    Dear Truthnightmare, Your understanding is carnal and not spiritual and you are not rightly dividing the Word. The Old Covenant is outward and physical. The New Covenant is inward and spiritual. Because the New Covenant is spiritual, the events of the New Covenant are likewise spiritual and...

    Dear Truthnightmare, The bear, the lion, and the leopard are "spirit" words (symbols) which represent Satan. Paul said this: 1Cor 2:13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. To...

    Dear Truthnightmare, You asked: 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand. Is this a spiritual event? When you see… And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not...

    Dear Learner, The Latter Rain movement is just another false teaching of the apostate church. It has nothing to do with the Early and Latter Rain teaching in scripture. This verse applies: Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and...

    Dear Truthnightmare, The question that Christ answers about the "end of the age" in Matthew chapter 24 is His teaching about the spiritual events that led up to an Elect believer's moment of conversion. Those events are not carnal events which happen out in the world at the literal end of this...

    Dear Truthnightmare, Yes, when judgment falls on an Elect believer just after they have received the Latter Rain and have been "born again", Christ will remove the "chaff" from within them. Luke 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat...

    Dear Learner, You are denying what God's Word teaches in many, many places. Every believer after being called out from the world will experience the apostate church. There is no avoiding it. All the major and minor doctrines of the churches in the world are false. Some of those doctrines...

    Dear St. Steven, That is right and I stand by those comments. The doctrines of Christ as taught in God's Word are true and that truth will save us. John 17:7 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. John 8:32 And ye...

    Dear St. Steven, You said: You are substituting Christ with man-made doctrine. What you call "truth". How did you come to that conclusion from what I wrote? That is not what I stated at all. The truth of God is hidden from the churches of the world and that is why they are deceived by Satan...

    Dear St. Steven, You said: No one is saved by doctrine. Good or bad. This statement is absolutely untrue. I find it hard to believe that any believer would even make such a claim. "Doctrine" is what a believer accepts as truth. Jesus Christ is truth: John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am...

    Dear Learner, Yes, the LDS is just another apostate church but so are the ones that are more mainstream. Joe

    Dear Learner, 2,000 is an approximation I've seen before. Whether the number is 1,000 or 2,000, it makes little difference. There is no unity in the churches that exist in this world, nor do they display the true character of Christ. This should be very concerning to those who remain in them...

    Dear Learner, I'm not sure why you made this post. Are you arguing that the Mormon church is different and is the true church? Joe

    Kolasis - William Barclay

    Dear Learner, Explain why there is no unity in all those churches? John 17:22 “And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: And explain why being in the "many" is the good place to be? Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. And...

    Dear Ronald Nolette, You said: Well you are part of the church so it would seem you have waxed worse and worse. Have you personally polled the doctrinal statements of 2,000+ churches? Or are you merely vomiting what others have said. No, I used to be a part of the apostate church but after I...

    Dear St. Steven, That is certainly true but when we discussed this subject before, you said that it is up to the individual if they are going be saved now or later and that it is based upon how the person responds to the things that God uses to "draw" them to Christ. Am I remembering wrong...

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... As for my comment about "works", from what I remember about your beliefs from previous threads, I believe you are still mixing in man's work with the spiritual work of Christ that He is now doing under the New Covenant. I'll try to explain below: In this...

    Dear St. SteVen, You said: All of humankind are saved by the finished work of the atonement on our behalf. No, mankind is not saved by the "finished work of the atonement". That is only a half truth. When Christ said "it is finished", He was only referring to His physical work under the Old...

    Dear St. SteVen, What you stated is in direct conflict with the teachings of the New Covenant of Grace through Faith. That is why when people ask me if I am a "universalist", I tell them no. Universalism still mixes "works" with faith as the other denominations do. This is what Christ meant...

    Dear Ronald Nolette, The words John wrote were the words of Christ and not his own. The event that John related in 1John is a "type" which teaches a spiritual truth concerning the apostasy of the church. Both Paul and Peter also wrote about the coming apostasy of the church. Christ talked...
