I love the Lord, value my salvation more than anything and would not nor could ever choose to reject it. When the Holy Spirit resides in you, He confirms His presense, loves you, guides you, answers prayers, communes with your spirit, etc., etc., etc. These people are lost and always have been...

A few could leave; but really, they were never spiritually transformed. There are tens of thousands of Christian scholars just in the English language. The Body of Christ is in tact with 2.7 billion believers. As Jesus said in the Parable of the Sower of Seed. Some seed always falls on shallow...

Where in scripture did it say the 70 were with Jesus from the beginning as long as the 12 disciples ... 3.5 years? Their pre-death and resurrection mission message was obviously different than their post-Pentecost missions message. That's why I said it was likened to preview/preparatory trial...

@ Beebster Are you a Jehovah Witness ... SDA ... or maybe a Universalist? If so, you are locked in and I'll be wasting my time debating this. But for the chance that you aren't, here you go. If it was a parable, there would not be specific names of familiar people like Abraham and his...

The keys to heaven are spreading the gospel... and millions have used these keys. Believing in Christ is the primary key. Jesus gave Himself. Therefore all teachings of Christ are keys to heaven, not only given to one person to pass on.

What I do think is absurd is the idea that Jesus meant a sewing needle. What Jesus told the rich man was not an impossibility. It was possible for camel with a large pile of goods to enter into a city's entrance gate - he would have to off load the goods. He wasn't willing to. Many rich people...

Notice Bill's true voice two months ago: Check out this video, "Bill Clinton's most recent speech" https://share.google/gM7eBAIb496DZC2qC

It is a fake. That is what Bill's voice sounded like 30 years ago. Bill Clinton's nuclear deal failed with North Korea as did Obama's with Iran. That was so flimsy with the inspection transparency -- a joke. Trump bombed Iran's nuclear sites and Iran did nothing in retaliation - because they...

Poor analogy. Being fruitful has nothing to do with money. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Though God does want us to work and prosper. Sure, he might have goofed up, been a sluggard - but Jesus would not...

"PETER, PETER pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her, so he put her in a pumpkin shell and kept her very well." Could be the Roman Church is in that very shell?

The 70 were sent to cities where Jesus planned to go Himself, acting as messengers to prepare the people. The 12 apostles held a higher, foundational role as witnesses, while the 70 performed a broader ministry. I would imagine after the Hilt Spirit came, those 70 disciples became bishops of 70...

Being born again is an instaneous spiritual birth. Still, the soul needs work and that takes time. Remember, we are body, soul and spirit. Sanctification is gradual, a separation process from the worldly things, walking in the flesh into dying to yourself and walking in the spirit. And this is...

Yes, I wouldn't think Jesus would give anyone a different agenda, nor do I think he would send them on a mild training mission without resistance. He did say He was sending them out among the wolves. Of course prior to Jesus death sentence there weren't serious death threats and orders to...

These warnings came before their mission, not they they all occurred, nevertheless, there did face resistance as did Jesus. "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves..." "But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their...

Jesus just gave them temporal instructions, hands on application to practice missionary work, still apprentices, journeyman if you will. Like new doctors must spend time in residency, monitored, before they achieve independent status. The disciples came back exhausted. They faced over-whelming...

No. That would imply God made a mistake, is at fault. Forgiveness was part of Creation, He knew sin would come into the world, had a plan of forgiveness and redemption. Forgiveness did not exist before creation. Was mercy needed before sin? Judgment of sin was necessary, and so was mercy and...

True. But remember, all good things come from God. God can cause the unbeliever to do a good work unbeknownst to the him for God's purpose. Keep in mind, God is sovereign, so has a plan for this world and everyone in it that must include all details and acts of each individual. He allows good...

He descended from Heaven, was seen in the clouds, trumpet sounded, we were changed THEN He stood on the Mt of Olives as the GT continued. Of course there are many views.

Judgement yes, for those on earth during and at the end of the Great Tribulation soon coming; but not His final Great White Throne Judgment. The Day if the Lord lasts 1000 years ... as scripture implies a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day to the Lord. So as there are...
