If one is still in Adam they are still dead........it is only IN CHRIST that all will be made alive who are in Christ. That is what it is saying. No one outside of Christ will be resurrected to eternal life. They remain dead in their sins (although they will be resurrected so as to be...

"...then when He comes, THOSE WHO BELONG TO HIM. " Only those who belong to Him will be made alive. All who are "in Christ" will be made alive. Then the END will come.

It's according to His foreknowledge...."elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father" 1 Peter 1:2 But lets' not get away from the point, the point being that clearly not all will receive eternal life. Act 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the...

Well, yes, If I'm understanding, there are places where the word "aion" is used in a more literal sense. (This is why we need to rightly divide. the scriptures....dividing between literal and figurative etc...ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.). And this age/world/order has an end as the...

No I'm not, I'm testing the theory....I'm looking and comparing scripture with scripture, as I had suggested you do. See what you think: Jhn 12:32-34 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. The people answered...

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the...

Part of His character is that "I the Lord, do not change." Old and new testaments agree. New testament is the old testament revealed. And what happened to Ananias and Sapphira in the new testament should serve as a warning that God has not changed and will not be mocked. Another part of His...

Edom serves as an example and warning, like Sodom and Gomorrah....those kingdoms and people were permanently (forever) erased from history, from life. It shows that Satan and his kingdom (this fallen world and its fallen people) will one day likewise suffer the same fate....destruction...

I'm not a Greek scholar......but if we want to understand the meaning then my point was to suggest comparing the ideas being conveyed using that word with the same ideas being conveyed in OT Hebrew. The words forever, everlasting, eternal etc in Hebrew have no reference to a finite age, as I...

Edom was a literal kingdom, however it is also allegorical for what Rev. 14 is talking about. It's destruction as a literal kingdom is/was forever....since it has never risen again as a kingdom. As also the destruction of those who worship the beast will be forever. The word "forever" in...

Have you ever studied out such words as eternity, forever, everlasting, etc in the OT Hebrew? For example Ps. 9:5 says God will destroy the wicked and blot out their name forever. God is not teaching anything different in the new testament Greek. And I still would like to know how you...

You are reasoning with man's reasonings. Do you understand what Godly holy fear is? It is essentially worship. He is WORTHY to be feared, WORTHY to be worshiped, WORTHY of our love and obeisance and subjection, WORTHY of our awe and reverence. And we are NOT worthy...hence the two standards...

After His resurrection, Jesus breathed on His disciples and said "Receive ye the Holy Spirit." They couldn't be born of the spirit until after Jesus rose from the dead. But they still needed to wait to be filled with the Holy Spirit when He came at Pentecost. Elsewhere it was asked of...

The OT scrips are full of prophecies and words and prophetic foreshadowings about the Messiah/Jesus and the new covenant and kingdom of God, but they werent' revealed until He came. He was and is the key of David who unlocks all those OT scrips and the apostles wrote to expound them and flesh...

It is like when the Lord rebukes you.....it gets the job done that needed to be done. Your heart just submits. It is a holy fear, not carnal.

Yes that is the false accusation that keeps many from coming to Him.....because they do not understand/perceive spiritual truth and reject what He says. So I guess you are one of them then....? Anyway I don't care to stay and argue with those who are choosing their own way, it is like arguing...

Your understanding of the fear of the Lord is carnal and unspiritual. In other words, you do not understand it.

Amen. The bible says man is like the beasts that perish, meant to be taken and destroyed.....oh dear, there's that dreaded word again. But many think they know better than God and that their way is more righteous than His. They are choosing their own way. In all their thinking I hope they...

I've heard quite a few testimonies of people being shown hell by the Lord and that is what caused them to be willing to receive Christ. The bible says some save by compassion, some save by fear. Some do need the fear of God in them in order to come to Jesus. What does damnation mean? What...

It is not an intellectual exercise, but spiritual via the Holy Spirit....we will have Christ revealed to us when we come to faith but without receiving the Holy Spirit subsequent to that we cannot learn the deep things of God...we cannot really grow: 1Co 2:9-14 But as it is written, Eye hath...
