Where do I start…? I guess I will explain to the best of my ability about the progression of the Kingdom of God. Most people and Christians alike, are stuck in this age and most believe that if you die not believing that Jesus is the Christ, your fate is ultimately doomed for eternity. Like I...

First of all Veteran, I will use a little Greek when referencing damnation. The Greek word used is krisis which means, decision (for or against) by extens. a tribunal; by impl. justice (spec. divine law) accusation, condemnation, damnation, judgment. When we look @ other scriptures, we will...

Prism, that is a very good question and it's hard to answer if you haven't been exposed to the mercy of God. I don't mean surface mercy, but I'm talking about divine mercy. When we grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, we begin to see God as he really is and not by something you...

Do you mean like Paul did on the road to Damascus? God blinded him and scared him to death and caused him to lose his religion. As for as obedience, that is what happens @ Pentecost but I am talking about Passover. In order to be justified @ Passover you must confess with your mouth that Jesus...

No... are you saying that is what Paul is advocating because he's the one that wrote it? I'm asking you... do you believe what he is saying or do you have your own take on what he is saying. I think I know what he is saying but it's surely not what most Christians believe. If the whole...

Come on Episkopos... that's not what I ask you... now give me a good answer. Did Paul mean the "WHOLE CREATION" or did he mean God was going to kill everyone and start over. There's a lot of people waiting on your answer. Romans 8: 22 says, 22 For we know that the "WHOLE CREATION" groaneth and...

I agree with you Veteran... just to add to what you have been saying, God said his name was " I AM". There is revelation in Exodus 3:14, 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM that I AM: and he said, Thus shall thy say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you. He went on to say in the...

Here's a good one for you... Isaiah 45:23 says, 23 I have sworn by myself, the word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Now that is a pretty strong statement, "God swears", think about that for a minute...

Wow... you sure have made the scriptures to none effect. I'm interested in how you will explain away Romans 8:21, 21 Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. What is the creation Paul is talking...

I'm with you Buzzfruit. If we all could get together and recognize the power of the CROSS, what a great revelation, knowing the purpose of the 2nd resurrection, which means, a second opportunity to make it right with God. Romans 11:26, 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: Boy, they were some...

Episkopo... I have a question for you. Do you believe that Israel will have a second opportunity to make things right with God? If not... explain Romans 11:26 to me. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: Now explain to me why God is not going to give the nations the same opportunity. Is God a...

Let me try to explain myself... and I would like to reiterate the importance of the feast days as I have mentioned in other post. Salvation is portrayed in the feast days as a three-step process: Justification, Sanctification, and finally Glorification. It is portrayed in the story of "the...

Wow... I enjoyed that post. If we can get the Church to understand they are the Temple of God and that God is indwelling their bodies, there is no telling what could happen in the Spirit. We are becoming kings and priests under the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood. Jesus is our High...

It's amazing how God can hide in the wide open... just as He did two thousand years ago. 1st Tim. 3:16 says, 16 and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world...

Jesus told a parable about a time period in Matt. 25:1-13. It is about 10 virgins, five of which were wise, and five of which were foolish. They were all virgins, which indicates that they were all Christian believers. But five had oil, while five did not. The five did not have time to buy oil...

John is the only writer of Scripture to use the term “first resurrection.” It is found in Rev. 20:4-6. 4 . . . And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first...

EXACTLY... When Jesus told Peter to forgive 490 times, He immediately told a parable to illustrate this principle (Matt. 18:21-35). This is a very important parable, since it provides the keys to how God has worked with whole nations and the Church throughout history. A certain king had a...

The purpose of the divine law is to set the standard for right and wrong. In other words, the law defines sin. It was never meant to save or justify anyone except those who are sinless. Since “all have sinned” (Rom. 3:23), it is plain that the law cannot be used for purposes of salvation...

Justification is by faith alone. But once a person has been justified, saved, born again—whatever one prefers to call it—then God begins to teach the believer obedience. No one is justified by the law—that is, by obedience to the law. But neither is a believer sanctified apart from the law. A...

I believe both are saved and justified because they believe that Jesus shed His Blood for them. That is a done deal. The problem comes when we mix salvation with inheritance. Let me explain. Today, much of the Church has been taught (as I was in my childhood) that "getting saved" was all...
