Why Don't Modern Denominations Understand The Rapture
The reason is because the church and it's associated doctrines are "mysteries" and must be revealed to prepared hearts by the indwelling Spirit, who alone can teach us his words. Generally speaking, teachers who cannot understand and discern the mystery of the church of Jesus Christ are more than likely to be off center on all the major doctrines of the faith for that simple reason, lack of spiritual discernment. That is what I notice on these boards as I interact with denominational faith... -
Romans 3:26 Often Misused (God is Just and the Justifier of sinners)
Reading arguments on this forum it occurs to me that Romans 3:26 is often taken out of its context and misused (I have done this as well).
Many have argued this as a type of problem or solution to how God has forgiven people without becoming unjust. I have argued the same - that God recreates man (man must die to sin, must be "born from above", born of the Spirit. While many things stated about God being Just and justifying sinners is true, we have to consider the passage itself. I... -
Is God Intrinsically Just?
Is God Intrinsically Just?
Psalms 99:4. ‘The King’s strength also loves justice; You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.’
The question is: justice is clearly an attribute of God, but does He have to be just? Is it intrinsic to His nature?
The question weighed on the minds of theologians down the centuries. For many, the issue bore on the freedom of God. Psalms 115:3. ‘But our God is in heaven. He does whatever He pleases.’ Athanasius,... -
Every Object Short of Jesus is Vanity
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen, are temporal; but the things which are not seen, are eternal.—2 Corinthians 4:18.
The faith of the gospel stamps vanity upon the righteousness, glory, and happiness of every object short of Jesus. When the soul beholds the King in his glory, it pours contempt upon all things beside; all the transient objects of time and sense die in esteem while the crucified Saviour is in... -

I'm interested in hearing some input regarding the timing of the rapture. What say you? -
God's Children Were Never "Heirs of Hell"
Ephesians 2:1-6 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his... -
Matthew 16:21-23 and Satan's Role in the Crucifixion of Jesus
Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those... -
Fables or Fiction concerning editions of the KJV
So, I am having Pastor Brent as my spokesman, today;
" The KJV has 3 editions, and the revisions were only spelling, punctuation and numbers.
Pick up a KJV Bible and know for certain that you are reading the unchanging, most consistent and most literal English translation we possess.
Many people, especially KJV-only advocates, seem to be uninformed or misinformed concerning editions of the KJV.
The claim of there being only 3 editions of the KJV and the claim of there being only... -
Progressive Dispensationalism?
Does anyone here identify as a progressive dispensationalist?
I'm sure I'll eventually break down and buy the Blaising and Bock book one day, but in the meantime, does anyone here know of a good, online breakdown of what progressive dispensationalism is?
