    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    If the light of truth is thought to be an "attack"--you should probably close your eyes and only open them ever so slowly. In which case it is not advisable to speculate or teach or make accusations...at least until you have seen the whole truth without going up in smoke.

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    To all, This is perhaps the best explanation: But even that is limited to the perspective of existing within the pages of all that is written--written "before." Please understand, that all of what is written "was" written "before" the world was--before any of our world experiences began...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    "Predestinate" is not in scripture but only translated as such. There are other possible ways to translate the meaning...which I have expounded upon. I also explained the context meaning of how "He actually says He does know (before things occur)." The point being, since both what occurred and...

    What does Christ mean by 'this generation shall not pass'?

    What's hard about "This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be fulfilled." is that the world did not witness it. Which--is so stupid--because it was not supposed to: Luke 17:20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    There is actually no predestination. Here is the definition of the original word: προορίζω proorízō, pro-or-id'-zo; from G4253 and G3724; to limit in advance, i.e. (figuratively) predetermine:—determine before, ordain, predestinate. "Predestinate" from Romans 8:29 is simply world-speak for...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    That is a good and helpful passage, but you have still omitted and apparently have no knowledge of the facts that we who are in Christ are a body of many different members and, yes, different gifts, for the edifying of all given to all according to God as it pleases Him. In which case, as it...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    There is another passage like it also: John 1:3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. However, understanding that God made man in His own image, then took that part Adam called "woman" (meaning the opposite of man or God) out of His image-made man...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    That is such a sad testimony...that you apparently know no gift of Christ's being in you that you should call it nonexistent. Sad indeed. :( But that is just your sad testimony of unbelief, and although you may not be alone, even so "we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses" it...

    Did Jesus Break The Sabbath

    Yes, which came to complete fruition, after Jesus was "finished" with His work on the cross for salvation, during the times of that generation to whom He declared it.

    The eternal sign that God has set in the Jewish people

    The divine sign in the Jewish people Bs"d The Hebrew Bible, for Christians the OT, for Jews the Tanach, is replete with prophecy which has been fulfilled. (TaNaCH is an acronym for Torah, Nevi'iem, Chetuvim, which means Pentateuch, Prophets, and Writings, the three parts of the Jewish...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    Such a statement is against God, for He never changes. Malachi 3:6

    Peter the Rock?

    No, not even angel poo.

    Peter the Rock?

    Such are the ways of God--and then they are not.

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    While I do not find fault in what you have written, it should be known that just as many things have occurred, "that the works of God should be revealed" John 9:3-- It is the "tongues" events of scripture that reveal what God has done with the confusion of all language (including scripture) at...

    Did Jesus Break The Sabbath

    No, but it is as He said: Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. He "fulfilled" it. He is our Sabbath, in Him we have the rest of God.

    Peter the Rock?

    Nothing is off topic in all of life and creation. ;) But good--you are seeing the rub, the very things that show what is actually true...and are now a witness to it. I'll answer first in the form of a question: If you were to write a biography about a person (after the fact) telling their...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    If I may... In the same way God made the world, and "He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life." Genesis 3:24 Except it's forever.

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor." 2 Timothy 2:20 The way to look is not "forward": Hosea 5:8 “Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, The trumpet in Ramah! Cry aloud at Beth Aven, ‘Look behind you, O...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    That's true. But remember, just as Jesus was slain before the world began (a biblical fact), but came in the fulness of time in this prewritten book only now revealed to each generation...Satan is indeed part of the revealing. It's just the story being revealed, what was written before the world...

    Who can believe this?

    That's good, and it is certainly good to consider applicable for our own present time. But, if you can receive it the context can now be refined, even though it was not made available to many past generations. But now it is. Not because the time of fulfilment has come at long last...but because...
