Yes, I wish people would stop trying so hard to appear intelligent and just explain things clearly with the intention of teaching others. I mean, what’s the point?

Wow, man…. Maybe I just ain’t very intelligent because I ain’t understanding half of what’s being written here.

Right. … the Trinity, you see.

oops. Sorry @studier :) I just noticed you had already quoted Hebrews 4:12. ;)

Hi, you. The Word of God is too the Holy Spirit. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12

Yes, in the New Jerusalem (Eternity), everything will be perfect. This will transpire after the First Resurrection and after the 1,000-year Millennium and after the Great White Throne Judgment. Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away...

Hallelujah!

… and no, I’m not a Calvinist—just a Christian who studies her Bible.

Paul was a chosen vessel, one of God’s Elect. He had no choice. He was selected by God to to bear His name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel: But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel...

Upon a second reading of Philippians 1:21-25, as well as some scattered study, I don't believe Paul is discussing free will in this text—absolutely not. :) In my opinion, Paul is essentially saying … If I live, I will teach Christ and bear fruit; and if I die, I will be with Christ and that...

Perhaps the reason for those not chosen is that they would never want to be chosen by the Father, no matter what. Their father is the devil (Satan).

No, not at all.

Great study here. I can't help but remember that Paul is described as a chosen vessel in the Bible; yet, it is obvious that Paul is trying to make a choice in this particular passage of scripture. Whether or not Paul realizes it, he is receiving help from the Helper, the Holy Spirit, according...

Were the Four Horsemen released from the 1st century? No, I don’t believe so. I believe the four horsemen symbolize the first 4 seals in the book of Revelation, which is for the end times. Daniel chapter 12:9-12 also refers to this time. Revelation 6:1-8 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of...

@Rufus - - In the book of Revelation ch. 20, we can read a little bit about this 1,000-year Millennium: Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan...

Brother Rufus, In the millennium, which begins at the second advent of Jesus Christ, we won’t have flesh bodies any longer. We’ll be in our spiritual bodies, impervious to age or disease. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Now...

Do you know what happens when Jesus Christ returns at the 7th trump? What makes you think we’re in the Millennium now?

In the millennium, there will be an abundance of teaching. Above all, we have a just and all-powerful Father in heaven who is still seated on His throne. We can count on Him.

Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. By the time Jesus Christ returns, everyone in today’s world will have heard the Gospel of the Kingdom. —Selah
