    Need some help on this verse...binding things on earth

    The "old you" doesn't run the show, the Holy Spirit does, you are a new creation and by faith, you stand. The "talking to" is tender while we are shown the error of our ways and with that, we too can comfort each other because we don't want to see anyone in emotional pain because of what they...

    Need some help on this verse...binding things on earth

    Matthew 16:19, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” If your bound, heaven is bound. If you are bound by the enemy in unforgiveness then you are in bondage and heaven is...

    I am just in love with God

    He swoons for me and the more I find out how much He swoons for me, I swoon back.

    Born again requirement ?

    As Christians, we need to know water doesn't take sins away, water doesn't save, faith does but a water baptism can help show us, as a symbol, that we are new creations. A water baptism is important for those who do not quite understand that it is only the blood of Jesus that cleanses us and He...

    Contradiction?

    What is in the world? Lust and pride, it's how the world operates. As believers, do we not have the love of the Father and think differently from the world? Whatever we get from the world, it passes but who we are in Christ, is eternal. For God so loved the world is such a powerful statement...

    Anointing dream?

    What a lovely dream and yes, I believe this dream was especially for you, from God, Acts 2:17. What do false teachers do? They deny the Finished Work of Jesus Christ and deny eternal life and these false teachers will do whatever it takes to seduce you into believing those 2 things most of all...

    The Elect

    Never said it wasn't a true doctrine but we disagree on what the doctrine is and I am not here to convince you specifically. There is no joy to be found in debating with a Calvinist.

    The Elect

    Highly incorrect eh? Are you the parable police? Where is your interpretation of the parable then? You haven't even heard mine fully, you just read a snippet and so quick to judge too.

    The Elect

    My choice to not believe what you believe and I gave the reasons why. Who says I want more from you specifically? I don't little birdie.

    The Elect

    The word "chosen" is "eklektos" in the Greek and we derive "election" from it. The elect is just a title for the church of Jesus Christ, a pre-determined act of God way before Adam sinned and the Cross was always necessary and we are all chosen through Christ's blood.

    1. GOD'S PLAN ON THE EARTH,

    As a preterist and you a futurist, we will have differing views on what the scriptures say but our eschatology does not affect our salvation and I am not pulled toward discussing my end-time beliefs at this time. Just wanted to make a few points, that's all, and maybe give food for thought...

    1. GOD'S PLAN ON THE EARTH,

    Planet earth isn't going anywhere, God won't be destroying the earth and even the destruction in Noah's time was to keep the seed pure for the Messiah. Why would God destroy the earth now because of sin and not when Adam and Eve sinned? Mercy and God has come down out of heaven to be with us...

    The Elect

    No, no, no. We all are elect, there is no non-elect. Jesus is the sower and the types of ground are those responding to Him and it is our decision to choose what path to be on. Matthew 13:4, As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. If someone...

    The Elect

    1 Timothy 4:6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters (believers), you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

    The Elect

    I believe the order is important too so tell me how you, the hand-picked selected of God, was made holy before believing? Believers are holy in Christ and unbelievers are unholy, they are not in Christ. 1 Timothy 4:4-5, For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is...

    The Elect

    Well, if the order is as clear as you say then I would be a full-blown Calvinist and so would the pastor you had a discussion with.

    The Elect

    All are the elect. God had a plan to purchase us with His blood but not all will belong to Him because not all will believe in His Son.

    The Elect

    The sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit and belief of the truth and does it not take believing of the truth for the Holy Spirit to sanctify? Belief first, that's why we are to preach the Good News. 2 Thessalonians 2:14, He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the...

    Lentil soup, crackers and hummus.
