Dear VictoryinJesus, You asked: Yet Christ + His Body = a Life Giving Spirit? To me that says “A Life Giving Spirit” because wherever His Spirit is there is, the adding of Life. Which Life He gives to His body. Meaning Christ giving unto His body is(=) a Life giving Spirit. Point being our added...

Dear Titus, I have never said that we are saved by faith alone. What I have said is that mankind has no works to perform to be saved. All the works that are performed are the works of Christ. When mankind believes that they must contribute their own works to be saved, they are mixing their...

Dear VictoryinJesus, Now, to answer your question more directly; the woman caught in adultery is a symbol for the Elect (both men and women) who will become the Bride of Christ. The man she commits adultery with is Satan. Joe

Dear VictoryinJesus, Here is a verse by verse teaching of the story: John 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law...

Dear VictoryinJesus, My post will be a little long because there is some background information that is necessary to be able to understand the message that Christ is teaching in the story. The story of the woman caught in adultery is a "type" which teaches a spiritual message. It is not a...

Dear GracePeace, I am never rude but the truth of God's Word does offend apostate believers. I presented only a few of the places in the NT where the Early and Latter Rain concept is taught. You just have no ability to "see" and accept them. This is my last post. Joe

Dear GracePeace, If you had bothered to read my posts, you would see where I presented where James teaches a whole chapter on the Early and Latter Rain subject. Christ teaches that concept frequently in His teachings, too, but that truth is purposely concealed by His spiritual language. Mark...

Dear GracePeace, Without an understanding of the Early and Latter Rain, you cannot understand how works vs. faith applies within the church. You are shutting down any opportunity to understand this truth. Joe

Dear GracePeace, It is highly relevant. You just can't see it. As I said, you must rightly divide the Word by believers who have only received the Early Rain and believers who have received both the Early And Latter Rains. An Early Rain believer walks by the flesh (works) and a converted...

Dear GracePeace, Did you read Mark 8:21-25? Can you understand it? Joe

Dear GracePeace, Until Christ's judgment is complete and a believer is fully converted, they will not always walk by the Spirit. Joe

Dear GracePeace, Scripture is only difficult (actually impossible) to understand when a believer has only received the Early Rain of the Spirit. After Christ gives a believer the Latter Rain, their spiritual blindness will be healed. Only after it is healed will the believer understand...

Dear GracePeace, No, works will not save you on the Day of Judgment. Christ is the Savior and it is He who saves us. Salvation comes to a person solely by the works of Christ. After Christ gives a person both the Early and Latter Rains, judgment will fall to convert them. After they are...

Dear GracePeace, The verses that you mentioned can only be rightly understood when we divide them by believers who have only received the Early Rain of the Spirit and by believers who have received both the Early and Latter Rains of the Spirit and are converted. When Christ first comes to an...

Dear GracePeace, Grace vs. Works. Here is what God's Word teaches: When a believer is converted, they will enter into the rest of Christ. They will no longer have to observe a day of rest each week as the Old Covenant of Law commands. The converted believer will now rest in Christ every day...

Dear Mr. Bowman, Yes, things are bad in the world but those bad times have ebbed and flowed since mankind has been on the earth. As one of the posters on this thread said: "there is nothing new under the sun". However, this age will come to an end someday but whether or not the time is near...

Dear Titus, You said: Fact: God has given a commandment that must be obeyed/worked to be saved, 1John 3:23-24, - and this is Gods commandment that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ... You admitted this work is involved in salvation. You cannot deny that we must believe in...

Dear Titus, You said: So you have just admitted that we must work a commandment of God to be saved, 1John 3:23-24. Which disproves your false gospel of salvation apart from works. You have disproven your gospel for me. I thank you for your honesty Sir. I have never said anything of the sort...

Dear Titus, God holds unbelievers accountable because it suits His purposes. God will run His creation as He see fit to run it. He is the Creator and has that right. Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to...

Dear Titus, you asked: Answer my question, Can you be saved by not obeying Gods commandment to believe in Jesus Christ? 1John 3:23-24 Only after Christ gives a person the Early and Latter Rains and converts them into a child of God can they keep the commandments of Christ. They can keep them at...
