    Willful Sin is simply premeditated

    Unless we are born [again] of the spirit of God, our father is the Devil. This is why Jesus came. To understand, consider what is said regarding "the man of sin is revealed." Since every man is a man of sin, and every man is revealed-- is that man of sin he who is born of the spirit of God...

    Will There Be A (Pre-Trib Rapture) As Many Claim?

    I knew you wouldn't understand. Because your "reality" is that of this world.

    Will There Be A (Pre-Trib Rapture) As Many Claim?

    In order to fully understand the pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation timing with regard to the so-called rapture, one needs to be clear on the difference between "tribulation" and "great tribulation." "Tribulation" is something that exists during all generations: John 16:33 These things I have...

    2023 - What's happening RIGHT NOW.

    With the exception of "future" (being a time of which God is not limited to), that is correct. And yet, that is not actually the context I was referring to, but rather "now." I suppose from your "future" perspective, that means at least some of the future is now. -- But I digress, I'm just...

    Willful Sin is simply premeditated

    Paul (the scriptures) does not make the distinction in that way, but rather that "there is a law" existing in the flesh, which is the law of sin and death. Your desire to see the flesh as born free of sin is getting in the way of getting an accurate understanding of Romans. To the contrary...

    Olivet Discourse revisited

    I do not concur with all that you wrote...but "Like" that you stated it honestly with a willingness to see the onion peeled back over the times of otherwise good men of God who are not to be blamed for stepping up in spite of certain shortcomings. Thanks--well stated! Indeed, the onion is not...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    Indeed, by design, the Creator of the universe has appointed only some to hold and give answer to the questions that all the world is not otherwise privy to. This is His chosen method of revealing of all things to all people. Why is it that you do not like the fact that some have answers and...

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    By the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony!

    Christianity requires fear, guilt, and conformity

    Wrong from the get go. All the world is just a created "image" made manifest for the revealing of evidences for the Judgement of this world, and as the last [expressed] will and testament of all people in a public forum, as the truth comes to light. This is the witness and testimony of every...

    2023 - What's happening RIGHT NOW.

    The events now going on in the world are the fulfilment of many passages of scripture. Here are just a few: Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me...

    THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

    Joe, Our exchange started regarding all that has been fulfilled of Daniel's prophecy. But you have retreated to the scriptures (as did the Pharisees), and now testify of yourself, attempting to discredit me for not "receiving your truth from scripture" for which I have even answered with...

    The Holy Ghost is with sinners...

    No, that's just their take on it. There is much more (and much less) to it. The details are immense, but so is the grace of God. And we need to remember, the Holy Spirit is rather a "gift." For those who receive the Holy Spirit, the qualifications are included. "Ask and ye shall receive."

    The Holy Ghost is with sinners...

    Indeed, what you have said is true. And yes, some still live legalistically as if still under the law. Notice that the grace of God came in the same timing as the Holy Spirit.

    Willful Sin is simply premeditated

    As a generalization, this is true. There is however, a distinct difference between "willful" sin, and what would be better understood as "admitted" or confessed sin. The difference is in the heart. This is what Paul referred to saying that what he willed to do he did not do, but what he did not...

    Slow Living

    First we slow die, and if we collapse under our own weight sooner rather than later, then we also slow live. Then comes the end, no more slow, but "I am." Blessed are those who don't only slowly die, but also slowly live. These are the poor in spirit.

    Our Spiritual Bodies

    You contradict yourself and the scriptures, saying we shall see Jesus as He was, while the scriptures say "we shall see Him as He is." And I have quoted you doing so. :(

    THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

    Okay, one thing at a time: Scripture is written on parchment, but that is not the full promise-- Is this too not written? Jesus answered in the way that you expect ("it is written"), which is certainly good to do even now. But He did so because of the times--that is, the finishing of the times...

    Our Spiritual Bodies

    You are only repeating your out of context argument and trying to support it all with misunderstanding, and this you do because you have not yet seen Jesus "as He is:" 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is...

    THE TRUTH OF DANIEL'S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

    Joe, you are missing the point and not rightly dividing the word of truth between the times of this world and the timelessness of God and the kingdom of God. As I said, there is plenty of scripture to quote to support your worldly time-based logic toward what is written. But the point is, the...

    Nothing much left to say

    Your lack of understanding is not the measure of what I said. Neither is your denial. But seriously, denying what you don't believe is your life plan?
