    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    Why would you think what “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared" is "simple?" As for Paul "clearly referring to a one time event"--yes, of course--"but each one in his own order." Indeed, that is very "simple" and "clear." Why...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    He did say, "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also" (John 14:19). Which I take as being a matter of "rightly dividing the word of truth"--dividing between this old earth and heaven. Which then one would have to factor in...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    Next question. One might ask: If Jesus is reigning in us, His body, is He not even now reigning bodily? And the next. One might ask: Is 1 Corinthians 15:28 referring to Jesus reigning bodily being fulfilled, or does it rather refer to "until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled?" And the...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    One might ask: If God has allowed Satan--to expose him, when is God not reigning?

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    We are not suppose to know, we're suppose to hear His voice above the static. What you are not allowing for is that God is actually the Author of confusion and in addition to all that is good, also creates evil--meaning, just as it is written, He works all things together for good, for those...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    You have much to learn before these matters can be fully addressed. As I said, your timing is off--way off. It is no wonder that you are full of questions--but you are also making claims, and it is not helping you to hear and understand what is actually true.

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    Why do you say His presence is not His coming? Because of this your timing is off, for just as He said "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" as a part of "the things which must shortly take...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    I have answered this already: All who are sent, are not sent to do the same. Were John the Baptist and John the apostle sent to do the same? Why would you lump them all together? How is it that you do not know these things, but question me as if I was the one who didn't know?

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    You misunderstand. If the light in us is not darkness, we are not partakers of that darkness. But we who are in Christ are to shine into darkness just as He has shined into us. Which Paul did not contradict in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, but spoke of coming out of darkness into the light of Christ...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    That was then, this is now. Why do you quote what was, and not consider what now is, that they foretold? God is not different, but the circumstance are the same in some respects but not in others. But you have not challenged my faith, but yours. It is though you have not taken to heart what was...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    Evil does not triumph over good. As for me, I made my choice before calling out to God--that is what I call Him--the One true God. I find it sad that you have such a grim outlook. But what do you think--is one caught up to the third heaven not already in the care of God, who is greater than he...

    Is Revelation 20:1-6 really a recap?

    It is not so much a "recap" as it is an overview--an overview of all time from beginning to end, with all that is written actually coming to fruition at the cross, and yet only made manifest (revealed) in the fullness of all time. So...from God's perspective--BAM!--"It is finished" as Christ...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    Most, believing the "lie" of "false teachers" have and do expect Christ to return, not "soon" or "quickly" or among "the things which must shortly take place" as He said--but that He would come well after that time in the distant future as a one time mass event, rather than to "but each one in...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    The times we are presently in are those times of the end foretold by Daniel and John, who were themselves told that these times were to come; that what they were not given to write would be revealed finishing the mystery of God as He declared to His servants the prophets, just prior to the...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    It's not all "delusion." But should I not go and "forsaking the assembling of ourselves together", because many have become victims of evil men and their teachings? Should Christ likewise not "have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness?" Where...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    Why do you find disagreement in everything? Did I tell you that I have been waiting "in a building for the sheep to wander in" or any such example? No--I did not. But what is it to you if it is God's will to sent me in a manner you were not expecting?

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    I am of the brotherhood of broken and imperfect vessels, some of whom are named in the scriptures, but most who are not. We are not a sect of like-minded people, but a body of many members, all of whom have need to call upon and come before God--to God--and have come.

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    I called Him by name...and He answered, with confirmations innumerable. Are you convinced that those who sincerely call out to God in their hour of need, have no idea who they are talking to, and that God is not faithful and would allow Satan to step in?
