Yes, indeed, but the covenant of law does play a part in our understanding of the millennial kingdom and the judgment of angels, of powers, of principalities, of kings, of the spiritual hosts of wickedness in this age. Jesus set the standard of judgment. The words which He spoke are the standard...

I asked those questions because I wanted you to answer them. I've taught Sunday school, preached messages before the congregation, but I've never attended a seminary and I'm not so easily labeled by those biased by contrived doctrine. I've read scripture with increasing regularity since before...

Since your understanding is so refined and purified by a life of affliction and the discipline of a loving heavenly Father, would you be so kind as to define a few terms for all of us blind and ignorant born again babes in Christ? What is the spirit of error? What is the spirit of antichrist? Do...

Actually, I have given you a full and accurate explanation, but your understanding rejects it. Talk to God about it, ask Him about me if you'd like. Jesus is the true and faithful witness, Paul and I are just servants, both waiting for the final redemption of our bodies. Our callings are not...

Because they aren't and God never said that they were. Paul posed the question in his epistle to the Thessalonians and the statement as the desire of his heart to the Phillipians, but Paul seated himself in the place of Christ on occasion, even quoting scripture that applies to Christ in...

I'm just saying that we can only speculate about the judgment of Judas Iscariot who literally killed himself by hanging from a tree (as one accursed.) His actual judge is Jesus and not us, but the scripture only uses the phrase "son of perdition " a very few times and not in a good or "saved"...

I'm not missing anything, but you don't get to ignore grammatical rules when trying to interpret scripture. A statement remains a statement. A question remains a question. When you build doctrine on a question, you aren't building on established truth, but on wood, hay, stubble. Questions are...

That's clever and ultimately true, but what He said regarding His words and His works were all in submission to the Father (He said what the Father gave Him to say, He did those works that the Father showed Him. ) The scriptures give us a "trinitarian " view of God and a commission based upon...

God is not schizophrenic or confused. He never contradicts His word. The contradictions you create by your understanding are the fault of your understanding, not a failure of His word. You're on the highway, so keep walking, but don't put down your cross, don't crawl off the altar, and don't...

Thank you for explaining to yourself what I've been trying to point out. People aren't crowns, they're souls created in the image of God, but marred by sin. Crowns are rewards for those works that we do "in christ" and by faith. The people are never the works, but their faith, genuine and more...

We can't tell the motive of the heart, though sincerity seems detectable, so we can't say what was in Judas' mind when he took his own life (or even if that act was accomplished by another cohabiting spirit.) All we know for certain is that Judas is identified by scripture as a son of perdition...

That's what theologians call isogesis, reading into the text according to your understanding and belief, rather than exegesis, gaining understanding from what the text is saying. By your reasoning, the Lord is going to squeeze the Churches Paul ministered to into a crown and hand it to him as...

Yup. But I'm pretty sure that most people don't quite get that yet. I have no intention of making any arguments, you've got this 100% and you're not alone here even if the body struggles with the eternal gospel (it's not new, but not understood. ) It's not the gospel as given to men, but the...

Or maybe you're just confused. The devil has no problem with taking credit for things that he didn't do. The devil is a liar and the father of all lies. The devil delights in mocking God by carnal imitation and perversions of the truth. Look around you friend. Didn't Nebuchadnezzar believe that...

There are a number of crowns given as rewards, and in each case the crown is the reward, but the crown represents genuine faith, more precious than gold. The crown is also the symbol of authority. The king without his crown is still a king, but who recognizes it except by the crown upon his head...

Very good and what exactly does the Holy Spirit do? Hint: His work is in His names and Jesus gave us at least a few descriptive ones. Just another "worldly " question which obviously doesn't apply to everyone, but did you have a good Father in this life and did he ever place you on his lap and...

13 “In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. 2 “It shall be in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also...

Uh, the crown is the reward. Stop being so full of yourself, and be filled with His Spirit. That isn't a suggestion but a command, and it doesn't come from me, but from the word.

Not just a judgment, but a cleansing because all things are cleansed by fire and water, then purified through the word of God. 5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The...

Absolutely true, but like the kings of the earth, you're missing the nature of the reward, which is not the people of God, but God Himself. God judges the heart, our motives, not simply our actions. Are the redeemed a treasure to us? Do the angels rejoice at every soul saved? Do you love God...
