    The Ones Who Are Left…

    I’m not ‘gutting’ the Gospel in any way. What Jesus said and did is very important to our walk with Him. His death for our sin is WHY we live for him, not as slaves, but willing servants as Paul wrote in Romans 12:1-2 Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye...

    The Ones Who Are Left…

    Jesus, while on earth, was both God AND human at the same time. How can the triune God become flesh and still remain God? Jesus is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit all at the same time. How is that possible? It's beyond human comprehension to know or understand. John...

    Was Jesus lying? What are your thoughts?

    It would seem that the original poster lacks some detail regarding Jesus earthly ministry. In particular, in Luke 18:31-34, He tells them again about what is about to happen Luk 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are...

    The Church is not prepared for what is to come.

    I'll jump in here with a couple of brief answers to some of what has been posted in the past day or so... 1. We are ALL BORN SINNERS: (all verses from KJV) Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of...

    The Ones Who Are Left…

    Apparently my comment about not getting doctrine from the Gospels was misunderstood. To be clear, we can LEARN from the Gospels, but we aren’t COMMANDED to do what’s presented. Our faith is 100% based upon what Jesus did for us at Calvary. We are led by the Holy Spirit to do as He directs us...

    The Church is not prepared for what is to come.

    I use the term 'denominations' and 'denominal churches' to mean denominations like Lutherans, Episcopalians, Catholics, Methodists, etc. Each of them selectively pick and choose what they believe in Gods' Word, change it as desired, and add to it as well. Yes, there definitely some born again...

    The Ones Who Are Left…

    Oh dear! I see so much confusion in this thread. I'll start off with Galatians 4:4-7 Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law (Israel), that we (us believers) might receive...

    The Church is not prepared for what is to come.

    The church in this post means the global church of all saved believers. Most people in various denominations are unsaved, and they're definitely NOT ready for what's coming next. They will certainly believe a lie that millions and millions of people that instantly disappeared were abducted by...

    The Church is not prepared for what is to come.

    The more I look at the feasts, the more I'm convinced they were commanded by God TO Israel and FOR Israel. Their 'Christianization' of the feasts and other portions of the OT is completely wrong in my book. Like Gods' 8 covenants with Israel...they apply to Israel ONLY. Some Christians try...

    Joseph's Troubles

    The more I learn in Gods' Word, the more I realize it is an incredibly detailed gigantic tapestry, perfectly and very intricately woven together, that takes more than a lifetime to ever fully comprehend. Take away a bit here, change a bit there, may still yield a recognizable image. Take...

    The Church is not prepared for what is to come.

    In my statement that Paul didn't write of the feasts in his letters, I should have added: "to the church" at the end. Although some theologians disagree on Pauls' authorship of Hebrews, I have little doubt he did write it. So I have to ask how a letter to the Hebrews (no Gentiles) applies to...

    The Church is not prepared for what is to come.

    I’ll further my disagreement (or lack of understanding) that the rapture will happen at the end of the Feast of Trumpets. In particular, I’m on the fence thinking that the ‘equating’ the 7 feasts of Israel to the Church is borderline replacement theory. At a minimum, I suspect those...

    The Church is not prepared for what is to come.

    I'm 'late' to this discussion, but will throw in my 2 cents worth... As Ron Nolette indicated, Paul had no clue of the 7 trumpets. So, presumably, Paul is writing in regard to the last trump during the Feast of Trumpets. I'll use 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 8:6 to disagree with both...
