Dear St.SteVen, I agree with much of what you stated in your series of posts except for this post above. The false teaching of eternal hell by the apostate church has no effect on whether or not an unbeliever will turn to Christ. When Christ is ready for an unbeliever to accept Him as...

Dear Johann, Faith is a free gift that only comes from God. If God doesn't give faith to a person, they will never have it. The natural man is just too carnally minded to ever produce their own faith in Christ. Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is...

Dear Johann, Why do you think that salvation is limited to this age? You should read Joel 2. The setting is the final age when the "lost" of Israel (who are last to be saved) are being judged in the Lake of Fire. And just as Mat 23:23 says, at some point during their judgment, Christ will...

Dear Johann, I am not a "universalist" in the sense that you probably mean. I do not associate with any denominational churches. All denominational churches are apostate and they mix works with faith - this includes the universalist churches. I do believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of...

Dear Johann, 6. Doesn’t the New Testament show that salvation is connected to faith? Yes, a person's faith is what makes Christ's pathway straight for Him to come and convert a person. For any person to have faith in Christ, they must be given the Holy Spirit. Faith is a gift from God...

Dear Johann, 1. How should we interpret Jesus’s words regarding ‘hell’ or ‘Gehenna,’ ‘the outer darkness,’ ‘the fire that is not quenched,’ ‘the worm that does not die,’ and the like? Mar 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having...

Dear Phoneman777, Calvinism is just another branch of the apostate church. They consume leavened bread (Mat 13:33) just as all the 2,000 different denominations/sects of Satan's church do. As for comparing mankind to Satan, here is what scripture teaches: 1John 3:8 He that committeth sin...

Dear Phoneman777, You said: Relationships help us understand the character of God - whether between humans or beasts. How sad that Calvinists look to satan's "Religion of Exclusivity" to do the same. No, relationships do not help a person understand the character of God. You really need to...

Dear Phoneman777, The only way any person can submit to God's authority is the way Paul did on the Damascus Road and that is by Christ giving them the Holy 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...

Dear Phoneman777, If you want to find the truth of God, you should look for it in scripture and not in your dad's puppies. Your belief in free will is contradicted by these numerous scriptures: Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... SUMMARY Seventy weeks of years (490 years) were ordained for Christ to accomplish the goals listed in Dan 9:24 for the OT Faithful and the Elect. They will be the heirs of the promises made to Abraham. After 483 literal years had passed, Christ started His...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... THE 70TH WEEK At the start of the 70th week (483 years), Christ started His ministry on earth to fulfill the covenant He made with Abraham: Matt 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying...

Dear CTK, I agree that there are 3 1/2 years left for Christ to fulfill the prophecy. As for the rest of you comments, I can't agree with very much. I will say that your understanding is a little better than what I usually encounter. Rather than try to respond to all your points, I will...

Dear CTK, That is correct. This will be difficult for you to understand. I will add my comments in blue to the scripture. Hopefully, this will make it easier for you. Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (this...

Dear GodsGrace, You said: This is not what you said originally. My statements do not contradict each other. God does all the works in us and through us. We repent, we have faith and we make a confession of faith, we do good works BUT it is the Holy Spirit within us who is the one who causes...

Dear marks, In the letter, Peter was addressing babes who had the same precious like faith: 1Pet 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: A person obtains...

Dear GodsGrace, A believer's "good works" are the evidence of their conversion. They happen because of what this verse teaches: Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. In other words, the good works that a converted believer does are not their...

Dear marks, You said: And again, "here a little there a little" is a reference to teaching babies. That's why the Jews were so offended by it. Picking out bits here and there, and rewriting them to fit your ideas is not the way to receive the meat of the Word. One way we sumbit ourselves to...

Dear marks, Yes, words have meanings. But there are two kinds of words; carnal words and spirit words. The carnal words of this world have meanings assigned to them by mankind. The spirit words of Christ have meanings assigned to them by the Holy Spirit. John 6:63 It is the spirit that...

Dear GodsGrace, It is apostate believers who practice "religion" and it is Satan who formed it. In this religion, Satan masquerades as Christ and teaches another gospel by another spirit. 2Cor 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive...
