Dear quietthinker, Yes, we need to "rightly divide the Word". We divide it by the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. The Old Covenant is physical and outward and is based upon the works of man. The New Covenant is spiritual and inward and is based upon the works of Christ. In the verses...

Dear Jay Ross, I continue because I was converted in 2005 and was given "eyes that can see". Do you believe that all the churches of the world are apostate? Shortly after Paul's death, the spirit of anti-Christ came into the church and did not spare any of the sheep. Since that time, all...

Dear Jay Ross, That is true. When a believer is spiritually blind, Satan can and does easily them. And when a person is deceived, they cannot know it. That is the nature of deception. Joe

Dear quietthinker, At first, you are on the right track when you said that the promises to Abraham are for his spiritual seed. The flesh counts for nothing. But then you revert back to a carnal understanding of God's Word by saying that the inheritance which the spiritual seed will receive is...

Dear F2F, You are relying on one verse that you greatly misunderstand and at the same time, you are ignoring all the many verses of scripture which contradict your beliefs. Judas is a "type" for a believer who has the spirit of anti-Christ within him. When this happens, the believer falls away...

Dear F2F, Before the ages come to an end, Christ will pour out His love and mercy upon all mankind - this includes Judas. Your judgment of Judas is no better than the judgment displayed by the Pharisees. When Christ judges the lost in the final age, He will not forget His love and mercy: Mat...

Dear BigBoyJohnson, You need to read my response to Face2Face immediately above your post. What I said applies to you, too. The verses you quoted are mostly talking about the salvation of the Elect in this age. You are completely missing the harvest that comes at the end of the year. Judas...

Dear F2F, Your overall understanding is deeply flawed. The verse you quoted is only talking about the Gentile Elect who are being saved in this age. Most of the teachings of scripture only apply to the early harvest of the Elect. But there is still enough scripture which teaches on the harvest...

Dear F2F, After being judged, Cain and the others will be redeemed: Isa 1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. Psa 33:5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. Your judgment is like mankind's judgment which...

Dear F2F, You said: As was Cain, Lamech, and Ishmael. Yes, and Esau, too. As for Judas, we need to remember that he will "love much" because he will be "forgiven much" someday. This verse below is talking about Jacob and Esau: Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having...

Dear F2F, After doing some more study, the Lord showed me the truth that is taught by Judas' death. Here is what the Lord showed me: Judas is a type for a man of sin. The man of sin is a fallen away believer who has the indwelling of the spirit of anti-Christ along with the indwelling of...

Dear face2face, The detail of Judas' bowels spilling out is telling us that Judas was distressed to such a degree that he couldn't live with himself. And since Judas' head was Satan, Judas fell on his head to show that the ways of Satan are death. Again, the way Judas died has nothing to...

Dear MatthewG, No one can have faith in Christ or worship God in Spirit and in Truth until Christ comes to them and gives them the Holy Spirit. With the Early Rain of the Spirit, a new believer is given a measure of faith but will remain carnally minded and spiritually blind. With the Latter...

Dear face2face, Here is what "bowels" means: Jer 14:9 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. The term "bowels" represents what is in the heart...

Dear Hobie, John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and they are life. Paul explained further by saying that spiritual words have meanings that are different than what man's wisdom teaches: 1Cor 2:13 These...

Dear face2face, Acts 1:18 has nothing to do with whether or not Judas will ever be saved. Judas' bowels being spilled out is a symbol for his great distress after He found out what he had done to Christ. This is a "type" for what will happen to believers in the apostate church. Judas is a...

Dear face2face, You are forgetting justice, mercy and faith in your judgement of Judas. Christ will not: Mat 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith...

Dear ScottA, The reason I asked was to see if you really had any ability to understand scripture. Your response to Luke 22:35-38 doesn't make any sense. You should be trying to answer these questions about what Christ said: 1). What did it mean when Christ first sent out the Apostles...

Dear ScottA, You say that your understanding comes from "all scripture" but yet you won't produce even one verse that supports anything that you have said. To prove anything to be true, the law says that you must have two or three witnesses (Deu 19:15). Here is where Christ teaches this truth...

Dear Pierac, I completely agree with your post. I also agree that Paul is the one who teaches what happens at the end of the final age and not the Book of Revelation. The book of Revelation is a teaching (through spiritual symbols) on the pathway to salvation that the Elect will travel. The...
