I was rescued.

It's not their lack of works, but lack of relationship...I never knew you. They didn't understand God's will or do His will. They believed God's will was to be busy doing things. The work of God is to believe...John 6:29. Read afresh their appeal. They don't say we have trusted in Him. Instead...

I'm saying the object of faith is important. Those in Matthew 7 trusted in their works rather than a relationship with Jesus.

They were not saved. Their boast was in their works; not Christ. There are plenty of people who associate themselves with Jesus and the church in the same way they might associate themselves to a local club or team. The relationship is superficial and outward, and not inward. These people never...

I didn't call faith a work. You do like many people here and misrepresent what people say. I'm not going to begin every post defending things I haven't said. Grace and peace.

You should take your own advice. Grace and peace.

You, like many here, limit your understanding to what you can see. For instance, what is worse than God severing a covenant with a particular people? What is worse than being separated from God? Anything? No. Wouldn't that alone be the worst tribulation ever? Not to mention the physical...

You mean Jesus?

People who desire to learn generally do. Grace and peace.

I don't disagree with a future mass salvation for Jews. It will come after the Gentile world is saved. But, it will come under the new covenant. It's as I said: you don't really understand the book of Revelation. It is about the destruction of a covenant, the execution of covenant sanctions...

James 4:7...we can resist the devil and he will flee from us. He may be strutting like a lion, but he's a pussy cat compared to the power that resides in any Christian.

Jesus has already been revealed before this in history, as well as in the gospels and epistles. See posts 3,819 and 3,822.

Outline for the book of Revelation: 1. Preamble 1 2. Historical Prologue 2-3 3. Ethical Stipulations 4-7 4. Sanctions 8-14 5. Succession Arrangements 15-22 The difference being that Deuteronomy is dealing with the establishment of a covenant, while Revelation deals with the sanctions coming to...

Since you don't know, I'll help you out. In the book of Deuteronomy, God establishes a covenant with Israel. The outline for the book is as follows: 1. Preamble 1:1-5 2. Historical Prologue 1:6-4:49 3. Ethical Stipulations 5:1-26:19 4. Sanctions 27:1-30:20 5. Succession Arrangements 31:1-34:12...

Not the end of the world; the end of the age...the end of the old covenant. What, in a couple of sentences is the book of Revelation about?

Tell me then in 1 or 2 sentences what the book of Revelation is about? Bonus: what other book of the Bible has the exact same outline?

Hardly. Like I said, your have poor eschatological dogma. You don't even have a basic understanding of the book of Revelation.

All part of the tribulation 1st century.

That verse is open to broad interpretation.

Nero didn't set himself up as God? He didn't persecute the church? God had no part in messing up his mind driving him to suicide?
