    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    It is true that sin is not the issue, it is unbelief. Sin is in the flesh, not in the new seed. Sin, the flesh and the law were taken to the cross.

    Do We Have A Religious Christianity Today Mixed with the Real Church (The church is a group of people, known by God)

    I think we do, it's always the same 2 seeds, seen in Genesis. It's in the world, and in the church. This system, It leans towards legalism, doctrines, methods, habits, formalities and other things similar to this. The problem with doctrinal Christianity, is that it has huge gaps, and lacks in...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Bright I agree. And it is true the scriptures are a true foundation, and needed just like the OT and NT says.... But I would submit there is another side of the word that people don't always acknowledge. In fact what did the OT mean by the use of the words "The Word". Most of the time it was...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Jesus kind of settles sovereignty vs free will when He says "not my will but thine. God can be trusted to make all the right decisions, even when it causes us pain or sorrow. This understanding comes from a relationship with God, to protest might betray a lack thereof.

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    People believe it is UNFAIR, for God to chose... What does the bible show us? Genesis / The Fall, if you think that was an accident, you have a real problem. No Fall, no Israel, no law, no grace, no Jesus on the cross, no resurrection, no heavenly supper, no Rev Ch1-21... Satan was in the...

    John14.6 Testimony

    Dear John Don't be concerned about that. I think God had to do all these things in my life, I was and am such a BAD CASE, you were not. You were just a person who had some questions, the same as a lot of young people and grown ups too. Plus if God speaks to you thru His word, that is a...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    And here is some more for you to ponder: One day everyone leaves. (Pretty sure they needed a break). I'm alone, sitting at the kitchen table, it starts to rain. Suddenly I hear that same voice I heard so many years ago, in the 70's. (I'm just going to share bits and pieces here, and not in...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Yes He does... I became a believer in the 70s. My first year in Jesus was as if I had walked into the book of acts. One day while hitchhiking I get into a car full of 5 kids, in 20 minutes 4 of them are saved, because God told me to tell them, that He was going to share secrets about their...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    We need to see the difference between what is spoken and what is written, Let me share from my posted testimony... I'll just paste a small portion of it below: "I arrive back home, and later that evening, I'm all alone, my mom has gone to work. I sit on the couch, and I hear the following...

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    UHH I agree with every scripture you listed, and how does that supposedly go against anything I stated in my post which is not opinion? Please clarify

    Only the Apostles were Predestined

    Here is a simple timeline for salvation. *** This is not my opinion, my doctrine, my denominational stance, or my interpretation. This is just what the scriptures state: 1). Before the foundation of the world, God The Father chose some people, and wrote their names into the book of life. 2)...

    You ever here this question from non-believers? Why did God kill in the OT and say Love others in the NT ?

    2 seeds are in Genesis 3:15 "Your seed vs her seed"... This is why... Satan has a seed. This is clearly stated and needs no interpretation: In hermeneutics, what applies to Eve in the same sentence also applies to Satan. So the one seed, had to be destroyed or they would have killed off the...

    John14.6 Testimony

    Here is 2nd part. I became a believer in the 70s. My first year in Jesus was as if I had walked into the book of acts. One day while hitchhiking I get into a car full of 5 kids, in 20 minutes 4 of them are saved, because God told me to tell them, that He was going to share secrets about their...

    John14.6 Testimony

    Yes I love that song too. The old hymns, the writers sure seemed to understand the deeper things. I'll post my testimony below for you to read. I'll start at the beginning and end with God extending His mercy and grace, while alone, one afternoon. I came from a violent home, (drugs, alcohol...
