When I came to know the Lord change was easy. How could I not? But coming to know God and salvation, is not what this thread is about. Briefly for introduction: I did not know there was a God, but felt the weight of the world--as we all do in our own way. For me, it was as if I was set up, I...

No need to assume, I explained in posts #195 and #227.

Unfortunately, you believe and are stuck in a doctrine of your own understanding. Satan had some things correct also. But you don't understand what you don't understand. However, you should know that many passages can be interpreted in different ways, and we do not get to decide or imagine what...

I was caught up to the third heaven before God, changed and returned. As for others, many are saved and many are not, usually it shows.

Says you--but you are not batting a thousand. Like Israel, the kingdom of God had come upon them, but they perceived it not and walked away only to live out their lives not knowing. History repeats itself.

You and I are both repeating. Unfortunately, that means you will not know the finish before you die, but will awaken to what I have been telling you of.

If you know the scriptures, tell me: Where is it written that Christ died once for all--and rose again, after first descending?

Again, some of that is good, but not the finish. You have as much as joined "the one new man" with the dead. That is not the gospel of Christ. To the contrary, in Christ--the dead of old, and those since Pentecost--all have all "in Christ." Which in the history of this world was during His...

So you say. But then again, so said those who taught the teachings of evil men warned of by Peter and Paul. I have not been speaking in alignment with you or with them, but have been acting according to what I have been appointed to--which has no contemporaries that you should know of it, and...

Yeah, so there goes your idea that it was "finished" for those at their time of conversion. They/we even now, may be finished at the point of death--but not finished having gained all truth at their conversion. What is your own witness--have you gained "all truth" and "the mystery of God" to...

That is not the "finish" of "the mystery of God" spoken of in Revelation 10:7. You are referring to the spiritual resolve that comes with the peace of Christ in salvation. Very special, but not the wrap-up and revelation of all the higher knowledge included in the greater mystery of God. That...

You keep going on and on--do you not understand that this is so because you do not know? In any case, with each point I have need to address the issue(s): I already explained this--the dead before Christ died in their sins, and those who believed in His coming were crucified and raised up with...

Yes, the Old Testament believers did had knowledge of the coming of Messiah--by prophecy, and by faith in His coming were saved by and in His death.

That's what I said.

All are saved by faith, those before Christ that He would come, and those after that He has come. And those in Christ who came before salvation and the Holy Spirit was sent, they precede us, thus are perfect in Christ before us, though we were first to receive new life in the Spirit. As it is...

Again, there is much that is true among all that you have said here above, but that does not explain away "the mystery of God" as "finished." In fact, it has not been "finished" in that way with the multitude of those who have been born of the spirit of God since Pentecost, at all. But rather...

Yes, I am aware of the fact that you do not see it. But you might start with Paul being an apostle to the gentiles at the beginning rather than the end, and him seeing the whole of it before hand...as did John.

There is a greater spiritual truth here (to the contrary), but I will leave it for now.

You have the order wrong. Here is the correct order: "Christ the firstfruits" is first. "Firstfruits" being plural refers to "the dead in Christ"--that is, those who died before salvation and the Holy Spirit came. Next are "those who are Christ's" which Paul referred to as "we who are alive and...

You have not shown how "All the Elect will experience eating the little book just as Paul did", let alone how John did. Nor have you shown how all Elect since Pentecost ate what was under restraint--that is not what Paul wrote of He who restrains. You also have not shown how all the Elect came...
