    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    I understand the blood atonement perfectly and I also understand the election of God, which you clearly reject. What's your hangup on children's comics?

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    If you say so, then it must be true. But my boasting is all in the Lord. I didn't save myself or choose God, He chose me. I didn't learn the truth by reading commentaries or going to a Seminary, but the Lord teaches me all things (that I'm confident in. My own understanding can always be...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    I love that cartoon, especially the pet tiger. I'm a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, who's recieved multiple gifts of the Spirit, used them in ministry for over 20 years, and called to be a prophet to the church and the nation. You're just a petulant child.

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    Yes I am. That's what Jesus taught indirectly and Paul taught explicitly. It's called the doctrine of election and was taught by the Apostle Paul. Why are you trying to teach something about being born again when you don't even understand how that happens ? BTW, No one rejects christ after they...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    That's exactly my point, the willingness to respond comes from God, not from us. That's what is being taught in John 1 :10-13, though the phrasing can trip up your brain, especially when you believe that you've assisted God by cooperating somehow. The passage says what it says and this is what...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    Where is choice in that? 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    Read the scriptures and stop playing the fool. 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    No one can change who they are. God does that. No one chooses to be born again. God does that. We might think that we play some part in that, but faith comes by hearing the word of God and it is God who opens the hearing ear. Regeneration is the work of His Spirit. Repentance is the fruit of His...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    As a believer you can still live according to the flesh and die for it. I don't think you loose your salvation for it, but I wouldn't bet my soul on it either. Anyone could be self deceived about their relationship with God, but the witness within us confirms our relationship with Him. Ananias...

    The Rapture Is in Olivet Discourse

    No, believers speak against the pre trib rapture because it isn't explicitly taught in scripture and we've been specifically instructed to not go beyond what is written in God's word, to not add to it, or take from it. Since the book of the Revelation contradicts this false doctrine, you remain...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    Hi Ron, I see where "behold" is coming from: 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the...

    The Rapture Is in Olivet Discourse

    Why bother? You'll never grow past your error. Obsession with a fantasy is called psychosis. I'm a prophet, not a psychiatrist.

    Jeremiah's Prophesies

    I won't argue against this, but I find 12,000 from each tribe mourning over the Lord in scripture and yes, that's only a remnant, but: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Matthew 7:13 I'm pretty sure...

    The Rapture Is in Olivet Discourse

    Not at all. It's called secret, because it is not found explicitly taught anywhere in scripture, but is a "clever" wresting of unrelated verses to produce a carnally derived doctrine that appeals to fear and cowardice in the face of ungodly persecution and suffering. I understand now how you...

    The Rapture Is in Olivet Discourse

    "Thank you for replying. However, I have to ask you, do you believe Noah's ark and the global flood was a true story? Do you also believe Sodom & Gomorrah that git destroyed was also a true story? Then why would you apply that to mean a metaphorical message instead of an escape from earth?"...

    The Rapture Is in Olivet Discourse

    There is no rapture in those verses, but they do represent the idea that those without the Spirit of the Lord are outside His protection. The Lord is like Noah's ark, a shelter for those who enter in, a shelter from the flood of ungodliness in a world turning away from God to worship the...

    Jeremiah's Prophesies

    10 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there...

    The Rapture Is in Olivet Discourse

    I can believe that, but it's a mistake to equate the furnace of fire with hell. Deep affliction in the old testament is compared to a refining process where metal is purified. 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be...

    The Rapture Is in Olivet Discourse

    I'm familiar with any verse you might find in scripture, but none of them have anything to do with a "secret rapture" as there is no such doctrine described either explicitly or implicitly in scripture, just poor interpretation of the passages about the 1st resurrection, the return of Christ...

    Why are so many Christians still so confused about the afterlife?

    After review, I think that the "outer darkness" being in the OT was a conclusion taught by some radio show host (or maybe it was just the Holy Spirit during one of my read through of the scriptures.) I can't really remember where I heard or saw that teaching, but if you do a quick study on the...
