Dear Earburner, You said: Sorry, I don't believe in another age of mortality to come, after Jesus returns in all His Glory, as clearly shown in KJV 2 Thes. 1:7-10, which is a simultaneous event that transpires within a literal 24 hour period. 2Thes 1:7-10 is teaching about when Christ comes a...

Dear Earburner, I answered this question in my previous post. Joe

Dear Earburner, Christ will give the Early Rain of the Spirit to a person of His choosing and at a time of His choosing. His gift is given to them without their asking or permission. Paul received the Early Rain of the Spirit on the Damascus Road. Paul didn't ask for it nor did Christ ask...

Dear Earburner, You said: However, Jesus makes it plain and clear that in order for anyone to enter into the KoG. They must be "born again" NOW by His Spirit, aka the Holy Spirit, while they still have breath. No, scripture does not say that salvation is limited to this age. Being a chosen...

Dear Ritajanice, You are ignoring what scripture teaches: Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 LET BOTH GROW...

Dear Ritajanice, Conversion is to be changed from a child of the devil into a child of God. Conversion requires both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit before the precious fruit of the earth is ready for harvest into the Kingdom of Heaven. This verse also applies to conversion: Jer 18:4...

Dear Ritajanice, Yes, I completely understand what is it to be born of imperishable seed. It means to be converted. The seed is the Holy Spirit and it is imperishable because the Spirit does not sin. However, to be born of the Spirit requires BOTH the Early and Latter Rains. James 5:7 Be...

Dear Ritajanice, You are forgetting what Christ said here: Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. If a believer is unconverted (Early Rain only), they will...

Dear Behold, You do not believe God's Word. Christ loves all His enemies and His love and mercies never ends: Lam 3:22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; You are forgetting justice, mercy and faith and are believing as the Pharisees do when they...

Dear BlessedPeace, Christ will bless the Sadducees and Pharisees before they perish in the Lake of Fire. They were not chosen to be blessed in this age but Christ will not forget them. Mat 21:31 Which of the two was obeying his father?" They replied, "The first, of course." Then Jesus...

Dear Ritajanice, Do you understand the implications of no one being able to call Jesus "Lord" unless they have the Holy Spirit? Those "implications" go against the teachings of orthodox Christianity, and because of such, most believers will deny the truth of what 1Cor 12:3 teaches. By...

Dear Earburner, I did not miss it. I stand by my comments. No one can call Jesus "Lord" unless they have the Holy Spirit just as scripture states. Why won't you believe God's Word? Where is your faith that you say you have? Joe

Dear BlessedPeace, Why do you think Christ will not "bless" those who are His enemies? Doesn't Christ's grace apply to all mankind? All mankind begins life as enemies of Christ. And because Christ loves His enemies and will only bless them, Christ will convert all His enemies (children of...

Dear Berean, This is why God loves the world who are enemies: Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in...

Dear Earburner, That is quite a job of twisting the clear meanings of those two verses. I am always amazed at how the carnal mind can make scripture conform to what pleases it. Here is the clear teaching of those two verses: Since no man can call Jesus Lord unless they have the Holy Spirit...

Dear Earburner, I agree that mankind does not have an eternal soul. All mankind will perish because all mankind has sinned. Death is the penalty of sin. So what is the solution to this problem that mankind faces? The solution is for mankind to be made into a new creation. The new creation...

Dear Kabone, The Elect of God are the blessed individuals who have been "chosen" by God from the foundation of the world to be saved in this age. They are also called the Heirs/Saints/First Fruits/Bride/Wise Virgins/Wheat. Christ will not save anyone else in this age. However, since Christ...

Dear Earburner, Here is a proper translation of Rom 8:8-9: Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Where do you...

Dear Earburner, You deny these scriptures: Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good...
