He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:22 Jesus wrote seven letters in Revelation to seven churches, and each time he rebuked or praised them or gave them instructions on how to overcome, He closed the letter with this statement. What this means...

Very well, I give you a challenge then. Use your liberty in Christ Jesus and explore the book of Revelation with the distinction in mind between the faithful and the saints, and see if it takes on a whole new meaning to you? Then if you do not like the outcome, go back to your indoctrinated ways.

All you are showing is your indoctrination into the dogma of Protestantism and are not searching for the truth of the Word as revealed by the Holy Ghost. To put it succinctly and as the apostles lamented themselves in their day... For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that...

Saints AND the faithful None of these verses make any sense until you realize that there is a distinction between the saints and the faithful.... for example, Paul says he is least among the saints. according to your thinking then the most carnal of converts in today's modern church is already a...

Johann if I may interject here, Holiness is not about sinless perfection by works on our part, Holiness is about yieliding to the work of the Holy Spirit in us making us into saints. Theologically this is known as progressive sanctification. In this process we go from being the faithful to...

That is why I prefer the word saints here instead of Holy. A Saint is anything lower than God. For man to become more like God is to become a saint. That term and its true meaning was Robbed from the church with the reformation teaching that all believers are saints.

I Would have to disagree with you here. I Believe rejecting an eternal gift has an eternal consequence. Not to mention Jesus said of Hell being an unquenchable fire, and everlasting fire.

The Humility to say I do not know is not a play on Spiritual superiority, But of one trying to express the unknowable to the mind of man. It is The individual who hears the truth that must either process it by approaching the cross in humility or continuing in their Opinions and faith in their...

Ahh. I Had a friend in college from the one in Mass. Went to College in the Boston area myself. Played Lax in Concord NH back in the day too, so familiar with the area.

BTW, Just noticed you were from Concord, Is that the one in Mass.? where the revolution started?

It is not an understanding I can give you that mind of man can comprehend, This fact is confirmed by the Holy Ghost in those who are born again that allows them to proclaim that Jesus is the LORD because they know this in their heart. I Can point you to verses, but your heretical (Opinion) will...

Read those passages above and you will see the two moves of the Spirit. Hard to miss once you see the pattern

This is why Judas is in hell, and Peter is not. (John 17:12) The testament could not come into effect until after the death of the testator. (Hebrews 9:16-17) You will see this play out in acts as well regarding The Samritans (Acts 8:14-17) Apollus (Acts 18:24-25) and the Corinthian believers...

You assume I am denying the humanity of Christ which I am not. Jesus is God Incarnate (In Human form) A body I have prepared for you.... (Hebrews 10:5)

Like I said to you before, there have always been tares among the wheat right from the get go of the church. The Apostles dealt with them early on in the church. False Prophets, false teachers, Gnostics, Nicolaitans, etc. Satan likes to Usurp what is true and holy. The understanding of the...

My point was that the trinity was not an invention of the 4th century Catholic church, But rather goes back to the writings of the Apostles in the NT. For example, what were the Apostle Thomas' first words after he was born again? And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. (John...

This is a false statement often used by sects such as the J.W.'s to tie the trinity Doctrine to post Constantine Catholicism. Of the early church Fathers some such as Polycarp in 70 Ad articulated the trinity. Polycarp was taught by John the Apostle, who in scripture articulated the deity of...

They are not Christians, They are tares (False converts) among the wheat (Christians). The Tares are amongst us, and it is not our job to uproot them, they are there for those who are approved to manifest themselves. Heresy is not simply a choice or an opinion as you say, You are relying on the...

A real shepherd will point you to the cross and Christ, not to himself.

Then how did he purchase his church with his own blood and beget a Son? Your circular reasoning is not working here. There is no power to REMIT sins in human blood.... otherwise all those Molech worshippers killing babies would have been the most "forgiven people" alive. What makes Jesus' blood...
