Dear Five Doves, A few weeks ago it seemed as though many of us were getting a little frayed around the edges, either having differing opinions and beliefs about certain topics or differing thoughts as to whether such subjects as Sons of God and Daughters of Men, etc., etc., were important topics of study. Some thoughts came to mind, but as it really did seem as though "liftoff" was near, my two cents worth didn't seem important. I do want to share a bit with you all, however. You, John and all Five Doves, are very important to me. I am extremely blessed to be able to check in every day to see what the Five Doves have to say. Having you is like having a second church.
Christians are the body of Christ. We are different body parts and have different jobs and assignments to carry out in these last days. For some of us, the simple salvation message is all important and the only thing we feel drawn to, bringing in souls for the remaining harvest. For others, subjects such as the nephilim, UFOs, the NWO are really key to their learning and even worship. I personally love stuff like that, because it answers so many questions - how were the Pyramids constructed, for instance (giants, of course!), or what about dinosaurs, anyway? The flying wheels in Ezekiel? What is more fascinating than watching Chuck Missler on God TV? As for the New World Order, are our presidents really elected, or are they selected?
Daniel 12:4 says that in the last days knowledge will increase. We are there, brothers and sisters. I believe all these topics are a fufillment of that in some way. Anything outside of living out God's plan for our life is subject to error, but at the same time, much of it is mentioned in Scripture, in what has down through the centuries been some "obscure" little passage that was read, not understood and promptly forgotten.
I remember my grandma reading Chariots of the Gods, quite revolutionary for a middle America grandmother, a real salt of the earth type. I asked her what she thought about it, and she said, "Well, I don't know!"  Things such as this are here physically in the earth, and there is no reason to think God isn't aware of how it all came about.
But - this is very important - if you don't think it is for you to study, trust that God is giving you discernment about how to walk out your Christian life. We most likely aren't going to all be interested in this stuff, or we would all be at the library (smile). We each have our assignment, and God draws us to that assignment. If you are into all these subjects, great. If you aren't, also great. There is much to be done. Let's be at peace as much as possible, and not limit the Holy Spirit's work in our lives.
I would like to comment on something Nicole said recently about things she read in a book several years ago, things in society that were planned at the time and we know they are here now. Amen, sister. About ten years ago, I came across a copy of The Late Great Planet Earth, and I thought it would be a hoot to reread it. (I read it in the '70s, when I was in high school.) Well, "hoot" wasn't exactly how I felt about it after I had finished. TLGPE is full of things that I was sure wouldn't see earth until all Christians had been raptured and the Tribulation was here, and these things are commonplace today. They have been commonplace for years. It is so very late in the game, let's all endeavor to be on the same page and get the job done - no matter what our individual assignments may be. God Bless, and I love you all, Cynthia
