I see it as a warning to those who are eternally saved but see others professing Christ who fall away. Believers should not be surprised that some will fall away, who were not eternally saved. I believe that's why the analogy of the earth bringing forth both good and bad fruit with only the...

But you are confusing how only those having physical eyes to see His coming in the clouds, with every eye seeing Christ at the Judgment Throne. Those who physically see His coming again are all kindreds of the earth. It is THEY, not those who have physically died and departed from the earth...

Every living creature upon the earth is a living soul. We are both flesh & bone and spirit. We don't ignore the fact that God created mankind to inhabit a physical, though mortal body with a spirit. The life we receive through the Spirit of Christ in us is not physical it is spiritual life...

Heb 6:4-6 This passage is commonly used to prove those who have been saved can fall away from faith and be lost. IOW those who do not believe in eternal security. The passage does not say it is possible for them to fall away, it says "For it is IMPOSSIBLE"! Look for example at vs 18 where...

Scott every eye will see (all who are still alive) Christ PHYSICALLY returning with the clouds of heaven in the same way He was seen departing from this earth. ALL without exception (even the dead) will see Him, because ALL without exception (living & dead) will be called before the Great White...

It seems you are conflating our entering into the Kingdom of God through His Spirit in us, with Christ's coming again in power and glory at the end of days. Christ came preaching the Kingdom of God as near, even at the doors for whosoever hears the message of the Kingdom of God and enters...

Is this really what you think some Christians believe about the creation of mankind? Surely none professing to be in Christ would deny that mankind was created with free will? Did not God give man a choice in the garden? And did man without any coercion from God of their own free will choose...

Exactly! We must make a distinction between what God's creation called the world is, from God's creation of mankind. The two are often interchanged as though they are the same thing. More often the Bible writes world when speaking of His whole creation, while mankind live in the world, but...

You isolate verses out of context to prove your doctrine, not biblical doctrine. When vs 9 of Hebrews is read in context, we learn who "every man" is. It is every man He brings unto glory through Him, and they are the children which God has given to Christ. Not every man, without exception...

Perhaps our doubting after knowing Christ comes not so much from unbelief, but from having little or immature faith. When the disciples of Christ had doubt through circumstances around them, Christ chastened them NOT because they did not believe in Him, but because their faith appears to be...

Summer is the time for harvesting! According to Christ the harvesting is now, during this age of Gospel grace, then at the end of this age, Christ will send His angels to gather that which the laborlores (disciples) have harvested together through the message of the Gospel. Matthew...

Yet every other parable Christ gives is that we might know the spiritual Kingdom of God is here, and that's what we proclaim as we take His Gospel unto all the earth. The parable of the fig tree is the same message as all the parables Christ gives His disciples. Christ very clearly tells the...

You did not address the purpose for which Christ spoke the parable. The parables symbolically speak of things that shall be as the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is made manifest as whosoever believes spiritually enters the Kingdom. Why would the parable of the fig tree be any different? Is the...

Read what I've written more carefully! I did not say all the prophecies of Old have been fulfilled, I said, "All the prophecies of Old are fulfilled and being fulfilled in this age of Gospel grace with the advent of Christ coming to earth a man." Then I give Joel prophesy being partially...

Do you think perhaps this person is a troll?

All the prophecies of Old are fulfilled and being fulfilled in this age of Gospel grace with the advent of Christ coming to earth a man. A good example of how the prophecies began to be fulfilled is with fulfillment of the prophesy of Joel at Pentecost with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on...

I don't believe I am! I'm using the entire Discourse, that speaks of all that shall come as His disciples proclaim the Gospel throughout the earth. Where you appear to zone in only on what Christ says we should look for with His coming. Which of the parables of Christ are not speaking of...

Randy, believe it or not I love having these discussions. What becomes exasperating is trying to discuss biblical doctrine without supporting what you believe from the Bible. When all we do is discuss one another's opinions without support from the Word of God we've stopped having biblical...

Not another tree, they must be grafted back into the good olive tree, and this shall only happen if they turn to Christ in faith!

Forgive me board members for being rude, but... Randy let me simply say Blah, Blah, Blah! You haven't addressed anything I've said, You simply keep using words to explain a doctrine that is to me one of the most bizarre understandings of Scripture that I have encountered. And in this community...
