I did not say that the church will end nor did I say that the God will destroy the earth, but the church, the Holy temple of God will be complete, and the church will meet the Lord in the air according to the scripture.

Hi Ed:

I am not sure that I do agree with that statement:

This is what I believe is meant:

Trying to obey the Law without the Spirit of God dwelling within will kill because it will bring condemnation since you cannot obey the Law without sin, and even with the Spirit of God dwelling within us, we still fall short of perfect obedience, and…[Read more]

Hi Ed:

Matthew 24:
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall…[Read more]

Hi Ed:

I watched most of the video, but it not the first time that I have heard this teaching.

I have given you what I believe that God has taught me through his Word.

Hi Mia:

You say:

Hi Marty.

Do you associate Paul’s use of the word ‘letter’ with law? Why would the law be in opposition to the Spirit if that were the case?

Perhaps Paul meant: Viewing scriptures without the Spirit, (i.e., being too… academic. Relying more on head knowledge than on the Spirit.)

Example, I used to read scriptures only as God…[Read more]

Hi AndrewAD:

You say:

Joseph Smith had the right idea that a book dropped from heaven upon golden tablets should be reliable. I’m not saying the book of Mormon is that but I do give the man credit for all his work and he has built a great big Christian church.

And if God had to use heretics to approve of his  varied man made book-the bi…[Read more]

Hi Ed and Mia:

Just because the prophecy in Ezekiel was a year for each day does not mean that it means that in every prophecy. The abomination of desolation happens just prior will usher in the “great tribulation” and that has not occurred as yet.

This is the scripture:

Matthew 24:

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of…[Read more]

Hi Mia:

Thought I would add the following scriptures to what I have written regarding this subject:

Romans 7:

The Law and Sin
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not c…[Read more]

And this:

Matthew 24:

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand

Daniel 9:

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the…[Read more]

Hi Mia:

The following verses of scripture will explain what is the abomination of desolation:

2 Thes:

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is…[Read more]

Hi Mia:

I believe that the following scriptures will answer your question:

Romans 13

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be…[Read more]

Hi T8:

You say:

You have just explained why he is called the Word of God. He chooses to speak that which the Father says, and does not speak for himself.

At the cross he asked God to remove the cup from him, but not his will but the Father’s will. So he also chooses to do the will of God.

He existed in the form of God, emptied himself, came i…[Read more]

Hi Mia:

But suppose after he has put away his wife he re-marries or has relations with another while she remains single and has not had sexual relations with another since she was divorced?

She would have been able to file for a divorce, according to the Word of the Lord, because in his re-marriage or relations with another, he has committed…[Read more]

Mia:

After praying, I believe that the Word of God means that if a Christian man or woman is divorced by his wife or man through no fault of their own, they should remain unmarried, even though they were not at fault, and hope and pray that the responsible party repents, and re-constitutes the marriage contract, but also, if he should happen to…[Read more]

Marty you are right. But lets look at the first thing on your list: adultery. According to Jesus, anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Hi Mia:

I believe that the stage is being set for those events described in Ezekiel 38.

Love in Christ,
Marty

Hi Mia:

To be a friend of the world is to love those things that the scripture that you quoted from 1 John. We do have needs of the flesh like food, drink, sex etc. but “the lusts of any of these needs of the flesh” would be sin, and the lusts of the eyes, like greed, materialism, and the pride of like rather than humility.

The scriptures state…[Read more]
