Yes, it is a serious question! Since before his binding Satan had power to hold the Gentile nations of the world in bondage to sin and death, how can any Gentile be saved if Satan was not bound through the advent of Christ's cross and resurrection? Those who believe Satan has not yet been...

Since the binding of Satan prevents him from condemning those who are in Christ Jesus, this is only possible after Christ came to earth a sinless man, gave His life to make atonement for sin, and showing He has all power over death resurrected from the grave. If Christ has not yet bound Satan...

Paul described himself as being bound with a chain. None would think that Paul's chain was literal. Paul's chain was spiritual, not physical, but it still held spiritual restraining power over him to the degree that he could do nothing less than what God had ordained of him. In the same...

How would having forgiveness of sins give eternal life before Christ defeated death by His cross and resurrection?

Being the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world only shows Christ made Himself the atonement for sin. But until Christ was born, and resurrected from the dead how are those whose sins are forgiven to inherit eternal life?

He is the Head of the whole body of believers, called the Church. "IT" the body, Christ's Church is what Jesus came to build. He as the Master builder, the Chief Cornerstone, and we, the church, the body of the saints, are builders together with Him as we proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom of...

Reading the following verses and passages from Scripture and continuing to deny that we, the church/faithful saints are NOT the bride of Christ, Who is the bridegroom is akin to reading wearing a blind fold. John 3:28-30 (KJV) Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ...

Yes! Israel of God! Not an ethnic people, but the people of God, people of faith from both Israel of Old and Gentiles of New. How do you reconcile the contradiction you force into the Word of God? Hosea 1:10 (KJV) Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea...

2 Peter 3:10 (KJV) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. I've come to believe 'elements' in this...

I appreciate what you've said, though I believe our resurrected body of flesh will be changed to immortal & incorruptible body of flesh that shall be made alive again through our eternal spirit that shall return with Christ. Just as the body at creation was a lump of clay without life before...

John 18:36 (KJV) Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. From the fall, all of humankind comes in/of/from/through this world! The Kingdom...

The Old Testament refers often to the "Spirit of the Lord."

1 John 5:6-8 (KJV) This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these...

Are you implying they are not one and the same Holy Spirit?

From creation God, the Holy Spirit has been with His people in the world. Before Pentecost the Spirit dwelt with His people of faith, and after Pentecost Christ sent His Spirit to be in His people of faith. Before Pentecost the Spirit often came and went upon chosen people of Old. But after...

How is peace in this age achieved for people of the world who enjoy peace that only Christ can give? Do you equate world peace to the peace that comes through knowing Christ? Philippians 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds...

We have nothing to look forward to IF we have not eternal spiritual life NOW, before we physically die and the sounding of the last trumpet. Only those who have been born again, being sealed by the Holy Spirit, both know and enter the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven have hope for inheriting...

You're only showing the last day of this age that Isaiah's prophecies pertain to. The prophecy of Isaiah refers to the whole time/age of the Messiah, when He would come! Isaiah's prophesy here begins with a song of praise to God for the anticipated deliverance of His people from bondage in...

The temporal age for mankind ends when our natural body of flesh breathes its last. The spirit of all who physically die in faith returns to God in heaven as spiritual body, living souls, where we are as the angels of God, spirit without human form. Angels of God that are spirit beings do not...

The New Covenant through Christ was ordained in heaven from before the foundation of the world. That's when God provided HIMSELF the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world. All the promises of God are 'yes' and 'amen', so according to promise whosoever from the beginning of creation to...
