Dear Rockerduck, You really didn't answer my question. I'll restate my question: Why do you believe that man's choices don't have to be in accordance with God's "will"? If the "will" of a person changes, it will be reflected in the choices that they make. The two are inseparable. Here...

Dear Rockerduck, Your understanding of what scripture teaches about "free will" and making choices is confusing to me. At first your understanding seemed to be scripturally correct but then you made this statement: You said: We can't freely will anything, but we can make a choice, like Adam...

Dear Gottservent, God's "will" rules supreme. No one has ever resisted God's "will" because mankind does not have a "free" will ability as many suppose. Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet...

Dear amigo de christo, The faith that is being taught on this thread is a faith mixed with works. That false faith produces a self-righteous apostate believer who is rejected by Christ. Also, when a believer mixes their own works with faith, they are trying to serve two masters; Satan and...

Dear amigo de christo, Do you understand that after the death of Paul, scripture teaches that all new believers (babes) will be deceived by the spirit of anti-Christ and will fall from grace? All the Elect will experience the apostasy in their own lives as they travel the "one way to the...

Dear NotTheRock, God the Father will only be "all in all" when Christ finishes the mission that the 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 world. After Christ completes His work, God the Father's Spirit...

Dear Walter and Debbie, I appreciate your "like" that you gave my post in the "Only one way to the Father" thread but I'm not sure what portions of the post you agreed with since my post stated many things. This morning I found this thread that you started and since the subject is one of my...

Dear MatthewG, You should not believe me but you should believe the scriptures I quoted. Scripture says over and over again that mankind does not have the ability to have faith in Christ apart from the Holy Spirit, nor does mankind have the ability to make free will decisions. To believe...

Dear MatthewG, You said: Thank you for your efforts but people should understand, I have to make up my own mind, and decide for myself. What you stated is exactly right but you must realize that truth is only given to a person by Christ and at a time of His choosing. You have no ability to...

Dear MatthewG, Your statement says that a person can "look to God in faith" without the Holy Spirit indwelling them, however, scripture says that mankind has no such ability. You then say that when a person does the impossible of looking to God in faith, that God will then decide by His own...

Dear MatthewG, You stated: While I do believe people who may not know everything about Jesus and they look to God in faith, he by his choice will give them the Holy Spirit, and in the end of life come to know the one whom had gave them new life. This is an unscriptural statement. No one can...

Dear JLB, Paul is teaching about the bodily resurrection from the grave in 1Thes 4:13-18 and not the second coming of Christ. Paul teaches this same message on the bodily resurrection from the grave in 1Cor chapter 15. When you read both passages, you should be able to see that Paul is...

Dear JLB, 2Thes 2:2:1-2 is referring to the same event as presented in Mat 24:29-31. This event is when an Elect believer is spiritually changed and is spiritually gathered to heaven. The person being gathered to heaven is the newly born child of God. Only the children of God spiritually...

Dear MatthewG, Jesus' clearing of the temple is a "type" which teaches a spiritual truth. It teaches what Christ is going to do for a person when He judges them. This time of judgment is called the Day of the Lord. When Christ judges a person, He will clear out all the spiritual things...

Dear JLB, 2Thess 4:13-18 which you quoted is not a teaching on the second coming of Christ and the Day of the Lord. It is a scripture which teaches about the bodily resurrection from the grave for the Elect. As for the other verses you quoted, they do apply to the second coming and the Day...

Dear Douggg, There is nothing more I can do to try and help you understand. As with all mankind, you must wait on the Lord to heal your spiritual blindness and convert you - and God's Word promises that He will do just that: 1Tim 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our...

Dear Douggg, You asked: Where in the text of Revelation 11:3-12 does it say the two witnesses become apostate ? Here is where: Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them...

Dear Douggg, The topic is about the Two Witnesses who experience the Early and Latter Rains along with them falling away and becoming apostate. The prophecy ends with their conversion. This is what I am discussing. If you have no ability to understand what this prophecy is actually teaching...

Dear Douggg, I am not going off on tangents. You simply do not understand that Christ teaches the New Covenant truths in His spiritual language. Christ teaches in this spiritual language to keep His truth concealed from everyone but His converted Elect. Because unconverted "babes" (Spirit of...

Dear Douggg, It is only after Christ has given a person the Latter Rain of the Spirit that their spiritual blindness will be healed. Once it is healed, Christ will appear in the clouds and will then gather the newly born child of God to heaven. Christ appears in the clouds because it is His...
