Dear Taken, The Old Covenant, which is the crooked way of man's works, was given to be our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ who will do all the works of making us righteous before God. All the Elect will learn this lesson - but before that lesson is learned, they will continue drinking the...

Dear Taken, I do not accuse you of anything. I am only pointing out how Christ saves the Elect. He does all the work and has set a pathway in place for the Elect to travel to their salvation. It involves a time of being a "babe" when they will experience Satan's deceptions so as to become...

Dear Taken, There is much I could respond to you but you would not be able to receive it. Your understanding of salvation and how God works within mankind is so mixed with your own works, you are not teachable. You need the Latter Rain of the Spirit and the healing of your spiritual blindness...

Dear Taken, Again, you apply the teachings of Christ through a filter of man's works. It is solely the works of Christ that causes a person's conversion. Joe

Dear Taken, Your understanding of God's Word is founded upon the works of man and not the works of Christ. Joe

Dear Fred J, God created Adam and Eve spiritually marred (Jer 18:4) and subject to vanity (Rom 8:4). Because of these spiritual flaws, Adam and Eve became carnally minded and sinful. Eve even displayed her carnal mind prior to her sinning: Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was...

Dear Taken, Scripture teaches that no man has a desire to seek out God (the true God) nor can they understand the truth of God. Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. And not only that, each...

Dear Hobie, God's Word says that Christ created mankind with a marred spirit. As a result of this marred spirit, mankind became carnally minded and sinful (subject to vanity). In this condition, mankind is said to be the children of the devil who CANNOT understand and receive the truth of God...

Dear marks, You said: Here is one of many verses that teach us explicitly that not all are saved. Here is another: Matthew 25:45-46 KJV 45) Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46) And these...

Dear Jesusfollower, I have already been judged by Christ. Christ's judgment immediately followed my receiving of the Latter Rain of the Spirit. As for works of faith, they are the evidence of a person's salvation - they do not cause it. Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to...

Dear Marks, The reason unconverted believers (who dwell in the wilderness) won't accept that Christ is the Savior of the world is because they have added a requirement of at least one "work" from mankind so as to qualify for the free gift of salvation. This mixing of works with faith is the...

Dear marks, To understand Christ's "spirit" words (John 6:63), you must look to other scriptures and see how they are used there. The wilderness is where the Nation of Israel wandered for forty years. Their wandering in the wilderness is a type for the apostate church which is still under...

Dear Jesusfollower, I just wanted to point out a few things from your post. You said: The relationship between Jesus and His followers is one of profound security. John 10:28 (NKJV) assures us, "And I give them eternal (aion) life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them...

Dear Berean, I read your post and can agree with a small portion of what you presented. However, you are missing the overall meaning of the number fourteen due to you not understanding the pathway to salvation. I do agree that 14 has two parts (7 + 7) as you stated. Here is what I see for the...

Dear JunChosen, You need to consider these scriptures below because they contradict your beliefs - then pray for more faith and understanding. God is the giver of good gifts to those who ask. Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must...

Dear MatthewG, Yes, love is the foundation of a believer's works of faith and those works are caused by Christ. When a believer is converted and has their spiritual blindness healed, their false beliefs and scriptural contradictions will start falling like dominoes as they learning the truth of...

Dear MatthewG, Yes, I absolutely agree with most of your comments. However, it is Christ within us that causes us to love God and our neighbors. Phi 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the...

Dear Beebster, I have presented the truth you presented in your post to many SDA believers on this forum. They just can't accept that the physical Sabbath Day was only a foreshadowing of the time when we enter into the rest of Christ. As I have said, the Old Covenant is based upon the works...

Dear Johann, Yes, I believe Christ will save all mankind. Christ is mankind's Savior and since He is mankind's God, He cannot fail in the mission His Father gave Him. If He fails to save even one person, He would miss the mark His Father set and that would be a sin. 1John 4:14 And we have...

Dear AuntyJane, You are still using your carnal reasoning to determine what is truth. You need to let scripture teach you because the ways of man are not the ways of God. And yes, the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant. But the Old Covenant is based upon the works of man to make man...
