Hi GB,

More on your false INTELLECT theory?

It is opposed to spiritual matters.

Hi GB,

Your ideas do not rate alongside the sacred words

Self promotion is anathema.

Hi KW,

Whom do we serve?

Relationships with civil authorities are specified in the scriptures but you wish to spread the mission to encompass the world?

Hi GB,

The mouth reveals what the heart is full of.

You show your own ideas instead of what is scriptural so perhaps you should reflect on this.

Hi Ed,

The acts 17 verse shows who are called.

The other two show who are chosen.

Hi mila,

Jesus holds the keys to Death and Hades suggesting Death in this context is perhaps the bosom of Abraham?

Hi mila,

Yes KW is right.

That explains why Hades and Death can be cast in the lake of fire once their roles have expired at Judgement

Hi,

Hi,

The way of Jesus is to submit to God and repent, be cleansed and filled with the Spirit, appointed unto service to Jesus Christ and His Father.

Hi KW,

Peter saw told this three times before he met the gentiles in Acts 10

Acts 10.15

“What God has cleansed no longer consider unholy”

God cleansed them and they were ready to be infilled with the Spirit.

Hi ED,

Acts 17

“…God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent because he has fixed a day in which he will judge the world…”

2Tim 2.25

‘…if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth..”

Acts 11.18

“..God has granted them the repentance that leads to life..”

Hi ED,

Is anyone not welcome?

Are not all called?

Only those given the grace of repentance can come.

Hi KW,

If you are a self appointed fount of wisdom does that make all others fools?

Hi ED,

Many fish are gathered into the net but not all are kept.

Hi Mila,

All who have been led by the Spirit that they were given have become living sons of God.

The Spirit will not leave them and will not die so how could they die?

Hi ED,

Do you think it is wise to selectively use verses to support a dogmatic view?

Should scripture not be free to teach us?

Hi KW,

Rebirth from above is not the completion of the plan but the new starting point.

We are gifted with an earnest of the Spirit and it is up to us to ensure that investment produces a profit for our Master.

Hi KW,

Read Rom 6 again and you will see that baptism is immersion in the death of Jesus.

It is in the giving of the Spirit of life that we are raised to eternal life with him.
