    Was Sodom and Gomorrah a foretelling of Isreals demise?

    Dear MatthewG, The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a "type" for the judgment of the Elect in this age. The story of Noah is also a "type" for the judgment of the Elect. Do you understand what their "types" teach? Joe

    What does God consider iniquity?

    Dear Hobie, You asked: The phrase in KJV "ye that work iniquity," literally means "you who break the law." So what does that mean for a Christian? When a believer is converted, they are no longer under the Law. And if they are no longer under the Law, they cannot break the Law and be lawless...

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Dear Pierac, I read your post and I found it scripturally accurate. I also strongly agree with your comments on Christ being dead for three days. Unlike what most Christians believe, Christ actually did "die" for the sins of the world. Here is what I understand from scripture about life...

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Dear rwb, You said: Judging those who profess Christ in this life to know if they are of THE faith is not the same as the final Judgment that shall come at the GWTJ. You are partially right - the judgment in the final age will be different BUT the outcome will be the same. Let me explain...

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Dear rwb, You said: None are judged through the lake of fire until they are called before God at the Great White Throne Judgment! Not true. All mankind is judged by fire in the Lake of Fire. Revelation chapter 19 shows the judgment of the Elect in the Lake of Fire. In that chapter, the Elect...

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Dear rwb, You said: Christ came not to judge the world but to save it! Yes, that is true. And this purpose took Christ to the cross. But after His resurrection from the grave, the New Covenant began and in that covenant, Christ will start judging mankind to convert us. John 5:22 For...

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Dear rwb, You said: The desired result of the lake of fire is the "second death." Otherwise, it would not be written of the lake of fire "This is the second death." It is appointed to man to die but "once", after this the judgment. From the fall all mankind is destined to physically die. The...

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Dear amigo de christo, You have no understanding of what I presented in my post. The only pathway to salvation comes to mankind SOLELY by the work of Christ. Mankind cannot save themselves and are completely reliant upon Christ for their salvation. You should read my post again. Joe

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

    Dear rwb, The Lake of Fire is a symbol which represents the judgment of Christ. It is not literal fire nor is it eternal. Christ's judgment lasts only as long as it takes for Him to achieve His desired results. Here is why Christ judges mankind: Isa 1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment...

    What is "Self Righteousness". ?????

    Dear Behold, I do not follow or teach Calvinism. It is just another false teaching of the apostate church. I have tried to help you understand the true Gospel of Christ but you will have no part of it. I can do nothing more - Christ is the only one who can heal the blind. I will accept the...

    What is "Self Righteousness". ?????

    Dear Behold, It sounds like you are saying that God's foreknowledge comes from Him being a fortune teller rather than Him making all things to happen just as He desires. Here is where scripture says God's foreknowledge comes from: Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from...

    What is "Self Righteousness". ?????

    Dear Behold, I have had discussions with you before. Like I said in my first few lines of my post, most do not understand what it means to be self-righteous. Self-righteousness comes from a belief in the Doctrines of Free Will and Hell. Under those doctrines, a person believes that they...

    What is "Self Righteousness". ?????

    Dear Behold, I know that you believe in "works" but maybe my posts can help others reject your false teaching. Joe

    What is "Self Righteousness". ?????

    CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST... Satan will then quickly come to the new chosen believer and masquerade as Christ (an angel of light) to them. Satan will then teach the chosen believer "another gospel" which teaches them that their salvation was accomplished by a mixture of works and faith. It...

    What is "Self Righteousness". ?????

    Dear Behold, Like most are saying, self-righteousness is caused by anything that a person does which they believe is necessary for their salvation. However, most do not understand what that really means. I'll explain below. The Old Covenant is solely based upon man's works. In contrast...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST... Mat 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Dear jamesalbright, The Parable on the Ten Virgins teaches the pathway to salvation using the Marriage analogy. It teaches exactly what I have been presenting to you in my other posts. Here is its meaning: Mat 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto TEN virgins, which took...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Dear jamesdalbright, Like I have been saying, your understanding of the verses is "carnal". When a believer understands scripture carnally, they will do as this verse below warns against: Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Dear jamesdalbright, You said: According to Mal 4:5-6 Elijah is one of the two witnesses who will be sent back before the great and terrible day of the Lord. From Rev 11 we know that the two witnesses will appear during the great tribulation period. From this we can conclude that the day of the...

    THE DAY OF THE LORD

    Dear jamesdalbright, You said: This verse is saying the day of the Lord comes after the period of tribulation and that during the period of great tribulation there will be signs and wonders and people who will believe and be saved. The period of tribulation begins when the Antichrist captures...
