Dear waiting on him, Yes, that is a good observation about scripture only saying that the man was cast out. But since Adam and Eve are "one flesh", we can know that Eve went with Adam. Adam is the head and Eve is the spiritual nature (marred spirit). Joe

Dear waiting on him, Gal 1:17-18 doesn't mention any specific amount of time that Paul spent in Arabia. It says that after he returned from Arabia, he spent three years in Damascus. As for what Paul did in Arabia for the unspecified time he spent there, the scripture doesn't say. But if we...

Dear Waiting on him, Below is where Paul applies the birthing analogy to himself: Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh...

Dear Covenantee, Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined...

Dear Marty fox, The New Covenant began with Christ's death and resurrection and not when the physical temple was destroyed. Why do you believe the New Covenant began with the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D.? In the verse below, Daniel teaches when the Old Covenant was fulfilled and...

Dear Marty fox, The primary message of the book of Revelation is the unveiling of Christ within His Elect. In other words, it teaches the pathway to salvation that each of the Elect will travel. This is the same message that all end-time prophecy teaches (includes Matthew chapter 24). The only...

Dear Marty fox, To begin, I want to point out that scripture is written in the spiritual language of Christ. In that language, Christ uses "spirit" words (John 6:63) which have meanings that are different from what man's wisdom teaches (1Cor 2:13). Christ then uses His "spirit" words (symbols)...

Dear VictoryinJesus, I don't believe I have ever witnessed the "real thing" either as scripture defines "tongues". I believe that the true gift of tongues is very rare nowadays because the 1st century church is now apostate. And because the church is now apostate, the Holy Spirit is mostly...

Dear VictoryinJesus, As a presented earlier, the tongues which is for the edification of the church and is a sign for unbelievers is another language that mankind already speaks (French, Italian, etc.) This is the type of tongues that should be spoken out loud in the churches, but only if there...

Dear VictoryinJesus, I wanted to explain about "tongues" but I forgot to do it in my first post. Here is what my wife experienced: 1Cor 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will...

Conversion Testimony of Joe & Julie Edwards In the year 2000, I relocated to Fayetteville, Arkansas with my wife and three sons. We visited many churches during those first years there but we never could find any that seemed to have a real love for the Lord. After our own personal study of the...

Dear VictoryinJesus, I will post my conversion experience in my next post. However, if you go to my website, in the upper right-hand corner, there is a link to it, as well. You said: about six years ago things happened and for the first time I was truly interested in God. But also the first...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You touched on a subject that explains why I do what I do on the forums. This verse applies and explains the ministry that I believe Christ has given me to do: James 5:17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did...

Dear VictoryinJesus, Thanks for your response - it was well written and direct with your points. I will say that writing is not my strongest point either. I have been writing papers and forum posts for over 15 years now and because of such, my skills have improved - but my early writings left...

Dear VictoryinJesus, I had my wife read my response and she didn't think my answer was very clear in examples of the two parables. I will try to do better here: A fallen away believer is renewed because Christ "comes again" and gives the fallen away believer the Latter Rain. With the Latter...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... Now back to what Paul said in Heb 6:1-8 about it being impossible to renew a fallen away believer. This sounds like if a believer falls away, they cannot ever be saved. However, this is not what Paul is actually saying. All Paul is saying is that when a...

Dear VictoryinJesus, This is a very good question and the answer lies at the very foundation of the differences between the Old Covenant of Law and the New Covenant of Grace through Faith. I can't stress the importance of this difference enough. My answer may be a little long. The Old...

Dear VictoryinJesus, This is a fine verse but its message is heavily concealed by Christ's spiritual language. Here is what I "see": Silver is a "spirit" word (John 6:63) which means redemption/atonement. The phrase "furnace of earth" represents judgment upon mankind's carnality (earth)...

Dear VictoryinJesus, The "connections" are necessary and must be made because God's Word really does teach its truth "here a little and there a little". Then all the pieces must be assembled as this scripture says this: Psa 119:160 The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous...

Dear VictoryinJesus, A believer is made "perfect" when Christ "comes again" to them and gives them the Latter Rain. This is when they will be converted and have "eyes that can see". Also, God's Word uses "spirit" words which have meanings that are different than what man's wisdom teaches...
