That is for the goats after the judgementHi Nick:I don't believe that I am confused.  Judgment in the NT era is reserved unto the last day,”Jhn 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 05 2009,10:26)Hi 94, You say”My understanding is that those in the OT era from the beginning until Jesus who were not saved have already been judged, and are dead.  The will not be resurrected to incur further judgment in the second resurrection.” I believe scripture does  say any who have ever lived will  be re…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 05 2009,10:22)Hi 94, You are right in that even Mt 25 saves those who express faith in God and Jesus some simple way by helping christians. Motive still remains important and it must express faith as whatever is not of faith is of sin.So humanism is excluded.Hi Nick:I believe that these verses will help in understanding…[Read more]

Hi Georg:You ask pertaining to those prior to the ministry of Jesus :Quote In my going back and forth with Nick, I may have been not clear of whom I was speaking.My question, “how will they get their name into the book of life”, I was referring to all those that lived before Christ, or else never heard of him. Jesus is the proptiation for the sins…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ May 01 2009,23:10)Hi brother Marty,Thanks for your concern for me and my family here. We all are doing well. Hope things are well with you too. I appreciate your replies to my post. But the problem here is our Bible is not coming in black and white as you quoted that Jesus is only the literal Son of God or begotten directly of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 30 2009,15:30)Hi 94, Why does everyman assume the personal right to declare what is literal and what is not?And so, every thing that is written in the book of Revelation is literal?Love in Christ,Marty

Georg asked:Quote MartyShow me how you would go about proving a rapture?!Although the word “rapture” is not in the scriptures, this is the word that is commonly used in reference to what is described by the following scriptures:Quote 1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,…[Read more]

Hi Georg:You ask:Quote By Yahshua you mean Jesus? Yes, I mean Jesus.I do not believe that the verse of scripture that states that heaven and earth flee is literal but is symbolic portraying the wrath of God.Love in Christ,Marty

Hi Brother Kerwin:About this discussion:Quote Quote  We are sons of God by the Spirit of adoption. That Spirit is called both the Spirit of Sonship and the Spirit of Christ.  Since it makes us sons then how much more does it make Jesus The Son since it is through him that those that believe are made sons.My point is that Jesus is in the unique p…[Read more]

Quote (gollamudi @ April 29 2009,20:13)Hi brother Marty,God is not flesh and blood. He can not part take in our flesh and blood. He can only beget His children by His Spirit which is His very nature. So Jesus can not be His literal flesh and blood son. St Paul says that Jesus was Son of David according to flesh but not of God. See Rom 1:1-3Peace…[Read more]

Hi Georg:Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Hi:The body of Christ is the Holy Temple of God. The Father, himself, has no flesh nor blood. God is a Spirit. God's seed is His Word, and the scripture states “And the Word became flesh”, therefore, the Son is God's own flesh and blood in the person of the Son.Love in Christ,Marty

Hi:In a personal experience, God has shown me that all men born or the sperm of man is the seed of unrighteousness in that all men have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.Therefore, Only he who is the Only Begotten Son of God has overcome sin and death. No, Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus. The scripture states:Quote Mat 1:20…[Read more]
