    Go and Sin no more...is this possible?

    Dear shepherdsword, The "sin' that Christ mentions in the two verses that you quoted is the sin of mixing of works with faith. Christ is not referring to ALL sins in those two verses. When a babe in Christ mixes their own works with faith, they are committing the one and only sin that leads...

    John 5:24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment

    Dear shepherdsword: Before I respond to your verses, I want to present some foundational truths. All mankind has sinned and is "condemned already": John 3:18 He (child of God) that believeth on him is not condemned: but he (child of the Devil) that believeth not is condemned already, because...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear JLB, I will explain it again in a more summarized way: A person who has not been given the Holy Spirit will never believe in Christ or have faith in Him after they have been presented the Gospel. Faith comes by hearing the Gospel but only to those who have been blessed to be given the...

    where in the letters did they literally write Jesus is the Father?

    Dear Learner, There isn't any NT scripture that says that Jesus is God the Father. However, Jesus is mankind's Father because He created us and will give us our new birth. In this sense, Jesus is mankind's Father and that is why this scripture says He is: Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear JLB, If a person has been given faith by God, they will believe in Him. How can a person have faith in Christ but then not believe in Him as you contend? Your argument does not make sense. For a person to begin the salvation process, Christ will come to them and give them the Early Rain...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear JLB, So now I'm a Universalist? The Universalist denomination mixes man's works with faith just as all other denominations do who follow Satan's false gospel. However, I do believe that Jesus Christ will save the world because that is the purpose for why Christ came into the world...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear JLB, For a person to be able to hear, Christ must give them ears that can hear. For a person to believe, Christ must give them faith. Both are given to a person by Christ when He gives them the Spirit. Without the Spirit, no person can understand or believe. Where is your faith to...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear JLB, I do not teach Calvinist doctrines. Calvinist doctrines are founded upon the mixing of man's works with faith. All apostate churches teach this false gospel. When a person is truly converted & saved, it happens solely because Christ chose to save them at that time. Paul's...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, There is only one reason why a person is saved: It is because Christ came to them and saved them. To save a person, Christ will come them without their asking Him to come and without their permission. When He comes, Christ will give them the Early Rain of the Spirit. This is...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, They perceived it not because Christ did not give them eyes that could see it. And like Israel, neither can anyone else see it until Christ heals their blindness. Once their blindness is healed, the mystery of God is finished for them. Joe

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, Will you answer one question for me about salvation. Why do you believe you are saved and why others are not saved? Joe

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, You are greatly misunderstanding scripture and are ignoring many verses. Joe

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, The mystery of God is does not mean "all truth". It means that Christ will be unveiled to them and have Christ within them. This is the mystery of God. Next, as Christ feeds His truth to a converted believer, the Spirit of Truth will guide them into "all truth" as they mature...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, If you understood that the seven trumpets are detailing a portion of the conversion process, you would understand when the mystery of God (Christ in us) is finished for a person. All the Elect will have the mystery of God finished for them before they die. They will keep this...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, All the Elect are crucified with Christ when they are judged during the conversion process. Since the OT Faithful have not been converted, they have not been crucified with Christ. You said: Those who believed in His coming were crucified and raised up with Him. There are no...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, The OT Faithful have not been saved, they have only be justified. If they were saved, they would be made perfect by conversion. Conversion requires Christ to come to a person and give them both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, followed by judgment. Once a person has...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, You are not listening to Hebrews 11 or to the Gospel of Christ. Faith is a gift from God and He gives it to whom He will. Once received, faith will justify the person before the Law - but it is not our salvation. Faith is what makes the pathway for Christ "straight" for Him to...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, I read your other posts and since this is the only one I need to respond to, I will do so now instead of later. The "mystery of God" is only finished for a person when they are converted. The ending of the mystery of God is not a single event - it is a reoccurring event that...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, Your comments are interesting but I see some problems with your understanding. Concerning your first point, those who died before salvation can only be the OT Faithful. Because of their faith, they are justified and will receive a "better resurrection" (Heb 11:35). However, they...

    Understanding PARABLES

    Dear ScottA, All those "things" are reconciled by the conversion of each Elect person. After a person is converted, the mystery of God for them is finished because Christ appears to them. In other words, the veil that has hidden Christ from them is removed. Scripture teaches the pathway to...
