    Jesus Chooses Us

    Fred, there is something you seem not to understand. God, through Jesus Christ 'OFFERS' the message about Christ (gospel) to all people without exception. Then through the gospel of the Kingdom of God proclaimed, God, through His Holy Spirit, 'GIVES' eternal life to whosoever believes...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Exactly, and if we read the context of next two verses, we learn you have spoken truth. John 3:17-18 (KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is...

    Rapture ... soon?

    That's a good point Bladerunner, if you mean we who have the Holy Spirit in us. That truly is the spiritual battle every Christians fights while in these bodies of sin and death. Our spirit (mind, heart, will, emotions) is changed through the power of Christ's Spirit in us, but we are still of...

    Jesus Chooses Us

    Allow me to turn the question back to you. If you are saved because you chose of your own free will to be saved, how do you know you are truly saved? After all, does not the Bible tell us "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" I find no comfort in believing that my eternal...

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

    Scripture refutes your error at every turn. It demolishes the Christadelphian of TS. Your words, not mine!

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

    Why would you label faithful saints Christadelphians, as you and others here have? They believe in salvation according to man's good works that must be accompanied by immersion in water. They reject assurance of salvation and teach only those who remain in Christ through good works will be...

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

    You seem to be bent on throwing out the baby with the bath water! Who made you judge of what is in man's heart? Where does Scripture say unless we have perfect understanding of all biblical doctrine, we are damned forever?

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

    What error? You haven't shown a thing I'VE ACTUALLY SAID that you oppose and view as error! You're simply outraged because I gave likes to one YOU have determined does not merit them. You don't get to tell anyone who they can and cannot give likes to. I don't have to explain myself to you...

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

    Where did I SAY men and angels are the same? Where did I SAY the elect of God in heaven are the same as angels. What I have said many times, in many threads is that when Christ is asked whose wife of seven husbands the woman would be at the resurrection, He was referring to HIS bodily...

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

    The problem for me is that you have shown a very hostile, antagonistic attitude throughout this thread. This attitude implies you understand what I HAVE SAID and you disagree with it. Instead of addressing what I'VE SAID, you feign lack of understanding and say I'm contradictory without saying...

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

    What do you believe I've avoided? I've attempted to be thorough in my replies, so what in these multiple posts have I avoided?

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

    That would be repeating myself again and most likely again! Why do you not simply address what I've said, and show me through the Word of God why you believe my understanding errs? It's not a discussion, but rather talking to myself when repeating again and again the things I've already stated.

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

    Revelation 12 as prophesied by Daniel Daniel foretells what would come to pass in the last days when the promised Messiah would at long last come to earth with salvation for whosoever among the sons of mankind (thy people) believe on Him would be saved. Daniel was given to know what would take...

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

    The doctrine you cling to does not come from the Word of God. Your doctrine is built upon mythology and tradition of man of old who lacked knowledge of things that would be when the promised Messiah would come to set the captives free through His Spirit in us. That time has come; it came when...

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

    When you grab something said out of context you can make it say anything you want it to say! In calling demons/devils angels instead of what they actually are, messengers of Satan, adds to the confusion that causes some to believe Satan and some of his messengers are created angels of God...

    Does the Bible contradict itself? - Reader Poll (and discussion)

    Those who want to force contradiction must ignore the word ROOTS. A tree can appear to be withered looking at it from the outside, but when seeing even the roots of the tree withered gives greater confirmation to the words Christ spoke, not less. Withered roots assures the words Christ spoke...

    Does the Bible contradict itself? - Reader Poll (and discussion)

    How is this a contradiction? The disciples saw the fig tree wither immediately, then walking with Christ in the morning they saw not only had it already quickly withered, but that it had withered even from the roots as well. With even the roots of the tree withered the words Christ spoke "Let...

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

    Are we being cryptic or do you simply not like that we have come to understand doctrines in ways that does not agree with what you believe? I understand that devils, demons and angels are spirit beings without human form. All of mankind at birth through natural spirit within us are sinful at...
