Dear GodsGrace, After Paul's departing, the entire church which was made up of "babes" (Early Rain only), was completely devoured by the wolves (Acts 20:29-31). Nothing has changed since that time and it won't change because it is God's "will" for all babes to become apostate. The teachings...

Dear Marks, Context is not all that important because Christ teaches "here a little and there a little". Consider the context of this verse, compared to what Christ was actually teaching: Mat 26:52 Then said Jesus unto him, put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the...

Dear GodsGrace, You haven't heard Revelation explained this way before because all the public teachers are apostate and they only have a carnal understanding of scripture. Joe

Dear marks, Christ comes to us a the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit: Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he (Christ) shall come unto us as the RAIN, as the Latter and former (Early) RAIN unto the earth. John says...

Dear ChristinaL, The words of Christ are spirit (John 6:63) and he uses them in His "another language" (Isa 28:9-12). Spirit words carries meanings that are different than what man's wisdom teaches (1Cor 2:13). To understand spirit words, you must compare spiritual words with spiritual words...

Dear marks, Just a quick response: 2Cor 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. A person is only made into a chaste virgin by having the Spirit within them which gives them their faith...

Dear marks, My post to ChristianL answers your question. Here is a portion of my post plus a little more: Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came...

Dear GodsGrace, This verse applies to our discussion: Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the...

Dear marks, To understand the parables, a person must understand the spiritual language of Christ and then look elsewhere in scripture to fill in the gaps. In Paul's writings, the Early Rain occurs when an unbeliever receives the Early Rain of the Spirit. With the Spirit, the new believer is...

Dear marks, I presented a few teachings in my post to ChristianaL. Joe

Dear GodsGrace, I used to believe very much like you do prior to my conversion in 2005. But everything changed for me after Christ gave me the Latter Rain of the Spirit and healed by spiritual blindness. At that time, my worldly paradigm with which I understood God's Word changed to a...

Dear Christinal, There are many scriptures which teach that the churches that were started in the 1st century all became apostate shortly after Paul's death. Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own...

Dear GodsGrace, You asked: Confessing and believing are works? Yes, they are works if you claim them as coming from your own free will ability. You are denying the truth that is taught in the verses below: Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: You say Eve put her own desires above Gods. OK. So you believe Eve had her own desires. This means she had free will. So how does you using Proverbs 20:24 make any sense? No. Eve had a "will" but it was not free. You are making that assumption...

Dear GodsGrace, You asked: What version are you reading? What do you think Ecc 1:13 is stating? The translation is from the Concordant Literal Translation. Here is the full verse: Ecc 1:13 Ecc 1:13 I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom all that is done under the heavens...

Dear marks, Yes, confessing and believing is something that we do BUT it is caused to happen by Christ after He gives us both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit. Prov 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. Phil 2:13 For it is God...

Dear GodsGrace, Salvation does not come before faith and I do not teach that it does. Faith in Christ is what makes Christ's pathway straight for Him to come and convert a person into the new vessel. This spiritual process is called conversion and is taught over and over again in scripture...

Dear GodsGrace, You asked: Where does the bible state that Adam and Eve sinned because God planned for them to sin? Ecc 1:13 An experience of evil God has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it. Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so...

Dea marks, The "many" who received Christ are the ones who were given the Early Rain of the Spirit from God. They received Christ not by their own "will" but by God's "will". You are fitting your belief in man's works into scripture when it is not there. Look at what Christ told Peter. This...

Dear marks, Your comments are untrue and only show your ignorance of how Christ saves mankind. To be saved, Christ knows that mankind must be "born again". This happens when Christ changes us spiritually. After this change, a person will be able to understand and love God. Children of the...
