    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    Dear Gottservant, There is a difference between "works of the Law" and "works of faith". The works of faith which James mentions happen because a person is saved. They are the outward evidence of their salvation. However, these "works" are still the works of Christ and not our own. Isa 26:12...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    Dear Gottservant, You said: When we surrender the fruit of the choice, back to Christ, He receives both the choice and the fruit that was based on the ownership of it. Prov 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. Prov 20:24 Man's goings are of...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Patrick1966, I do not know of any such videos or articles. I have written a great deal about the Early and Latter Rains on my website though. Please read my paper entitled "A. The Great Mystery of the Church". It has a large section which is devoted to teaching the Early and Latter Rain...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Patrick1966, The whole loaf of bread the apostate church teaches is leavened. None of their doctrines are true. Mat 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear RLT63, Your link describes just another false teaching of the apostate church. It is not what I teach or what scripture teaches. Joe

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear RLT63, Here is what scripture says: John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Patrick1966, The churches of the world are apostate - all of them. It makes no difference by what name they call themselves. However, the apostate church does contain unconverted Elect believers. When the time is right for each of them, Christ will come to them and pull them out. He...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Earburner, You said: I perceive that by your words: "the fallen away Gentile Elect" aka "the fallen away believers:", you are meaning the Protestant religions. Correct me if I am wrong. The "church" means the "called out ones" and is anyone who has received the Early Rain. When called out...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Earburner, What you are not seeing is that Satan is masquerading as Christ in the church the Apostles started. 2Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light (Christ). 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Earburner, I recommend that you read my post above to RLT63. Joe

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear RLT63, The writer of your article doesn't understand what free will is. To support free will, he immediately uses a verse which says that mankind can make "choices". The ability to make choices is NOT the issue as to whether or not mankind has a free will. Certainly, mankind can make...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear RLT63, No, Jesus did not have a free will. He (like mankind) has a "will" but it is always subordinate to the Father's "will". John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Earburner, Very interesting. Can you share a little more of your experience? Do you still attend a church? Do you believe in "free will"? Do you believe that Christ will save all mankind? Here is a brief summary of the steps which Christ will cause His Elect to travel to their...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Earburner, You said: I do not perceive God creating evil directly, but rather indirectly, and that being due to our autonomous free will. Because, it is scripturally understood, that the angels have free will, and so does mankind, since the Garden at the beginning of our creation. You are...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear Earburner, It is good to hear that you do not believe the "New Earth" is a new physical earth. The Old Earth is mankind's "marred" spiritual nature which turned carnal. The New Earth is the new spiritual nature which the Holy Spirit gives us. The Old Heaven is the carnal mind and the...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Dear RLT63, Only when God puts it in your heart to repent, will you repent. Your attitude shows your lack of trusting God. God knows what He is doing within the hearts and minds of mankind. One of the primary lessons God wants us to learn in this life is to trust Him for all things and that...

    "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet"

    Dear Patrick1966, Yes, you are missing the most important truth in scripture as it relates to our salvation. Trying to follow the Law cannot save a person. The Law was given to the Nation of Israel to prove this point. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ...

    "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet"

    Dear Patrick1966, Since you say you don't have a works based belief system, then where is your disagreement with me? It was my understanding from your post that you believe "good intentions" will save some in the apostate church regardless of whether or not they repent of their works (the...

    Dear Stumpmaster, It was my hope you would learn from it. Joe

    "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet"

    Dear Truth7t7, You are wrong according to God's Word. Please read my post above to Patrick1966. It teaches the pathway to Salvation. Also, pentecostialism does not teach this pathway. They are spiritually blind and apostate like all the other churches in the world. Joe
