    Believe Jesus

    Life with God and His words found in the pages of the bibles is great too! Feel free to quote me on this too. But I have my doubts that you will as this additional fact may not fit your narrative and what you believe.

    Believe Jesus

    Humans pull the writings of one person way out of its context and try to pin that tail on the donkey while blindfolded to what end? To fit in with someone's agenda or belief system. Did John tell you this is what he was refering to? More importantly did God tell you directly this is what He...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    What people have heard God say to them and then wrote down has been used by the Spirit of Truth. But to say that this is the only means He uses to lead us into ALL truth then this is false teaching. There was a guy whose family had survived for generations on fish. (Truth). Then one day someone...

    Again you pull the writings of one person way out of its context and try to pin that tail on the donkey while blindfolded to what end? To fit in with someone's agenda or belief system. Did John tell you this is what he was refering to? More importantly did God tell you directly this is what He...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Again, the Scriptures contains only a fraction of God's word ever spoken. His word, His expressed thoughts, every word that proceeds from the mouth of God that we are to live by are not within the pages of scripture. Far far from it. Some have gone further and foolishly tried to convince...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    I think you have thrown 3 different things into 1 and used them interchangeably. 'His Word", 'Scripture' and 'My voice'.

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    Yet most of what God has spoken we have never heard or read. Because He didn't speak it directly to us and whatever God did speak wasn't ever written down. Take for example when God came to Adam each day and spoke to him. And what God spoke through Jesus when He was on earth. Most of God's...

    Believe Jesus

    Rev 14 the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the...

    Believe Jesus

    Again, who first made this connection? Why did they join these totally separate dots? Dot 1 - Jesus's statement to this huge gathering of people. Dot 2 - John's record naming 12 specific tribes x 12,000 = 144,000. Dot 1 - Luk 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an...

    Believe Jesus

    And the 144000 children of Jacob who are chosen out to follow the Lamb will be joined by these kings and priests of the same Lamb, the King of us kings, and Great High Priest of us priests.

    Believe Jesus

    I wasn't refering to the little flock. Nor the 144,000. But what John' saw Rev 7:9 and heard 5:9&10. Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed...

    Believe Jesus

    Is John refering to the same people in Rev 7:9 that he had already mentioned in chapter 5? Rev 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of...

    Believe Jesus

    Who said that what Jesus refered to as the little flock are the same as what John heard are the 144000. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. And who said the great crowd John...

    What if I don’t want eternal life?

    I see that God has complete freedom to choose and the ability to determine a thing. How free an animal, an angel, a humans will or freedom to choose and the ability to determine a thing actually is, who knows. And what happens when they are opposed to eachother? Who gets their way? “For my...

    What if I don’t want eternal life?

    Yes I would agree if you were the Designer/Creator of everything. But since you are just a created item, as I am, then it's not all about us but the Creator.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    And God's purpose is predetermined and then carried out by the sovereign Creator without objection. Who can know the inner desire of God at any given point in time? And who is there that could work out a way to fulfill it? None. Only God alone. Then who has the power and wisdom to actually carry...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Ok. My attitude towards God has changed. My actions in praying and evangelism has changed a bit too. As God has chosen some for pre judgement salvation and the rest for later down the track. Phew, that's good to hear. But those who try to gain understanding of Jesus's teaching apart from the...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Matt 13:10 Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?” 11He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Sure. Those who follow Jesus not only agree with His words but believe and live by them. When it comes to one's interpretation of what He said over against another's then that's a different story. Just look at His parables. There's sooo many different interpretations of each and every...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    No, not at all. Did Jesus tell those who contributed to the scriptures EVERYTHING, ALL TRUTH, EVERY WORD that proceeds from the mouth of His Father? Of course not. Otherwise one could accuse Him of giving false promises. So He gave His Spirit of Truth to carry out this important task within...
