Many believe in Jesus without repentance and are without faith. Faith is that form of believing that is authored by Jesus, based upon Spirit illuminated scripture and always produces works appropriate to repentance in those who have it.

Only if they responded to the Lord's offer of forgiveness when called...

By saying, "He that believeth on me," would have to include all those who believe on him, would it not?

Jesus died for the sins of the world. Those who repent and obtain faith from Jesus, the author of our faith, are the ones who receive forgiveness. I think of it like this; Jesus is an infinite being and an infinite atonement is required for forgiveness. So we could describe it thus: Jesus an...

Jesus said in Jn 14: 12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Jesus is still with the Father, is he not? In 1 Cor 13: 8-10: Charity never faileth: but whether there...

Lu 21: 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Lu 21: 28-33 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your...

2 Pet 3: 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

The Hebrew word for was is the same word for became...

James tells us by the Spirit in Jas 1: 13-15: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth...

Is 14: 18-20 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase...

I always think of the Lord to be everywhere present and nowhere absent, and also, every-when present and no-when absent...

Heb 1: 5-7 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him...

I suspect that Adam knew he was choosing Eve over the Lord...

Here's my take on the earth's beginning: Gen 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The wording here used in the original Hebrew, implied that the earth was a finished work, ready to be inhabited. Gen 1:2, "And the earth became without form, and void; and darkness was...

Usually, we're given a lesser gift to use and once we've become fluent with it, the Lord will lay it upon such a one's heart to ask for a better gift of the Spirit. 1 Cor 12: 4-11 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same...

1 Cor 14: 23-33 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is...

Mt 7: 1-5 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou...

1 JN 3: 19-24 19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22And whatsoever we ask, we...

1 Jn 5: 16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Jn 7: 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
