    Is Universalism true?

    Dear Big Boy Johnson, My understanding is in complete agreement with God's Word. Your understanding of salvation is coming from your "works" based belief system. Mankind cannot contribute anything toward their own salvation. Our salvation comes 100% from the work of Christ. Christ alone...

    Is Universalism true?

    Tony, Since I said that Judas's salvation is a 10, his not being saved has to be 0. Joe

    Is Universalism true?

    Dear Big Boy Johnson, Christ is talking about salvation in this present age. Only a "few" are chosen and will enter the narrow gate before they die. The rest of mankind will go to be destroyed (destruction) in accordance with the Law. But before they die, Christ will have mercy upon them and...

    Is Universalism true?

    Dear Tony, First let me say that only the Elect will "inherit" life (during the ages). The rest of mankind will be saved but they will not inherit anything. They will not be an heir. They will suffer that loss but they will be saved, "yet so as by fire". 1Cor 3:13 Every man’s work (all...

    Is Universalism true?

    Dear Tony, Yes, Judas will be saved in the final age with the rest of the lost. No one is too sinful to be saved. Paul considered himself to be the chief of sinners, yet Christ saved him in a moment of time. All mankind sins and the penalty for our sin is death (not eternal torment in...

    Is Universalism true?

    Tony, Consider what this scripture teaches: 1 Tim 2:3-6 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who WILL HAVE all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave...

    Dear Tony, Where is your faith to believe God's Word? Joe

    Is Universalism true?

    Dear Tony, Scripture clearly says that Christ will save all mankind. He has the "will" to do it and He has the power to do it. 1Tim 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there...

    The 1000 year Millennium from the Bible

    Dear Hobie, The statue with the head of gold represents carnal mankind in our "worse than the first" spiritual condition (Mat 12:43-45). This worsened spiritual condition is called a "man of sin". Below, Christ describes when and why the man of sin (statue with the head of gold) is formed...

    The 1000 year Millennium from the Bible

    Dear Hobie, I used to teach a carnal understanding of end-time prophecy many years ago but after I was converted back in 2005, all my understanding of end-time prophecy changed. When you try to understand end-time prophecy carnally, there are many scriptures that you have to ignore or change...

    The 1000 year Millennium from the Bible

    Dear Hobie, The actual history of scripture is absolutely true. The Creation in six literal days, the Garden of Eden, Noah's flood, etc. all actually happened but those events are also "types" which teach spiritual truths that are presently being fulfilled under the New Covenant. For instance...

    The man of lawlessness

    Dear Emily Nghiem, Only God the Father has a "free will". Mankind does not. When a person is converted and saved, it happens solely because Christ decided to make it happen. For those in this present age, they are "predestinated" and "chosen" from the foundation of the world to be saved now...

    The 1000 year Millennium from the Bible

    Dear Hobie, Christ said this: 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. Christ's words are "spirit" words. Spiritual words carry meanings that are different than what man's wisdom teaches: 1Cor...

    The 1000 year Millennium from the Bible

    Dear Hobie, I read your posts and cannot agree with your comments. You are understanding the teachings of Christ in a carnal way (outwardly) rather than in a spiritual way (inwardly). Paul made this same statement to the Corinthian church: 1Cor 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you...

    Does God judge generations, individuals, or both?

    Dear JunChosen, The Doctrine of Hell is a lie from Satan who has deceived and devoured the church. The penalty of sin is death. It is not eternal torment in literal fire for all eternity as the apostate church teaches. Also, the spirit word "fire" means Christ's judgment. It is not literal...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Dear bro.tan, I only want to make a few comments since I have addressed most of your points before. You said: Nevertheless, in judgment each one of us will give account for our own salvation. Therefore, we must not let anyone lead us down the wrong path, but should verify all of our teaching...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Dear bro.tan, You said: When the bible speaks of laws we no longer have to keep, it is speaking of the sacrificial laws and Priesthood laws. That is mostly true. But is circumcision a part of the priesthood laws? No, it is not. Then why does Paul say that we are to no longer physically keep...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Dear bro.tan, You said: That righteousness of the law Paul is talking about here is the Commandments of God. So if you walking in the spirit you walking in the law, and one of those Commandments is to keep the Sabbath day on the seventh day of the week Saturday. Rom 3:21 But now the...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    Dear bro.tan, You said: There no place in the word of God that will tell you that. Christ is not the one who keeps the law through us, you have to keep the law, you.... not Christ. Jesus did his part, now you have to do yours. Only by "walking by the Spirit" can anyone keep the commandments of...

    Born again : = Not under the LAW

    Dear Eternally Grateful, You have not heard the words of Paul when he said: Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after...
