    Farewell

    Dear Brethren, I believe it is time for me to leave this forum. I am happy to have been able to converse with you on many topics. It has been instructive and I have learned a lot. I think the moderators are very good people and I have no ill will towards anyone that I have met here. May...

    Wait! It does not specifically say that!

    Dear All, Someone was saying that "Strong Delusion" was only mentioned specifically about the antichrist. Ergo, is suppose, it could not apply to anything else. I got to thinking about that and here is where I think the fallacy of such thinking lays. If I am describing, for example...

    Harmonizing most rapture views

    Dear All, trying to understand any doctrine it is good to stand back and gain God’s perspective. As I mentioned in some of my previous posts understanding Gods word is often hindered by a type of scriptural myopia that some develop when they get bogged down in the minutia of His word. In my...

    Of Fox Holes and Doctrinal Machine Guns

    Dear All, When speaking to people about the Bible I have noticed that some refuse to move an inch from their viewpoints and merely machine gun you with doctrinal bullets every time you seem to threaten their position. I encounter this type of behavior all the time and it seems that people...

    Unto You It Is Given

    Dear All, It is written, “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.“ Mark 4:11 Even the very disciples of Jesus could not understand what He said unless it was revealed to...

    Strong Delusion

    Dear All, In the futuristic movie, entitled, “The Matrix”, Morpheus says, “”Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? ” Later he adds...

    Signs

    Dear All, I woke up this morning thinking about signs. It came to me, through revelation, that whenever God shows up there are signs present. It is written, “It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and...

    The Powers of the World To Come

    Dear All, I have a revelation that I would like to share with you all that is very encouraging. It is written, "And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come" Hebrews 6:5 "That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness...

    Spiritual Tyranny

    Spiritual Tyranny “Those who remain silent as spiritual tyranny grows become the foot soldiers of their own destruction.” Justin Mangonel

    Spiritual Experiences

    Dear All, God is the creator. Everything that has ever existed, does exist, and will exist is a creation of our Father. No one else creates anything. Satan has created nothing except, perhaps, sin. Sin, though, is not really a creation but merely a departure from the will of God. So it is...

    Is It Proper To Quote Ghandhi When Talking About Biblical Topis?

    Dear All, Recently, I wrote a blog about humility. Admittedly it is difficult to even talk about humility without sounding prideful but nevertheless I attempted to do so. As I wrote I found myself quoting Gandhi. I really admire what he was able to accomplish and felt that his words were...

    Must scripture be quoted to "prove" what is true?

    Dear All, Is it necessary to quote scripture when stating a truth? Does scripture make the truth any truer? Blessings, Justin

    Revelatin and Truth

    I believe that, "All truth is given through revelation from God." And, "Outside God given revelation there is no truth." The mistake that many make is that they believe that they can somehow come to knowledge of the truth independent of God. Like the Bible is some vast puzzle they just need...

    Is Being Matriarchal Antichrist?

    Dear All, It is my position that matriarchy is antichrist. I believe that patriarchy is ordained by God and is the way that He wishes the world to be run…particularly between men and women and within their families. If one looks to American history it seems to me that when women won the...

    Into Africa

    Dear All, I have been in East Africa for a few weeks and things are interesting to say the least. Besides having a touch of malaria eveything is progressing well. I was by Lake Victoria speaking in one of our churches about Divine Love and it was recieved very well. Last time I was there it...

    Is It Proper to Limit God?

    Dear All, I really don't know where the origins of this church wide movement to limit God came from. It really goes against the biblical pattern. Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament God has always been doing new and unprecedented things. Some even go so far as to say miracles have...

    The Top Ten Reasons I Love The Spiritual Fulfillment Of The Feast Of Tabernacles

    Here are my top ten reasons that I love the spirtual fulfillment of Tabernacles. This is certainly not an exhaustive list and your list, of course, may differ. 10. Tabernacle Love cured me of Legalism 9. Tabernacle Love taught me to obey God rather than man 8. Tabernacle Love taught me...

    Are You My Brother?

    It is common to find that Christian believers are somewhat apathetic about the plight of those they meet simply due to the fact that their own lives are often filled with difficulty and turmoil. After all, when you smash your thumb with a hammer you're not going to be thinking about anyone's...

    Caution

    Dear All, When should we seek to expose each other's doctrines and teachings to the general public? Is it always our duty to become an accuser of our brethren because we disagree with them doctrinally? What spirit should we have if we do so? What does it mean to preach a Christ of...

    Why is Hell Eternal?

    Dear All, I believe that hell is eternal because it was made before this creation and exists outside of it. It was created to be a punishment for Lucifer and those angels that followed him in the great rebellion. Therefore, even when this cosmos is destroyed it will still exist because it is...
