    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, I just wanted to say that the blood of Christ "will" (still future) remove all the sin of all mankind by the end of the final age. This is when all mankind will be converted and will be "in Christ". Until a person is converted, they are not covered by His blood. Christ...

    "strong delusions"

    Dear Berean, The strong delusion is the spirit of anti-Christ and the lie is that Satan is Christ and his apostate church is the true church. 2Cor 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is...

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    Dear Douggg, Matthew chapter 24 teaches the pathway to salvation. The events that Christ describes are spiritual events which happen within a believer. When the ends of ages come upon an Elect believer, they will be converted. 1Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened to them as types, and...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear gordon7, It still sounds like you believe in man's work and that mankind has the ability to decide if they will be a vessel of honor (the Elect/First Fruits) or a vessel of dishonor. Is that the case? Or do you believe, as I have been presenting, that the Elect are Christ's workmanship...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear gordon7, Much of what you stated is true but your understanding of what you stated is false. Mankind is created spiritually marred and subject to vanity. There are no exceptions. Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, Yes, it is good news for the Elect and it will be good news for the rest of mankind by the end of the next and final age. However, once all mankind has been saved, Christ and the Elect's reign will come to an end when the Kingdom of Heaven is delivered up the Father. Only then...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear gordon7, I assume your post is your answer to my question but you lack any commentary on those scriptures so I still don't know if you believe that Christ is the Savior of the world or not. 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear gordon7, I read your posts but I can't really understand what you are trying to say. According to God's Word, do you believe that Christ going to save all mankind or is He not? Joe

    Uh oh... I am thinking again. .... about why we dont agree on most things

    Dear Rella, When a believer is converted, their spiritual blindness will be healed by the "Spirit of Truth" (Latter Rain). After it is healed, the "man of sin' will be revealed to them (2Thes 2:8) and they will "see" the Abomination of Desolation (Mat 24:15) that previously occurred with...

    Uh oh... I am thinking again. .... about why we dont agree on most things

    Dear Rella, I completely understood your post and answered your question as to why there are so many different understandings of God's Word. I will restate my post below using additional scripture to make my answer clearer: Everything that causes a believer to "be a believer" comes from...

    Uh oh... I am thinking again. .... about why we dont agree on most things

    Dear Rella, Scripture tells us why most believers cannot come to the same understanding of God's Word. It is not because of different levels of intelligence, or wisdom, or length of time a person has been a believer or even what church denomination they attend. Mankind's individual abilities...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear APAK, With your comments, you are fulfilling Christ's words: Mat 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. If you were truly following Christ, you would not have said the things you did to me. Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear APAK, Until a believer has been given the Latter Rain and has their spiritual blindness healed, it is not possible for them to understand the teachings of Christ. If it were possible, then man's "works" would have some value in a person's salvation - but they don't. Joe

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You are getting very close to what I have been trying to show you. I just made another post (which should be above this one) that explains in more detail what you just stated in this post. I think you are just about there on your understanding! Joe

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: To me sin has to be revealed (or seen) before it is destroyed, otherwise one remains in denial. That part really confused me. I completely agree. Christ does reveal our sin to us before He converts us. That is what happens when a believer is given the Latter...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear APAX, You said: The story of creation and the Garden of Eden teaches about the nature of sin, the need for redemption, and the promise of a future savior (Genesis 3). The story of the Exodus and the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai teaches about God’s covenant relationship with His people...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear V______, I forgot one thing. I said that the "law can no longer slay him". I misspoke there. As you said, it is sin that slayed him. Joe

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear VictoryinJesus, The only thing I can add is for you to read the last few verses of Romans chapter 7 and the first several verses of chapter 8. In those verses is where Paul talks about the solution to mankind's sin and death problem that he explained in most of chapter 7. The solution is...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You said, Paul to me is speaking personally of his own conversation (conversion) (I thought) when death came to “the child of the devil” …his carnality …during the (his) conversation process. Or that is what I read. Here is the scripture again: Rom 7:10 And the...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear VictoryinJesus, It's good to hear from you again. You asked: Is it appropriate to say that it’s holy and good “the slain of the Lord will be many”? Yes, it is holy and good. The scripture you quoted from Romans does not apply to the verse I quoted: Isa 66:16 For by fire and by his...
