That we might better follow Jesus' examples in all things.

Hi Nick,No, I don't mean that. I only mentioned Daniel because of the specific word written of him. A prayer of David: Psalm 17:15:”As for me I shall see your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awaken in your likeness.”Only God and possibly Yeshua know for sure who would partake of the first resurrection, but we have been…[Read more]

I'd like to add this obvious fact that it is not the act of water baptism that saves a sinner. It is the faith we have in Jesus that leads us to repentence and salvation and the subsequent baptisms of water and spirit. Anyone can jump into a body of water and come out but that wouldn't save them. And without believing in Christ, one cannot have…[Read more]

Good assessment, Nick.But let's talk about the Sword of the Spirit:When Satan tempted Christ in the wilderness, he used the Sword of the Spirit (Word of God). He used it by realigning, reestablishing his footing on that foundation, so to speak and not budging from it to the left or to the right. He knew the word of God and rightly divided and…[Read more]

I agree with both Is 1:18 and Nick's original post with some variances on both:I agree with Nick in that I think there would be one judgment/Tribunal only (GWTJ), leading to salvation or condemnation based on whose name is found in the Book of Life.  Though I don't expect everyone would be there as some would have already be in the First…[Read more]

Thanks, Nick.Now how shall we reconcile Romans 14 to the Observance of Biblical Feasts if one is not required to observe the Sabbath, etc?

Yes, Nick. I edited my post with regards to Seal #6. I don't think those cosmic changes have occurred yet and they would be observable. I was thinking of the Servants of God being sealed when I said #6 would not necessarily be observable.Don't have any insight to add about the two witnesses yet.

And we see the more amazing foretelling of these things. The system has a tight grip on the situation. Just about everyone has heard about Jesus but this is the Trinitarian Jesus, rather than the Son of God and Lord of creation. Thus not everyone has heard the gospel. Not even in the churches. How shall they hear without a preacher? What…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Mar. 30 2005,08:22)Hi Cubes,No in the sense that the tribulation events (4-19)are yet unfulfilled. The precurser to the tribulation starting is a contract (decree) is signed btwn Israel and the antichrist:Daniel 927And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice…[Read more]

I have no idea. But something tells me that some of the answers may be found in Genesis during the creation week. Also the institution of passover in the OT established some dates and times which might be helpful.

We brought Mongo home late Saturday night after many hours of travel.  We were exhausted.  I have been busy working on housebreaking him since.These Newfs are strange.  He often times falls asleeps on his back like a person or a bear.  He looks like a baby bear in fact.  His favorite place to sleep is on a bed of snow, so that when I take him out…[Read more]

Nick, I think what I meant initially as relates to this subject has to do with whether or not a christian can become inadvertently Satan focused through spiritual warfare, rather than be steadfastly Christ focused.One can spend all his time rebuking the devil, blaming him for this and that, putting out so many fires he'll happily start to keep us…[Read more]

Quote (Guest @ Mar. 28 2005,08:23)Hi Cubes,The book is called Revelation, not Revelations. The name is a reference to the unveiling of one Jesus Christ.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 28 2005,21:32)Hi cubes, I agree. It is also clear that there is opposition to the true gospel by those who have received a different one. That is antichrist in action.Sadly enough, it's true. Proponents of the Trinitarian Doctrine don't realize it is antiChrist in nature. I just found out not too long ago myself.

I have heard that there are two kinds of tongues and it seems reasonable:1. One for edification of the self in prayer so that it needn't be public and in fact, ought to be private since noone else understands it or is edified by it. I believe Paul makes that point.2. Then there is the Acts 2 occurrence which led to the salvation of 3000 because…[Read more]

This verse came to mind when I read the posts in this thread:Psa 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say , whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;We know that if we die with him then we shall also live with him (2 Tim 2:11), and we are confident in his ability to keep us. So yes, we have a certain assurance and peace but we are still…[Read more]
