Dear Earburner, I did not miss it. I stand by my comments. No one can call Jesus "Lord" unless they have the Holy Spirit just as scripture states. Why won't you believe God's Word? Where is your faith that you say you have? Joe

Dear BlessedPeace, Why do you think Christ will not "bless" those who are His enemies? Doesn't Christ's grace apply to all mankind? All mankind begins life as enemies of Christ. And because Christ loves His enemies and will only bless them, Christ will convert all His enemies (children of...

Dear Berean, This is why God loves the world who are enemies: Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in...

Dear Earburner, That is quite a job of twisting the clear meanings of those two verses. I am always amazed at how the carnal mind can make scripture conform to what pleases it. Here is the clear teaching of those two verses: Since no man can call Jesus Lord unless they have the Holy Spirit...

Dear Earburner, I agree that mankind does not have an eternal soul. All mankind will perish because all mankind has sinned. Death is the penalty of sin. So what is the solution to this problem that mankind faces? The solution is for mankind to be made into a new creation. The new creation...

Dear Kabone, The Elect of God are the blessed individuals who have been "chosen" by God from the foundation of the world to be saved in this age. They are also called the Heirs/Saints/First Fruits/Bride/Wise Virgins/Wheat. Christ will not save anyone else in this age. However, since Christ...

Dear Earburner, Here is a proper translation of Rom 8:8-9: Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Where do you...

Dear Earburner, You deny these scriptures: Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good...

Dear Kabone, Adam and Eve made a "choice" but the choice they made was caused by God. Prov 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. Prov 20:24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Jer 10:23 I know, Jehovah...

Dear amigo de christo, This scripture is written in the spiritual language of Christ: Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Your understanding of it is carnal and not spiritual. The phrase...

Dear Ronald Nolette, I gave you a "like" on your post. However, I will say that God loves all mankind and because of such, He will save all mankind. Those who have been chosen for salvation in this age are only the first fruits of His harvest. The great harvest of mankind occurs at year's...

Dear TLHKAJ, You said: He calls to everyone. Those who actually respond to Him with faith and repentance .. those are the "chosen." No, Christ does not call everyone in this age. And no, those who respond to Christ with faith and repentance are not necessarily the "chosen". The "chosen"...

Dear amigo de christo, In order to understand the spiritual teachings of the New Covenant, a person must have their spiritual blindness healed. That blindness is only healed when they receive the Latter Rain of the Spirit (Mark 8:15-25). Only then can the Marriage Supper of the Lord occur and...

Dear Eternally Grateful, The Lake of Fire is the symbol for the judgment of Christ which destroys the chaff (carnality & spirit of anti-Christ) within a believer. It is not literal fire nor is it a literal place. Revelation chapter 19 presents the conversion of an Elect believer using the Lake...

Dear amigo de christo, You do not understand conversion. All mankind is condemned to perish because all mankind has sinned. Christ did not come to stop mankind from paying their sin debt of death - He came to make us into a new creation before we pay that debt. After the final age ends, all...

Dear amigo de christo, It is not only the desire of God to save all mankind, it is also is "will". But even if the salvation of all mankind is only a "desire", God will have that desire because He is God and not like mankind who frequently comes up short of their desires. Job 23:13 But he is...

Dear TLHKAJ, And as God's Word proclaims, Christ will cause everyone to believe and confess that Jesus is Lord: Phi 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Thanks for a more detailed reply. I will make a few comments below: You said: 1. receive him. Only those who are given the Early Rain of the Spirit will receive Him. After they have the Spirit, they can no longer reject Him. When a person "receives" Christ, they do...

Dear Behold, Yes, but that does not state how Christ accomplishes the conversion of a sinner. The details of the pathway to salvation are taught frequently in scripture but are given "here a little and there a little" (Isa 28:9-12). To understand the full pathway to salvation, those pieces...

Dear JunChosen, Jer 17:9 is only true of the heart that is within an unconverted person. For a converted believer who has been given both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit, they will have a "new heart" which is governed by a "new spirit" (Holy Spirit): Eze 36:26 A new heart also will...
