Why would my faith and commitment to my faith be seen as intransigence while yours is seen as supporting your integrity??? Double standard much?Sounds like you believe your personal interpretation of scripture is supreme over what anyone else understands about the gospel

But I am not alone but one of many...I have studied theology and scripture a bit more than some others though...That you believe you understand the scripture in ways no one does.

So it's "Reject ME, will you? Burn forever!"They are not beyond redemption as unforgivable because GOD has chosen them to be so out of a fit of pique or meanness but because of their own free will decision to repudiate HIM as their GOD, Saviour and husband.
To me, PCE is of the same nature as so many other notions, such as 'soul-sleep' and "hell is only separation from God". Is it what people come up with on their own (i.e. apart from Scripture) trying to reconcile what to them doesn't otherwise make sense in Scripture. PCE is not necessary to answer any questions, except questions assuming false 'facts'.PCE does NOT support the eternal nature of creation, nor reincarnation but only that all spirits created in HIS image were created at the same time before the creation of the physical universe which we all saw, Job 38:7, which Rom 1:18-20 can be seen to support...
All my scriptures are of the Hidden variety in which the meaning must be inferred from interpretation and context with help from the Holy Spirit...
I do have a full list of orthodox hidden mysteries but it is extensive so I won't post them unless asked or deem it to be necessary.
Such a mysterious presentation of doctrine is the way some of our favourite doctrines were not taught openly but were hidden for centuries:
the Deity of the Messiah,
the teaching that the OT was NOT the end of all scripture, (as per Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.)
that God would incarnate as a man,
that the Messiah would be an intermediary for prayer,
nor any hint of Adamic sin before the NT.
...without even getting into the words for doctrine that we use that are not in scripture: Trinity, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, incarnation, rapture.
So, scriptural doctrine without having a precise scriptural reference is a time honoured procedure, and depends upon rightly dividing the word of truth aka the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
So, there you go...I have many scriptures about Adam being a sinner before Eve, a lot about a new revelation coming in the end days, about people talking about going back to somewhere else, about people knowing ALL the truth, and judgement postponed ec, etc.
Putting this into the context that the PCE has been rejected as a sideline for 4000 years and declared to be a heresy for ç2000 years with the orthodox interpretation having that weight of supported legitimacy, it is no wonder that people can read the same scriptures over and over and never even notice that it has an alternate interpretation from orthodoxy. The concept of our pce is totally absent from consciousness not just foreign...how could anyone see pce in the verses they read unless they learn of it and look for it?
I contend that the sinful elect are responsible for the postponement of the judgment of the Satanic and therefore ARE responsible for the sufferings of sinners on earth - how else could it be when the parable distinctly tells us the angels were ordered NOT to bring the judgment upon the reprobate by pulling them up because that might destroy the sinful but elect good seed also (proving their sinfulness)...ending with the sinful elect having to live with the reprobate weeds under their tender ministrations...oh, I guess I mean the suffering they bring to the world, eh?I don't think very many believe that the elect are responsible for the world's sin or that you get saved without God's help.if I understand you correctly those are your positions.
You do not understand me on this point at all. I am totally orthodox about salvation being by grace alone through faith, not by works and whatever you think you saw in my words as different were a product of your own thinking...you might want to figure out how that happened....or that you get saved without God's help.if I understand you correctly those are your positions.
Hardly, though that is how Satan frames it...So it's "Reject ME, will you? Burn forever!"

Oooooh, a severely spiritual putdown! I'm sure I should be devastated. Now, having got past your obvious spiritual superiority, how is it that that isn't a concise summary of the post to which I was replying? That if anyone has the temerity to not accept God's offer of salvation, even due to complete ignorance of it, then God will chuck them into Hell to be roasted forever. Have I missed some salient point here?Hardly, though that is how Satan frames it...
Wow. So the effect is that by God's design the default for anyone who isn't a Christian is eternal torture.The sin is not unforgivable because HE hates it so much because HE hates all sin equally for its ultimate disvalue to HIS nature! A reprobate who sins the smallest sin goes to hell. An elect who sins the smallest sin puts Christ on the cross.
Sorry, but IMO the inclusion of a "God cannot..." in any statement renders it false. This is the "poor God..." excuse, that says "Gee whiz, God does so want this and that, but He just can't make it happen." That's rubbish. God is GOD, Who spoke the universe into being, but suddenly He's helpless because He can't correct the ill-effects of some idiotic, ill-advised, ridiculous, numb-skulled decision one of His creatures made. Really? Bah!1. A free will choice is inviolable: they made the decision to rebel against GOD's claims to Deity by their free will and a free will decision cannot be changed by anyone, even GOD, unless the person asks for it to be changed.
Without "God's interference" there is no creation, nor any creatures to make stupid decisions. But suddenly His creations have the power to thwart His will, and There's Nothing He Can Do. Who's in charge here, for crying out loud? US? What a ghastly thought!By definition all free will decisions must be sacrosanct and inviolable, apart from GOD's interference, or it cannot be defined as free, that is, uncoerced and not constrained.
Indeed.Have I missed some salient point here?
I purposely mentioned those two; I expected you to agree those are mental attempts to bring certain doctrines together, so I had hoped you would recognize the same thing being attempted by PCE.Interesting, especially since PCE theology denies both these false doctrines...perhaps you don't understand it as well as you think you do.
I contend that the sinful elect are responsible for the postponement of the judgment of the Satanic and therefore ARE responsible for the sufferings of sinners on earth - how else could it be when the parable distinctly tells us the angels were ordered NOT to bring the judgment upon the reprobate by pulling them up because that might destroy the sinful but elect good seed also (proving their sinfulness)...ending with the sinful elect having to live with the reprobate weeds under their tender ministrations...oh, I guess I mean the suffering they bring to the world, eh?
Anyone who knows GOD's hatred for sin and that HE cannot abide evil for one nano-second longer than is absolutely necessary must know that HE has been ready since the Satanic first fell to slam the gates of hell behind them but instead HE flings them to earth - what's with that? - and keeps them around to torment HIS future Bride, aka the sheep gone astray into sin aka the sinful good seed?
What is the loving, righteous and just reason you believe accounts for this world of suffering under the predations of evil? Why has the judgment not been called yet?
As for how many believe in this theology, I did say that not many who believe in our pre-conception existence have studied the theology. They know and sing that Jesus will take them home, that they will return to GOD when they die etc ,strongly believing that they came from heaven and will return to heaven.
What that means in theological and scriptural terms has only been deeply explored and written out (that I have come across) since ~1975-78. I rejected it immediately for my blend of Arminianistic Calvinism but once I started to understand the meaning of it's contentions and how the scriptures supported it and as the leading of the Holy Spirit became clearer to me, after some years of study I became a firm believer in the theology, not just in the fact, of our pre-conception existence.
I know I am a bad spokesperson for any theology but I have been blessed by the conversations I have had in the public forums like this one challenging me to seek deeper into the meaning of the bible and into the leading of the Spirit I follow as my GOD.
You do not understand me on this point at all. I am totally orthodox about salvation being by grace alone through faith, not by works and whatever you think you saw in my words as different were a product of your own thinking...you might want to figure out how that happened.
The setting of the time was chosen to include the postponement...You believe that judgment has been postponed. There is no Biblical basis to believe that. The day of judgment is an appointed time, has been from the beginning.
ou also say you cannot be held at fault for Adam's sin. Yet you make the elect responsible for the sins of the lost. God would not allow a double standard like that.
