds, just long enough that an old brain realizes that there was no danger in the first place. It was a body and not a mind thing mostly as the shy smile that came after was wisdom at it's fullest. Caught being a fool is the common assessment, still embarrassing. (the lies to cover up don't seem as important later on)

When Satan is cast out of heaven thing drunk coming out backwards of any decent saloon in the wild wild west. Rear part first and the legs just aren't keeping up. Just so yo know how the money-changers looked when God came looking for them, twice, that second time must have sucked big-time.

So as I gather your dad got saved twice by the sword of the lord and lived to die much later because of it?

No, he is still alive. For how much longer, who knows? Im guessing 10-15 years if he's lucky. There isn't really any way to 'save' someone's life when you think about it. You just delay the inevitable.
