The fact that "[Jesus] will not leave [us] orphans" (gospel of John, from memory), should point to a rapture as well. The mistake is to think, "rapture" means removing entirely the faith - Jesus said "one will be taken, one will be left" (gospels, from memory). The rapture will not have the one...

Cognition is greater than knowledge, but also more taxing. The whole point of the forbidden fruit, is that it is a loss of cognition but not necessarily the right knowledge - which we have in Jesus (at a later point in History). Bear in mind, also that what Adam wanted before he took the...

You don't need to keep repenting, if your witness is bold.

I think what is probably more accurate, is that some Christians will go one and a half miles - saying "oh no! When Jesus said 'extra' He meant, additional in general" - you see they are twisting His words. Saying faith is "not of works", is not meant to mean 'inspiration takes a back seat'. If...

As hard as it is to understand, I think there may be a quietness and confidence, to Evolutionism. Quietness in Evolution being passed on to the next generation, and confidence that their own understanding (of Evolution) is enough. Jesus said "if you being evil give good gifts to your children...

The simple example, is going the extra mile. If you think of faith as "works", you are prepared to go one mile, if you are inspired by faith, you are prepared to go an extra mile.

The presence of works, that are there no matter where we die: indicates that Redemption is not context sensitive. Where does it say that I have to quote the Bible, in the Bible? (again, as I said, I often do, but here I don't think it's warranted) Which would you rather, a simple statement...

Hi there! So I thought I would post this in the Eschatological forum, because this is where the most contention about what is coming is to be found. I am not trying to present a specific case, for the order of things to come, save that I believe the experience of the Rapture, is supposed to...

As was said "spreading paranoia, and filling with fright" will not help. You need to be praying. God gives good things to those that ask: if you are surrounded in a bad world with bad things, but you ask for good, you will be a light to that world!

"Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold" "But he who endures to the end, shall be saved" I think you are close to the point @hldude33 when you say "I please God most of the time" - partially right, most of the time is moral. Therefore being moral for the expectation...

Hi there, So, I have had it dawn upon me, that I am stronger, when I search for the Lord. It's just a simple fact. I'm not sure how it works, or why - but I know it works. There is something about Him, that is pure, even in the Holy Spirit. I think it must be that the Holy Spirit is now in Him...

I write to people, on the assumption they have read the Bible and are at least partially familiar with it. I am happy to look up a verse (as I do often) if I think the exact order of the words has some significance. The quote of Revelation, was simply what I said "their works will follow after...

It might be "being", but it might be something else altogether. It's about what inspires you. The Devil wants to quash your faith, so he says "there is some type of rule, to your faith" - when in reality your faith could be dynamic in an almost infinite numbers of ways.

Hi there, So yes, the heart of the snare, people fall into when it comes to the anti-Christ, is that the anti-Christ aggrandizes the demand of the World - not that the World be a greater "World", but that the World be more greatly "the same". In other words, the World wants to refuse the...

I look up to my mates (Australians) - I am grateful for them. They have a pure spirit and care for each other and are there for each other. Sometimes they are a bit aimless and purposeless, but when they are kind they really mean it and want to help you. The power of being of like mind, is a...

I look up to my entire country (Australia), we are all mates, we are all there for each other. God moves in us and through us, in a very powerful way. Unfortunately, with the good comes bad, we make a good impression on people, but at times that's all we do and because we eschew leadership, we...

There is a tremendous strength, in siding with the Faith, irrespective of its doubts or misgivings. I mean, if you can really trust the Faith, really, then the Faith will defend you, when the time comes. For example, all the Faith, is looking forward to the coming of the Holy Spirit. If you...

At this stage, you need to be focused more on the persecutions that come with overcoming, than the specific trials themselves. We will overcome, one way or the other, but it won't be smooth sailing, just because we have faced our generations (spiritual) hurdle. Jesus addressed, this right...

Every little thing you do, God has a plan for.

Hi there, So I am a bekeeper you might say (I keep Jesus' words), and my focus is on the Holy Spirit to come. Something that has dawned on me, in searching the scriptures, is that our suffering on Earth will not be without reward, but that there will also be persecutions. In other words, for...
