What was your greatest fear as a kid?

[Independent thinker]

Say when you were 10-12 years old?

I was asked that question and being a pretty fearless outdoor type of kid about all I could think of was when mom said "just wait till your father gets home" after I messed-up.

It was usually a hollow threat....But sometimes it wasn't.

I vividly remember being afraid of cars because I watched television and saw cars blow up when someone turned the key to start them. I never knew that could happen until seeing it happen on television.

When I was six, seven, eight, and nine years of age I was afraid that the "Hellfire and Brimstone" sermon that I had heard back in 1965 or '66 might be correct and pretty much my whole family was headed in the wrong direction.

I got over that fear for a while after hearing Evangelist Garner Ted Armstrong teach The Soul Sleep Theory but then in 1990 when I started to research near death experience accounts I revisited that fear that I had had as a child!

Genesis 9:2​

Genesis 9:

Covenant of Mercy.

9: “As for me, I will establish my covenant with you and your descendants after you, 10. with every living creature along with you—the birds, tame and wild animals, and with all the animals which left the ark. 11 I will establish my covenant with you: never again will all living creatures be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will the earth be laid waste by a flood again.”

12;God said, “This will be a sign of the covenant that I establish between me and you and every living creature for all generations. 13I will place my rainbow in the clouds and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I gather the clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds. 15I will remember my covenant between me and you and with every living creature of every kind, that water and flood shall never again destroy all flesh. 16. The rainbow will be in the clouds and I will look upon it and remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is found upon the earth.”

17.God said to Noah, “This is a sign of the covenant that I am establishing between myself and every creature upon the earth.”
