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

    Dear Patrick1966, The apostate church is full of well-intentioned people but most of them will not be saved in this age. They have a zeal for God but it is not based on knowledge: Rom 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being...

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

    Dear Stumpmaster, Please see my last post above to Patrick1966 on "faith". Joe

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

    Dear Patrick1966, To be saved, Christ created a pathway we must travel to reach our salvation. It involves receiving the Early and Latter Rains from Christ. From these gifts, Christ will reveal His truth to the believer. From this truth, the believer will come out from the Law and will come...

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

    Dear Wrangler, All truth which saves mankind is in scripture. Since "revival" is not in scripture, it is not a step on the pathway to salvation. Joe

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

    Dear Patrick1966, Yes, a "few" have escaped, but only because of the spiritual work of Christ within them. They are the Elect and are His workmanship. Have you considered this one verse parable before: Mat 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven...

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

    Dear Wrangler, No. Only when Christ heals a believer's spiritual blindness will they be able to see "things anew". "Revival" is not something that is taught in scripture. Do you not believe what Paul said would happen after his "departing"? Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing...

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

    Dear Patrick1966, Essentially your answer is correct. Once all mankind is in the Kingdom of Heaven, death and sin will be defeated and Dan 9:24 will be fulfilled: 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...

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

    Dear face2face, Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Since you don't believe that Satan exists or that he is the one who deceives the...

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

    Dear Aunty Jane, I associate with no churches or sects of Christianity. The "church" is no longer Christ's church. It has become apostate and is under the spiritual deceptions of Satan just as scripture warned would happen. As for others who believe as I do, I have met a "few" truly converted...

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

    Dear Behold, Your understanding is not taught in scripture. It comes from the spirit of anti-Christ who has deceived and devoured the church. Since the time of Paul's departing, the church has become apostate. No Elect believer since that time has been spared from Satan's destruction. Acts...

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

    Dear Space_Karen, A dear brother in Christ (Ray Smith) wrote a short paper exposing the lie about "Lucifer". Here is a part of that paper which teaches why the name Lucifer is not even in scripture: WHO OR WHAT IS 'LUCIFER?' This next verse is where theologians believe God stops speaking of...

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

    Dear Patrick1966, Yes, Satan and the fallen angels will be saved just like all mankind will be, otherwise this verse below would not be true: Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I...

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

    Dear Aunty Jane, I have heard this false version of God and how He operates many times over the years. However, there simply is no truth in it and it is contradicted by many scriptures. Your understanding comes from the deceptions of Satan which are used to support the false beliefs of the...

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

    Dear lambano, I agree with your statement. Paul was asked about this same issue of why God holds us accountable in light of the fact that God causes all things to happen. See how Paul responded: Rom 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have...

    Are only 144,000 saved? (Rev 14:1)

    Dear RR144, I certainly agree that Christ is the Savior of the world; meaning that Christ will save 100% of mankind. However, the "144,000" is not a literal number as you seem to imply. It is a spiritual symbol which carries a meaning "not taught by man's wisdom": 1Cor 2:13 These things we...

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

    Dear Patrick1966, Once a believer is fully converted, they will be solely governed by the Holy Spirit and will sin no more. Being fully converted can take many years. The initial part of conversion happens quickly. That portion of judgment destroys the spirit of anti-Christ within the...

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

    Dear Patrick1966, Yes, all mankind will be judged. The Elect will be judged immediately following the Marriage to the Lamb (new birth) and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (consuming the truth of Christ). These events occur after Christ returns (His second coming) to the believer and pours out...

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

    Dear Patrick1966, I have been on many forums over the past 12 years or so and you are probably the first person I've encountered that seems to have a real "love for the truth" and "eyes that can see". I was wondering if you have a conversion testimony that you would be willing to share. When...

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

    Dear Patrick1966, I just wanted to make one other comment on what you said: You said: I say "true". Satan is doing the "salting". Mark 9:49 For everyone will be salted with fire. "Fire" is the spiritual symbol for judgment. Everyone will be salted (seasoned) by judgment. Satan does not do...

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

    Dear Patrick1966, God's "will" rules supreme in this creation. 1Cor 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Nothing happens that God does not "cause" to happen. That certainly...
