Dear Soyeong, You said: Nowhere does the Bible say that, but rather it states the opposite. In Romans 10:5-8, Paul referred to Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to the righteousness that is by faith proclaiming that the Law of God is not too difficult for us to...

Dear Button, Anything that a person takes credit for doing that they believe earns or entitles them to salvation is a "work". Christ is the Savior and He does all the work of saving mankind. His work is spiritual and He performs it within us. Mankind contributes nothing because they have...

Dear Soyeong, The Old Covenant was given to prove to Israel that man is NOT capable of obeying God's law. Only Jesus Christ is able to perfectly keep the law. For anyone else to keep the law, Christ must be living within them so that He keeps the law for them. This is the basis of our...

Doug, The law of keeping the Sabbath Day has NOT been abolished. However, many believers have a very mistaken understanding of how converted believers keep the Sabbath Day. I'll explain: For a person to be acceptable to God, we must trust in Him to direct our lives and the paths that we...

Dear rwb, I am not trying to induce you or anyone else to accept Monergism. Far from it. I am presenting you the truth of God's Word so that you can determine which parts of Monergism are true and which are not. Monergism is just one of the many false doctrines of the apostate church -...

Dear rwb, It is a fine line between arguing and teaching. I believe I am teaching and hopefully, being encouraging. Also, I am not defending Monergism. I am only agreeing with its main teaching that states that Jesus Christ is mankind's Savior, and as such, Christ alone does the saving...

Dear rwb, You said: I agree that mankind can add nothing to grace through faith to merit salvation. From what you stated in the balance of your post, you do not believe what you stated above. You are adding a requirement of man's works (Old Wine) to the New Covenant (New Wine) so as to...

Dear rwb, All I said about Monergism is that this statement is true: Monergism is the view that God alone effects our salvation. It is God's Word that proclaims that Jesus Christ is mankind's Savior. To believe otherwise means that Jesus Christ did not obey His Father: 1John 4:14 And we have...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... The Early Rain is a small measure of the Holy Spirit and it will give a person a measure of faith and certain spiritual gifts. From the person's newly gifted faith, they will make a confession of faith and become a "babe" in Christ. 1Cor 12:3 Wherefore I...

Dear GracePeace, Here is a simple statement on Monergism vs. Synergism that I found online: Monergism and Synergism have been debated within the church for centuries. It is no exaggeration to say that this debate concerns the very heart of the gospel. First, let us define the two terms...

Dear SteveSmid, The presentation you made on Daniel's 70th Week prophecy and the Day of the Lord is a carnal understanding of Christ's spiritual teachings. None of what you presented is true. Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy is a prophecy that presents certain details of the salvation of the...

Dear LoveYeshua, That's a good question. The short answer is because it is God’s “will” for it to be that way because it helps to satisfy one of God’s requirements for His children – and that requirement is for them to have a full knowledge of good and evil. To teach mankind about good and...

Dear ProDeo, You quoted these verses: Rom 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ Acts 16:30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be...

Dear ProDeo, Water baptism is to be performed after a person receives the Early Rain and makes a confession of faith. It is that faith that makes Christ's pathway straight for Him to return and convert them. That is the moment of salvation. Faith just makes it happen. Joe

Dear bdavidc, You said: First, the belief that the true church became apostate following the death of Paul is unbiblical. Jesus Christ stated that, “I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). The church did not die out, God has always maintained...

Dear Locust, Being born again is to be converted from being a child of the Devil to being a child of God. Conversion requires Christ to give a person both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, followed by His judgment. This is far more than just changing one's perspective. Joe

Dear GodsGrace, You said: Does it say CHRISTIAN under your avatar? Yes. It does. I just checked. So how about getting on board with Christianity and stop with this language you've made up? That would behoove you. 1. There are no mysteries in the sense that Jesus was hiding something from us...

Dear GodsGrace, You said: you've said this before. I replied saying that the mystery is that YOU think Jesus came here to HIDE THE TRUTH from us. I think, if I remember correct, that JESUS said that THE TRUTH will make us free. For the truth to make us free... I do believe we would need to know...

Dear GodsGrace, You said: 1 Thessalonians 5:3 has nothing to do with your analogy. The analogy is in reference to the end coming suddenly, like when labor begins in a woman. It's about the end of the world when Jesus returns for a second time. Nothing here about being born again. An Elect...

Dear GodsGrace, You said: That's sufficient knowledge for salvation. And, again, you don't understand what A MEASURE OF FAITH means.... and I'm not repeating it. BUT You SHOULD find out. Yes, it is sufficient knowledge if the babe remains faithful. The Jewish Elect remained faithful until...
