Dear Der Alte, "Fire" is the spiritual symbol for Christ's judgment. The Lake of Fire is Christ's judgment for everyone except the First-Fruits who have already been judged. They are judged in this present age. 1Pe 4:17 For it is the ripe time for the judgment to begin with the house of God...

Dear Der Alte, The correct translation of Micah 5:2 is from the ESV: Mic 5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days. As I said...

Dear Der Alte, You said: John 3:15-16 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. In these two verses Jesus defines...

Dear Der Alte, Not matter how long a believer studies scripture, it is of little value without "eyes that can see". "Eyes" means to have a spiritual understanding of scripture. Without that ability, the Word of God (Christ) will remain concealed. All Early Rain believers are spiritually...

Dear John, Here is the correct translation of the verse you quoted: Micah 5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past. The Hebrew word that the KJV translates...

Dear John, You said: You supplied the word Father. It's not there. Revelation 3:14 (AV) 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Who else could have created Jesus? The Father...

Dear JohnD, You said: Hebrews 10:5 (NIV84) 5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; Note the verse says when Christ came into the world he said (coming from heaven in preexistence). Jesus pre-existed this...

Dear spiritfilledjm, I want to comment on some of your statements and ask you one question at the end of this post. You said: #2 and #3 Peter commanded them to be baptized because Jesus commanded His disciples to baptize. As far as why Peter said specifically in the name of Jesus Christ, again...

Dear JohnD, I agree with most of what you stated. Especially when you said "there is only one creation of God the Father (John 1:14 / Hebrews 1:5 / Hebrews 10:5). The rest are creations of God the Son" and "he is not a descendant of the first Adam but is in fact the prototype of his own human...

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST... You said: The latter rain did not start at Pentecost that was the early rain as stated by James. he says in Chapter four they have received the spirt but then in chapter five he says be patient for God still will have the later rain. Meaning they are the early...

Dear Just the Facts, You said: This is the study of Eschatology not salvation. 90 % of the churches listed below all see the only way to salvation is through our Lord Jesus Christ. In my mind they are all valued witnesses for Jesus. The true understanding of Eschatology teaches the pathway to...

Dear YHWH, I agree with your comments but I want to take them a step farther. Two or three witnesses of scripture are likewise required to prove a truth. Here is where Christ taught this: Luke 22:35-38 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye...

Dear Just the facts, Though parts of what you presented are accurate, you are missing the core of Daniel's prophecy. His prophecy's true meaning is presented to us in Christ's spiritual language . And the prophecy is certainly about Christ and His work to "bring in everlasting righteousness"...

Dear Jiminz, 1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. If we are "in Christ", we are no longer under the Law and therefore, the Law can no longer accuse us. Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Here...

Dear Mark, Since scripture clearly says that God created mankind, He created our minds, too. Then within our minds, He causes our thoughts, beliefs and decisions. All things are of God and from God. Is this statement more to your liking? Prov 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and...

Dear Mark, The scriptural definition of sin is "missing the mark". Also, God does not tempt but He did create Satan and uses him to do the tempting. 1 Sam 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. Judg 9:23 Then God sent an evil...

Dear 3 Resurrections, Yes, mankind is born spiritually "dead", but that means we do not have a relationship with God. Adam's sin broke off our relationship with God and that "death" was passed down to all his offspring: Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them...

Dear Mark, I have heard your reasoning before about "ra" not being translated as "evil" but as "calamity". However, all things come from God and are created by God. Everything in existence comes from God. He causes evil to come into existence, therefore it is proper to say He created evil as...

Dear 3 Resurrections, You said: This is not true. God does not originate evil. We know that God can utilize evil once it materializes, as in "making the wrath of men to praise him", but in Him there is "no darkness at all". Why to you believe that God can't create "evil"? There is "no...

Dear Saint Steven, Yes, without a doubt I believe Christ is the Savior of the world. You and I had a conversation a few months ago. I guess you don't remember me. I remember that you are one of the few people which I have met on the forum that can see the truth of Ultimate Redemption. I...
