That's great that she has friends like these people. A wise man once told me that if you can count your true friends on one hand then consider yourself a lucky person.
@poollife777 It sounds like you're having a hard time feeling the Holy Spirit today. Would you like me to join you in prayer? Sometimes, it really helps to have a prayer buddy.
Terri sounds like she was an amazing lady, and what a great voice she had as well. I’m so glad that she had people out looking for her right away and caring so much about her and I’m so sorry she passed away. I wish the outcome would have been different. Rest in peace, Terri, I can tell you’re always going to be missed and loved. ❤🕊️❤️🩹
Such a tragedy to lose someone so Superbly Talented, and Young. My heartfelt Sympathy and Condolences to All of Terri's family and friends. May she Rest In Peace.❤
People drop dead every day for a thousand reasons. She wasn’t a spring chicken. If you want to spread bs, spread your religion, but keep real health issues out of it.
It took 2 days to find her at an interstate Welcome Center? Wouldn't staff and maintence at that facility not notice a car that hadn't moved in several hours with someone inside who wasn't moving? I would have knocked on the window to determine if they were asleep.
@@Freshie13 in the New Testament… it says “ to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord”. Jesus also says to the thief on his left hanging on the cross that he would be in paradise with him today.
@@sbates1229 But also in the New Testament that only the righteous will see the kingdom of Heaven. It is only for Christians that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord - physically and spiritually. 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
@@sbates1229 hello friend, apologies for the delayed reply. It’s been a looong week. Your comment, on the face of it, seems sincere and worthy. But with some study, here is a response that may interest you. (Apologies for the length!) Rebuttal to 2 Corinthians 5:8: 2 Corinthians 5:8 is often cited to support the belief that Christians go to be with the Lord immediately upon death. The verse states: "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." To rebut this verse based on the belief that humans do not go to heaven immediately upon death, one might argue the following points: 1. **Context and Metaphor**: Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians 5:8 can be understood in the context of his desire and confidence in ultimate union with Christ. His phrase "away from the body and at home with the Lord" can be seen as expressing a general longing for resurrection and eternal life, not necessarily immediate transition upon death. 2. **Consistent with Sleep Metaphor**: The concept of being "away from the body" can be consistent with the sleep metaphor used elsewhere in the New Testament (e.g., John 11:11-14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14). In this understanding, Paul might be expressing his hope that after death (sleep), the next conscious moment will be the resurrection and being with the Lord. 3. **Intermediate State**: Some interpretations suggest an intermediate state between death and resurrection where believers are in a form of rest or sleep. This does not necessarily contradict being "at home with the Lord," as it can be understood that their final and complete union with Christ will be realized at the resurrection (Daniel 12:2). 4. **Paul's Other Teachings**: Paul's other writings, such as in 1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, emphasize the resurrection at Christ's return. These passages suggest that the dead in Christ will rise first at the Second Coming, aligning with the view that believers do not immediately ascend to heaven upon death. 5. **Acts 2:29, 34**: The example of David not ascending to heaven supports the interpretation that even the righteous do not immediately enter heaven upon death but await the resurrection. This reinforces the idea that Paul's expression in 2 Corinthians 5:8 should not be taken as an immediate post-death experience but as an ultimate hope. Considering these points, one can argue that 2 Corinthians 5:8 does not necessarily contradict the belief that the dead are in a state of sleep or rest until the resurrection. Instead, it reflects the confidence and hope in the eventual and assured union with the Lord. Rebuttal to Luke 23:43. This verse is another verse commonly cited to support the belief that believers go to heaven immediately upon death. The verse records Jesus saying to the thief on the cross, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." To rebut this verse based on the belief that humans do not go to heaven immediately upon death, one can address translation and punctuation issues: Punctuation and Translation: 1. **Punctuation in Greek Texts**: - Ancient Greek manuscripts did not contain punctuation marks. The placement of punctuation in modern translations is based on interpretive decisions by translators. - The placement of the comma in Luke 23:43 significantly affects the meaning: - "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." - "Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise." 2. **Reinterpreting the Comma Placement**: - By shifting the comma, the verse can be understood as: "Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise." This changes the emphasis from the timing of being in paradise to the timing of the promise. - This interpretation suggests that Jesus was making a promise on that day, rather than specifying the thief's immediate entrance into paradise. Biblical Context: 3. **Consistent with the Sleep Metaphor**: - This interpretation aligns with the broader biblical metaphor of death as sleep, as seen in John 11:11-14 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14. - It supports the idea that the thief's next conscious experience after death would be the resurrection and being with Christ, regardless of the time that passes. 