    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... One final point: the story of the Tower of Babel is a physical "type" which teaches a spiritual truth. This "type" is fulfilled by the nearly 2,000 different denominations/sects of the apostate church in this world - all of which teach their own versions of...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Christian Soldier, You must understand that shortly after the death of Paul, all the churches became apostate. Paul was very distressed by this revelation and cried over it with his churches for 3 years (Acts 20:29-31). You should not take it lightly. All the churches which exist in the...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplin, Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: John clearly says that the vision is "signified". In other words, it uses...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Christian Soldier, The verses you posted are true but your understanding of them is in error. Firstly, the Greek words commonly translated as everlasting, eternal, eternity or for ever and ever all come from the root word "aion" which means a age of time. All its other forms should be...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, The teachings of the New Covenant are written in Christ's spiritual language. That language uses "spirit" words that carry meanings that are different than what man's wisdom teaches. The spirit word "Lake of Fire" is a symbol and it means Christ's judgment. It is not a...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Earburner, You are bringing Christ down to the level of mankind who does not always accomplish their "will" and desires. Christ is not like mankind and He always accomplishes everything He has said He will accomplish. If Christ is not willing that "any should perish", then no one will...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, This is not true. All mankind will be judged by the Lake of Fire (Christ's judgment). It is a necessary component of conversion. Rev 19:20-21 shows when the Elect are judged in the Lake of Fire and Rev 20:15 shows when the rest of mankind are judged in the Lake of Fire...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Christian Soldier, The Lake of Fire is a spiritual symbol for Christ's judgment. It is not a literal place. Here is the correct translation of Mat 25:41: Matt 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the age enduring (aionios) fire...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, Before I respond, I want to define certain "spirit" words along with their synonymous terms: Old Man: Carnal mind. Called the head and also the "man of sin" after it has been made "worse than the first"). Typed by Adam. Woman: Carnal spiritual nature. Also called the...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, The knowledge that Paul is referring to is the knowledge that Christ performs all the necessary work of saving a person. With this knowledge, the foundational belief of "repentance from dead works" is laid (Heb 6:1). When a person believes that they must add to Christ's work...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, No person can "discover" the knowledge of the truth while they are still in their natural state they have from birth: Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 1Cor 2:14 But the...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, The "heirs" are the Elect and are the only people who Christ is saving in this age. They are the "chosen generation" (1Pet 2:9) who will receive the inheritance/rewards. The rewards include life DURING the ages and the honor of reigning with Christ in the final age over the...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, I forgot to address Heb 10:26 concerning the phrase "if we sin willfully sin after we have received the knowledge of the truth". Here is the verse: Heb 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for...

    The Wheel of Life

    Dear Netchaplain, You said (my comments are in red): I do not choose to believe that God, for no known reason, chooses some to salvation and not others, for any reason! (FALSE, ALL WILL BE SAVED BUT ONLY A FEW WILL BE HEIRS/FIRST FRUITS) The definite supposition is that God cannot be...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Taken, Since your understanding of the truth doesn't come from scripture, there is no point in presenting you additional scripture which shows your beliefs are false - you would just reject them as you have done with the ones I have already presented. Joe

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Taken, You have correctly recited the "another gospel" of the apostate church. That false gospel is based on mixing the works of man with faith. This is the crooked way and the way of the crooked serpent. By mixing the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, you are trying to serve two...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Kabone, You asked: why does he test people? Christ tests people to show them their true condition. He doesn't test them for His own benefit because He already knows what's in their heart beforehand. Psa 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. You...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Earburner, I have never deny it. Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the RAIN, as the latter and former RAIN unto the earth. John 14:17 Even the Spirit of Truth (the Latter Rain); whom...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Dear Behold, Salvation is not "offered" to mankind. That gospel is "works" based and comes from Satan. It is false. Salvation is freely "given" to mankind. This is the true gospel of Christ and it is based solely on the works of Christ. In mankind's created spiritual state, no one can...
