Sorry, but I am not following you there ... its winter down here so I'm probably a little bit slow :)

I was thinking of what you wrote here: The sealing was for the first‑century church, not for you. And that’s exactly what the text supports. You’re not living in a time of looming judgment. You’re not waiting for a day of redemption. You’re not in danger of “losing the seal.” You’re living in...

I would say the Right (Republican) align with my Christian values more than the Left. Here we have a debate about what children should be taught in schools about gender and "gay" issues ... a lot of conservative Christian parents are taking their kids out of government schools and sending them...

As I understand it, training in the skills of a trade were handed down from father to son, so Jesus probably had many years of training by Joseph. I think some prefer the "carpenter" translation because it involves taking pieces of wood and shaping them into something useful or beautiful ...

I an certainly not an EX so I must be an AM :) Is it possible that Mat 24:31 is talking about the regathering of the elect Jews who will receive the Gospel? Mat 24:32 begins the fig tree parable which many see as the restoration of modern Israel. Why would we think that some of the elect in...

I think we need to read "sealed for the day of redemption" (Ephesians 4:30) in the context of Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise...

Very sorry to hear about your wife ... MS is a very challenging disease. In Australia, the government will adjust age pension payments on whether two people are sharing accommodation or are married.

I think we are not that different in distinguishing two groups You appear to be saying that the saved/chosen/elect/sealed are all one group who cannot be deceived. And the "called" are saved only if they do not fall away. My terms may be different but that is very close t how I see it too.

My understanding is that the elect believers (the "overcomers" who are sealed by the Holy Spirit during the church ages - Rev 2 & 3) are taken in the rapture (Rev 4:1) ... they return to the earth to live in the Millennium (Rev 19 & 20). Those who are sealed by the Holy Spirit in the time...

I agree with those who see the rapture of those who are sealed (during the gentile church ages) foreshadowed by John being caught up to heaven in Rev 4:1

If you mean Rev 7:4, my answer is no ... they are Jews And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

I believe the 'saved' and the 'sealed' are two different groups. We see it in many Scriptures but the letter to the Laodiceans (Rev 3) makes it quite clear ... the 'lukewarm' are a different group to the 'overcomers'.

You misunderstood my comment ... I said it would be a sin not to help (intervene) when someone was being attacked.

In my area Muslims are well known for their hospitality ... this is very attractive to people who may feel isolated. I lost a good friend to Islam recently ... we can no longer have a conversation without hearing how wonderful Muslims are ... and the ones he knows probably are. Not sure what...

Even with all the legal cases, Trump won the popular vote ... people saw it for what it was ... political lawfare with biased juries. The Left overplayed its hand in 2024. Trump's popularity is lower now because everyone hates war ... especially when they do not perceive an immediate threat...

It is good to remind ourselves that for us the Great Tribulation lies ahead, but many people around the world are already being persecuted for their Christian faith.

Many of William Branham's meetings were recorded. If you can roughly identify the year/s, there may be a recording online.

As an Australian watching from a distance, I have heard about TDS ... I have to say your post seems to demonstrate that. I am not a fan of Trump's demeanor, but as a Christian I would limit criticism to his policies, such as whether the war in Iran is justified. Trump's policies to reign in...

In fact, if one did not try to intervene in such circumstances, they would be breaking God's laws. Would I pull out a gun and shoot the perpetrator ... no. If I were a school teacher and saw someone shooting children, I would fire to kill. We would all have to make a split second decision, not...

I agree with almost all of your post but we seem to see "immortality" differently. What do you understand the word "quickened" to mean? Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) My understanding is that our soul/spirt become...
