I don't think that you are seeing our free will since creation. Adam and Eve were created having only innocence, which is having no knowledge of evil or good at all. From that point, they were introduced to the Tree of Life, and the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Both of which are...

Of course! Jesus allowed the Father's will to have priority and authority over him. Though He Himself was eternal with the Father, before the world was, the beginning of His sacrifice, in mortal flesh while on earth, was to submit to His Father's will, of Whom is Greater than Himself.

And what was it that Jesus said about that? John 10:3-35, [34] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Yes! Indeed we are gods, by which "that spirit of antichrist" operates, being seated in the temple of God (made by and for God), our mortal bodies, showing...

It relates to your concept that all humanity, both the converted and the unconverted shall be saved, whether they want it or not. God never knocks down the door of our free will (the heart of our being), but instead waits patiently outside knocking, hoping for us to open the door, that He may...

Mat. 12:43-45 is speaking to/about the house of Israel and no other people. Unfortunately, through your belief system, you are ignoring the three manifestations of Jesus' coming to mankind. 1. Past: in mortal flesh to Israel only. Mat. 15:24, Mat. 23:37-39. 2. Present- by His Holy Spirit to...

I already believe much of what you are saying, but I do not believe that all of mankind will be saved. Rom. 8:8-9. When we were created, we were created with free will. Even after our conversion of being born again, while still in this body of death, we still have free will.

Yes, the born experience now, of being risen with Christ, is for those who do what Jesus calls us to do. It is stage one of the two stages, in the process of salvation and redemption. Rev. 3:20 is the act of conversion of being made into a NEW creature, having only the Gift of eternal life...

The Apostle Paul gives a a good description of what shall take place when the Lord is revealed from Heaven. 2 Thes. 1 [7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not...

The words "Age of God's Grace" is based on the assumption that the victory over death, by the sacrificial and shed blood of Jesus, is the only form of atonement that is acceptable to the Father for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, in the Day of Jesus' visible return from Heaven, the time for...

Are you saying that the second manifestation (coming) of Jesus will take place with the converted believer upon his mortal death?

I have been having trouble replying to your posts. Because of excessive character counts, I would not be allowed to "post reply". Your posts have been quite long. I usually don't like to pick and choose sections of another's posts because of train of thought.

Oops, sorry! I just read your understanding of the 1000 years. Yes, we agree. There is no 1000 year reign of Christ on the earth upon his Glorious return from Heaven.

^ I keep informing you that I do agree with much (90%) of what you say. Of the 10%, I hear it and entertain it, but by Christ's mind within me, your understanding of the born again experience/existence, as the start of becoming a new creature now, is being misconstrued with a future additional...

I agree in what you say, and how you say it. However, I do see the symbolic 1000 years as not being literal years, nor is it to be tacked on the end, right after Jesus returns in flaming fire. I see the 1000 years as symbolic, as being the Lord's day now, which is still now, ever since Jesus'...

Yes, but I must emphasize that Jesus is the Firstborn from the dead, and all we who are Born again of His Spirit, are having part in His resurrection now. Rev. 20:6. Yes, our resurrection is a two stage processs. First by His Spirit, then secondly in the day of His Glorious appearance in His...

I agree to some of what you are saying, but I think we can simplify what takes place with people, who become only believers, but never invite God's Holy Spirit into their lives. 1a. That spirit of antichrist cannot co-exist (co-inhabit) within a born again believer at the same time. 1b. Once...

Many assume the word "rapture" is in reference to the resurrection of our physical bodies into immortality. Unfortunately, many are not seeing that our resurrection is a two stage process. First spiritual, by being born again of/by Christ's Holy Spirit, and then upon Christ's Glorious and...
