[QUOTE="ArmenianJohn, post: 76143323, member: 324023"] Well, don't we all? But Paul wrote much more than that. From you I have yet to see much more than that, though. Why would I criticize Paul? As I said, he says much more than that. You selectively quote that phrase out of context. Paul started out by explaining that "to live is Christ but to die is gain". Your posts clearly indicate that you believe that "to die is gain" and that you "look forward" to heaven for that reason. What I don't see from your posts (but I did see from Paul) is that "to live is Christ" and that he is "torn between the two" and that he ultimately decides that "Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me." - in other words he will remain on earth, in the body, and serve the Lord. Of course you can! Who said you can't? Can I not disagree with your opinion? Isn't that what a discussion board is about - discussing things? You seem to feel "forced" by things in life which are not forcing you to do anything. Here it sounds like you feel like someone is trying to force you to not dislike what you dislike... Why would you even ask such a thing? You expressed your frustration and followed that by saying how you are eager for the rapture. The rapture is a departure from this earthly life. What did I misunderstand or misrepresent there? I didn't express my frustration with you - I simply stated what I observed in your posts. I guess my question is why are you frustrated with the vaccines? Vaccines that you apparently trust enough to have chosen of your own free will to receive??? My only frustration is that you seem to avoid answering that while denying what you've already made clear about wanting to depart from this life just because of the vaccines. Aren't you grateful to the Lord that He has generously provided a vaccine that is capable of ending a worldwide pandemic that has hurt and killed millions? Is that not a good thing in our lives? Don't you want to see your fellow man helped by this? [/QUOTE]
