Who Are The Children Of God?

Every human being on the face of this earth

In my view of things :)-
That was the hope, but it is not so or all the people who are under Satan's power, would then be so but they are not, because they are of there Father the Devil, now that does not mean that such under Satan's influence are always seen as bad people, but that they are lost and under the powers of Sin, they may be seen to be as good, but Satan can come across as an Angel of light to the unbelievers who can only see things in a worldly way, for they do not have the Holy Spirit within them. such will only mock the Holy Spirit.
Anyone who is a Socialist has a foundation built on a works based and is always not in tune with the Holy Spirit but of only mans works.
You never see the head of Socialist truly promoting Jesus Christ in history, but they will play any card they can to lead you astray.

I'm Amillennial

If you said that earlier that with the saved us both time.

Amillennialism is extremely spiritualized and figurative, which allows their imaginations to run wild justify anything they want believe.

That is why the Catholics invented it and makes it impossible to prove anything you believe.

And I don't see any contradictions to this.
I can see a complete harmony except where Luke says; "In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back", which also happened in the siege of Jerusalem. This would make the earlier fulfillment a symbol of a similar situation the future.

You do know you are interpreting the same events mentioned in the same contexts to two entirely different periods of time, thousands of years apart, yes? You don't think there might be a problem with that position?

And the Thread title question was: Who are the children of God?
Yet in five pages of posts only 4 posts addressed that question directly. Those who addressed it were:

@tooldtocare


First the children of God come into being where and how?


And then are not the children to become Sons? If so, how?


Good questions...perhaps deserving of its own thread.

God Bless,

Thanks for your interest in this. I went through Mark's and Luke's account last night using the same technique. And both harmonize with Matthew. It really cleans up the loose ends.

LoL. Dave, not ridiculing you for it, just making an observation, but you have a real habit of posting statements without giving any support for them, and I mean you're the king at it.

Think you could maybe elaborate just a little? :)

I was hoping to share this with you. But I think I'll save it for now.

So, you weren't there to hear what Paul told the early church...
...the people who were there testified that Paul told the early church the restrainer was Pagan Rome...
...yet you 2,000 years later are calling those early Christians liars because what they said doesn't fit your Jesuit Futurist narrative?
Saying the roman empire was the restrainer is absurd. It was not omipresent in the world.
The only problem with your claim that the restrainer had to be "omnipresent in the world" is that Paul positively never said that.
Plus, the AC will rule the restored roman empire.
Really? Where does it say that?
Early church fathers, meaning the founders of Catholicism.
The church was relatively pure at the time of these ECFs writing about the restrainer, though corruption was setting in - it wasn't until the 6th century when full blown apostasy - when corrupt men claiming to be leaders of the Christian church joined hands with the pagan state - caused the great wilderness scattering of true church believers and leaders, just like Revelation 12 predicted.

And who called them church fathers? Catholics.

The little horn from the third beast and the ten toes is the AC who will reunite them.

His demon is the deadly wounded head of the beast has seven heads.


Nope, Paul did not say it, but it has to be. How else could lawlessness be restrained worldwide?

Who cares if they were called "Moe, Larry, and Curly"? The point is they lived back then and wrote down what the early church was told by Paul about the identity of the restrainer - that is was Pagan Rome. And as H. Gratten Guinness said, "...no one (including you and I, CoreIssue) in these days can be in a position to contradict its testimony as to what Paul had, by word of mouth only, told the Thessalonians. It is a point on which ancient tradition alone can have any authority. Modern speculation is positively impertinent on such a subject."
The little horn from the third beast and the ten toes is the AC who will reunite them.
Sorry, but the Little Horn is the Antichrist (papacy) which arose among the Ten Horns (ten barbarian divisions of the Roman Empire) and are identical to the Ten Toes of Daniel 2 (Daniel 7 is a "repetition and enlargement of Daniel 2).
His demon is the deadly wounded head of the beast has seven heads.
No, deadly wound to the papacy was caused by Napoleon when after the predicted 1,260 years of papal reign, French general Berthier was sent by Napoleon to arrest and imprison the pope and the papacy was declared dead. This is textbook Protestant Historicism, and you, my friend, are preaching false Jesuit Futurist ideas because you've been seduced by the same lies that have seduced "Protestant" prophecy teachers today, who like you, refuse to acknowledge what the ECFs said about the Restrainer because what they said doesn't fit into their false Jesuit Futurist ideas.
Nope, Paul did not say it, but it has to be. How else could lawlessness be restrained worldwide?
Who said the Man of Sin is "worldwide" while he is restrained? He is only "worldwide" after he arises and reigns over it.

We are to serve God with them out of thankfulness to the cross, not to keep yourself saved. Keeping yourself saved when you're already saved until redemption is twisting scripture and spitting on the cross. God bless
It is Jesus who "keeps us from falling", but only them who "abide in the Vine". A OSAS person who daily deliberately crucifies the Son of God afresh and puts Him to an open shame" refuses to allow Jesus to keep him from falling...and will go to hell for his trouble.
