Thanks glad to be here, As I said in reply to OzSpen I do not consider my self to be a "dispensationalist" that's just a title men give to those who believe the scriptures to so teach. As I said I am first and foremost a Christian, a student of the Word of God. I used to be a Baptist, and that...

Just for clarification, first of all I don’t consider myself to be a “Dispensationalist”, that is simply a title given by men and can carry a wide range of meanings. I am first of all a Christian, likewise a student of God’s Word, a Bible Student. As a student of the word I accept what the word...

Welcome on board, I'm relativity new here my-self, about 2 weeks, don't be shy post those questions, there's a lot of folks here ready to answer as best they can.

6 more years until retirement, I should say 6 more years until I can draw SS, most likely I will have to keep on working as long as I can, but probably not as much leaving more time for the Lord's business. Take your time, look things over and get back with me when you're ready.

Sorry my friend that I could not reply to your question right away, but unfortunately I still have to work all day, and the evenings are my only opportunity to reply to any post. Your question is a very good one, and relates to the words of our Lord as stated in Matt 24:14, viz. “And this...

Thank you mj The Scriptural statement, as we recall, is that not many great, not many wise, not many learned, not many rich, not many noble, according to the course of this world, but rather the poor, rich in faith, hath God chosen to be heirs of the Kingdom.--1 Cor 1:26-28; James 2:5. It’s...

It is interesting, and we certainly live in interesting times. I am not familiar with your identification of 1864. I believe you meant 1874 I didn't see in your writing any mention of the rapture of the Church or of the Great Tribulation period. From your use of (Rev. 14) I assume you see us...

Sorry Willie, but I don't follow, What was written a few years ago? What are you referring to? As for being "hung up on the “D” word", I believe the various dispensations and ages are scriptural facts, testified by the scriptures, in other words "sound doctrine", there’s nothing here to be...

Thank you, 1874 A.D. According to the True Bible Chronology marks the end of the first 6000 years since creation, and the beginning of the Millennial age, and what was it that was supposed to happen during that time, that’s right the “Harvest”, the “harvest is the end of the age” (Matt 13:39)...

Well lets see, the Word of God attest to it, the facts of history as they've played out thus far attest to it, so yes I would have say we believe it. So which is it for you, you can't accept the Word of God on the matter or is it history that's giving you the problems? I would suggest you...

These three great epochs represent three distinct manifestations of divine providence. The first, from creation to the flood, was under the ministration of angels, and is called by Peter “the world that was.” 2 Pet. 3:6 The second great epoch, from the flood to the establishment of the kingdom...

As a new member of this forum I note that various discussions have been made on the subject of dispensationalism, some arguing for, others against that is to say whether or not it is a man-made doctrine or one actually taught in the scriptures. First of all it might help if we define what a...

Now as to your second post: You quote, Luke 1:15, “For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.” Note likewise that both Elizabeth John’s mother and Zacharias his father...

OK my friend so as to avoid in further confusion I will break down your first post and distinguish between what we agree with and what we don’t, understand this in no way implies any ill will toward you personally, so please don’t take it that way, I am simply attempting to present our position...

Sorry but we have to disagree with this synopsis (not all of it mind you), basically what you’re suggesting (perhaps not intentionally) is that a non-believer has to have the Holy Spirit before he can have faith enough to become a believer, we both know that’s not so. Likewise if as you say it...

“Despite what is commonly believed and taught by orthodoxy, immersion or baptism (Greek--dipping) in water, as practiced by John the Baptist and afterward by our Lord and his disciples, had a different significance at first among the disciples from what it came to have after the Spirit...

So what is a soul? Where did it come from, how did it originate? Let’s let the Lord answer this question. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (soul).” NKJV Gen 2:7 “The word ‘soul;’ as found in...

Upon examining some of the various threads on this forum with regards to the soul I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of speculation upon this subject, not all of which is based upon the scriptures. This subject is considered an important doctrine one which needs to be rightly understood...

I made no pretense of being wise (according to this world) as you suggest, that’s your perception not mine. The best we can do as individuals is to follow the Lord’s admonishment to “try the spirits”; “prove all things” that is proving them to see if they are in agreement with the word of the...

Apparently I did not word this as well as I should have, I did not mean to infer that Satan had control over our Lord in the sense in which he had dominion over him (that he ruled him), but in the sense in which he was given control of our Lord’s life through his deluded servants, to which our...
