Dear ElieG12, The Latter Rain is taught in many, many places of scriptures. You just have to have "eyes that can see" to understand those teachings. Also, I am not a "programmed machine". I have no idea what you are talking about by calling me that. Also, anything I post on this forum...

Dear ElieG12, If you consider other's understanding false, why do you think yours is not? I used to believe much as orthodox Christianity believes. However, everything changed for me on Oct 8th, 2005. On that day, Christ came a second time to me and poured out the Latter Rain. When a...

Dear ElieG12, Parousia is a term for the Second Coming of Christ which includes the other end-time events as is commonly taught. However, as I said, what is commonly taught is false. The Second Coming of Christ "is, was and will be" happening within all the Elect of this age. You cannot see...

Dear ElieG12, You said: However, according to the texts that speak of the first resurrection, it only occurs during the PAROUSIA of Christ, and not before (1 Cor. 15:23; 1 Thess. 4:15,16; 2 Thess. 2:1). The "parousia" is not taught in scripture. All the end-time events as commonly taught will...

Dear ElieG12, The First Resurrection is the spiritual symbol which represents "conversion". The First Resurrection occurs when an Elect believer is "born again" and has been judged. This is what this scripture below is teaching: Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but...

Dear Miz KJV Only, Christ's words are "spirit" (John 6:63) and they carry meanings which are different than what man's wisdom teaches (1Cor 2:13). This is certainly true with what Christ said in Mat 5:16-20. When Christ said that "For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot...

Dear Davy, Your beliefs are not coming from scripture. Christ clearly says that His words are "spirit" and scripture is a record of His words. Isa 28:9-12 also says that Christ speaks in "another language". But when Christ came, didn't He speak in Hebrew? Yes, of course, He did. But...

Dear Davey, No, you don't understand the difference between spiritual and carnal. I'll explain why below. You said: So don't try to tell me I don't understand the difference between carnal thinking and spiritual thinking which deals with HEAVENLY things. You need to re-read my post to you...

Dear Davy, You (like all called out believers) are spiritually blind. It is unavoidable. Paul dealt with this same issue with the churches he started; 1Cor 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. God's Word is...

Dear Patrick1966, Consider this verse: Ecc 6:5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other. 6 Yea, though he live twice a thousand years, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? This verse is speaking about carnal mankind. Mankind...

Dear quietthinker, Your understanding of scripture is carnal and not spiritual. 1Cor 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it...

Dear quietthinker, The promises are not made to physical Israel or to earthly Jerusalem. They were made to spiritual Israel and the New Jerusalem which is holy. Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of...

Dear quietthinker, I just edited my earlier post to make it clear that I do not agree with the chart's explanation of the last 3 1/2 years. As for "your people", it is referring to the spiritual descendants of Abraham (by faith, Daniel was one of the faithful). Only the spiritual descendants...

Dear quietthinker, Yes, I agree with your chart except for how it explains the last 3 1/2 years of the prophecy. That part is not correct. Not many people understand the last week of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy as referring to Christ. Christ is the one who confirms the covenant and that...

Dear quietthinker, Just a quick question; why do you believe that Jesus' earthly ministry lasted for 3 1/2 years? Do you have any scripture? I'm not asking you because I disagree with you. I am certain His ministry lasted 3 1/2 years, but I know of only one scripture (Dan 9:27) which...

Dear Patrick1966, You said: I think "coming" to God is a natural response of everyone once God has called them so, yes, those who God has called willingly go to him sort of like when a fish is placed in water it automatically begins swimming. You are on the right track with this statement. But...

Dear Patrick, Thank you for the kind comment. I do appreciate it. Joe

Dear Patrick1966, Yes! God uses evil for His good purposes. Scripture teaches that God created evil and that He uses it to humble us. Isa 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising...

Dear St. SteVen, You asked: Questions: 1) Can we choose to come to God unless he first calls us? No. Mankind was created spiritually "marred" and subject to vanity (sin): Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel...

Dear MatthewG: The "types" are for the Elect: 1Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. Paul is referring to the Old Testament "fathers". All the strange events which happened to them are...
