God hides things. He is a God who hides. Look at all the microscopic life...well we can't see it actually. But why go to all that trouble? What about the quantum realm. All seemingly chaotic. So then the chaos is built in. From the beginning..as in...in the beginning. God created darkness as...

I see natural chaos as when the divine order is hidden. Like why doesn't the earth spin out of control? Divine order! But no scientist can figure out why. And that's because we ...besides being very limited...need to just trust God from the "unknown" (the part that handles the "chaos") part of...

Actually only the beginning of story. The modern doctrine has the race won with one step. But such as do that in the real race are disqualified. We need to attain to Christ. God gives us time to do this. But if we are smug and feel like we are privileged without striving to enter into God's...

Now Rev. 10 is not a stand alone prophecy. The root of it goes back to the OT...as all prophetic statements should. So we have a much better appreciation of things when we get both perspectives out of treasures both old and new. :) So we begin Ez. 3 with this statement... v-1 "Eat this...

Before going to Ez. 3 and the megilat-sefer (the book-scroll) I'd like to compare two passages regarding chaos and the Spirit. Let's start at the beginning... 1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; (CHAOS) and darkness was upon the...

A mixed bag of responses here...from the interesting to the bizarre. :) But I think less speculation and imagination are needed...and more prophetic insight! The hardened forehead is a good thing...nothing to do with the mark of the beast...and this is in order to stand up to they who are...

But many believers who are saved from hell fire will be rejected into outer darkness. Judgment begins at the house of God. The truth is not just about eating sweets. Allow the truth to sink into your mind and heart.

False of course. We receive grace in order to do the works of heaven, or at least for works of righteousness for which we will be judged. We are justified by walking in grace in order to fulfill the commandments of God. If we love God we will DO His commandments. But if you think grace is a...

This is wrong. Jesus came to give us His perfection so that we would walk in it...and do the works of Jesus. God DOES expect perfection by giving us grace...to walk in the perfected humanity of Jesus. THAT is what grace does, Otherwise you have an invented pretend grace. Grace is the power of...

But redemption into what? Salvation into what? You are like a person who just wants to take a bus without knowing where the bus is going. Grace fulfills the law...otherwise it isn't grace. faith establishes the law otherwise it isn't faith. So you are trying to understand something spiritual...

Welcome here SYL :)

This is false. You are taking things too far...as all religious people do. The judgment of Christ is about the kind of works you do. Are they eternal works prepared in advance? Are they just human works based on religious posturing. Many will be rejected by God. Out of the same lump God makes...

We shall all appear before the Bema seat of Christ to receive what we have done in the body. Some to eternal glory and other to eternal shame and reproach. And that is the house of God.

I think God created the universe in a way that it functions without His presence. But things naturally are very random and ...chaotic. But God brings order to the chaos through His Spirit. He brings order by making it possible for life to be sustained. And behind it all is a divine order....that...

Great! That's exactly where I was going with this. :)

People get confused on this issue because time isn't factored in. We are BEING saved by grace IF we walk in the Spirit or are led by the Spirit. The spiritual life is a gift. But come judgment day we will not be judged by grace but against grace....we will be judged by our works and our...

OK...so I copied this post from another thread (dialectic) to continue with this important subject.. The Little Book: This could be a thread in and of itself. But the chapter is so important to understand why we need to remain in the whole counsel of God. Revelation 10 "1 And I saw another...

The Little Book: This could be a thread in and of itself. But the chapter is so important to understand why we need to remain in the whole counsel of God. Revelation 10 "10 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his...

A brilliant post. Thank you for this uncommon sense! :)

I have mainly chosen the former option on this thread for the ideologues that reason from the carnal mind. The "thesis" one. :)
