    Any prophecies out there we can actually believe?

    You can believe all the prophecies given in the Bible that are yet unfulfilled. Is that arrogance? The prophets of today will be of the local church. They will have the gift of prophecy. If you don't believe it...how do you expect to receive it? What is your gift in the body of Christ...

    Charles Spurgeon's Sanity Litmus Test (are you insane?)

    We will always be studying the Bible here and never learn it all. It is not that we 'miss' some things. We just are not ready to learn some things. The Holy Spirit is involved in our learning and it is a building process. As we are told in (Is. 28:9-10), "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and...

    Charles Spurgeon's Sanity Litmus Test (are you insane?)

    Ones understanding of these things of the last days are important. They will play a role in all of ones interpretation of the Bible. To ignore it is to limit oneself in the understanding of Scripture. Plus they play a role in ones sanctification. How? (John 3:2-3) Consider this. (Mark...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    I have always said the gospel of grace and the kingdom are different. I wouldn't have argued with you over that. No, 'I' am not separating what Jesus preached concerning the gospel of the kingdom and what Paul preached concerning the gospel of grace. 'Scripture' separates it. Which I gave...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    Well, I thought I did try and correct your 'in other words' . They were based on your statement in post #85 that I believed Paul but not Jesus. Thus when I said I believed Paul and Jesus, that should have been enough to correct all other statements. To go back and clarify. Concerning...

    Any prophecies out there we can actually believe?

    I believe we do still have prophets and apostles in the Church today. But they will be found functioning within the local body of believers with that gift of the Holy Spirit. The last Old Testament prophet was John the Baptist. And in the last days, there is another to come which will...

    Charles Spurgeon's Sanity Litmus Test (are you insane?)

    In those last days there will be many anti-Christian movements. But, that doesn't mean the anti-Christ is not a person. (Rev. 13:18) is clear that anti-christ will be a person. "...Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    I believe what Paul said. And I believe what Jesus said. The 'other words' are yours....not mine. Yes Jesus is God The Son. What I said makes perfect sense. And what I said is supported by the Scripture I gave. The said Scripture which you do not address. Why? (Eph. 3:1-5)...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    But Jesus is not saying what you are saying He is saying. Yes, He said many who call Him Lord will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And only those who do the will of the Father in Heaven will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He hasn't said anything about 'belief'. Nothing. This verse is...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    Well, that is the point of being 'sealed'...isn't it? Jesus may not have taught the 'sealing' of the Holy Spirit. That doesn't mean it is not a true event and doctrine. The revelation the risen Jesus Christ gave to the apostle Paul was that which had not been known before. (Eph. 3:1-5)...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    But isn't the Lord saying not all are believers. He is not saying there are some believers that are not going to Heaven and are not sealed. In other words, He is saying you call me Lord, but you were never a believer. That is very different from what you are saying when you say some...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    I thought Jesus said it in (John 6:27). But He spoke of Himself. But we have the statement from Paul, (2Cor. 1:21-22) " Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." Stranger

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    Did Jesus really say that though? Did He say not all believers go to heaven? Did He say not all those who believe are sealed? How would you reconcile (Matt. 7:21) to (Rom. 8:35-39)? Stranger

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    The rock definitely was Christ. God told Moses to smite the rock the first time. But the second time He told him to speak to the rock. But Moses was angry with the people of God and spoke unadvisedly. And instead of speaking to the rock he smote the rock in his wrath. And God would not...

    Suicide: A guaranteed direct ticket to hell?

    Repentance and remission of sins are not the same. Jesus Christ paying for sin and forgiving our sins are not the same. Moses repented of striking the rock the 2nd time, and asked God to let him enter the land. But God would not. God did not allow him to repent. Did Moses go to Heaven...

    The God shaped hole

    Well, how did you put the hole there? You said you must know. So, do you? If you know how you put the hole there, then you should know how to fill it. Stranger

    Why water into wine?

    Glad to hear it sister. And I also. Though as I have said, I am not anti-Catholic. Concerning Luthers disdain for Esther, I believe it was because of the vengeance, or protection of God, for the Jews even though they were a people in rebellion against God. I don't think Luther could see...

    Why water into wine?

    Didn't mean to misrepresent you, if I did. I wasn't really 'quoting' you, just making a point concerning things you said. Well, that means it is not the same. The apocryphal books were always in question. That is why they had the term apocryphal. The Reformers usually placed them by...

    Why water into wine?

    Well, the Bible that the Roman Church uses is different also. Yet, you said you knew that Luther removed some of the books of the Bible, which can only mean you support the apocrypha found in the Roman Bible. (post #706) Yet you now say you use the Protestant Bible. Why would you use a...

    Why water into wine?

    Well, tell me then, what Bible you use? The Bible of the Roman Church or the Bible of the Protestant Church? Stranger
