    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    I only wish the Jews and Israel well.......but above all that they might know their messiah and receive eternal life, because this life is short and temporal for both Jew and Gentile. That thing called replacement theology is a false dichotomy, and a false accusation. There is "Israel after...

    Limited atonement is a false gospel

    I don't think complacency and taking things for granted or abdicating our part in this are going to bring us safely home. It says somewhere to take heed who thinks he stands lest he fall.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Believers have been baptized into Christ's death, burial and resurrection. That passage is speaking not just of not knowing Christ after the flesh any longer, but includes those who are His. Now we only really know people according to whether they belong to Christ or not. Israel after the...

    Limited atonement is a false gospel

    Amen. This scripture comes to mind: 2Ti 4:2-4 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers...

    Limited atonement is a false gospel

    Amen brother. Our God is a consuming fire....and the scripture says that no man can see God and live. What will happen then to those who are not hid in the cleft of the Rock (which is Christ) in the day when every eye will see Him? There is no salvation (eternal life) without Him.

    Why I Warn, and Why I Won’t Stop

    Brother, we are grafted into the "commonwealth of Israel"....which is the Israel of God. "All Israel will be saved" is referring to the Israel of God.....all who are foreknown by God of both the nation of Israel and the Gentile nations. Only a remnant will be saved out of both.

    Why I Warn, and Why I Won’t Stop

    Yes, principle of reaping what we sow. Jesus said to pray that God would forgive our debts AS we forgive others. And this agrees with the Matthew 18 parable about the man whose debt was forgiven but then he afterward refused to forgive someone else their debt, and so was punished..

    Why I Warn, and Why I Won’t Stop

    Amen, the remnant of believing Jews are counted for Israel...the Israel of God, which will live on forever......of which we believing Gentiles have been grafted in and together form a new creation. "For they are not all Israel who are of Israel" And "Now we know no man after the flesh any...

    Why I Warn, and Why I Won’t Stop

    Jesus was speaking to His first followers, believing Israel/Jews. And His gospel and word is to the Jew first, then the Gentile. We believing Gentiles can "hear" that His commands and admonishments are for us as well. They are for the whole church....the Israel of God, which is a...

    Why I Warn, and Why I Won’t Stop

    We Gentiles ARE the nations that the apostles were commanded to go to and make disciples of...however, it is still a word to the church in general. Which Israel are you speaking of here though, brother? The "Israel of God" or "Israel after the flesh"? Unbelieving Israel after the flesh...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Belief in and looking for an earthly utopia is one of those childish things we need to put behind us. 1Co 13:10-11 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Amen. Returning to the simplicity of Christ, where pastors are seen as one of many gifts, and not as the only gift in the church. It is simply, "when you come together, every one you hath.......". Why do we come together? It is for the Body to encourage and build itself up, but before that...

    Dream Of The Wall Of Water

    Is revival a form of judgment? It might be. I see the wall of water as judgment. The woman represents the church and the two fishermen also represent the church, made up of both Jew and Gentile....their nets being small makes me think of lukewarm, half-hearted, half-faith. They are all...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Are you still waiting for David's fallen tabernacle to be raised? It already has been and the Son of David is ruling over it as we speak: Act 15:14-20 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    I'm not sure the faithful remnant church will be sitting on the sidelines though brother. Look at the book of Esther and see if you see how things will go in the end......see Haman as the antichrist.....see if you see the King loosing and equipping/arming God's people to fight and overcome the...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    We must see by faith not by sight. Eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is saying. That scripture was fulfilled and is being fulfilled through the gospel of peace, believing Gentiles being at peace with God and at peace with their fellow man. Plowshares and pruning hooks refers to...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    I guess you must believe that means men can't be deceived. I would smile except it isn't funny. 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 2Pe 3:3-13 Knowing...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Box 2Co 5:16-17 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Gal 6:15 For...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Read 2 Peter 3....it tells us what the thousand years is. It's an indeterminate time/age of God's longsuffering and grace....the age we're living in now. Because no man knows the day or the hour it will end. It's the time we are to account as salvation....a time so long that men will be...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    A thousand years is as a day..........and a day is as a thousand years. So it's not a literal number. I believe it signifies an age, the completion of an age. We're told in scripture to compare spiritual with spiritual. The Word made flesh - Jesus - speaks to us in parables...
