    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    I was referencing Dan. 12:11-12 which is about the 1290 plus the 45 days (1335), that were at the end of the 2300 day prophecy, of which, as you pointed out, is shown in Dan. 8:14. Thanks for pointing out that oversight. Antiochus Epiphanes, in his time, did literally fulfill the 2300 day...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    As I have previously said , all who lived their lives under the OC., could only have their sins forgiven for a period of one year, through the sacrifice of animals. In other words, their sins were never removed. Only by the Sacrifice of Christ is sin removed. God who is Holy, cannot permanently...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes, however, it would be impossible for God's Holy Spirit to permanently dwell within the OC saints, because the blood of Christ was not shed yet for the REMOVAL of sin. Therefore, the form of repentance that came to them was that of "metanoia", thus having only a change of their own mind...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Cont'd from #250: As you might recall, I gave the TR Greek definition of the other form of repentance, being that of the word: "metanoia" "is having only a change of our "own mind", Of the two forms of repentance, only one form of repentance is acceptable to God, and that is "metanoeo"...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes, that is the point that we disagree on, being the two symbolic approaches of God's Holy Spirit, known as "the former and latter rain". I fully understand the point you are making. However, in my discussion with you, I perceive that I have not been thoroughly clear in delivering the crucial...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Almost my exact point!! As I had said: " The Holy Spirit of God IS NOT GIVEN yet to a person, that He is LEADING to repentance (metanoeo) towards God. At that time in a person's life, the mind of God, His Holy Spirit, only comes along side of us, but IS NOT YET permanently within the repentant...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    That is my point, of which you DON'T hear or see. The Holy Spirit of God IS NOT GIVEN yet to a person, that He is LEADING to repentance (metanoeo) towards God. At that time in a person's life, the mind of God, His Holy Spirit, only comes along side of us, but IS NOT YET permanently within the...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    MY one last point: 1. Adam and Eve were created innocent. They had NO knowledge of evil or good, nor did they have Eternal existence of any kind! 2. Christ does NOT GIVE the Holy Spirit to anyone WITHOUT their "asking" or knowing!! Luke 11:13. The first step to Christ, is from outside of...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Since you are moving on to another thread, I can only say that throughout the NT scriptures, Jesus makes it plain that His Glorious, visible return from Heaven, in Immortality, will be suddenly, a one time simultaneous event of destruction for all the unsaved, and redemption for ALL OF HIS Born...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I repeat: If we, as individuals, DO NOT make Him our choice, while we have breath, we CANNOT go on living into Eternity. Rom. 8-10 [8] So then they that ARE in the flesh [only-being unconverted] cannot please God. [9] But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Although you know of all this, let's first look at Adam and Eve, and our inheritance of free will, aka the freedom to choose, during the short lived time of their innocence. In the scene of the Garden of Eden, how is it that man was not given free will to choose? And in that choosing, did not...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    In your quote above, verse 22 clearly states that those who remained IN** their Adam nature, DID NOT CONVERT, so that they could be IN** Christ (and He in them). Therefore, they ARE NOT made alive (quickened-indwelling Holy Spirit) unto the resurrection of Eternal Life, or even their old...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    "FaithWillDo", I don't read your posts lightly. I do agree with much of what you say. Yes, though most do not understand the concept of our reality in Christ, we each ourselves are the New earth, God's long desired dwelling place of Immortality, with HIS Righteousness within us.. 2 Cor. 4 [7]...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    No one is becoming a Saint! They either are a Saint, or they are not!! You are not understanding Rev. 3:20 John 3:3-8; 14:23 and Rom. 8:8-9. Just as soon as a person repents towards God, by having faith in the shed blood of Christ, and opens the door of their innermost being, for Him to enter...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    No. It's more simple than you can imagine. Rom. 8 [9] But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his...for EVER!! See Rev. 3:20. There is NO future "add on" of another "second chance"...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Mat. 13 [47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: [48] Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    And they also, if they [of Israel] abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. If they choose to abide "in unbelief": then God cannot and will not graff them in again. It most definitely is a CHOICE for us to answer the Lord's "knocking", and OPEN...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    What you say has merit for understanding your reasoning of the work of Christ in the early and latter rain. In that I agree and have no problem. For awhile now, I have understood the three "comings" of Jesus. What does bother me though, is your insistence that everyone will be saved, even those...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Similar to Adam and Eve, by our free will, we have the CHOICE to "believe", or to remain in "unbelief". Rom. 11[23] And they also, if they [of Israel] abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. If they choose to abide "in unbelief": then God cannot...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Since Jesus is the Mediator between God and fallen mankind, can you describe the word "covenant", and how it relates to 1. God, 2. Jesus and 3. ourselves? I'm sure you can, but I'm not sure that you are relating with what is required of each, in order to enter into that covenant relationship...
