The problem with 'the ruler' referring to the Lord, is that it would mean that Jesus would be the one who made the seven year covenant, the one who causes the daily sacrifices to cease and the One who sets up the abomination in the holy place, which cannot be. The abomination 'bdelugma' is...

You are correct my friend. Did you mean 'those [who will] experience the final judgment?" I say this because the final judgment, i.e. the great white throne judgment doesn't take place until after the millennial kingdom.

Tell me, what do you make of these scriptures, brother? "And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain. - Revelation 13:8 "And those who dwell on the earth...

And I would add that, the "all who should come to repentance" would be those whom God chose. We still have free will and must continue in faith. For as you well know, without faith (from first to last) it is impossible to please God.

Hello again! I don't think it would make it mootish. And that because as I mentioned in the previous post, our part is still faith. Believers are not programmed robots. We still have free will and must endure the things in life that God allows that would attempt to knock us off of our stand in...

Most definitely! When Moses was speaking to the One in the burning bush, He asked who he should say to the Israelites "who me?" And the Lord said, "I AM who I AM." Tell them I AM has sent you. When speaking to the Pharisees and religious leaders, Jesus said to them "Before Abraham was, I AM" and...

Hello brother! It is always a pleasure. I believe that you are referring to Revelation 3:5: "Like them, he who overcomes will be dressed in white. And I will never blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels." In the scripture above...

Hello ewq1938! Actually, the words 'aion/aionios' translated as 'eternal or forever' can mean 'an age, cycle of time, having no beginning or ending or never ending. Therefore 'aionios/eternal' can be applied those who are saved because through Christ we have obtained never ending life. As Jesus...

I'll give you an example: There are those who believe and teach that at the time of death, body soul and spirit sleep in the dust of the earth. They get this mainly by relying on Eccl.9:5. Yet we have many other scriptures that show the spirit/soul conscious and aware after the death of the...

Their sins were not predetermined. Sin entered the world through Adam and Eve and so all have sinned. It is God's choosing of those sinners throughout all of history that was predetermined. For we are guilty of sin and therefore death. But God chose to save some. If I was to use your example...

True! But the point that Paul is making is that, before either of them were born and had done nothing either good or bad, God's election was for Jacob and not Esau. This demonstrates God's Sovereign election. He continues on with the same point when he says that God raised up Pharaoh for the...

Regardless of the word 'From,' it puts their names as being written and not written at that time, which would be at least before the world even began. In other words, those who names were written in the book of life was done prior to or at the beginning of the foundation of the world. In any...

Hello again! Sorry about the delay. I work 3rd shift, so I was answering earlier when I had just gotten off work. It is imperative that we address all related scriptures regarding any given issue, because they give us the full picture. One of the main errors regarding the differences in...

Not is not a true comparison regarding this issue. Instead of stating these things, please address the scriptures that I have provided. God would be completely vindicated if He let everyone in the boat sink and it would not be considered as wrong. But God in His Love and Sovereignty chose to...

"From and before" is not going to work, because it means prior to the on-set of the world. This is just an apologetic to circumvent the information because it doesn't fit with what you have adopted. I don't do that. I address all of the scriptures when forming my conclusion. What did you do with...

I never said that people didn't die. I said that the covid cases and deaths have been greatly exaggerated. For certain, it is a real virus. However, it is not the Bubonic plague.

Hello throughfaith! All men = All those whose names were written in the book of life before the world began. It is the same for the following: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and onlye Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." The world =...

Thank you for saying so. And I totally agree. Never been called a Catholic before. "Come out of her my people!"

I have comfort for my brothers and sisters and all people. But that does not infer that I should not share and contend for the truth that the Spirit has revealed to me through study and prayer. I not going to pretend like I don't know what I am talking about. What would be the point of all that...

I'd be the furthest thing from a Catholic :). I'm an in-depth studier of the word of God. Everything that that I share is from scripture and which I also include. By the way, the religious system of Roman Catholicism is mystery, Babylon the Great. She is that woman who will ride the beast, i.e...
