    Predestination and Freedom Under God

    I already have a relationship with Jesus and I'm getting to know Him more and more every day. But the most comforting truth is that He has established a relationship with me and He knows me. So I don't fear being rejected by Him. I was chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. We...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    My comfort and confidence is not in my ability to convince anyone of anything. That's the responsibility of the Spirit of Christ. I have complete confidence in Him to carry out God's agenda, script and will. I just play my extremely small part and leave the rest to Him. It's pretty simple really.

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    As some believe, if I'm predestined to go to hell then there is no hope for me. Do you agree?

    Predestination and Freedom Under God

    Yes, I agree that as we abide in Jesus and His words abide in us, we find we have been bearing fruit of His Spirit. These words of Jesus found in the bibles are able to set us free from the bondage of the sinful nature within and the pattern of this corrupt world we are subjected to. I guess...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Are you one of these Jack? You certainly talk about Satan and the place he's going to a LOT.

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    I'll accept that you don't know. That's OK. You can't know everything about God hey.

    Predestination and Freedom Under God

    Ok. Yes, what you just said is pretty much what has been taught for decades if not centuries. Just to add to this I'd say that the an emphasis is on the chilling words, "away from Me I never knew you". Mat 25:11&12 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    It was a legitimate question to you Jack. So again. Jack, with your extensive knowledge of hell and the lake of fire. Did God design them in His mind before or after He actually created those He would send there. Angels and humans.

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Your not saying that what Jesus taught, was only taught to His 12 disciples are you?

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Just a quick question. With your extensive knowledge on hell and the lake of fire. Did God design them in His mind before or after He actually created those He would send there. Angels and humans.

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Jesus wasn't refering to the lake of fire where death and hell will be cast. This is the second death. Everyone living being will have been judged and sentenced to the lake of fire by this stage. The rich man's brother would already be in the lake of fire not in their father's home. Then he...

    Predestination and Freedom Under God

    Like the 5 virgins? They were deceived thinking they were known by Jesus but weren't, away from me I NEVER knew you. Obviously they knew the Groom was coming and were waiting for Him. But Jesus had no knowledge or relationship with these 5 virgins. Who do these represent?

    Predestination and Freedom Under God

    Yes there will be.

    Predestination and Freedom Under God

    Maybe not but He makes it impossible for us to not see our sinful state, where that will lead to and highlights a Saviour. And the same God makes it impossible for the elect to be deceived because He has opened our eyes to see every deceiver and their deception. Yes, lest they see with their...

    Predestination and Freedom Under God

    How reassuring that the elect cannot be deceived. We are marked for a special specific purpose hey. To rule and reign with christ as kings and priests. All predetermined in a past age for these amazing roles. I can't wait to receive my appointment in Jesus's 1000 year global government period...

    Working to repent

    Yes, God has a plan and He sticks to it. Who could frustrate His will? What a script He prepared and carried out with David. What about the script He conceived for the life of Joseph. Absolutely amazing. Then to apply this truth to you and I. The sovereign Creator has prepared a unique script...

    Working to repent

    Do you think it's more to do with the next part of our journey than thus current one. This guy next to Jesus was redeemed by Him obviously not for this life. The next age is an exciting one hey. After all those that are redeemed, when all the Gentiles have been saved. For I would not...

    Working to repent

    The Son of God incarnated Himself and died on the cross to redeem people. Here is an answer. Jesus does the redeeming of those His Father chooses. Then Their Spirit does the long work of transformation/sanctification. It has much less to do with us and what we do than what most people try to...

    S Why does God only reveal it it some people but not all?

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    If you mean why persist with my personal relationship with the Spirit of Christ, then I would have to say something like, where else would I go? Only He has access to the deep things of God. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath...
