    Only One Way to the Father

    Dear MatthewG, You said: Thank you for your efforts but people should understand, I have to make up my own mind, and decide for myself. What you stated is exactly right but you must realize that truth is only given to a person by Christ and at a time of His choosing. You have no ability to...

    Only One Way to the Father

    Dear MatthewG, Your statement says that a person can "look to God in faith" without the Holy Spirit indwelling them, however, scripture says that mankind has no such ability. You then say that when a person does the impossible of looking to God in faith, that God will then decide by His own...

    Only One Way to the Father

    Dear MatthewG, You stated: While I do believe people who may not know everything about Jesus and they look to God in faith, he by his choice will give them the Holy Spirit, and in the end of life come to know the one whom had gave them new life. This is an unscriptural statement. No one can...

    The Day of the LORD (YHWH) is the Second Coming of Christ.

    Dear JLB, Paul is teaching about the bodily resurrection from the grave in 1Thes 4:13-18 and not the second coming of Christ. Paul teaches this same message on the bodily resurrection from the grave in 1Cor chapter 15. When you read both passages, you should be able to see that Paul is...

    The Day of the LORD (YHWH) is the Second Coming of Christ.

    Dear JLB, 2Thes 2:2:1-2 is referring to the same event as presented in Mat 24:29-31. This event is when an Elect believer is spiritually changed and is spiritually gathered to heaven. The person being gathered to heaven is the newly born child of God. Only the children of God spiritually...

    Jesus clears the temple; and the cursed fig tree.

    Dear MatthewG, Jesus' clearing of the temple is a "type" which teaches a spiritual truth. It teaches what Christ is going to do for a person when He judges them. This time of judgment is called the Day of the Lord. When Christ judges a person, He will clear out all the spiritual things...

    The Day of the LORD (YHWH) is the Second Coming of Christ.

    Dear JLB, 2Thess 4:13-18 which you quoted is not a teaching on the second coming of Christ and the Day of the Lord. It is a scripture which teaches about the bodily resurrection from the grave for the Elect. As for the other verses you quoted, they do apply to the second coming and the Day...

    The two witnessss

    Dear Douggg, There is nothing more I can do to try and help you understand. As with all mankind, you must wait on the Lord to heal your spiritual blindness and convert you - and God's Word promises that He will do just that: 1Tim 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our...

    Dear Douggg, You asked: Where in the text of Revelation 11:3-12 does it say the two witnesses become apostate ? Here is where: Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them...

    The two witnessss

    Dear Douggg, The topic is about the Two Witnesses who experience the Early and Latter Rains along with them falling away and becoming apostate. The prophecy ends with their conversion. This is what I am discussing. If you have no ability to understand what this prophecy is actually teaching...

    The two witnessss

    Dear Douggg, I am not going off on tangents. You simply do not understand that Christ teaches the New Covenant truths in His spiritual language. Christ teaches in this spiritual language to keep His truth concealed from everyone but His converted Elect. Because unconverted "babes" (Spirit of...

    Dear Douggg, It is only after Christ has given a person the Latter Rain of the Spirit that their spiritual blindness will be healed. Once it is healed, Christ will appear in the clouds and will then gather the newly born child of God to heaven. Christ appears in the clouds because it is His...

    Dear Douggg, The teachings of the New Covenant are presented in Christ's spiritual language so that carnally minded believers (babes) will not be able to understand their messages. The book of Revelation is no exception. The text of Rev 11:3-12 repeats the same message that is taught over...

    Dear ScottA, Like your question, your comments make little sense and they are not supported by scripture. Firstly, no one can hinder the Latter Rain of the Spirit from falling on them or anyone else. If you believe that anyone can, then it is a sign that you believe in man's works and that...

    Dear ScottA, Yes, Christ decides when and where previous scripture is applicable and fulfilled because He is the Word of God. Scripture is a written witness of Him. However, Christ will heal the spiritual blindness of His Elect when He pours out the Latter Rain of the Spirit upon them. With...

    Dear ScottA, You are misapplying the teachings of scripture. The reason that truth is taught "here a little, and there a little" is to make it more difficult for a person to know the truth so that they will fall prey to Satan's deceptions. In addition, by teaching truth "here a little, and...

    Dear ScottA, Why do you believe that the truth of Christ is "simple"? It is not. Christ's New Covenant teachings are meant to be understood ONLY by the converted Elect who have had their spiritual blindness healed and have been given a love for the truth. For everyone else (the children of...

    Dear ScottA, The number "two" in the spiritual language of Christ means the witness of God. It does not mean a literal number. In this age, the Elect are Christ's witnesses. So in this sense, the two witnesses represent one Elect person. In the prophecy, the Elect person will begin the...

    Dear tailgator, The Two Witnesses' prophecy is a spiritual teaching on the pathway to salvation that the Elect will "keep" in order to reach their moment of conversion. It is not a teaching about a one-time future event as you are contending. Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that...

    For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God...

    Dear FeartheLord, Mankind, being carnally minded, as no ability whatsoever to have faith in Christ or to follow God's commandments. I presented you some of the scriptures which say so. If mankind had those abilities, the Old Covenant of Law would have been able to make a person righteous...
