Dear ByGraceThroughFaith, The "repentance" that Christ and John the Baptist called for was a repentance from "works". If a believer repents from "works", they are saying that they no longer believe that they can do anything to earn their salvation. They will then fully trust Christ by faith...

You asked: How can God's justice be fulfilled in UR if everyone is saved in the end? God's justice is fulfilled by the destruction of mankind. Since all mankind has sinned, all mankind must die: Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is...

Dear dev553344, Why would you want to delete your thread? It is a very important subject that needs discussing and it applies to everyone who comes to Christ. Joe

Dear dev553344, You said: I must exhort everyone away from Blasphemy. The apostasy of the church (the falling away) occurred shortly after Paul's death, not sparing the flock. The apostasy was caused by the coming of the spirit of anti-Christ whose deceptions were so powerful, that it could...

Dear Patrick1966, Yes, not only is it difficult to break someone free of their indoctrination they received in the apostate church, it is impossible for us to do it. Only Christ has the ability to do it. However, Christ does use believer's like us to teach them the truth after He has given...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Your understanding of God's Word is based upon your "works" based belief system. You believe that man has something within themselves that can allow them to have faith in Christ. But there is nothing. We must be given our faith from Christ. Until you accept that...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: God does not pick and chose. that would make him a respecter of persons. And he would not be considered the god of love if he did this. Scripture does not agree with you: Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make...

Dear Eternally Grateful, You said: Which is exactly what I said, God did not cause them not to be saved, They caused themself to disbelieve in the foolish darkened heart.. God did not cause this, they did God made us in such a way that we cannot believe in Christ UNTIL Christ comes to us and...

Dear Eternally Grateful, Here is the scripture: Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his...

Dear MatthewG, I sent a private message to you. Joe

Dear MatthewG, You are understanding the parable carnally and not spiritually. It wasn't pride that the younger son felt which caused Him to stay in the field "working" and eating the food of the swine (carnal believers). It was his spiritual blindness and his lack of faith. When the younger...

Dear MatthewG, Yes, when the Master's Word is understood carnally, it can mean many different things. The 2,000 different denominations/sects of the apostate church are proof of that. Prov 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Joe

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST... 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his...

Dear Patrick1966, The parable of the Prodigal Son is not about pride in the older brother. Here is what the parable teaches: The FATHER represents Christ. The ELDER SON represents the “many” who have been called out from the world but have not been chosen for salvation in this present age...

Dear Patrick1966, It isn't that Christ doesn't "permit" them to come to Him, its that Christ doesn't cause them to come to Him. Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 1Cor 2:14 But the natural...

Dear Jack, I showed you the process of how to understand spiritual symbols as explained by Paul. Paul says that to understand "spirit" words, you must compare spiritual things (words) with spiritual. Then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the meaning can be discerned. The truth of...

Dear Jack, You asked: Where does the Bible say it's 'spiritual language'? 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 uses His "spirit" words in His "another language": Isa 28:9 Whom shall...

Dear Jack, You said: And your proof is? Since you can't see that the Seven Headed Beast is an apostate believer and that the second beast, who gives him his power, is the spirit of anti-Christ, there is nothing I could point out to you that you would consider proof. You said: Your proof is...

Dear Jack, You asked: So you would accept a chip implant in your right hand? No. I would not accept a chip implant because I don't get involved in the affairs of this world nor would I want to do anything like that to my body. My decision, though, has nothing to do with the "mark of the...

Dear Jack, Your understanding and application of the prophecy is carnal. The events of the prophecy apply "spiritually" to each of the Elect. The verses you quoted (Rev 20:9-10) are teaching about the time of testing that each newly converted Elect believer must pass. Christ "typed" this...
