We must go to the same church, we're covering the same stuff. Sadly, most preachers and teachers, speak of then rather than now...of abiding, rather than actually pressing on. They get flowery with talk of the spirit, only to return to the matters of the world and the flesh. Just this morning...

Oh greaaaaat, another rapture thread! The Great Apostasy 2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of...

All things point to us "knowing" God in spirit, for He is spirit. Likewise, our relationship with Christ is not complete until we "see Him as He is", which again, is spirit. Therefore, if we do not lay down our life in the flesh as He did (as completely given to God), then we cannot be raised...

Yes. All things, including scripture, come in parables and are a fore-shadowing of the truth on high - and it has been given to the children of God to see it.

Indeed, what communion has light with this darkness? But, for those who will witness this behavior of what darkness does when light appears, let it be known that it is not the word of God that is being preached here, but rather the word of God is being used to hinder the going forth of the...

I was being nice, but you force my hand with condescension. It is the "feelings of others" that prompts me to call you on the carpet: You will always have the poor (Mark 14:7), but "you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you...

He comes as He promised: "quickly" to every generation, for life passes quickly. So, then, we wait, not upon His coming, but upon our own ability to bear the more He had to say: John 16:12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

I think you may as well give up - she has the face of an angel. :) ...Just kidding. Render what is fashion to fashion, and unto God what is God's.

I see. However, I must say, I am disappointed. I would have thought during these times when God has said He would pour out His spirit upon all flesh, that the priority would be to get the spiritual truth, to "press on", rather than rehash the life and times of the first Adam. As you will then.

The timelessness of God is self-evident. In time we must consider that He is "the same yesterday, today, and forever", and yet "changes not." But, it is "changes not" that tells us the greater truth - for all of creation changes in time. Even so, His kingdom "is not of this world" (of time)...

@Webers_Home ... No replies to comments then, just more of the same?

Yes, right now. These are the days of which it is written of Christ's reign upon the earth. As for the Jews: Yes, they are dead to the dead, but alive to the living. Which is why I said, "if you can receive it." The living have been raised up with Christ, which is the first resurrection. But...

No, you are still speaking of the "call" to repentance, not to salvation. Salvation is a gift from God. We cannot choose it - it is He whom chooses us. These scriptures you have quoted all address those who are called to "change" through repentance and be found of Him doing His will. The...

They are Israel, those to whom were given the promise of Messiah, and yet died before He sent the Holy Spirit whom gives life from God. Having died with Him in his death upon the cross, they are with Him in death, but not alive with Him until He comes again. Which, if you can receive it, has...

No, you have not defined "salvation", but rather have defined "faith" and "hope", which are the words used in the text you quoted. Nonetheless, we two cannot joust with scripture against scripture to prove our own understanding. If what we believe does not align with and reconcile with all...

Thank you. This is as the belief of which Lord Jesus spoke, a testimony of believing without seeing, with confidence that grows into a knowing relationship...and rightly so, for, just as He promised, He has not left us, but is with us. But, that you should know that your faith is not in vain by...

Is that the only answer you could come up with? You have not made your intentions clear. But have gone fishing with an assignment for anyone who will bite. What is it that you are really trying to say here? Go ahead - get it off you chest. Why? What is this all about? Please explain what it is...

That's the great thing about having the Holy Spirit...you are in the loop, and have the mind of Christ, the spirit of prophecy.

This puts the cart in front of the horse. It is because a person does the will of the Father that he is saved. Therefore, if that person has done the will of the Father, there is no problem. You have purposed a hypothetical that only has one possible outcome, but have asserted the impossible...

Hear, hear!
