    Christ Died for All

    Dear Eternally Grateful, You are blaspheming the name of Christ by saying that Christ is represented by a serpent. There are zero scriptures which use the spiritual symbol of a serpent to represent Christ. A serpent only represents Satan. You are misunderstanding the spiritual language of...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear Eternally Grateful, You said: No. It represents the animals that would be sacrificed according to the law. And as Jesus said, it represents him hanging on a cross. You are right when you said that the serpent of the pole represents the Old Covenant which is based upon man's attempt to make...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear Eternally Grateful, You are greatly misunderstanding the spiritual message of the serpent on the pole. The serpent on the pole foreshadows the coming of the Old Covenant of Law which is based upon the works of man. This is the crooked way. The reason that the serpent was used on the...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear Dash, The "few" are the Elect and are the spiritual seed & heirs of Abraham. Their inheritance is an early salvation (First Fruits of the harvest) and the honor & glory of reigning with Christ upon the earth during the final age (the Lake of Fire age). And as I pointed earlier, during...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear Eternally Grateful, There are many better passages than John 10-18 which teach how Christ saves the Elect. Paul's conversion "type", parable of the Ten Virgins, parable of the Wheat and Tares and Matthew chapter 24 are just a few of them. What you do not understand is that mankind (who...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear Taken, Don't you know that Christ's death on the cross earned Christ the keys to death and hell? Now, all mankind will be resurrected from the grave. Those who have been spiritually resurrected/converted (the sheep) before they physically died will be found in the Lamb's book of life...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear One2question, I hear your passion and love for Christ in your post. When I read it, my heart filled with joy. And yes, what a great day the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles will be when all our unbelieving family and friends become our brothers & sisters in Christ. That day will come...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear DashRipRock, You said: In the end, not all the world is saved and Jesus said only a few find the salvation that Jesus paid for even though Jesus paid for the sins of the entire world. Matthew 7:13,14 - Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that...

    The Bible on faith, unbelief, pride, humility, & finding Jesus

    Dear NotTheRock, Yes, however, the B-Z papers are not in any particular order. I recommend that you start with paper A then move onto the papers that have titles that interest you. Some papers are very short but most are 10-20 pages long. I hope you are blessed by what you read. They...

    The Bible on faith, unbelief, pride, humility, & finding Jesus

    Dear NotTheRock, I see that you live in Oklahoma. I grew up and spent most of my life in Ft. Smith, AR. I live in Ft. Collins, CO now because the heat and humidity of Arkansas was getting to much for me. What part of Oklahoma do you live? Joe

    The Bible on faith, unbelief, pride, humility, & finding Jesus

    Dear NotTheRock, I am 64 now and was 44 when I was converted. After I was converted, I quickly left the church I was attending and never went back - and not just to that church but to any church. Paul was right when he said the wolves would not spare any of the flock. Since the end of the 1st...

    The Bible on faith, unbelief, pride, humility, & finding Jesus

    Dear NotTheRock, I am glad to hear that you believe Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. And you are right about the "infernalists". Their spiritual blindness has allowed Satan to deceive them with this heresy. The doctrines of Free Will and Hell are two of the most "perverse things" that...

    The Bible on faith, unbelief, pride, humility, & finding Jesus

    Dear NotTheRock, Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know...

    The Bible on faith, unbelief, pride, humility, & finding Jesus

    Dear NotTheRock, The verses you quoted are very powerful arguments for the complete power and sovereignty of God over His creation. I use many of these scriptures in my posts when I teach about the spiritual process that Christ uses to save an Elect person. In that process, Christ does 100% of...

    Why faith alone? The answer...

    Dear Jabre, Do you understand the mystery of how Christ draws a person to begin following Him? Christ draws a person to Him by coming to them (uninvited and without their permission) and giving them the Early Rain of the Spirit. The Early Rain is a small measure of the Spirit which gives a...

    Why faith alone? The answer...

    Dear Jabre, Yes, faith alone in Christ and His works is the straight way that leads to salvation. Even adding just one of our own works will make the pathway "crooked". So the real question is: how does a person have faith in Christ when mankind's carnal mind has a natural hatred for Christ...

    Where In The Scripture Does It Say Christ Completed His Father's Mission At The Cross?

    Dear WalterandDebbie, The two links you posted on Mat 24:14 teach an outward and false understanding of that verse. I used to believe and teach that false understanding myself when I was still apostate. But after my conversion, I realized that my understanding was completely wrong. If you...

    Where In The Scripture Does It Say Christ Completed His Father's Mission At The Cross?

    Dear WalterandDebbie, I will address what Mat 24:14 is teaching. However, it will be not be possible for you to accept what it teaches unless the end of the ages is coming upon you. I'll explain more about this reason below. The spiritual message that Mat 24:14 is teaching is very concealed...

    Where In The Scripture Does It Say Christ Completed His Father's Mission At The Cross?

    Dear WalterandDebbie, Just curious - what do you believe is the "end"? I believe the "end" occurs when a babe is converted because that is when the child of the Devil is killed. When that day arrives for an Elect person, their spiritual blindness will be healed and all the OT "types" will...

    Christ Died for All

    Dear Berean, This is mankind's present spiritual makeup: Marred Spirit w/a carnal & religious spiritual nature + carnal mind = a child of the Devil The gift of the Spirit is given for the purpose of changing mankind's spirit to be strong and for it to have a divine spiritual nature. Then...
