    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    You wrote: "No, scripture does not say that salvation is limited to this age. Being a chosen Elect/heir/First Fruit/saint is limited to this age. For the Elect, they will be born again while they still have breath. Then they will receive the reward of having life during the ages and reigning...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Simple! Do you believe that all people now have the Gift of the Holy Spirit, without choosing to ask for Him to come into their lives? If so, then who are they, that are none of Christ's in Rom. 8:9, for the reason given?

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    In all actuality, in all of what you wrote, it really is a description of believers who repent towards God, by having faith in the finished work of Christ's sacrifice, for all sins that are common among men. However, the one thing lacking in them, is they NEVER ASKED for the Gift of God's Holy...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes! I agree! However, Jesus makes it plain and clear that in order for anyone to enter into the KoG. They must be "born again" NOW by His Spirit, aka the Holy Spirit, while they still have breath. In regards to the death of Lazaruth, a believer, Jesus reveals that He Himself is the...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    You missed the Holy Spirit speaking in the latter part of my post #107. Reposted: "What is relative to A and B, is that the saved KNOW that the Lord IS The Lord, through FAITH, by the Holy Spirit that dwells within them, whereas the unsaved shall ONLY know of Him as Lord outwardly, BY eyesight...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    I agree with all that, but it is AFTER the fact of the first appearance of Jesus in mortal flesh. Yes, we who ARE "born again of His Spirit" are NOW members of the body of Christ, and have spiritually entered into the KoH (Col. 2:12; 3:1). But, until Jesus became the literal "firstborn from the...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Please think this through by the Holy Spirit, and not by "the wisdom of men" of "church-ianity". In ref. to your quote of Mat. 24:15, Jesus was speaking about Israel THEN, saying: "When YE shall see..." Please tell us, who is being spoken of in Psalm 24:1-5 [1] The earth is the LORD's, and the...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    I inserted correctly, because it was Jesus' literal body that was meant!! Only Jesus IS "the FIRSTborn from the dead", being Himself "THE first resurrection". Finish the context of John 2:21 [21] But he spake of the temple of his body [of mortal flesh]. [22] When therefore he was risen from the...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    It's about the 7th "abomination" that was committed against God's temple!! Proverbs 6:16-19. Not only did the Jews commit "the abomination that maketh desolate", they also took the responsibility for it. Mat. 27:25. Jesus Himself spoke it to them of what they were going to do. John 2 [18] Then...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Between the two scriptures you posted, you are comparing apples to oranges. A. 1 Cor. 12 is about how one can know who is a "born again" Christian (wheat), as opposed to those who know not of what they worship, if anything at all (tares). Therefore Paul informs us, that while in this flesh, NO...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Ans. Mankind DOES NOT HAVE an eternal soul. Here is a proper translation of KJV Gen. 2 [7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground [soil, clay], and breathed into his  NOSTRILS the breath of life [oxygenated air]; and man BECAME a living soul. Gen. 6 [17] And, behold, I, even I...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    And the Jews, who "desolated" the temple body of Jesus, were a type of Antiochus Epiphanes. As for Judas Maccabeus, who "restored" the temple after its "desolation", guess who "restored" the temple body of Jesus?

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Nowhere in scripture are we specifically led to believe that the prophecy of the 2300 DAYS are to be converted into years. The temple/sanctuary, during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes, was ransacked and desolated, not destroyed within the 1290 days of the 2300. In 1&2 Maccabees the math is all...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Rom. 8:8-9. If a person is lost forever, it is because they never received the Spirit of Christ, while they had breath. Judas Iscariot is a prime example of that. There are NO second chances for anyone who ignores or neglects to come to God through faith in Christ, before their mortal death...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Indeed, that WAS Antiochus Epiphanes, the "little horn". He did not die by any man's hand, but rather by extreme internal sickness/disease and frustration in mental anguish, of losing all that he commanded and worked for, who in the end realized that he had been fighting against the God of...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Free will to CHOOSE, absolutely!! A&E NEVER did partake of the Tree of Life. For if they had, all of mankind's future would've been far different than what it has become. And for that, we can't even speculate on. NO ONE is predestined to salvation or destruction. However, the PLAN of God's...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Correct. The KJV and the TR-Greek text clearly reveals that it is God's desire that all men be saved, not that all men shall be saved. It is a known fact that many die in unrepentance towards God, having no faith in Christ whatsoever. 1 Tim. 2:4 1 Timothy 2:4 4 ὃς πάντας ἀνθρώπους θέλει σωθῆναι...

    Why are some interpreters not being honest with the text involving Daniel 9:27?

    In your estimation, you are correct to think that there is much confusion about the 70th week. However, most are discerning the word of God by "the wisdom of men" (their natural mind), and not by the mind of Christ, if He is within them. 1 Cor. 2 [5] That your faith should not stand in the...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Sorry to see that the Premil doctrine has captured your discernment and understanding, by "the wisdom of men". 1 Cor. 2 [4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: [5] That YOUR faith should NOT stand in the...
