    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, I am not smarter I'm sure, but I am converted and can see spiritually. Also, there is no evidence that the Judean Christians were even in Jerusalem when the Roman armies surrounded it. Your beliefs do not have a foundation of truth. Also, you do not believe Paul when He...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, If the Judaean Christians fled as a direct response to Jesus' warning, they were misunderstanding His spiritual teaching in Luke 21:20. Also, how could they flee if the Roman army had already surrounded Jerusalem as the verse says? After all, the Roman army surrounding...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, You are still understanding Christ's end-time prophecies in a carnal way. Christ was not referring to the physical destruction of Jerusalem. He was referring to the destruction of spiritual Jerusalem (the one below) within a believer as they are being converted. Here is the...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, I have a few minutes now to respond to your last post. The physical destruction of Jerusalem is not mentioned in scripture. If you believe it is, show me the scripture. The scripture in Luke 21:20 which you previously mentioned is a prophecy on the spiritual destruction of...

    Dear covenantee, I will answer this post a little later today when I have more time. Joe

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, I will try to make my answer more clear to you than I did in my first post. The events described and/or prophesied to be fulfilled under the Old Covenant are physical outward events - like the birth of Christ and His ministry that led Him to the cross. But once the Old...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, Since the physical destruction of Jerusalem is not mentioned in scripture (either prophesied beforehand or in a historical sense), it didn't suit the purposes of God to include it. The opposite is true for the birth of Christ. I wanted to include the following comments below...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, I do believe that the destruction of Jerusalem was a physical historical event but it is not mentioned in scripture. The destruction of the Jerusalem in scripture is contained in spiritual teachings of Christ. There are TWO spiritual Jerusalem's in the New Covenant teachings...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, Yes, the true church has always existed and I have not said differently. You are confusing the true church with the apostate church and its nearly 2,000 different denominations/sects in this world. I believe that the first coming of Christ was in the flesh just as you believe...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, Like Christ, I am long suffering with the fallen away church. I have one final comment to make: When Christ is ready to "come again" to one of His fallen way Elect, He will cause them to pray for understanding or for anything else that only the Latter Rain of the Spirit can...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, The "church" is made up of faithful believers. However, since the death of Paul, the only faithful believers are the converted Elect - all the babes have been consumed by the wolves (ministers of Satan) in the apostate church and are no longer faithful. Here is the scripture...

    Dear Brakelite, So that is what you think of God's Word? It is amazing that you call yourself a believer. Joe

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, The true church is made up of converted Elect believers. They will experience the apostate church (the nearly 2,000 different denominations/sects of Christianity) but Christ will pull them out at the time of their harvest. Like the Wise Virgins, the Elect will be given the...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, The truth that is presented by Paul's conversion experience is presented over and over again in scripture. You just do not have the eyes to see it. In Rev 11, the type presented by the "two witnesses" teaches the same pathway that Paul's conversion taught. All the Elect are...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, I was converted on Oct. 8th 2005 at the age of 44 after having spent most of my life in the apostate church. After my conversion, I never went back to any organized church because they are all apostate. Though there are many beliefs contained in the various apostate churches...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, You said: Yes, the old covenant ended spiritually at Calvary, but its physical trappings persisted until 70 AD. That is why the physical destruction of Jerusalem was essential. You're missing that. The Old Covenant was physical & outward and was based upon the works of man...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, The Old Covenant ended upon Christ's crucifixion. The Law did not end - only the Old Covenant way of approaching God ended. At that time, the temple of God changed from being the physical temple to being a spiritual temple (the believer). All the New Covenant teachings of...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Dear covenantee, The end-time prophecies are spiritual teachings of the New Covenant. The signs of the times are spiritual events that occur within an Elect believer just before and during the time that they are going through the conversion process. After they are converted, the ends of the...

    When Jesus Came out the Grave, he was Born Again.

    Dear marks, I use that passage in Isa 28:9-12 quite often. It is a teaching on how the church became apostate shortly after Paul's death (Acts 20:29-31). Here is the passage in the KJV with my comments in blue: Isa 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand...

    When Jesus Came out the Grave, he was Born Again.

    Dear Ronald Nolette, Yes, they words are not there just as it is not there in 2Cor 5:20 - however, it is implied. Look at the Hebrew word for sin. It is frequently translated as "sin offering", too, even though the word offering is not in the Hebrew. Joe
