    Predestination is misunderstood...

    God’s sovereignty is simply the fact that the Lamb of God was slain BEFORE the foundation of the world. He will save ALL that choose to believe in Him. God’s unconditional love is simply the fact that His love depends only on Him, NOT us… meaning God chooses to love us because He wants to love...

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    Every morning you wake up and CHOOSE what to wear, eat, who to talk to, what songs to listen to… all day long you’re making CHOICES… God CHOOSES or REJECTS us AND we get to CHOOSE or REJECT Him.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    I’ve been reading the book of Jeremiah…. God so greatly pleaded with Israel and Judah to repent and return to Him but, they CHOSE not to. Mankind has always had a choice and God has always had a choice. It amazes me that God has chosen to save us. I am in AWE of His great love. :love:

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    I believe all believers are saved but, not all believers are the Bride. The Bride will be the ones with the extra oil, lamps lit and ready at the Bridegroom’s coming.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    It is true that God chooses me first BUT, I have the choice to receive Jesus Christ or reject Jesus Christ. I MUST also choose God.

    So….:unsure: Are you saying that ALL Believers are saved? Are you saying that ALL Believers are the Church? Are you saying that ALL Believers are the Body of Christ? Are you saying that ALL Believers are the Bride of Christ?

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    This is how I understand the Bride of Christ… ALL Believers in Jesus Christ are eternally saved, however, not all Believers are the Bride of Christ. God the Father is choosing a Bride for His Son out of all the Believers. I believe the 7 letters to the 7 churches are written to the Bride… she...

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    Yes, you are correct! There are only 2 choices… the path of Life which is in Christ alone. Those that choose Jesus Christ and believe in Him for salvation are predestined to receive eternal Life in Jesus Christ. Those that reject Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord and King by denying and not...

    Are you pre-Trib, mid-Trib, or post-Trib?

    All the male babies that were killed by King Herod because of Jesus Christ are the servants of the Lord on Earth and currently in Heaven… they are the 144,000 in Revelation 7 and 14, in Heaven they are no longer babies.

    Are you pre-Trib, mid-Trib, or post-Trib?

    The male babies’ bodies remained on Earth, their souls and spirits are with Jesus Christ in Heaven and they are NOT still babies, they are the servants of the Lord. Like us, they will return with the Lord on white horses, receive their bodies back and be changed in the blink of an eye and be...

    Are you pre-Trib, mid-Trib, or post-Trib?

    Yes, I believe the 144,000 in Revelation 7 is the SAME 144,000 in Revelation 14. They are all the male babies martyred by King Herod and God placed His Seal on them and marked them as His before they were killed.

    Unable to reconcile the ending of Luke with John

    John wrote with the purpose that the reader might “believe” in Jesus Christ as Messiah and Savior. Luke wrote with the purpose to record all the “events” that took place… historical.

    Also, those angels that are reaping people from the Earth in Revelation 14 are throwing them in God’s wine press for His Wrath… there is no way that is the rapture. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the...

    Are you pre-Trib, mid-Trib, or post-Trib?

    I don’t think Revelation 14 is about the rapture of the believers… Another CC member once explained the 144,000 and I agree with him. He said the 144,000 are all the male babies from birth to 2 yrs old that were slaughtered in Bethlehem and surrounding towns by King Herod because he was...

    Are you pre-Trib, mid-Trib, or post-Trib?

    The abomination that makes desolation occurs in the last 3 1/2 years which is all the time the antichrist gets, NEVER does Jesus Christ have anything to do with the abomination that causes desolation. Jesus Christ already brought the first 3 1/2 years of tribulation on the nation of Israel...

    Are you pre-Trib, mid-Trib, or post-Trib?

    No, the final 7 years of Daniel’s prophecy is split in two sets of 3 1/2 years. Jesus Christ fulfilled the first 3 1/2 years by confirming the covenant of the Messiah the Savior the One that was to come and ONLY His sacrifice puts an end to all sacrifices. No more blood sacrifices needed...

    Did God occupy any space before creation?

    You asked, “Did God occupy any space before creation?” Yes, God occupied space before creation… There is a God Realm… ONLY God can exist there… God displays Himself (makes Himself known) in the Heavenly, Spiritual, and Physical Realms but, He also has a Realm all of His own. Next, you...

    Are you pre-Trib, mid-Trib, or post-Trib?

    Hello, I’m mid-trib because I believe Jesus Christ already fulfilled the first 3 1/2 years of the 7 years. The antichrist will get the final 3 1/2 years which will be the finality of the 70 weeks prophecy given to Daniel regarding Israel. Believers that are ready with “extra oil and lamps...
