I have several historical reasons why we could turn to any date over the last 2 to 300 years and declare, that was the beginning of sorrows. But the one that stands out to me more than any other is 1844. Google that year, and discover what took place in the spiritual realm. And the difference...

You have built an entire doctrine, teaching that others are heretics if they disagree, all on an implication. Mmm Not denying that, in fact of I remember correctly, I made that very point in my first post on this thread... "And God breathed into him the breath of life, and man became a living...

All very good quotes. Yet you believe Christians are already in heaven. Make up your mind.

Which contradicts the rest of scripture. And the parable of the rich man and Lazarus can't be used as a theological treatise on the state of the dead, seeing it contradicts your own interpretation of souls under the altar. Unless you also think those souls can see people in hell, have fingers...

You agree with me yet are very defensive as to what it actually looks like in everyday life it seems. You say you have been teaching obedience as a fruit of the Spirit for years, yet the moment I posted a similar concept you suggested my motives for doing so were anti gospel. What does obedience...

Remember, the reason we are in this mess is disobedience. Surely you aren't suggesting that being saved allows for people to continue to live in that same disobedience? Is not salvation an intellectual, spiritual, and emotional assent to God's authority, replacing that which the old man was in...

Believe in what? What precisely is one to believe in, or for, that replaces obedience? Or could one have such a faith that God is able to work in His people His own righteousness, conforming them into the image of His Son, this empowering them to obey? See Romans 8:29 Do you believe that?

Mankind fell because of sin. The only solution provided by God to the sin problem, and man's predicament, is the blood of the Lamb and man's choice to allow God to turn his/her life around from one of disobedience and submission to the devil, to a life of obedience and submission to Christ...

There must be quite a number of people reading these posts. I can't help but wonder why there aren't any who are responding to your post with, " wow, I've never seen that before! Now so much makes sense and I now have definitive scriptural support against pagan superstitions and spiritualism...

There is in many the Babylonian Spirit that declares, "I can do this". (Think the tower of Babel). Self sufficiency and an independent mindset is the enemy to the Christian way of life, and constantly impedes our understanding and acceptance of biblical truth. KJV 2 Corinthians 10:5 5 "Casting...

The term 'legalistic' of applied often by those unwilling to obey certain scriptural Commandments. God has ultimate authority. The very moment we reason against a commandment, be it OT or NT, we are placing ourselves as an authority above God. And if we use other's education, principles...

Good post. It is true that God speaks to us in different ways... Through Providence... Nature...a whisper in the ear... Through others... Even rocks and donkeys... And of course prophets... But the Bible is and always should be the final authority. That's what miffs Rome... They demand that they...

I think this would be appropriate in this thread... https://rumble.com/v1xulqe-wup-144.html

Paul expressed the hope that “Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.” Paul tied life and death to a physical body, not some soul or spirit. The alternatives that drew him were either “to live” or “to die.” He was “in a strait” between these two. If he lived...

Correct. True. And from where do those gimme from who have been waiting since the day they died... Many of whom died at the second coming?

What sayeth the scriptures? What I seem to argue is irrelevant. KJV John 6:39-40, 44-51, 53-54 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent...

No argument with that. Describing his testimony as an unconverted religious Pharisee and bigot, loved his religion and the law it was based on, yet recognized, despite his zealousness, that he wasn't meeting it's high standards. He was, like Nicodemus, unconverted.

Nicodemus. Member of the religious elite. A Pharisee just like Paul. Loved the law. Saw his obedience to the law as the means by which to be saved. Considered himself am example and mentor to society. And was unconverted.

I believe that glorifying God is expressing His character. His character is reflected in His law, "for all Thy commandments are righteousness", and obedience to His commandments is to God's glory. Those in the end who are sealed, having "their Father's name in their foreheads", as opposed to the...

Romans 7 is a description of an unconverted man. Seeking maybe, attending the synagogue regularly like Nicodemus, but unconverted nevertheless. No converted born again Christian and filled with the Spirit of God should be having the problems as described in Romans 7. The person described therein...
