    Was Mary Sinless?

    Mary eventually physically died! How then could she or any other human besides Jesus be sinless since death comes from sin?

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    It was that part of the grave called of Old the bosom of Abraham that was emptied by Christ after He arose from the grave and before ascending to heaven first descended into the lower parts of the earth to set the captives of faithful Old Covenant saints free. Though physically they have died...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Yes, the judgment seat of Christ is what all faithful Christians are called to endure in this life. It is the fiery trials we are called to endure as the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven is being built through the power of the Spirit in us. The judgment seat of Christ is what every faithful...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    When Christians are called to stand before the Lord, what shall we be able to claim as our own good works that do not come from God working in us to both will and do of His good pleasure? Philippians 1:6 (KJV) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    I agree. Since we have already been judged righteous through the righteousness of Christ, we have no more fear of the judgment that shall come that is the second death. It is in life that Christians are being judged. The purpose for this judgment of God is that we might grow in both faith and...

    The Current War against Iran and Support for Israel is based on Catholic Counter Reformation Theology.

    True! Not only for Israel but for ALL without exception who, like them, continue in blindness and unbelief!

    The Current War against Iran and Support for Israel is based on Catholic Counter Reformation Theology.

    Israel of the flesh lost the land of promise, not because God reneged on His promise, but because Israel reneged, turning against God, serving other gods. Now in your confusion you argue God will give Israel another chance, while the rest of the nations of the world who remain in unbelief, as...

    The Current War against Iran and Support for Israel is based on Catholic Counter Reformation Theology.

    But for Israel of the flesh, you only want to claim that part of God's promise for life, while ignoring the rest of His promise is death for Israel in unbelief!

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    He was glorified the moment He ascended into heaven, and even before going to the cross. Daniel 7:13-14 (KJV) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was...

    Exactly! According to promise all who are ordained to eternal life from the foundation of the world are eternally saved from the foundation of the world. Because all of the promises of God are yes, and Amen! I believe in Rev 19 begins with John seeing a vision from heaven of what shall be...

    Who is Israel?

    I find no evidence for any of this in the Word of God. Since you don't prove what you allege from the Word of God, I'm left to believe this is simply opinion without biblical fact. As I keep saying, the promise is not for only some of the earth but that believers shall inherit the entire new...

    Zech 9:14 makes no mention of the last/seventh trumpet. The only place in Old Testament Scripture that speaks of seven trumpets is found in Joshua and that has to do with conquering Jericho. Had nothing to do with feasts of Israel. Joshua 6:3-4 (KJV) And ye shall compass the city, all ye...

    I agree Christ had to literally come in the flesh that all that is written of Him would be literally fulfilled. How do you think Old Covenant saints were eternally saved before the first advent of Christ? Do you believe they were saved by grace through faith when they heard the gospel of...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    When I repented and believed in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, I personally experienced the Spirit sent from Christ to dwell in me. I will not experience Christ coming the second time in the flesh until the sounding of the last/seventh trumpet. There is no 3rd coming of Christ to...

    Who is Israel?

    Israel of faith, like Gentiles of faith shall inherit the whole new earth! Why would they be content with only the promised land of old since God has promised the faithful shall inherit the new earth and all things? Revelation 21:1-7 (KJV) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the...

    Who is Israel?

    Yes, the faithful remnant from Israel with faithful Gentiles combined shall be "all Israel that shall be saved." It is through Gentiles being grafted in among the remnant of faithful Israel that all Israel shall be saved. Since the advent of Christ faithful Jew & Gentile together are the...

    According to promise all who shall be redeemed by Christ are eternally saved from the foundation of the world. We are counted among the redeemed of Christ from the foundation of the world when our names are written in the book of life. In the same manner in which Abraham was according to...

    It was through Christ's birth that the New Covenant and the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven was ushered in. Remember all of the promises of God are yes, and amen! The Old Covenant faithful saints could not ascend to heaven until after Christ literally made atonement for sin and defeated...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    As I said, Christ comes to us through His Spirit in us and that is what Rev 3:20 is alluding to. The same spiritual depiction applies to the words of John above. WE, whosoever has the Son, has the Father also through the Spirit of Christ in us. 1 John 2:24 (KJV) Let that therefore abide in...

    Neither do I see complete fulfillment at the cross and resurrection. There won't be complete fulfillment until the gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached unto all the nations of the world, and the Kingdom in heaven is complete. Revelation 19:1-4 (KJV) And after these things I heard a...
