Dear Doug, All mankind has sinned which means that all mankind are the children of the Devil. 1John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever...

Dear Doug, I want to leave you with one last comment. Understanding is only given by Christ. That is why Christ says to ask Him for understanding. If you read my conversion testimony, you would see that I asked for understanding just before Christ poured out the Latter Rain upon me. Jer...

Dear Doug, I did support it with scripture by showing how Christ uses His Sword to convert a person. Look at this verse: Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast (Man of Sin/apostate babe)...

Dear Doug, The true church is made up of individuals who are in need of maturing into a perfect man. Their individual growth is the purpose for the gifts. 1Cor 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether...

Dear Doug, Yes, the mystery of God was revealed to Paul but Paul also says that he teaches it in a "mystery". He does so by teaching it using Christ's spiritual language. I know that the "many" teach that truth is clearly presented in scripture but the scriptures that I posted teach...

Dear Doug, There is no scripture that supports your statement. The reason the churches of today do not have the gifts is because they are apostate. Also, for a person to have faith in Christ, Christ MUST give the person the Early Rain of the Spirit (the small amount). Without the Spirit...

Dear Doug, The Early and Latter Rain concept is taught in scripture but the apostate churches of this world are blind to it. The concept is at the core of the "great mystery of Christ and His church" (Eph 5:32). I had many more scriptures on the Early and Latter Rain in my earlier post but I...

Dear Doug, You said: I take it you are saying we get the Spirit in installments per se whereas the Bible says we receive it all and are sealed ........... Yes, the Spirit is given in TWO installments. Even the Apostles and Paul are shown to have received the Spirit in TWO installments. Here...

Dear Doug, You said: saints are holy as well so you cant base which is which on this verse alone You are exactly right. That is why we must look to other scripture to find out who comes back with Christ when He brings the Latter Rain and salvation. 2Thes 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest...

Dear Doug, I want to focus on 1Thes 3:13 because it is vital for a correct understanding of the second coming of Christ. First of all, the verse is not properly translated. It should read: 1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even...

Dear soberxp, You asked: What if we don't know the word of God? We will be like the world today, calling good evil and evil good (blind and Deaf)? The short answer to your second question is YES. Without the knowledge of the truth, a believer will call evil good and good evil. I will explain...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Satan the crooked serpent masquerades as an angel of light (Christ) and has deceived the church. Christ is not a serpent as you see Christ to be. If you won't receive truth from scripture, there is nothing I can do to help you. Joe

Dear Eternally Grateful, You are blaspheming the name of Christ by saying that Christ is represented by a serpent. There are zero scriptures which use the spiritual symbol of a serpent to represent Christ. A serpent only represents Satan. You are misunderstanding the spiritual language of...

Dear Eternally Grateful, You said: No. It represents the animals that would be sacrificed according to the law. And as Jesus said, it represents him hanging on a cross. You are right when you said that the serpent of the pole represents the Old Covenant which is based upon man's attempt to make...

Dear Eternally Grateful, You are greatly misunderstanding the spiritual message of the serpent on the pole. The serpent on the pole foreshadows the coming of the Old Covenant of Law which is based upon the works of man. This is the crooked way. The reason that the serpent was used on the...

Dear Dash, The "few" are the Elect and are the spiritual seed & heirs of Abraham. Their inheritance is an early salvation (First Fruits of the harvest) and the honor & glory of reigning with Christ upon the earth during the final age (the Lake of Fire age). And as I pointed earlier, during...

Dear Eternally Grateful, There are many better passages than John 10-18 which teach how Christ saves the Elect. Paul's conversion "type", parable of the Ten Virgins, parable of the Wheat and Tares and Matthew chapter 24 are just a few of them. What you do not understand is that mankind (who...

Dear Taken, Don't you know that Christ's death on the cross earned Christ the keys to death and hell? Now, all mankind will be resurrected from the grave. Those who have been spiritually resurrected/converted (the sheep) before they physically died will be found in the Lamb's book of life...

Dear One2question, I hear your passion and love for Christ in your post. When I read it, my heart filled with joy. And yes, what a great day the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles will be when all our unbelieving family and friends become our brothers & sisters in Christ. That day will come...

Dear DashRipRock, You said: In the end, not all the world is saved and Jesus said only a few find the salvation that Jesus paid for even though Jesus paid for the sins of the entire world. Matthew 7:13,14 - Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that...
