According to Revelation 1:5-6 Christ has already established his kingdom here on Earth. Revelation 1:5-6 To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father— to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! Amen...

One last point I'd like to make. All these things you point out are true, but then what do we do? These things you point out can create fear for the believer. And yet we are not to fear. And so how do we battle and stand against these fearful things you point out? 1 John 4:18 There is...

Good post! But how do we combat this? Answer: With Love. We Love God 1st and we love others 2nd. We must not be fearful of these things that are happening in true churches and in apostate churches. At this point I see that we cannot triumph over this with judgement. Instead we can...

We are at the beginning parts of the era of the "Prostitute of Babylon" Rev 17. At the center is Roman Catholicism, but Prostitute is and will go much deeper where more and more churches and denominations either are already or will get in bed with every other denomination and therefore in bed...

The church is the spiritual authority in the world. It is not a literal authority. A literal authority in this world bares arms and armed forces. The church is not responsible for the state of our nations. The church is commanded to make disciples and baptize them in the name of the Father...

Galatians 6:3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Galatians 6:6 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. I never saw these biblical principles applied at any...

Romans 12:1-2 12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then...

It probably stems from the example of old testament Israel which had a King, and which had a high priest. But, this then would be a bad example to follow since in scripture all were imperfect, and many were outright bad. New testament does not call for a "head pastor" except of that Jesus is...

In Matthew 10:23 "before the Son of man comes" refers to when Jesus comes back from the dead and into his Glory which is in Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

We are not to condemn. And I do not condemn although you say I condemn. We are to share the gospel - the grace and love of God. But there needs to be repentance for sins. This is one of the conditions. We fail others if we leave out the need for repentance and we fail others when we...

God's love is not unconditional. First, you are to Love God back. Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest...

Luke 13:5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”

Ephesians 2:1-3 2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time...

Thank you for your cautioning. And I would caution you don't blot out Ezekiel 18:19-20 from your bible? Let's face facts, Ezekiel 18:19-20 is in the bible. So deal with it! But you attempt to use John Samson and R.C. Sproul to take Ekekiel 18:19-20 out of my hands. You are saying, 'No, no...

BINGO!!!!! You hit the nail on the head!!

Daniel 8:13-14 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?” And he...

Old testament provides literal examples of spiritual truths that are revealed plainly in the new testament. First example: Jonah literally died when he was in the belly of a fish or whale and was born again when the fish or whale vomited him out. Jonah experienced a literal rebirth. Now we who...

John 10:22-25 22 Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” 25...

Only those who hate God does He give them over to specific sins. Deuteronomy 5:9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me...

Yep, what you write in the doctrine of Original Sin. Original sin is the Christian doctrine which says that because of the sin of Adam and Eve, original innocence is lost and all subsequent human beings are born into a state of sinfulness. The doctrine states that human beings do not commit...
