Dear 12question, You need to read my last post again. I said the events that happen in scripture happened just as they are recorded - BUT those events are also "types" which teach the spiritual truths of the New Covenant. The details of the events contain "spirit" words which have meanings...

Dear 12question, You said: From Solomon to Peter and John was 1,000 human years. But as you would infer, only 1 day. So in human time, 1000 years, to God, is as only 1 day. No, I'm not saying what you said above. What I am saying is that the teachings of the New Covenant use "spirit" words...

Dear Earburner, The "day" that is like a thousand years is the Day of the Lord when Christ appears and judges the children of the Devil. In this age, the "thousand years" is like that day but is different for the Elect. The Thousand Years is not literal time. It represents the judgment of the...

Dear 12question, Judas was the betrayer who was indwelt with Satan (spirit of anti-Christ). Judas died in that apostate condition and was never converted because he died before receiving the Latter Rain at Pentecost like the others. John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve...

Dear 12question, Why do you believe Judas will be one of the Elect who will reign with Christ? Judas represented the apostate church who will receive their portion with the unbelievers. Judas will be one of the goats in the Lake of Fire who still needs salvation. In the end, Judas will be...

Dear Earburner, Christ is now spirit and when He returns to a believer to convert them (His second coming), He will appear spiritually to them (between their ears, so to speak) because their spiritual blindness will be healed when He gives them the Latter Rain of the Spirit. As Paul says...

Dear Earburner, 2Thes 1:7 is the Second coming of Christ when He pours out the Latter Rain of the Spirit and judges the carnality of the believer. That is how the non-converted believers to whom Paul is writing to will be able to enter into the "rest" of Christ like Paul and the others with...

Dear Lizbeth, I highly recommend that you pray for understanding. That is what the Lord caused me to do many years ago when He was ready to convert me. Christ responded by giving me the Latter Rain of the Spirit which opened up my understanding. It was the greatest day of my life! My...

Dear Earburner, When I say the "lost" are resurrected back to "life", I don't mean that they are saved. They are resurrected back to life in the same lost spiritual condition they had before they died. They will then appear before the White Throne and be cast into the Lake of Fire for...

Dear Lizbeth, My wife read our exchange and she pointed out to me that I didn't really answer your question below: You asked: But what about where it talks about those who perish like the animals? Do animals/beasts receive eternal life? When Christ sacrificed Himself on the cross, He earned...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: I'm not sure I understand the difference between the salvation of the believer and the salvation of the unbeliever that you are talking about. What is the difference ultimately, if both get saved to eternal life? Why would it be so important to...

Dear Lizbeth, You asked: So the "end" of the ungodly and sinners who obey not the gospel.....isn't really the end (as opposed to eternal life)..? Same with destruction and perish.....they don't mean quite what they are saying? Are you saying those terms are hyperbole or allegorical somehow...

Dear Earburner, What I am meaning is because the Holy Spirit of God is not within them, all who have died mortal death without Christ, they cannot be resurrected back to life, but rather to judgment/condemnation, which is the second death, cast into the Lake of fire. They will be...

Dear Ritajanice, You are right, God is not a God of confusion. But Satan is and that is why there is no unity in the apostate churches. With approx. 2,000 different denominations/sects of apostate Christianity, there is still very little truth taught in them. The tower of Babel and the...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to DESTRUCTION, and many there be which go in thereat The strait gate (the straight pathway which represents faith in Christ) leads to life. In this...

Dear Lizbeth, You said: 1Pe 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the END be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? This passage...

Dear Earburner, You said: I agree to your understanding of the early rain and the latter rain, but that has been happening from Pentecost to NOW, during this PRESENT time of God's Age of Grace among mortal men. 1. Early rain: forgiveness of sin by faith in Christ's blood for atonement. 2. Latter...

Dear Ritajanice, You asked "what" within us is born again? Our "soul" (our individual consciousness) is born again and becomes a quickening spirit which is led by the Holy Spirit. 1Cor 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening...

Dear Ritajanice, I have shown you many scriptures which teach about what happens to a new believer shortly after they are given the Early Rain of the Spirit. They all say the same thing about Satan deceiving the new believer and spiritually killing them. When the believer is spiritually...

Dear Earburner, I didn't directly answer your question so I will do so here: You asked: Do you believe that all people now have the Gift of the Holy Spirit, without choosing to ask for Him to come into their lives? No, not all people are given the Early Rain of the Spirit. Most of mankind...
