What can I say Samual but – Let it be!May the undeserved kindness of our Lord be with youRS

High NickI try to asume nothing. But you are right, the final place of men will be the earth as it always has been. BUT THOSE WHO WERE ONCE MEN WILL ENTER HEAVEN. The mansions and rooms are God's by the way as our Lord himself said: 1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many roo…[Read more]

Hi David,Me thinks you have been copping a roasting while I have been away having Nick pull a log out of my eye, getting a haircut and also watering his camel. However, the scripture he quotes above I indeed intended to discuss with you. Now the point is that while the man who approached was a jew under the law, Our Lord was telling him that if he…[Read more]

Greetings NickSo you say “Scripture rather offers us in Jesus the mansions of Christ till we who are in him return to rule and reign with him on earth . Well, I see how a person could come to such a conclusion. And no, I don't think I would cancel your “brother” status with me over it. Yes, one day every place in creation will be our Fathers…[Read more]

Hi Samual And BTI hear what you are saying BT, and although I will probably be bombarded by all the scripture lawyers around here for saying this, the Apostles and deciples could say 'The kingdom of God is near you' and the like in all honesty because it would be established when the Lord died. At that point it existed and all authorities became…[Read more]

Obviously not it!

Greetings David, Kerwin & NickFirstly, I would like to clear up the matter of Nick's beliefs. For he began a topic called “The Scapegoat”, where he initially showed a certain reticence to declair his beliefs, but just fired back quarzi related scriptures. Now I won't go into it for it is all there for everybody to see, But David has made this…[Read more]

Hi NickYou mention the principle of 2Cor 13:1. Firstly, it refers to the necessity for the witness of two or three to be necessary to establish a “CHARGE”, that is an accusation. I am not accusing anybody of anything. But I have given you a number of scriptures that I believe support a proposition, one of which from an Apostle that tells us that…[Read more]

Regards David and Nick, and othersNick, I will leave the quoting of scripture mostly to you, for you do well on the behalf of the Holy Ones in this regard. But David, I do not mean Nick is not a Holy One but that he is a particular Holy One doing a particular service in behalf of his Lord and holy brothers in this instance. He is also right when…[Read more]

Greetings BTYes BT, I do like you in a funny sort of texty way. RS

Greetings David and AllI agree with Kerwin and 942767 and GB and, err, Nick. (Now that wasn't hard self was it!) Those who have the Spirit are all Holy Ones, and those who do not or do not yet are not. This applies to now and to the congregations in the 1st century. For the Lord said “You must seek the Kingdom first”, both first before any thing…[Read more]

Hi NickI have shown you scriptures that say God has offered these angels mercy, but on certain conditions – that they accept Christ as Lord thus severing any ties to Satan they may or may not have had. Now I do not know their decision, for the scriptures do not tell me. However, if they rejected the word of our Lord then they will be judged…[Read more]

Greetings AllYou are right 942767. We will commit sins until we die in this tent and temporary dwelling, but in my experience less and less so as the Spirit teaches and corrects us. But it is our flesh that continues to sin in its efforts to satisfy it's hungers and lusts. He who is born again has had his sins prior to that point erased with the…[Read more]

Greetings Nick, Kerwin and others,Now I have resisted the urge to enter the discussion on THE GOSPEL for fear of being battered around the head again with scripture after scripture, all to no avail towards agreement, which is vanity. However, I have been listening within myself and have come to the conclusion that I must say to you things as I see…[Read more]

Hi NickNow Now, it was you who placed this scripture:Do angels receive pardon?2 Peter 2:4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And as I said, they were not and still have not been “terminated”. What is so difficult to understand about…[Read more]

Greetings KerwinWe had been discussing the acceptability my baptism over a few posts after you invited me here from “context”, which raised the question of whether or not I had indeed received Holy Spirit. As a result, I offered to demonstraight my belief that I had in a post on the 26th, as follows:< Now I have something for Kerwin as a…[Read more]

Greetings Samual and BTYou sly old dog BT (LOL), using my own vanity against me to lure me back into the arguement like that – OK, I'm Guilty!However, I agree with Sam on all things in this matter. I read what the many preterists believe about our age now in a synopsis on a page on another site, for I can find nothing about such a thing in my…[Read more]

Hi NickAbout 2 Peter 2:4, I for mine place the emphasis on “Judgement”, that is, they are YET to be judged. So, why did he not destroy them then and there if angels will not have the potential to be forgiven. There is no other possible reason for our Lord to have visited them – perhaps to check that their chains were tight enough? Now I'm not…[Read more]
