    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear marks, What you stated above is very confusing - and from what I can tell, it has very little scriptural support. Scripture says that the truth of God is purposely concealed from this world and from believers (Early Rain only) who have not been converted. Even for converted believers...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear Marks, Here is the way that a person becomes to a "perfect man" and has a true knowledge of the truth of God: Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, it is because we...

    The Only Way We Will Ever Agree

    Dear Spyder, The one lamb that "follows a different trail" is representative of the Elect. The 99 sheep represent the "many" who are called but are not chosen for salvation in this age. They will not be a "first fruit" of Christ's harvest of mankind. Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, Yes, but don't forget about what Paul said: 2Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Joe

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Hobie, The "right hand" is a spiritual symbol for "works". Exo 15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. If a believer is following a gospel which mixes their own works with the works of Christ, they should cut off...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, Here is what the spiritual symbol "1000 years" represents: 2Pet 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. In 2nd Peter chapter 3, Peter is teaching about Christ's judgment and how that...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Jay Ross, What I have presented is the Gospel of Christ which is based solely on faith and the works of Christ. What you have been presenting is Satan's "another gospel" which mixes the works of man with faith. Your understanding of God's Word is filtered through your "works" based belief...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Jay Ross, Whether you realize it or not, you were addressing how a person receives salvation. My response was based on the underlined portions of your comments below: From Genesis 12:3 we know that only those who have embedded themselves in God's fertile soil... Those who have chosen to...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Jay Ross, Your understanding of how a person is saved is based upon the false belief that mankind has a free will ability to choose or reject Christ. This understanding comes from Satan's false gospel which mixes "works" (Old Covenant) with faith in Christ (New Covenant). When a believer...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, Even Satan and the fallen angels will someday experience the judgment of Christ. Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword (represents God's Word) shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, As I said earlier, our reign with Christ is one of service and its purpose is one of gathering in the full harvest of mankind into the Kingdom of Heaven. Our reign will not be like the reign of the kings on this earth. The passion for my service comes from my love for the...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, You said: And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” The purpose for the Elect (the First Fruits of the harvest) is to reign (serve, Luke 22:24-27) with Christ in the final age and assist Him in bringing in the remaining harvest of mankind...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear 12question, Thanks for your comments. You said: Oh to experience completeness, when Christ is fully formed in us. It sounds like you are not far away. As you inferred, this creation is for God's purpose of creating new offspring (children of God). God will complete all things just...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Hobie, Christ's work of saving 100% of mankind is not simple - if it were, you would understand the plan that Christ established to accomplish the mission that His Father sent Him to accomplish: 1John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the...

    Soul Winning

    Dear Behold, Your statements above are unscriptural and are based on the works of man (Old Covenant) rather than the works of Christ (New Covenant). The gospel you are presenting is Satan's "another gospel" which all apostate churches follow and teach. Here is what a person is like who does...

    Envisioning Heaven: No more donuts or football?

    Dear Adrift, Here is my understanding: A person's mind is not their brain. Their brain is flesh and contains their mind. The mind is a component of the spirit but it needs a body to have consciousness. That is the reason why the bodily resurrection is so important, because without it, a...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Dear Frosty, Here are two key scriptures concerning the Early and Latter Rains: James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receives the EARLY and LATTER RAIN. 8 Be...

    Envisioning Heaven: No more donuts or football?

    Dear Adrift, Heaven is not a place or a location. Believing that heaven is a location is a false understanding that comes from the carnal mind. The spiritual symbol "heaven" usually represents a person's spiritual state of being. It can also represent a person's mind. And in a physical...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Dear DJT_47, Understanding God's Word is a little more complicated than you believe. I will try to give you a better foundation of the truth below. To begin, a person must understand that the Old Covenant of Law is physical & outward and is based on the works of man. It was given to carnal...

    Understanding Matthew 5:27-8

    Dear DJT_47, The scripture I quoted prove that God's Word is purposely concealed from everyone except the Elect who are given "eyes that can see" upon their conversion. Whoever told you that God's Word is "simple and understandable" is mistaken and did not come to that understanding from...
