    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Absolutely! Isn't it fantastic that His sovereignty is governed by His love.

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    when When you use the word destroy, do you mean annihilate?

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    And again I find it so comforting to know that God causes suffering because it is a part of the script, His plan, His eternal purpose. Will He cause people to suffer without end? No way. He will ensure that there is an end at some stage in the future. Yes, He has made a place of suffering for...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes, this is so common. Within the number of God fearing people I know the majority would acknowledge that the know the bible and live according to what they know in the bible but don't know the Spirit of God nor live by Him. They don't have a relationship with the Living Spirit send to us by...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Isn't it great that God doesn't need to justify His actions to anyone. If He opens some people's eye to see Him, others He leaves blind, while He actually blinds the eyes of others then that's His prerogative.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    The seemingly strange thing is that I simply believe that the Creators own everything and are sovereign over all that They have made. I cannot prove it by presenting you with a copy of the title deed of ownership of planet earth for instance. I just accept this truth by faith. Faith that They...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    It is stated that the Creators said, Let Us made man in Our own image and likeness.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    What's that? It sounds pretty fancy. I'm just me. Who my Creators made me.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Again God is completely guilty. Does God Himself have any issue with this? Of course not. He can do whatever with the lump of clay which He made in the first place. Making things to use for good or evil. This includes Lucifer, Satan, the devil, demons in the spiritual realm. Also Hitler and...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Does anyone have a problem with this conclusion? God absolutely withholds His grace and has every right to do whatever He wants with what's His. God is guilty, blame worthy, responsible for everything that happens with what's His. Is He guilty of killing pregnant women? Yes. Can He be blamed...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    After many angels and humans have been tormented in Hades, at some stage in eternity, after they have suffered a while, they come to their senses like in the story Jesus told of the prodigal son. Lucifer remembers the goodness of his Creators and repents. It's not a surprise when they are...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    You may have interpreted that story correctly and come to a right conclusion. Yet may I add a further conclusion. After many angels and humans have been tormented in Hades, they come to their senses, repent and are reconciled to their Creators. Then all will be saved from ongoing punishment and...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    What an insight Paul received. What an experience he had. What knowledge was imparted to him. Taught to him by the Spirit of God in him. Now, that gives you and I hope and inspiration knowing that He who lived in Paul, lives in us also and He Who taught Paul teaches us. Personally, I haven't...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Getting to know my Father Who has, is and will administer His justice, I have come to know His love expressed by His mercy and grace. While I was living according to my nature, serving myself any way I could at every chance I could and not believing in Jesus, I was condemned and destined to be...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Doesn't this excite us. The Creator Who hovered over the deep and created all that we see is in us. That the Designer made us compatible with His Spirit, like computer hardware and software. And isn't it comforting to know through experience that this indwelling Being is manifesting Himself...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Once you've come to see and encountered and experienced the Spirit of Christ, (Who someone quoted, Rom 8:9-11 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. And if Christ be in you...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I'm glad the Spirit has revealed this to you. Jesus is continuing to communicate to His followers ever since He came the first time. As we know, only a fraction of the truth our Father gave to Him to impart to us was actually written down by a number of people. And only a select number of these...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    I was thinking recently that the Fire may not be, literal, a physical fire as the angels are spirits which probably can't feel fire. What do you think?

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Sure. And you would read in the bible that it is God Who sends a great delusion, so that people will believe a lie. Personally I'm perfectly fine with God's ways. If I was God I don't think I would do such a thing, send a strong delusion for the purpose of getting them believe a lie. But He...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    No thanks. Consulting the bible is a thing of the past for me. I'm happy if you use the bible to point me to a direct relationship with the Creators. What is mistranslated in all bibles and misinterpreted by all bible teachers is not for me. Rather, I just go straight to my Creators and...
