When God created man he made him perfect.
But he gave man free will by placing two trees in the garden.
Unfortunately, man chose to go against God.
But God had a plan from before the foundation of the world where the lamb would be slain if this ever happened. Thus, it was prophesied that he would die. When you think about it, someone was going…[Read more]

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hi Berean and All,
I want to point out that it is ONLY in the making of man into the image of God that we see an “us” and an “our”.

Hi Desire Truth,
My understanding I believe is similar if not the same as Gene’s.
The “us” represents His Spirit(s). I first thought as well as you did that He might have been talking about the angels, but in reading that God says that He created earth and man upon it by Himself I realized that then didn’t fit.
I think it’s interesting that…[Read more]

@ Gene,
Not familiar with the “seven spirits of God” teaching as you have summarized; please provide a little more background (ie scripture references). I don’t need a book explanation, just pointed in the “right” direction so I know where to begin the study. I do my own research so as not to cloud my thinking or have doctrinal bias implanted.
Thanks

Proclaimer……..There exists no such thing as a Will, being free itself, or it would not be called a will, now would it? , Free will, is an OXYMORON, because no such thing exists.
Wills are driven desires, nothing free about it., Jesus said (not me), pray like this, “OUR Father who art in heaven, the kingdom come “THY WILL” , be done…[Read more]

Why free will is essential
God hands over some of his power to individuals. It is called free will. Without free will, there can be no love as love is a choice. If you are Miia replied to the topic Space Happenings in the forum Prophetic News & Eschatology 3 years, 2 months ago

It would be nice if you explained to us from the Bible (one verse explaining another) that we are at the end of the thousand years.

I confirm that all the biblical texts proving the preexistence and the divinity of Christ have been given for a long time.
It is a matter of faith in the true text of the Holy Bible.🙏
