    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, As I said earlier, our reign with Christ is one of service and its purpose is one of gathering in the full harvest of mankind into the Kingdom of Heaven. Our reign will not be like the reign of the kings on this earth. The passion for my service comes from my love for the...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, You said: And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” The purpose for the Elect (the First Fruits of the harvest) is to reign (serve, Luke 22:24-27) with Christ in the final age and assist Him in bringing in the remaining harvest of mankind...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, Thanks for your comments. You said: Oh to experience completeness, when Christ is fully formed in us. It sounds like you are not far away. As you inferred, this creation is for God's purpose of creating new offspring (children of God). God will complete all things just...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Hobie, Christ's work of saving 100% of mankind is not simple - if it were, you would understand the plan that Christ established to accomplish the mission that His Father sent Him to accomplish: 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the...

    Soul Winning

    Dear Behold, Your statements above are unscriptural and are based on the works of man (Old Covenant) rather than the works of Christ (New Covenant). The gospel you are presenting is Satan's "another gospel" which all apostate churches follow and teach. Here is what a person is like who does...

    Envisioning Heaven: No more donuts or football?

    Dear Adrift, Here is my understanding: A person's mind is not their brain. Their brain is flesh and contains their mind. The mind is a component of the spirit but it needs a body to have consciousness. That is the reason why the bodily resurrection is so important, because without it, a...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Frosty, Here are two key scriptures concerning the Early and Latter Rains: James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the EARLY and LATTER RAIN. 8 Be...

    Envisioning Heaven: No more donuts or football?

    Dear Adrift, Heaven is not a place or a location. Believing that heaven is a location is a false understanding that comes from the carnal mind. The spiritual symbol "heaven" usually represents a person's spiritual state of being. It can also represent a person's mind. And in a physical...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Dear DJT_47, Understanding God's Word is a little more complicated than you believe. I will try to give you a better foundation of the truth below. To begin, a person must understand that the Old Covenant of Law is physical & outward and is based on the works of man. It was given to carnal...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Dear DJT_47, The scripture I quoted prove that God's Word is purposely concealed from everyone except the Elect who are given "eyes that can see" upon their conversion. Whoever told you that God's Word is "simple and understandable" is mistaken and did not come to that understanding from...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Dear DJT_47, The misunderstanding of Mat 5:27-8 comes from a carnal understanding of the verses. Only a spiritual understanding of the verses will reveal the truth of what Christ is teaching. As for the teachings of scripture (even Mat 5:27-8) being straightforward and simple, they are not...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Dear DJT_47, No, Christ words are spirit and they are teaching about the spiritual work that He will do under the New Covenant. The Old Covenant is referring to the "actual, physical act of committing adultery". The New Covenant is referring to the spiritual act of adultery. If you are a...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Dear DJT_47, Christ's words are "spirit" (John 6:63). The "adultery" Christ mentions in Mat 5:27-28 is spiritual adultery and is based on the laws pertaining to physical adultery which was taught under the Old Covenant. Spiritual adultery is the same sin that Eve committed in the Garden and...

    If You Died Yesterday, Where Would Your Soul Be Today?

    Dear Adrift, If I died yesterday, I would be dead and would not be typing this response. I would remain dead until the bodily resurrections occur at the end of this age. 100% certain. Paradise is the resting place of the OT faithful who had died. This includes the thief on the cross since he...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Lizbeth, I want to make a point on the old man being crucified with Christ, but to fully understand my comments, I need to explain how Christ saves His Elect. Here is the verse you mentioned: Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Lizbeth, Man's carnal spiritual nature and Satan do all the tempting that is necessary for mankind to sin. For that reason, when Christ is converting one of His Elect, He will remove and destroy the person's worsened carnal nature and the spirit of anti-Christ. In God's Word, the "man"...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Lizbeth, Many believers say that God's foreknowledge comes from His ability to look into the future. However, scripture never makes this claim. Here is what scripture says about where God's foreknowledge comes from: Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning (foreknowledge), and...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Cassandra, If God didn't "wish all of the misery on this planet", why does God say He gave us an experience of evil? Ecc 1:13 An experience of evil God has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it. And what about these verses? Prov 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear RedFan, How do you know the mind of God as to why He stationed the cherubim? Maybe it suited God's purpose for Adam and Eve to want to come back into the Garden but because of the cherubim, they couldn't. Why do you not believe what these verses teach: Prov 16:1 The preparations of the...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Cassandra, God put the tree of good and evil in the Garden so that Adam and Eve would sin. God even gave Adam and Eve a "marred" spirit (Jer 4:18) and put Satan in the Garden to tempt them. Nothing was left to chance. Adam and Eve's sin was planned and caused by God before this creation...