4. **Paradise and the Resurrection**: - In biblical eschatology, "paradise" is often associated with the final resurrection and the New Earth rather than an immediate post-death state. - Revelation 2:7 and 22:1-2 describe paradise in the context of the new creation, reinforcing the understanding that paradise is a future promise realized at the resurrection. ### Supporting Texts: 5. **Acts 2:29, 34**: - The example of David not ascending to heaven strengthens the argument that the righteous dead await resurrection rather than experiencing immediate ascension. - This supports the view that Jesus' promise to the thief pertains to the future resurrection. 6. **Paul's Teachings on the Resurrection**: - Paul's emphasis on the resurrection at Christ's return in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 and 1 Corinthians 15 underscores that believers' ultimate union with Christ occurs at the resurrection, not immediately upon death. Conclusion: By considering these points, one can argue that Luke 23:43, when interpreted with an adjusted punctuation and within the broader biblical context, does not necessarily contradict the belief that the dead are in a state of sleep or rest until the resurrection. Instead, it reflects Jesus' assurance of the thief's future place in paradise, realized at the time of resurrection. Bible texts to support a state of sleep until resurrection: The view that humans do not go to heaven immediately upon death is supported by several Bible texts. 1. **Ecclesiastes 9:5** - "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten." 2. **John 11:11-14** - "After he had said this, he went on to tell them, 'Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.' His disciples replied, 'Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.' Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. So then he told them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead.'" 3. **1 Thessalonians 4:13-14** - "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." 4. **Acts 2:29, 34** - "Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day... For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, 'The Lord said to my Lord: 'Sit at my right hand.'" 5. **Job **14:10**-12** - "But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more. As the water of a lake dries up or a riverbed becomes parched and dry, so he lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, people will not awake or be roused from their sleep." 6. **Daniel 12:2** - "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt." 7. **Psalm 115:17** - "It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence." These texts suggest that the dead are in a state of sleep or unconsciousness until the resurrection at the end of times, rather than immediately going to heaven. Question: what is the point of resurrection if people go to heaven immediately upon death?
All those kind loving words.... Who was her best friend? Seems that person would want to know cause of death? Read she was found at the Monteagle Welcome Center. Last known to be making a delivery for a courier company she and her husband operated? What and who was she making a delivery? Will her husband and family release the autopsy report for us nobody who care what happen to Terri? Please post an update...
She seemed to have been a throw back from dear Sister Rosetta days. What could be better than gospel bues? May the Lord hold her family and friends close at this time. 🙏❤️
Monteagle used to have a fantastic restaurant called the Smokehouse. They would have live acts from Nashville on weekends, but unfortunately, the restaurant burned down and they “build” a small restaurant which isn’t even a fraction of what the other one offered.
I don’t think it was health issues.. I sense an evil , a darkness surrounding this.. I hope the police REALLY REALLY look into and not just dismiss . God Bless her and keep her. Ps her singing sounds somewhere between Janis Joplin and Stevie Nix.. I love them BOTH ! Btw.. if Janis had not passed so young.. she would be in her 70s right now.., correct me if I’m wrong ❤
I think it depends on your heart and how you hear, interpret, and feel the music in the presence of God with others. You cannot determine that by looking at people.
Did you know that god doesn’t read all the RU-vid comments to count up all the people who say they’re praying for something? A RU-vid comment is not a prayer. Oh wait, god isn’t real so never mind.
