Dear Behold, "Water" is a spirit word (John 6:63) which represents the Holy Spirit/Christ. Spiritually blind believers can usually understand that much but there are some babes who are too blind to even understand that. Consider these verses on the Early and Latter Rains: Hos 6:3 Then shall...

Dear Behold, Christ says differently: Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Being "born again" (entering the Kingdom of Heaven) happens to a believer when they are converted (Latter Rain...

Dear RootedwithGod, Scripture teaches that there are only TWO groups of believers: 1. The first group is made up of unconverted believers who have only been given the Early Rain of the Spirit. They have been "called to be saints" but their election has not been confirmed. These believers...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You also said: No I don’t see any conflicts except I’m still not sure Jesus Christ is the Son or the Father. Only because He always pointed to the Father. And His Father to the Son. If I had one of those brain-exploding emoji’s right now, I would use it. I'm not sure if...

Dear VictoryinJesus, I believe that when Gal 4:25 is translated as saying "corresponds" rather than "answers to", the problem I saw goes away. This change also agrees what Paul said later about the New Jerusalem being the freewoman. So just as Paul said, the bondwoman & earthly Jerusalem are...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You are really making me pray, study and think on this one. I have not noticed that last portion of the verse before. Thanks for pointing it out. Here is a better translation: Gal 4:26 and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all, This is...

Dear GodsGrace, I have never said that I was a Calvinist or a universalist. I am neither. Are you a Catholic just because you believe in free will? Or maybe you are a Mormon or a JW for the same reason. All I am is the product of Christ's workmanship and nothing more. The truth that I teach...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: The New Jerusalem is the new spirit of the Bride which is governed by the Holy Spirit. It is also the new heart. Yes, I agree. You said: Why does it matter? I think it will matter towards the end of your post. When you speak on the woman whom is clean, conceives...

Dear GodsGrace, You said: I've explained EACH AND EVERY one of the verses you posted with how Christianity understands them to be. YOU instead have only kept repeating the same verses over and over WITHOUT giving an explanation as to HOW I'M wrong with my eisegesis. All of what you call...

Dear GodsGrace, You said: I gave you MANY verses about how we're required to do good works. I'm amazed that you don't believe the New Testament! You must not be reading what I write. It is Christ who causes us to "will and do of His good pleasure". When we do "good works", it is Christ who is...

Dear Behold, I learned a while back that scripture holds little value for you. If scripture doesn't say what you want it to say, you won't accept it. Also, everything that I write on the forum comes from me and no one else. I have a website (shown below my member name) with volumes of things...

Dear GodsGrace, The verses you quoted say NOTHING about how what causes a person "will and do". You are adding to God's Word when you ASSUME that mankind has the ability to do those things from a free will ability. Scripture teaches it truth "here a little, and there a little" (Isa 28:9-12)...

Dear Behold, You seem to have a problem understanding what you are reading. The verse says that NO MAN can call Jesus Lord but by having the Holy Spirit indwelling them. It also says that when a person has the Spirit, they can no longer call Him accursed (reject Him). Those are very...

Dear Behold, If what you say is true, then no can be saved because faith and belief in Christ happens only when a person has the Spirit. 1Cor 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: To prove YOUR point, you'll have to post some verses that state what you believe: That God CHOSE EVERYONE from the foundation of the world. I find no such scripture and I don't believe you will either. No, God does not choose everyone to be saved...

Dear GodsGrace, You said: For instance...you say man has no free will but Jesus stated that WE WERE NOT WILLING.... John 5:40 39“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: More questions: you seem to see New Jerusalem, and Gods seed, and what is born out of that communion …until Christ be formed in you. Is that birth of the bondwoman, or the freewoman? Same as the seed sown in the good ground, and bears fruit? What is the good ground...

Dear GodsGrace, Your reasoning concerning what these scriptures teach makes no logical sense. I will look at a few of your comments: Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own...

Dear VictoryinJesus, I have been busy on another thread. My responses may be slower than normal. You said: That to me says He is the first born among many brothers. Are those brethren born from above? I have trouble with this scripture because I believe it is not properly translated. Here is...

Dear GodsGrace, The verses I posted all teach that God intervenes in the "will" and "decisions" of mankind. You can treat them as "one" since they teach the same truth. Most people will try to prove that mankind has a free will by showing scriptures that tell mankind to make a choice. But...
