Christ was the firstfruits – how can Abraham be raised from the dead before Christ?

The gospel that Jesus preached is his actual death and his actual resurrection from the dead by the Spirit of God – when he died he was dead, not a spirit wandering around talking to other disembodied spirits of Noahs generation about how they had been selected/elected to receive mercy above all others who had died both before and after Jesus…[Read more]

The judgement is not about some individuals being with God and others not being with God it is about Jesus being resurrected by the Spirit being the first born of the dead – the reason the gospel was preached to the dead is that they are judged as men in the flesh and are raised by the spirit. The Spirit is about life (spiritual life) The…[Read more]

Nick What is flesh is flesh – if you sow to the flesh you reap destruction – Jesus came to save the lost Matt 18:11  For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.Mat 18:12How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that…[Read more]

I agree that the wrath of God abides on the unblieving while they are unbelieving however what scripture says is that upon repentance and obedience mercy is shown, it says mercy endures forever – God is calling an elect – the elect will rule with Jesus, and the point of ruling is not to torment for eternity – the mercy that is shown to us is to be…[Read more]

Nick,Yes men are judged – 1 Peter 4:1-6Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;1Pe 4:2That he no longer should live the rest of time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.1Pe 4:3For the time past of…[Read more]

Georg,When Jesus sent the disciples into the world to make disciples that is exactly where the 10 lost tribes had already been dispersed – I am wondering if the gathering of the elect after the tribulation of 70AD is the same as the making of disciples over the last 2000 years?

Hi Jodi,Thanks for the welcome.

Indeed Nick, All the rubbish that you and I and all sinners (all have sinned) will be disposed of – when you accept Christ as saviour he helps to clean you if you follow him and learn truth and dispose of the anger, jealously, eminations, vanities – we do it now (and don't suffer the second death) or it is done after Christs coming.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 08 2008,05:11)Hi Jodi, You should not confuse the refining fire of testing of God's people with the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Indeed no sin is allowed within the city gates of spiritual Jerusalem.Gehenna is the rubbish tip forever smoudering outside those city gates.Nick,Gehenna is the rubbish…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 08 2008,04:29)Hi Jodi, oops i meant to quote you but deleted by mistake.God is not willing that any should perish. Indeed He is a God of love and wants all to be saved. But there are requirements. all must repent2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans,…[Read more]

Quote (Jodi @ Dec. 08 2008,03:38)God is going to destroy ALL sin in the world. According to the scriptures He is not going to accomplish this by killing off sinful people, but through His Great intelligence and His Longsuffering towards us, He is going to destroy the sin that is IN us.Amen!!!

Thanks for the welcome Nick,I am bewaring of the roaring lion and am trusting in my saviour. He is keeping me safe and I trust his guidance.

Gene,I have been thinking that Satan, serpent, dragon, devil is not just one being but the adversary which is present in everyone and is a testing of everyone. When it says that the lake of fire was prepared for the devil and his messengers (angels) I believe that is what it is for, not physical mortal beings being tormented forever,  it is our…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Dec. 07 2008,12:23)meekat………I just remembered, when Jacob wrestled with the angle and prevailed with him by not letting go, is when His mane was changed to Israel , (prevail or overcomer) at least thats what i was told years ago. The overcomers are the Israel of GOD. Not sure though.peace……………geneGene,I…[Read more]

I agree, I am coming to the conclusion that the name of God (Yahweh) and Jesus (Yahshua) is important.However just knowing the names is not going to save anyone, but it is part of seeking the truth. God is a title and someone who uses that title can be acknowledging and worshipping Yahweh while not having a knowledge of his personal name. When…[Read more]

Hi Gene,I'm actually a sister   ……  I do agree with you that our wills are limited, some go to the other extreme and say that we have no control over what we do, I believe that it is more of a mid point where we have a choice of good or evil and the overcoming is choosing good over evil.  When i said “free” will – you are correct I was me…[Read more]

Thank you Tiffany,I believe that many have already been following “Satan” over the last 2000 years, what was the inquistions, etc all about? certainly not about being led by the Holy Spirit. Also all the denominations and different theologies can not be about being led of the Holy Spirit if they contradict each other.  It seems to me that we do…[Read more]

What I believe is the remnant that is saved is the spirit – we must be born again (conceived of the Holy Spirit) to inherit the kingdom of God, what is flesh is flesh and does not inherit the kingdom of God.It is a remnant of everyone that is saved –  spirit saved, flesh destroyedIn this age we can overcome and be born into the Kingdom of God and…[Read more]
