    Who I believe God’s elect are

    Paul's discussion of the chosen remnant in Romans 11:1-7 is a very important key to understanding the entire idea of being chosen. In essence, he tells us that while the whole nation of Israel was called in a general sense, only a remnant of them actually attained the promises. That remnant...

    Is Jesus God?

    First of all... in order to become a human being, you must have a human spirit, a soul, and a body. Did Jesus have these three requirements to qualify as a human being? I think so. The next thing we need to meditate upon is scripture. John 4:24 says, 24 God is Spirit: If God is Spirit, we...

    Parable Of Lazarus And The Richman

    We need to understand who Jesus was talking about in Luke 16 in order to get the revelation of the parable so we can have the correct understanding and not assume what Jesus is saying. The biblical Israelites had the advantage of having the Scriptures available to them nearby. Their dispersion...

    Assurance of salvation

    Paul tells us the plan of salvation very clearly. It was to be according to the New Covenant. It was no longer by the old covenant, which had been conditional upon men's vow of obedience (Exodus 19:5-8). Men's vows were so easily broken, and if God's salvation blessings were conditional upon...

    Assurance of salvation

    Richard, I have already said the works being done within us is by the Spirit. Through faith we do the works of Christ and that faith will be tested in order for it to grow. The plan of God is for Christians to learn how to become obedient in this age of testing. If we don't learn these...

    Assurance of salvation

    Where do you get this Truth from? The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Truth and it helps us to learn the ways of God through His Law. As I have said many times, "the Law is not the problem". Jesus said, he that overcomes shall inherit all things. Overcome what? The ability to understand the...

    Assurance of salvation

    Let me explain what I am talking about so no one misunderstands what I am saying. A legion of angels gave the word of peace to the shepherds in Bethlehem. They came to announce the birth of Him who was prophesied in the law. He was the fulfillment of the two birds (Lev. 14) and the two goats...

    Assurance of salvation

    You got it Jiggyfly... that's exactly what I was trying to do. If we can only understand God's appointed times (feast days) we could master the process of God's purpose and plan. Logabe

    Could God Save Everybody If He Wanted To?

    Genesis 3:1 says, 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. Logabe

    Assurance of salvation

    Let me ask you a question Richard... why is Jesus coming back a second time? When God gave the law, He set the standard of perfection (righteousness) that God intended man to live by. When Adam fell, man lost the ability to live up to that perfect standard. Hence, the need for a Sacrifice by...

    Assurance of salvation

    Richard, this isn't about being saved. You are already saved. You were saved 2000 yrs. ago when Jesus died and was buried and was raised from the grave by God. I'm talking about Christians living a victorious life by recognizing their problem with the OLD MAN after they have been saved. I'm...

    Assurance of salvation

    Who is God's enemy? Let's continue this thought because a lot of Christians need to quit fighting the devil everyday and begin to understand where their enemy resides so they can overcome him by the Blood of the Lamb. Col. 1:21 says, 21 And you, that were sometimes alienated and enemies in...

    Coping with unsaved loved ones.

    Let’s try to understand what the first fruits is all about by going back to the Law and see exactly what Paul was talking about. James 1:18 says, 18 In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first fruits among His creatures...

    Assurance of salvation

    Veteran, you sure put a lot of scripture on me. Psalms 37:20, 20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of the lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. Who is God's emenies? An enemy is one who is fighting God all the time...

    Coping with unsaved loved ones.

    Let’s talk about the third and final sign which was given to Moses in Exodus 4:9, 9 But it shall be that if they will not believe even these two signs or heed what you say, then you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground; and the water which you take from the...

    Coping with unsaved loved ones.

    Let’s continue on the second sign that God gave to Moses. The purpose of understanding these signs are to see that God will ultimately bring everyone back into the fold. Jesus will leave the 99 and go get the ONE that can’t seem to find her way back. Exodus 4:6-8 gives us the second sign. 6...

    How Many Resurrections Are There? (Rapture Topic)

    Absolutely... the ones in the Millennium that come to believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ will also receive immortality @ that time. What I don't agree with is... the ones whose names are written in the Book of Life will perish. I believe they will be cast into the...
