I believe that for me, two of the most basic scriptures that reveal the workings of God are:2Cor.5:18    Yet all is of God, …    -and-Eph.1:11     God is operat…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 08 2007,16:00)Hi 94, You say”Nick: Your comment was “that all will be resurrected”.  My understanding is that those wicked dead before Jesus ministry have already been judged and will not be resurrected to incur further judgement based on the foregoing scriptures.” When did this judgement occur as shown in scripture?Hi…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 08 2007,10:51)For 94Hi Nick:I reviewed this and while our born again experience is indeed a resurrection from the dead, I don't believe that this is the first resurrection described in Revelation 20:5, but it is what is commonly called the rapture. I have given my understanding under the thread of judgment.Thanks for…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 08 2007,09:57)Hi 94, Indeed . But that judgement of reward for the sons of God is shown before the general and second judgement which is after the millenium.Hi Nick:”When” is another subject.  I'll have to study what is said about the millenium before I can discuss this.God Bless

Hi WJ:You say:Yeshua lives in us, we dont live in each other. (If Yeshua lives in “us”, that would mean that we are obeying the same Word of God, and so, the “we” should be the Word of God that we are applying to our daily lives, therefore, yes, we do live in each other in that sense)Ga 2:20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 07 2007,15:44)Hi 94, Thanks.This how I see it.The Spirit of man is of the breath of God and returns to God at death The direct cause of Adam's death was surely not the partaking of the knowledge of Good and Evil but the decision of God to exclude him from Eden and to his preclusion from partaking of the tree of life.
