Dear Marty Fox, You are right that Rev 20:4 is spiritual and it applies to every Elect believer at the time they are converted ("they came to life"). Here is what the thousand years represents as taught by the marriage analogy used in Revelation chapter 19 & 20: The book of Revelation teaches...

Dear gordon7, There are "works of Christ" and there are "works of man". A believer must understand the difference between these two types of works. I'll try to explain below: The apostate church claims their works as being their own works (as supported by the Doctrine of Free Will) which...

Dear gordon7, Did you not read the verses I posted? They are not hard to understand. Christ's work is spiritual which means it happens within mankind. He is the one who causes a believer to "will and DO of His good pleasure". The works that a believer does are CAUSED by Christ to happen. He...

Dear Godon7, Isa 26:12 O Jehovah, thou appointest peace to us, for, all our works also thou hast wrought for us. Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Jer 10:23 I know, Jehovah, that the way of man is not his own; it is not in a man that...

Dear quietthinker, It is by the "foolishness of preaching" that an fallen away believer is told the truth of God's Word. If the believer is one of the Elect and Christ has healed their spiritual blindness, they will be able to receive the truth of that preaching. When they do, their restored...

Dear face2face, Yes, mankind (being carnally minded and sinful) has no ability to understand Christ or to have faith in Christ. Only the children of God (those who have the indwelling of the Early & Latter Rains of the Holy Spirit) have that ability. Because of such, mankind is totally at the...

Dear gordon7, You do not understand conversion or the plan Christ established to save mankind. Mankind is condemned already because of sin and everyone is headed for that death. Before that happens though, Christ will come to every person who has ever lived and freely give them a new birth...

Dear face2face, You said: 15:14 Simeon has explained how God first concerned himself to select from among the Gentiles a people for his name. Ac 15:14. KJV has "to take" here it has "to select" to mean its an invitation. Salvation is essentially the calling of God. To fit what Peter said into...

Dear face2face, You said: True...a gift only to those who seek to understand & believe "Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? Acts 11:17 You keep falling back to mankind having the ability...

Dear face2face, You said: Yes the free gift of grace has the potential to save the many, that is true however not all will be saved. Why do you believe Christ can't save all mankind when scripture clearly teaches that Christ will save all mankind? There are many, many verses which state this...

Dear face2face, You are making assumptions about what "many" can mean. It can mean "all" just as Paul used it in Heb 9:28 and just as he uses it below: Rom 5:15 But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the MANY have died, much rather has the grace of...

Dear face2face, It's not my gospel. It's Christ's gospel. I showed you the scriptures but you refuse to believe them. Joe

Dear 12question, Before Christ appears to a believer, they must receive both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit. When they receive the Early Rain, they will have a measure of faith and certain spiritual gifts. It is at this point they will make a confession of faith and will enter the...

Dear face2face, The cost? The cost is the suffering and death of Christ on the cross plus His spiritual work that He is presently performing under the New Covenant. There is no other cost because mankind cannot contribute anything toward their own salvation. Secondly, the tares, goats and...

Dear face2face, I wanted to make one more point which may be why you asked the question in the first place. The "we also" in verse 11 is in contrast to the "all things" mentioned in verse 10. Here is the full scripture: Eph 1:10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him...
