The New Jerusalem comes down our of heaven at the end of the millennium. The church is in it. God's people were not on earth during the millennium. The earth was empty except for the devil and his angels. That was his bondage. No Nations to tempt. Everyone else, that is the wicked, apart from...

You contradict yourself with these two quotes. You correctly state that begotten means unique offspring. Not created, but brought forth. Then you say in the second quote that the one brought forth... The one begotten... Is the same person as the one who begat. Can you clarify please?

True, but the promises that were insufficient and needed to be replaced weren't God's promises. They were Israel's promises to obey. God didn't ask Israel to promise anything. All He ever asks of us is to believe in His promises to accomplish all the purposes for which they are sent. So shall be...

And therein is the key. The relationship... Christ knocking always... Was initiated, and is maintained constantly, by God. But what you said above... It is contingent, dependant upon our faith. Is believing is not guaranteed.

Individual sins... If cherished... Unconfessed... Do lead to chastisement. Do all accept that chastising and humble themselves to correction? Do all believe... Trust... That God does forgive, will forgive, if they come to Him? OSAS is contingent on faith. The just shall live by faith.. most of...

Yes, we can. But we don't always. After sin we sometimes hesitate to confess it. We may refrain, through a sense of guilt, from reading scripture, off even going to church. While this may not explicitly mean a lot of salvation, I think it certainly can lead to such a loss, because that...

Show me one person on this planet who can explain fully the nature of the Godhead without any presumption or assumption. I put it to you that no-one can fully explain it understand that which is infinite. Much less should anyone declare to another... You misunderstand the trinity. Uh, duh. Of...

Is some cases it did fail to bear fruit. KJV Matthew 13:18-23 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed...

I think you all need to rethink the whole issue. First, what is the purpose of a witness. Why at this time of human history, according to the popular theory, would God send two prophets from heaven to earth. After all, Jesus already had declared that such a scenario would be of no purpose. KJV...

Amen. When God gave Christ to the human race, it was an eternal gift. The Son of God is forever intimately connected to humanity through His own human nature.

"Lucky repentance" is only dangerous if you think of it as a one off event. Repentance that leads to salvation is a lifestyle of faith and submission to the providence and grace of God as He daily cleanses and sanctifies. Sanctification takes a lifetime. And should we get skittled by a bus with...

The Rank which is normal in all Father/Soon relationships... That in which the parent has ultimate authority and the child submits to it. KJV 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 24 Then cometh the end, when he, (Jesus the Son, ) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he(the...

Your post above isn't a reply to mine. It's another topic that you've promoted endlessly on other threads...which I equally endlessly will deny. Care to discuss why your church persecutes people for not believing in something the church itself cannot explain and calls a mystery?

But you said yourself, that no-one is lost because of sin, but because they don't believe. Are you saying that a Christian can never stop trusting? Believing? Having faith? Saving faith???

Hello Pete. Welcome. Any relation to Philip James or Brendan James, both well known members of this forum?

Well, I don't know about anyone else here, but I know I'm nice. :rolleyes: Welcome.

Yes, the nature of the Godhead and how the persons of the Godhead comprise is indeed a mystery. And your church even admits of the "Mystery of the trinity". And yet, If someone does not subscribe to what either you, your church, or anyone else can understand, let alone teach in any fashion that...

Not such a mystery. The Fathjer and Son are equal in nearly all things, after all, the Son inherited everything the Father has...authority, power, etc. But one thing the Son never had and never will...the Father's rank.

I happen to agree with everything you said in the above post. I certainly believe that it is far far more difficult for Christian to finally be lost, than to be saved, simply because of the sustaining power of God. I would however like to comment on the following that I excerpted from your...

And here is number two...
