I went from unbelief to belief, without even trying. Go figure. And I was humbled by this and repented for my unbelief. I know you were talking to someone else about this, but if the carnal mind is enmity with God and can't perceive the things of the Spirit, I would think we can expect some...

Just remember that science is not the measure of truth.....scientists and historians often disagree on a great deal.......and history of science itself proves that science is often proved wrong about things and has to change course. It's not always so reliable that we should put all our eggs in...

God calls those things that be not as though they were. And He is never wrong. No we can't believe things that we just don't....I agree with that. That is why faith is not of our own...when I came to faith I believed in spite of myself and knew even back then that faith to believe was not of...

I believe it was Jerusalem back in the first century...that is why in John's revelation it said these things were shortly to come to pass. And why Jesus spoke of that generation being the one to see the tribulation and things He was prophesying and speaking about in Matt. 24. He also told the...

Seems like the flesh is always the problem God has to contend with in His people isn't it…..He can and does give what is good but it is the flesh that makes a mess of it. And it really has always been a messy business with regard to the faith hasn’t it, right from the beginning with Adam and...

Just saying. And just to say also, that God doesn't owe anyone eternal life. We will either remain mortal and "perish like the beasts".......or we will inherit eternal life. Not sure at all that hell is a place of suffering forever, but a place to permanently be destroyed. ....place of...

I don't feel I have to "come down" on anything sister. There are things I dont feel I understand at all and am content to wait on the Lord for His light. And only understanding in part here, but I believe man exercises His will, while the Lord directs his steps...in a sovereign kind of way...

The Lord can and will intervene in circumstances.....but as far as I understand it He does not try to control people (unlike so many churches and their leaders). God allows both people and devil to exercise their will for the most part at least....though perhaps restraining the devil at times...

Of course not, that is the point of being elect according to His foreknowledge. In the book of Acts it mentions the gospel being preached and those who were "appointed unto salvation" who believed, while the rest did not. We only know in part but as far as I can tell, being appointed unto...

They all came out of "Egypt" as far as I know. And I am not familiar with all the particulars of all their doctrines, but if I'm not mistaken they all allowed for the scriptures to be read by everyone and they all taught the need to be born of the spirit to enter the kingdom of God......through...

There's no question in my mind that Protestantism was on the right track in the main, but that they were like the Israelites, who after coming out of Egypt still needed to get Egypt out of them. Can't speak to any individuals' lives or hearts...its' hard to sort out the truth from fiction and...

Yes, you are on the right track. The bible and the gospel were written to the Jew first, then the Gentile, so a complete teaching of Mystery Babylon needs to include identifying Jerusalem as "that great city" that persecuted the prophets and saints. Why?...because things concerning Israel...

lol. I kind of got a second wind, just to handle some brief points from Matthew. Running out of steam again now though.

Yes I think He was alluding to Israel...but not only Israel, because as a principle it applies to everyone. Pharaoh wasn't a Jew.

Ah, we aren't seeing Rev 21 the same. It is speaking of the nations of those who are saved and who are in the book of life....the gates are kept open because there is no need to shut them against evil and wickedness any more since the evil and wicked are no more.....ie, there is no more...

Yes, but don't forget it is also His "will" to have vessels of wrath as well as vessels of mercy. Based on His foreknowledge of the vessels. It is not His explicit will that any would perish......but in spite of that we know many will.

Jhn 3:17-19 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God...

The stars are those who are in His kingdom and have become "like the angels". Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north There is no...

Well then, consider whether this is simply a question of mortality or immortality for mankind. I just do not see any third option: Psa 49:5-20 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? They that trust in their wealth, and boast...

I'm going to give it a rest for now. Just will say.........I've already seen how there are scrips you are not rightly dividing.
