Dear Davidpt, The story of the blind man is a type. When Christ takes the blind man by the hand, it represents the man is being "called out" from the world to enter the church. The city represents the world. The first time Christ places spit on the man's eyes represents the man receiving the...

Dear DeepTruth, The main purpose of the story is to teach when an Elect believer's spiritual blindness is healed. The second witness of the story's message is presented by Paul's conversion in Acts chapter 9. The story begins here: Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, take heed, beware...

Dear Behold, Here are a few more verses: Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings...

Dear Behold, Christ had no free will: Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. John 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent...

Dear JBO, You asked: Where does scripture ever say that mankind does not have a free will ability to choose? I quoted some of the verses to you - you simply do not believe them. 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...

Dear Hobie, As I have been presenting, the prophecies are spiritual and are individually fulfilled within the Elect. I have already experienced the Battle of Armageddon in my own life because it occurred when I was converted. At that time, the natural sun (Satan) and the natural moon (carnal...

Dear Behold, Jesus did not have a free will. Only God the Father has a free will. Also, being made in the likeness of God does not mean that mankind has a free will. There are many, many scriptures which deny that mankind has a free will ability. Your beliefs are not coming from what...

Dear Behold, Calvinism is just another false doctrine of the apostate church. It is not what God's Word teaches. God's Word says that the Father sent Jesus Christ to save the world (1John 4:14). Since God never fails and ALWAYS accomplishes His desires, the salvation of the world (every...

Dear JBO, Your beliefs are not coming from God's Word. Where does scripture ever say that mankind has a free will ability to choose? Don't show me scriptures where mankind is told to "choose" because the ability to choose does not mean mankind has a free will. A computer has the ability...

Dear brightframe52, I completely agree with your statement. The Doctrine of Free Will is the foundational belief of "works". Mankind does not have a free will ability. All things in this creation are subservient to the will of God the Father. Joe

Dear JBO, By the start of the 1st century, 100% of the churches the apostles started had become apostate. The apostasy is what produced the religion of orthodox Christianity which mixes MAN'S WORKS WITH FAITH. That is why when an apostate believer is given the Latter Rain of the Spirit and has...

Dear JBO, Your comments above are contradicted by God's Word. Faith is a gift from God. Faith is given to a person when they are freely given the gift of the Early Rain of the Spirit. Without that gift, mankind would never accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior as these verses below describe...

Dear Hobie, Many claim that they can see when they cannot: Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. By the start of the 1st century, 100% of the churches the apostles started had become apostate. The apostasy is what produced the religion of orthodox Christianity...

Dear Hobie, Adam and Eve and everything that is recorded in the OT is actual history. But as Paul said, they are 'types" which teach spiritual truths to the converted Elect (upon whom the ends of the ages have come): 1Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been...

Dear Phil, Christ's words are "spirit" (John 6:63). Spirit words apply within mankind and their meanings are different than what man's wisdom teaches (1Cor 2:13). In 2Pet 3:8, when Peter says the a day is like a thousand years, Peter is not teaching about time. Peter is saying that the spirit...

Dear Phil, Since you don't have scripture to support your statements on time, there is no point in continuing our discussion. Joe

Dear Phil, I don't know of any scripture which teaches and supports the comments you made about "time". Scripture does say that God has "foreknowledge" but His foreknowledge comes from the certainty that He will perform and accomplish all that He has said. Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from...

Dear Phil, A person is in the Kingdom of Heaven when they are converted. At that time (their moment of salvation), Christ gathers the new child of God to dwell with Him in heaven (spiritually speaking). This conversion event first happened to the 120 Jewish Elect on the Day of Pentecost. It...

Dear MA2444, This is probably the scripture you are referencing: 1Cor 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built...

Dear Cassandra, A converted believer will keep the Law because Christ fulfills the Law for them. The sacrificial ordinances were fulfilled at the cross. The Sabbath Day law is fulfilled when a person is converted and they enter into the rest of Christ. The remainder of the law is fulfilled by...
