The nation of Israel possessed the Kingdom before the advent of Christ. They were the ones hearing the word of the Kingdom without understanding, keeping them in bondage to darkness and death, the devil had the ability to take away the Word sown in their hearts. Since only the remnant from the...

According to Scripture, Christ is the propitiation for ALL sin! 1 John 2:2 (KJV) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. While it is abundantly true that Christ gave His life to pay the penalty for ALL sin, it is also...

Exactly! Christ is showing what WAS as compared to what is NOW, or since He has come. Christ Himself is the sower of the good seed, producing children of the Kingdom NOW throughout the whole world. With the good seed of Christ, the devil sows his tares among them, but since Christ, our...

Revelation chapter 20 is a picture of two types of people living in an age of TIME that John likens a thousand years. John defines those who have lived and reigned with Christ in this age of TIME, who having been martyred for their faith, John sees as living souls in heaven. Next John writes...

Building upon what wpm has already given you, it might be somewhat helpful to fully understand what Satan's power to deceive means for all who are without Christ. To be in spiritual darkness means to continue to be under the condemnation of death, that all of humanity came under after the fall...

Yes, I agree! Especially in Catholicism, those who rush to baptize infants fearing they might die and be condemned to eternal damnation without being sprinkled with holy water. That's why it's important for Christians to correct this error. We don't correct error by teaching that water...

Water baptism saves none, nor does the lack of being water baptized condemn anyone. People often don't realize that Christ gave us the SIGN using water baptism as a means of showing the world that His Church while on earth is separate from the world of unbelief. Water baptism is a sign which...

This is NOT TRUTH! We are made righteous in the eyes of God by Christ ALONE! It is through His obedience that man is made righteous according to God's grace ALONE through faith ALONE! The faithful obey Christ because they are righteous, not to be made righteous!

I pray you will not be one of the many who suddenly and very unexpectedly succumbs to cardiac arrest, stroke, blood clots, cancer and a whole plethora of other ailments that injected people throughout the world are now describing they've suffered from. Perfectly healthy young people, as young...

Have you any REAL scientific proof that the many deaths attributed to Covid are not in reality resulting from the so-called vaccines for Covid? How do you prove that if the Covid shots had not been available the masses could not have survived this so-called killer naturally? Can you say with any...

The OT Law was never given to justify anyone! Even if they could have kept the Law flawlessly, without faith, that is to believe in the Messiah who was to come, none could be justified through the Law. Because obedience to the Law is WORK, and no man has ever been eternally saved by his/her...

Do you ever feel like your speaking to a brick wall, or perhaps crying in the wind?

Do you really imagine that Old Covenant Jews could be eternally saved by perfect obedience to the Law? If this is what you imagine your doctrine is far more confused than I realized. Old Covenant Jews were saved by the same Christ Who saves whosoever believes in Him. They had the Gospel...

Lol! I almost asked the same question! Apparently Ernest has never heard of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Where does the faith that saves come from, since there are none righteous and none who seek God? Romans 3:10-12 (KJV) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are...

It is the Holy Spirit who gives fallen man the ability to believe through the Gospel. Whosoever believes to the saving of his soul believes through the power of God. That man who hears the Gospel according to grace through faith is counted as righteous before God. Man is saved by GRACE...

I believe God through His Spirit works through the Gospel, changing hearts and making us willing to believe. Apart from the working of the Spirit through the Gospel all mankind is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins and has no desire for Christ.

I find great joy when one who professes faith in Christ desires to belong to the One body of Christ through water baptism. We have no ability to see the heart, so we simply baptize them into the One body of Christ as new disciples, and through instruction we pray their lives will demonstrate a...

It gets a little bit muddled. Because many receive the sign gift of water baptism who have never had saving faith. So saying that water baptism is an outward sign of an inward change may be true, but that is not always the case. So rather than say it is an outward expression of salvation, I...
