    "Free" Will

    Willie... do we really want to know the truth about God's purpose and plan for His Creation, or do we want to protect our little doctrines that have absolutely nothing to do with what God is doing in the earth today? I have no desire to protect the doctrine of universalism, as a matter of fact...

    Are there any Holy Ghost Tongue Talkers in here?

    It's the second great feast that God wants us to experience. Deut. 16:16 says, 16 "Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall...

    "Free" Will

    Yes Old Jack... I agree. So we must rightly divide the Word of Truth. Let's take a look @ what is obvious. 1st John 2:2 says, 2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. That sounds like everybody that has ever lived. Is...

    Justification the same as Sanctification?

    Being baptized with the Holy Ghost and Fire is the most wonderful experience a person can receive. It is what God sent His Son to die for. He died not only to cover our sins, but also to eliminate them. Here is one of the things Jesus had to say about the Spirit in Luke 11:11-13, 11 "Now...

    Justification the same as Sanctification?

    Justification takes place @ your Passover experience. The moment that you believe Jesus is the Lamb that covered your sins by His Blood, your spirit has been justified and preserved unto the coming of the Lord. By faith you have been sanctified and glorified in your spirit. An embryo has been...

    "Free" Will

    Amen... Stan the man... Jesus paid a debt we couldn't pay, because we came out of Adam. Rom. 5:18 says, 18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. That does...

    "Free" Will

    No... not @ all. I'm saying God holds all of the cards in this big game of life. We are running a race and depending on how much an individual understands the rules will depend on how free his/her will is. 1st Cor. 7:37 says, 37 But he who stands firm in his heart, being under no constraint...

    "Free" Will

    The question is... how free is our will? Surely we wouldn't be here if God would have ask us... do we want to go to the earth and live in the canal mind all of our lives? I think everyone's free will would have definitely said NO!!! We are here because it was God's Will not ours (Rom. 8:20)...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Floyd, with respect; I cannot agree with you, and I'll tell you why. The same Promises are for us today as God clearly tells us through the great speaker that God used on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38-39). 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent , and be baptized every one of you in the name of...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Yes... because most Christians don't understand that Jacob wasn't born an Israelite, but became an Israelite after wrestling with God. It wasn't about his genetics, but it was about his maturity. It is the same with all true Israelites, we must learn to obey the Spirit in order to become the...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Col. 2:9 says, 9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, Col. 1:15-17 says, 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions...

    What is the narrow gate?

    We must recognize the humanity of God. Jehovah was manifest in the flesh (1st Tim. 3:16), and He was called Immanuel ( Jehovah with us). Jehovah prepared Himself a body to dwell in so we could understand who God was in earthly terms. That flesh that Jehovah was manifested in was called the Son...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Jehovah is Spirit and His Plan was to become a man that could die for the world, so mankind could be released from the curse of the Law that had been broken. In other words, God became flesh for the purpose of dying to re-establish the peace toward all mankind. Thus, Jehovah became flesh and...

    Who is the Father?

    This is one of the most sacred secrets in the universe. God hid this secret from the carnal mind so therefore, the only way to understand this mystery is to diligently seek it by the Spirit. To answer your question about the man Christ Jesus being subject to the Father (Spirit) is just that...

    Salvation Not Possible Without Works

    Paul never said we were saved by grace... period. I beg to differ Ernest... I think you need to understand what Paul is really saying. You use Rom. 5:2 to establish entering God's Grace through faith. Paul is talking to people who have already received faith from God, and now they can GROW in...

    this age, and the age to come

    Floyd... I agree with you 100%. If we would take the time to look things up, we could find the TRUTH that would set us free from believing a lie. The only thing that bothered me when God opened my eyes to a truth was I became embarrassed about believing some lies that I had been taught all of...

    Salvation Not Possible Without Works

    This is just another simple subject that can be confusing when a person doesn't understand the purpose and plan of God. Now this is how easy it is when you allow the Holy Ghost to burn up your manmade doctrines that have you in spiritual bondage. Babal can have a field day in a forum of half...

    Who is the Father?

    God enrobed Himself in flesh. In other words, He became a man by lowering Himself in flesh for the purpose of saving the world by satisfying the Law that had all mankind condemned. The Law said, you shall surely die if you disobey God's Word. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God...

    What is the narrow gate?

    The life that Jesus is speaking of is the life in the Ages to come. If we continue to reject the plan of God, we will continue to believe that God will save less than 1% of the population that has ever lived. Let's listen to what Paul had to say in Phil. 3: 12-14, 12 Not that I have already...

    this age, and the age to come

    I thought we were talking about Ages, but somehow we got side tracked by animal sacrifices. I guess I will comment on animal sacrifices for the moment to clear up some things for the readers of this thread. Ps. 51:16-17 says, 16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it...
