    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    You still have not understood the parable of "The strongman" and He who is "the Stronger". Mat. 12:29 Mark 3:27 Luke 3:21-26 Therein lies the truth of how Satan and his evil horde "sit in" the (potential) temple(s) of God, and HOW Jesus (the Stronger) removes him, and KEEPS HIM OUT.

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Yes!! The New Covenant is to have faith in Jesus. HE IS the NC. of God to ALL mankind, of which BEGAN from out of Jerusalem. As you know, Jesus was sent to Israel first, but they as a people REJECTED Him, their own Messiah/Savior. Therefore, God had no other recourse but to BEGIN His NC with...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    What prophetic event, do the literal words of Jesus relate to, in this statement of Jesus: John 2 [18] Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? [19] Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy [desolate] this temple, and in...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Well, it could be that we both are a bit off. However, Jesus did pronounce the New Covenant with His disciples, through the giving of the symbols of the "bread" and the "wine". Heb. 9 [14] How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    That is because of your false interpretation of what the early rain and the latter rain actually are. Wrong!! Only WHEN they actually ask for the Gift of God's Holy Spirit, by answering His "knocking" from OUTSIDE the "door" of their innermost being, shall they THEN receive the Holy Spirit...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    The "early rain" is the Holy Spirit, dwelling OUTSIDE of an unsaved person. The HOLY Spirit of God cannot permanently take up residence within anyone, who is NOT of faith to believe that God is. Heb. 11 [6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Hands that shed innocent blood, is an abomination unto God. Pilate was willing to allow Jesus to be free, but the Jews would not.

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Jesus did confirm a Covenant with his disciples before his death, as well as after His resurrection, who was then seen by them for 40 days.

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    Absolutely not. Unfortunately, as we live out our lives in mortal flesh, "the natural man" is ever present with us, being that of our own human mind. Though we are "Born again" by the Holy Spirit, aka "the mind of Christ", many are USING their "natural man's" mind to study/interpret God's word...

    Daniel 9:27 the covenant to be confirmed

    I was referencing Dan. 12:11-12 which is about the 1290 plus the 45 days (1335), that were at the end of the 2300 day prophecy, of which, as you pointed out, is shown in Dan. 8:14. Thanks for pointing out that oversight. Antiochus Epiphanes, in his time, did literally fulfill the 2300 day...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    As I have previously said , all who lived their lives under the OC., could only have their sins forgiven for a period of one year, through the sacrifice of animals. In other words, their sins were never removed. Only by the Sacrifice of Christ is sin removed. God who is Holy, cannot permanently...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes, however, it would be impossible for God's Holy Spirit to permanently dwell within the OC saints, because the blood of Christ was not shed yet for the REMOVAL of sin. Therefore, the form of repentance that came to them was that of "metanoia", thus having only a change of their own mind...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Cont'd from #250: As you might recall, I gave the TR Greek definition of the other form of repentance, being that of the word: "metanoia" "is having only a change of our "own mind", Of the two forms of repentance, only one form of repentance is acceptable to God, and that is "metanoeo"...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes, that is the point that we disagree on, being the two symbolic approaches of God's Holy Spirit, known as "the former and latter rain". I fully understand the point you are making. However, in my discussion with you, I perceive that I have not been thoroughly clear in delivering the crucial...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Almost my exact point!! As I had said: " The Holy Spirit of God IS NOT GIVEN yet to a person, that He is LEADING to repentance (metanoeo) towards God. At that time in a person's life, the mind of God, His Holy Spirit, only comes along side of us, but IS NOT YET permanently within the repentant...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    That is my point, of which you DON'T hear or see. The Holy Spirit of God IS NOT GIVEN yet to a person, that He is LEADING to repentance (metanoeo) towards God. At that time in a person's life, the mind of God, His Holy Spirit, only comes along side of us, but IS NOT YET permanently within the...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    MY one last point: 1. Adam and Eve were created innocent. They had NO knowledge of evil or good, nor did they have Eternal existence of any kind! 2. Christ does NOT GIVE the Holy Spirit to anyone WITHOUT their "asking" or knowing!! Luke 11:13. The first step to Christ, is from outside of...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Since you are moving on to another thread, I can only say that throughout the NT scriptures, Jesus makes it plain that His Glorious, visible return from Heaven, in Immortality, will be suddenly, a one time simultaneous event of destruction for all the unsaved, and redemption for ALL OF HIS Born...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I repeat: If we, as individuals, DO NOT make Him our choice, while we have breath, we CANNOT go on living into Eternity. Rom. 8-10 [8] So then they that ARE in the flesh [only-being unconverted] cannot please God. [9] But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of...
