    Rapture is not in the Bible

    Being that "the kingdom of God is within you", it should come as no surprise that when we are "caught up", we don't actually go anywhere. So...since we don't actually go anywhere...the rapturous experience should be viewed more as the mind-blowing "change" that it is also said to be. We "go"...

    Consider the fruit.

    The seriousness here...is that we are betting our life on the path we chose to follow. I feel most fortunate to have come into a sure knowledge of God directly without having to weed through all the phonies, the would-be garbage, and even the well-meaning near misses. I think that it is...

    What are we today?

    I would say that the distinction between "sheep/lambs" and "sons", is more a matter of whether or not one is "born again of the spirit of God." If "born again", then "sons." If "seeking" and "hearing", then "sheep/lambs." "Where are we today?" ...That puts us in the "times of the gentiles", the...

    Yes, it is obvious the it makes no sense to you. But if God says, "I am", do you not understand? Because I said "Truth is", which is the same thing, only applied to your issue of who to believe. I was trying to help. So, then, I have only to conclude that you don't like input from me, or from...

    I take that back - it was MILLIONS, and now there is a book about it. Just throwing Jesus back'atcha.

    Mary, if I may... It is not our prerogative to "decide." Truth "is." If we choose it, it sets us free. If we choose untrue, we remain captive, unable to "know" what is correct and what is not. So, then, if we are not free and do not know, but merely "believe", it is because we have yet to come...

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    Indeed. You continue to insist on your misunderstanding of the scriptures, not in context, and apparently the way you want to see things as opposed to the way they are written. But there is no personal interpretation. So, yes, go as you will.

    No, not according to Jesus, but according to your misunderstanding. He too prayed before thousands. And now what you have done to me, you have also done to Him.

    Carnal Christians ?

    The children of folly are many, but the children of Abraham even more, like the sand on the seashore.

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    Not so. Again, you misunderstand and misquote Paul. He did not say "if" being of the Spirit we then walk in the flesh - but rather, "if" we are of the Spirit, we have "put to death the deeds of the body" and therefore, we "are sons of God." He states the facts of those who "are led by the...

    You treat me as one who went out to pray - but, no, I did not go out to pray, but did so in the way where I was confronted. But woe to you, for having followed in observance of what is true and what is not and what is hateful, you defend the hateful, and take up the name of the Father in vain.

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    I wouldn't know about OSAS believers. But you misunderstand. Paul is not saying "if" one walks after the flesh or not...he is stating a fact referring to: "them...who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." You have much to learn about the times: "but now, once at the end of the ages...

    John 13:35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” :(

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given themto Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.” Thank you!

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    Okay, you're not tracking with your own example of a parable...so forget the parable, it didn't prove your point anyway. When a person is "saved" they are not in some "wait upon the Lord" stasis until the final judgement, they are "a new creation." "The old man" cannot be recovered (if it were...

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    Show you a "commentary"? No. "One" servant was not my point. Obviously you are missing things. ... My point was that the parable is not about one [faithful] servant. No, I do not, because He speaks of them not yet having received "their portion...in due season." Their portion, as it is with all...

    Carnal Christians ?

    "Christian" covers a lot of divers persons: There are those who are new "followers" of Christ who are only "seeking" and otherwise are not committed. These are carnal. There are those who have committed all, but have yet to receive the Holy Spirit. These are carnal. There are those who follow a...

    I offered a quote you asked for. You denied asking for a "quote." I quoted you asking for a "quote." Still you deny it. Now you change the subject and refer to me as "dense." Father, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you deliver this one to Satan for the destruction of the...
