And yet we read that anything that is not of faith is sin. KJV Romans 9 30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. KJV Romans 14 23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat...

Goes deeper that that my friend. Apocalyptic scripture isn't just shoot Jews. It's global. That double application is localised in the OT, to Jerusalem, but globally applying to all God's people... The church... In the NT. And it isnt the only prophecy that can apply in that fashion.

I believe that in the last days the following will apply to those " marked" with the seal of God... KJV Ezekiel 9 4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the...

I agree. I might add that if a Christian today isn't being vexed or harassed in some way, then his light ain't shining.

I suspect there are rooms in our lives we don't want anyone to enter because of the junk stored there. Totally surrendering ourselves and opening ourselves up to God is the beginning of healing. He changes only that which we give Him. Transparency is the only solution. But it isn't easy. And we...

Yes, wearing out the saints of the Most High, but that was in specific relation to the little horn.

Gday mate, howya doin. Yeah, been thinking about this and talking about with some friends and family for years, but particularly in the last month or two. I mean, we all would have had a general idea from prophecy and observation regarding what's coming, but who would have thought it would roll...

KJV James 1 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. If there is religion that is pure and undefiled, then there is a religion that is defiled. The difference is...

Hi Joseph. That's an interesting one. Testimony is something that is produced before a judge right? By witnesses right? Elsewhere we read that the witness, that is us, keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus... Which is the spirit of prophecy. So those witnesses, in order...

Like I said previously, no one is judging you for your Independence... And if your religion is of the good type as described in scripture, then great. But you still don't like anyone else's simply on the basis of the their membership to a church. Your automatic linking their church to being...

Oh please. How long have you been critical of all church systems, and mine in particular as works based self righteous Babylonian counterfeit Christian? Like, forever? Yet not once do you offer any substantial reason for that criticism apart from general condemnation In fact, you have promoted...

@mjrhealth You know mate, I don't care that you are an independent Christ loving Christian who is serving Christ in your community by loving others and contributing to their well being and doing what you can in your sphere of influence to alleviate the suffering of others. That is good religion...

@mjrhealth but at least you now agree that salvation is not unconditional. Turning back to the Father is a condition. On that note, so also is forsaking the old life.. It's sin... It's worldliness... It's selfishness. Because you cannot turn back to the Father without turning away from those...

Yes, repentance is surrender and/or submission the Father through Christ...a forsaking of self will and allowing God's spirit to work in and through us for His purposes. Do we know God's purpose? His final plan? Yes. That we may be fully sanctified and ultimately glorified in Him. How He...

You need to read my posts properly. You half read them, scan them quickly, fail to understand where I'm coming from and what I'm saying, jump to a conclusion and criticise me then agree with what I was actually saying all along. SMH. wondering now if you've done that with others here.

KJV Philippians 2 A Christian's Obligations 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. KJV 2 Peter 1 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that...

Where in scripture does it say that we must have a perfect and correct understanding of the Godhead in order to be ultimately saved? I don't agree with the JW concepts either. But God judges them according to righteous judgement... God will judge them according to stuff I know nothing about...

@Joseph77 2000 years ago Jesus gave His life for all mankind. All men and women, past, present, and future, were at that time, justified by the blood of the Lamb. You, me, even Jehovah Witnesses. Now of course that doesn't necessarily mean everyone goes to heaven, or the new Earth because we...

You are skewing the discussion in a direction where it fits with your angst against churches. No one was promoting the idea that works contribute in any way toward our justification. No one.That is a straw man. The discussion was whether or not or salvation is conditional or unconditional. You...

Well said. My perspective exactly. Even less do churches have the right to disfellowship anyone or refuse membership to anyone because they don't dare attempt to offer a definition of the Godhead as a dogma to be accepted.
