    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Denying all that was in Christ before the foundation of the world, is to deny all that has been revealed of Him. And it is not my teaching...but "the revelation of Jesus Christ", by God. Explained.

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Again, you're not getting it. You say, "We have no freedom nor will nor soul before being created on earth. No man was created before the foundation of the world." Yet Jesus who became a man was conceived by God "before the foundation of the world." You say, "There was no man of sin, until the...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    To not understand the meaning of "before", is to not understand that time is a mere creation just as all the universe and the world are, and has no actual relevance to the things of God...except in revelation. You're not getting it.

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Yes, but even us writing our own scripts--that is, our freewill, was "before the foundation of the world", and is only now made manifest, that "the man of sin is revealed."

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Indeed, our times in this world are our "valley of decision." Which is referred to as a "valley" because it occurs in the depths. Which is not to say that we choose as we go, as we walk through this valley of the shadow of death. No, but rather by making it manifest, "the man of sin is...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    I already explained the "fore-" terms as God simply telling us in worldly terms we would understand while still in the midst of His revealing things to us. That just as God has clarified that the Lamb that was slain in His own time was actually slain "before the foundation of the world" and...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    You've missed the point. The point is, all that is written was written "before the foundation of the world." Which is confirmed by the fact that man is created a mere "image." An image of what? What one does after it is all written, or "before?" The scriptures say "before." Meaning, that the...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Your tit-for-tat pitting of one scripture against another--which I did not "discombobulate" but quoted--is an offence to God...as if He contradicted Himself. Blessings indeed! On the contrary, I showed the error and the truth by scripture, that whether in death or in life, "today is the time of...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    This is just the movie. God says it right from the beginning, "Let us make man in our image." ...So, what--it's not an image? --It's an image--this life, your life, my life--is an image. But what of? Well, for all who are "in Christ" the answer is written, "He chose us in Him before the...

    Sharing God's words with fellow Christians is pointless

    Just showing up is all we can do, and if it is not enough, our obligation has been met regardless. Sad though. For sure. :(

    What does it mean to be born again?

    If denied, both are against God.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Likewise, the lie is now also being told against those who live, saying the promise that "old things have passed, behold all things have become new" (past tense) is not true, not guaranteed.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The "lie" (by the father of lies) followed God's promise and declaration that eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, saying "in the day you eat of it you shall surely die." He does not say you shall die after a lifetime of seemingly living--but that very day! Then the Lord God...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Again, that is only partially correct. But no, our "desert walk" is only in the world before crossing the Jordan. Which no, did not and does not take the rest of our life but "It is finished" that very day. And just as "sin is sin", to approach the Jordan and linger is to linger, or even be...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You are somewhat correct, but ultimately wrong here--stuck in times. The only "process of learning" is determined "by the same measure" one uses. Which is the measure of faith that is evident regarding whether or not we actually believe "old things have passed away; behold, all things have...

    What is the Bible about?

    Same, same. ;)

    im not against god rules. but does god enjoy homeless people and sickness people on this battlefield. we are not in heaven.

    What do you mean here? Try using proper English and proper punctuation.

    What is the Bible about?

    What is the Bible about? The Bible is a collection of testimonies from people of God as a guide to fulfilling "His purpose" through every generation. "Then comes the end." Perhaps, then, the next question should be: What is God's purpose in creating a place and times for these many generations?
