    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    There is no contrast, they all receive the same fate. Eric, the MESSENGERS who sinned (sons of God), are ungodly humans who lived in the days when man began to call upon the name of the Lord, and the ungodly humans who lived in the days of Noah. God tells us the same fate awaits both ages. The...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Joe, I didn't mean I that you should not argue. It seems you are inducing me to argue for Monergism. That would not be beneficial to the OP who wishes to know if one might find comfort through believing the Sovereign Grace Doctrines, labeled Monergism.

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Joe, you are not adhering to the wishes of the OP. The desire was not to argue, but rather to post why one would believe in the doctrines called Monergism. Monergism does not support your doctrine of universal salvation. Monergism defends the doctrine of 'limited atonement' not unlimited...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    This is absolutely biblical! Excellent expose on the baptism that saves. Water baptism commanded by Christ for the New Covenant body, like circumcision commanded by God for the Old Covenant body. Both of these 'signs' signified separation from the world in unbelief. It is a means of...

    What if the book of Revelations was written before AD 70 ?

    The Church on earth, of which Christians are is the representation of heavenly Jerusalem, where there is most certainly persecution, suffering and death. The two witnesses are two olive trees and two candlesticks, which are the Church of Old, proclaiming Christ through the Law and Prophets, and...

    TWO GOSPELS

    Why would anyone, since Christ has come and done away with the Old Covenant under the Law, to establish the New Covenant in His blood, preach of the old earthly kingdom? The only ones looking for the earthly kingdom of David are Israelites in unbelief who are still looking for the promised...

    What if the book of Revelations was written before AD 70 ?

    Why would Christ tell John to measure the temple of old after Christ tells us that He and His saints are the Temple of God through the power of the Holy Spirit? This is the temple to be measured, and the holy city is not physical Jerusalem of Old, but heavenly Jerusalem above that those of...

    TWO GOSPELS

    Not another or different gospel of the Kingdom of God through Christ! The same gospel of the Kingdom of God through Christ preached to different people, to the Jews first, then to Gentiles also.

    TWO GOSPELS

    The same gospel of the Kingdom of God that would come to pass when the promised Messiah, Christ Jesus our Lord would come. God preached the gospel even to Abraham, saying through Abraham a SEED (Christ) would come and all nations would be blessed through Him. Galatians 3:8 (KJV) And the...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    LOL! Keep trying to push the mythological doctrine of Satan as a fallen angel! Why didn't you address the FACT that ALL the angels of God are SPIRITS SENT FORTH TO MINISTER TO THE HEIRS OF SALVATION? When was this so-called fallen angel of God called Satan a ministering spirit of God sent...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    No, I said what I meant and meant what I said! The ungodly are the ungodly humans no matter when they lived and died. This is not true! The darkness was there and with darkness comes nothing, no life, no light. That's why God spoke His Light into the darkness and separated the darkness from...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Joe, we're very close in our understanding of the Sovereign Grace Doctrines called Monergism. I agree that mankind can add nothing to grace through faith to merit salvation. As you've shown it is the work of God alone to eternally save His people. The only difference between what you believe...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Greetings Joe, Are you saying that Monergism teaches universal salvation? If you are that is not Monergism but is that which Monergism denies.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Yes, I doubt any of us would argue the Light that invaded the darkness is the Light brought through the Spirit of God. What about the darkness? It was there, did God create it, perhaps, but that's not really the question. Darkness throughout Scripture is used as a metaphor for the habitation...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    The messengers that sinned are those whom God calls "sons of God" that lived in earlier days of Adam & Eve, the days of Seth when man began to call upon the name of the Lord. They are sons of God because they were to be the Light of the world, those who were to show forth the righteousness of...

    I will raise them on the last day.

    The Son of Man ascended to heaven in physical body! And NONE, but He, has died, resurrected in physical form and ascended to heaven clothed in immortal flesh. Many, in fact, since Christ has ascended to heaven, all who have physically died have ascended to heaven as spiritual body, living souls...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Greetings again GracePeace, I think it might be more beneficial if you could share what parts of Monergism have you questioning whether or not they are supported from the Word of God and not from the mind of any man? I wish to address the things that might be troubling you, rather than getting...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Satan desires to have you! He has already filled you with such pride that you would rather continue to promote myths from old and encourage others to also rather than admit that your doctrine is WRONG! You've refused to address every argument put forward and instead make false accusations...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    If Satan was a created angel of God who became Satan through disobedience, why, when speaking of His angels does God say they are SENT, not CREATED, they are ALL ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:7 (KJV) And of the angels he...

    What is your spiritual understanding, if you have any, of the darkness that covered the face of the deep?
