Dear Meditation, Do you understand that all the Elect must pass through the apostasy before Christ comes to them a "second time" save them? From what you have said, it sounds like you may have passed through it. Also, you did not answer my second question on how Satan kills the saints. Do...

Dear Meditation, Welcome to the forum. This is where Christ taught concerning "how" the apostasy (falling away) of a believer happens: Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my...

Dear amigo de christo, The sin that the woman was committing was the sin of mixing "works with faith". That sin is the only sin that will cause a believer's spiritual death (loss of salvation). When a believer commits this sin, they are committing adultery (fornication) with Satan. This is...

CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... 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...

Dear St.SteVen, You asked: Are you saying that those who have not received the Baptism with the Holy Spirit are not converted? (or not fully converted) ??? Yes, they are not converted. Conversion is what the 120 Jewish Elect experienced on the Day of Pentecost. It is also what Paul "typed"...

Dear St.SteVen, I thought you understood that "fire" is not literal fire but merely represents judgment. I also thought that you rejected the false teaching of "free will". However, I am not so sure now. Many of the things you have said recently makes me think that you have a works based...

Dear St.SteVen, You said: The law? The old covenant law? All mankind has sinned and because of such, they come under the Old Covenant of Law. 1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Paul said this: Gal 5:2 Behold, I Paul say...

Dear St.SteVen, You asked: Doesn't this make our loving God a cosmic tyrant? No, it makes Him our God. This verse applies: Dan 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the...

Dear St.SteVen, You asked: How would you feel if you found out that you were on the wrong side of the predestination fence when it was too late to do anything about it? I would be in torment and would have weeping and gnashing of teeth just as scripture teaches. Also, mankind has no ability...

Dear St.SteVen, You said: Separating the Elect from judgment creates an issue... The Elect are not separated from judgment. To be converted, everyone must be baptized by fire. The Elect will experience this baptism. However, the Elect's judgment is not done in wrath. 1Thes 5:9 For God did...

Dear Patrick1966, I'm just being picky I guess. I voted "other" because number three was not exactly right. Number three says "they are rehabilitated in the LOF and then go to Heaven". As I explained in my post above, the LOF is punitive and destructive. Mankind cannot be rehabilitated. We...

Dear St.SteVen, MatthewG asked you: Therefore does the Lake of Fire - not hold something of value that is light and the more closer you come to the light does it not hurt? No, the Lake of Fire is only punitive and destructive. It contains only darkness. The Day of the Lord presented in the...

Dear MatthewG, The events of the OT are "types" which teach spiritual truths. 1Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our (the Elect) admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. The story of Jacob and Esau teaches a "type" that is...

Dear MatthewG, Esau was born first and is a "type" for the Old Man. The Old Man represents carnal mankind who dwells upon the earth. He is carnally minded and sinful. His father is Satan (the natural sun) and his mother is the bondwoman (the natural moon). After a believer receives the Early...

Dear Patrick1966, I want to point out a truth that you are not presently 'seeing" about the church. The only sin that leads to a called out believer's spiritual death is the sin of mixing their own "works" with faith. When this happens (not "if"), a called out believer will no longer be...

Dear GISMYS_7, Your understanding of God's Word is carnal and not spiritual (1Cor 3:1-2). The things that Christ will weed out of His kingdom are the impurities (carnality) which exist within a person. When Christ's work is finished, all that will remain is the sinless child of God. Don't...

Dear St.SteVen, During my twenties, I took it upon myself to try and evangelize my non-Christian friends by mailing them a box of books about Christianity. I remember one of my favorite books was "More than a Carpenter". I enclosed a letter in the box which encouraged them to read the books...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You asked: I do have one silly question maybe you can help with. One I’ve asked but never got an answer to. Why for your infirmities “drink no longer water but take a little wine for your stomachs sake”? Any question which is a serious quest for knowledge is not a silly...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: I loved most of your post there. I love the way you see. You inspire me, comfort, and help strengthen by sharing because I don’t think you are insane or making the word fit your theology talking foolishly. To me you have brought clarity to the Word. there are some...

Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: One last thing your testimony made me think of. you mentioned prophecies, tongues and knowledge...failing, ceasing, vanishing. I have never once considered what is the difference in: the Gift of God and the Fruit of God? Are they the same or is the gift(promise)...
