    Assumptions are certainly often shown to be wrong. Jesus' resurrection

    A spiritual body is not going to be a ghost or a vapor that cannot be touched. It is going to be a glorified spiritual body, something of substance, with Christ saying we will be like His own glorious body and like angels have. God will give to each of us a new spiritual body according to the...

    Pre-trib rapture!

    Which verses exactly are you bringing out? I spoke of all of them. None of them point to a pre trib rapture. Mathew 24 is reciting a story in a story. It gives an overall picture of the end of the last days. It is not entirely in temporal order. Christ gives an overview, then Christ goes back...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    This all gets back to Jesus saying you must be born again both to see and enter the kingdom of God, John 3 says. Being born of God, born again is according to God's will for any particular person in time. And it happens like a soft breeze of wind blowing on you, the kingdom of God does not come...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    People who believe righteousness with God is by obeying the commandments, doing good things, trying to be good, etc... Paul tells it to them like this, mankind is only justified by faith in Christ. AND if there is any other way to God, then Christ died in vain... So think about that... We are...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    This is not an issue for Calvinists whatsoever as they truly leave this in God's hands and they agree most closely with the scriptures, especially the scriptures describing salvation from an Eternal God's POV, predestined to be chosen in Him before time began which is different from a man's POV...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    Scripture is the only sure foundation we have for knowing who is saved Everything else is speculation. While it may make you feel good, know that it is not based in reality. I have no issue with infants going to heaven as I believe God is able to reveal to them who Christ is and they can...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    More exclusivity here. If you don't believe in Christ, they you do not have righteousness imputed to your account with God. He will see you as an unforgiven sinner and you're going to hell. Cause you did not believe the testimony He gave of His Son; you rejected the salvation freely offered to...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    There is no salvation for what we call good people who do good works who do not believe in Christ. It is just facts, not us judging them. God will judge them unworthy of eternal life as they do not believe in His Son. You read that all over the New Testament. v 9 If we receive the witness of...

    The concept of predestination

    Oh surely Christ knows, He knows all men. Before you were born, God wrote in his book all the days fashioned (made) for you, v16 Psalm 139 13 For You formed my inward parts; You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    Hebrews 2 shows us again how exclusive salvation really is. That God gives to Christ his children (believers) God testifies all souls are mine and the soul that sins shall die, and all have sinned, so they are all God's to do with as He chooses. John 17:6 “I have [c]manifested Your name to the...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    John 6 has the answers to these questions. And it shows the purpose and power of God regarding whom he saves, our salvation is not arbitrary...we are chosen for salvation by God who gives us to Christ as His children (brothers) v29 really starts to tell us the truth of our becoming saved. That...

    Are we truly born wicked?

    I don't believe in infant damnation though. I believe God makes them born again just like God does for us. Being born again is according to His will for us, not our will. So what happens, I think, God reveals to them Christ and they believe it. I think God does that for those who die in infancy...

    Assumptions are certainly often shown to be wrong. Jesus' resurrection

    The sea gives up her dead... You know sea water dissolves all bodies onto the water. There is nothing left, like the body never was. Some get eaten, but the bones will also dissolve. However, this does not prevent the resurrection. I had heard this was why in the Middle Ages, evil rulers burned...

    Assumptions are certainly often shown to be wrong. Jesus' resurrection

    Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ ********************************************* Jesus offered up His blood. Jesus is no longer flesh and...

    Pre-trib rapture!

    This is also a secret rapture proof they use The thief in the night they call the secret coming They seem to miss that this is a SUDDEN DESTRUCTION of the wicked, so then it is not a secret invisible coming only for the saints, as the judgement of the wicked happens at this time also. This is a...

    Pre-trib rapture!

    The other odd thing about people is they all call 1 thess 4 the rapture chapter and use it as proof of the rapture. But they seem to miss that this is also the resurrection of the dead in Christ. And miss that this is the coming of the Lord when He comes with a Trumpet and shouting and all the...

    Matthew 24 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because...

    Pre-trib rapture!

    Luke 17 22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, [h]‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. 24 For as the lightning that flashes out of...

    The chairman of the residence committee, Comrade Kaprugina tells Zhivago, “There was living space for 13 families in this one house.” “Yes,” says Zhivago, “yes, this is a better arrangement, comrades. More just.” https://timbarden.medium.com/the-death-of-the-american-dream-4104529f449b
