    this age, and the age to come

    The purposes of the Ages is for God to reveal to His people His Plan of the future. It is a progressive plan that is unveiled to people who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Most people, as Jesus said, will not understand the message, but that will not stop the progress in the Kingdom. When...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    Madad... God preserves those who recognize His character and His nature. Many are called, but few are CHOSEN. Called for what? Acts 3:25 says, 25 "It is you who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, 'AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    Arnie... in 1997 God gave me the word Aion to study so He could reveal His Plan in me. It is impossible to understand the plan of God without some level of knowledge pertaining to the Ages. Most Christians are taught it is over after this Grace Age and if you haven't accepted Jesus Christ...

    Exodus 34:6-7, The Character of God.

    Dave spoke about the Love of God in his last post, which is, the central part of the nature and character of God. God is Love!!! Luke 6:35-36 talks about the love of God, 35 "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return ; and your reward will be great, and you...

    Exodus 34:6-7, The Character of God.

    Yes Luke, and we have so many things to enjoy in the Ages to come Eph. 2:7. That scripture is so rich with revelation, but most Christians can't enjoy the understanding of it, because most don't comprehend it's meaning. Paul lived in the Grace Age, which is, the Age that we are living in now...

    Exodus 34:6-7, The Character of God.

    Dave... the problem we have with that verse is we are taught we receive eternal life. You are right in your analogy on this scripture if you think it means eternal life, but it doesn't. It means age abiding punishment and age abiding life. There is a difference between eternal life and age...

    Exodus 34:6-7, The Character of God.

    Angelina... I got a little sarcastic as Luke said and I apologize. My point is, ultimately God's goodness will bring everyone to repentance (Rom. 2:4). The church has been taught that if we don't repent in this Age of Grace, God will throw us away into the Lake of Fire and we will never have a...

    Exodus 34:6-7, The Character of God.

    Yes Luke... I see what you are saying, but man says God is a monster. If you don't repent He will not forgive you and as a matter of fact He will keep you in a tormenting hell forever into eternity. Now which is it? What you have just read is the character of God, but someone who hasn't...

    Is homosexuality right or wrong? A closer look...

    Lilly... Some people are born that way because of the fall of Adam. Others have been influenced by that behavior because it is their friend or someone they look up to doing it. The question is... do you love that individual? Will she/he influence you or will it be the other way around. If you...

    To whom did Jesus pay the ransom for us?

    Weber... that was a very good observation on how God deals with our sin debt. Adam owed a debt he couldn't pay, but he also left his children (you & I) with that same debt that we couldn't pay. Matt. 18:25 says, 25 But since he did not have the means to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold...

    To whom did Jesus pay the ransom for us?

    Good question... it's paid to God's Law. Jesus Christ satisfied the Law's demand... Exodus 21:23 says, 23 But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life. We all know that Adam disobeyed the direct command from God. Gen. 2:17 says, 17 But of the tree of...

    Some Serious Thoughts about Adam and Eve in the Garden

    Doesn't scripture teach us that God is both male and female? Gen. 1:27 says, 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. So... does that make God both male and female? What a God! What a Plan! Logabe

    Some Serious Thoughts about Adam and Eve in the Garden

    That's not as far fetched as we might think. How do we become the BRIDE OF CHRIST? Our spirit represents the man within us and our soul represents the woman within. When our spirit allows our soul to rule the day, we will more than likely submit to the flesh, or eat the fruit of the flesh and...

    The unpopular (but deadly) truth of conditional salvation

    It's a mindset. A lot of Christians think they have to do something in order for God to accept them. Some type of work or good deed, and forget that all they have to do is use faith in the Son of God and He does the works through that faith He has given us as a gift. Gal. 2:20 says, 20 "I...

    The unpopular (but deadly) truth of conditional salvation

    Williemac... when you are meditating, remember it is God doing the work. Our works are as filthy rags (works done without the Spirit), and our works will disqualify us as inheritors. God get's all the Glory when we understand it is Him working inside of us. What a God! What a Plan! Logabe

    An interesting question about Holy Spirit Baptism

    Yes... I like the way you brought out in Noah's day the water and the Spirit. That is exactly what Jesus was talking about in John 3:5 when He was speaking of the last days in Matt. 24:37-39. I always realized He was speaking of the Spirit being poured out, but I didn't put much thought in the...

    The unpopular (but deadly) truth of conditional salvation

    The key element to this discussion is inherit. Both sides are right, but we need to rightly divide the Word of Truth in order to understand the writings of Paul. At times, Paul speaks of justification (salvation), and @ other times he speaks of sanctification. For instance, we only receive...

    An interesting question about Holy Spirit Baptism

    Arnie... with all due respect... I do think that is exactly what Joel was talking about. Jesus told His disciples to go to Jerusalem during the Day of Pentecost. When that precise moment came, God poured out His Spirit upon about 120 people and in turn they spread the Gospel all through the...

    An interesting question about Holy Spirit Baptism

    In the Old Covenant the Spirit would come upon individuals and give them power to perform God's Will. In the New Covenant, Jesus opened the door for whosoever will, let him come (Joel 2:28). Jesus told His disciples to stay at Jerusalem and wait for the PROMISE of the HOLY GHOST (Acts 1:4-5)...
