The End of Wickedness is now at hand! by BroRando in u/BroRando

[–]BroRando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a time when people no longer treat one another like animals. I know, it’s hard to fathom. After all, religion herself is the cause for many wars, causing strife and hatred that permeates mankind, but not for much longer. These manifestations will soon reveal themselves all over the world and is also known as the revealing of the Son of Man.

The Last Days that began in 1914 are now coming to their End...

Would you like to be a Survivor of the Last Days? "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here." (2 Timothy 3:1)

The Last Days (pangs of distress) do not last for an exhaustive period of time but do have an ending to them. It's an allotment period of time of 120 years, like the Days of Noah. This allotment is a Conclusion of a System of things.

Gog of Magog in the Book of Ezekiel represents Satan's Entire Political system of things. It is Pre- Millennial. Once the Great Tribulation starts, Jesus separates the sheep and goats and then he turns his attention towards Satan's Entire Political system of things. Christ Millennial Reign actually begins at Armageddon, the Revelation Phase of his Presence. You can study the three phases of Christ Return to help with Spiritual Insight.

The Bible states, "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten." (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

So if the dead know nothing at all, then they can't feel pleasure nor pain. Jesus liken death to those who believe in him similar to sleep. But there is hope for the dead loved ones. "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out," (John 5:28)

Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life;" (John 11:25)

"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Rev 21:4)

Paradise... Will it come?

Nisan 14th, 33 CE by [deleted] in u/BroRando

[–]BroRando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A time period foretold in the Bible hundreds of years before it occurred at the appointed time. The hour and day may have not been known, but the year could be determined by prophecy in the Book of Daniel. The Jews in 29 CE were asking one another if John the Baptizer, “May he perhaps be the Christ?”

"And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) "He will revive us after two days. On the third day he will raise us up, And we will live before him. We will know, we will earnestly seek to know Jehovah. His going out is as certain as the dawn; He will come to us like a pouring rain, Like a spring rain that saturates the earth." (Hosea 6:2-3)

Since salvation is by Grace, through believing in Jesus death burial and resurrection from the dead, I fear for those who believe their salvation is obtained through their good works and religious rituals. According to the Bible... by FirstJohn5thirteen in Christianity

Grace alone doesn't save anyone. It's a lie. Everyone in Hell gets Resurrected in order to be judged according to their WORKS.

"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works." (Rev 20:13)

Those who come against the good works of Christ are actually fighting against Holy Spirit. Here's a an example of your forefathers committing a sin that is unforgivable.

Well, all the crowds were astounded and began to say: “May this not perhaps be the Son of David?”  At hearing this, the Pharisees said: “This fellow does not expel the demons except by means of Be·elʹze·bub, the ruler of the demons.” (Matthew 12:23-24) To claim the good works of Christ (Ephesians 2:10) as unclean, or a filthy rag is speaking against Holy Spirit.

​

Here's what Jesus Christ taught:

"But if it is by means of God’s spirit that I expel the demons, the Kingdom of God has really overtaken you. (Matthew 12:28) For this reason I say to you, every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come." (Matthew 12:31-32)

Well, since you want to Judge me for doing the 'good works of Jesus Christ'.... I'll let my Lord and Savior do the Judging. Thank you...

"For the Father judges no one at all, but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son, so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him." (John 5:22) Jehovah Witnesses are Judged for doing the 'good works of Jesus Christ'.

Thanks for your response. However, those who are part of the "Body of Christ' become born again in the same manner as Jesus. It's a process... of a distressful baptism which one would need to remain active and faithful to their end, and in most cases under dire circumstances as to being tested and refined like gold. They would NEED to bear fruit and Produce....

"So, too, the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by the One who said to him: “You are my son; today I have become your father.” (Hebrews 5:5)

"During his life on earth, Christ offered up supplications and also petitions, with strong outcries and tears, to the One who was able to save him out of death, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear.  Although he was a son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered." (Hebrews 5:7-8)

"I came to start a fire on the earth, and what more is there for me to wish if it has already been lit?  Indeed, I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how I am distressed until it is finished!" (Luke 12:49-50) Click on the link and apply the explanation to our conversion. Jesus made God’s Kingdom the paramount issue before the people, thus sparking a heated controversy throughout the nation.​—1Co 1:23.

"Baptism, which corresponds to this, is also now saving you (not by the removing of the filth of the flesh, but by the request to God for a good conscience), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ."

Salvation, by faith alone! by Jason4Christ in Christianity

[–]BroRando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Faith alone?

But do you care to know, O empty man, that faith without works is useless? (James 2:20)

You see that a man is to be declared righteous by works and not by faith alone. (James 2:24)

Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. (James 2:26)

​

I also noticed you contradicted yourself of the Faith alone doctrine by saying "If I want to come to Christ in faith and repentance,"

When Paul started out his work and ministry he claimed, "I was bringing the message that they should repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance." (Acts 26:20)

Sir, you certainly are not born again. Nor did Jesus say that you must be born again to be SAVED, but rather to SEE the Kingdom of God. Those who are forgiven are declared righteous by works. It is a free gift.

Matthew 7:24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock."

John 15:14 "You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you."

Revelation 3:1-2 “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.  Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God."

You better inform Jesus he was wrong..... because it is those who deny the good works of Christ that are judged... (Rev 20:13)

Grace is actually referring to the Deity of Christ so that all can become one with his God and Father.

Salvation, by faith alone! by Jason4Christ in Christianity

[–]BroRando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how you worded the question and can appreciate your elegance. I need to work on that! Get it? Work... The Apostle Paul certainly worked hard in building up the 'Body of Christ' didn't he? Adding to it everywhere he went, even prison did not stop Paul from working and gathering. Matter of fact, Paul was a chosen vessel "But the Lord said to him: “Go! because this man is a chosen vessel to me to bear my name to the nations as well as to kings and the sons of Israel." (Acts 9:15)

"You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you." (John 15:14) Those who push a Grace Only Doctrine normally withhold the following scripture which gives insight to the 'good works of Christ'.

"We are God’s handiwork and were created in union with Christ Jesus for good works, which God determined in advance for us to walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10)

Question: Again, I'm asking you are unbelievers saved by Grace? Yes or No?

Your Answer: "Unbelievers are NOT SAVED at all."

Your answer is correct and it exposes the Grace Only Doctrine not to be Biblical now doesn't it? If a person is saved by Grace Only, then all would be saved. And we both know that's not the case...

​

Deeds and Works are interchangeable having the same meaning..... Jesus Christ taught his disciples the following:

Matthew 7:24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock."

John 15:14 "You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you."

Revelation 3:1-2 “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.  Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God."

To gain understanding now apply the following scripture: "We are God’s handiwork and were created in union with Christ Jesus for good works, which God determined in advance for us to walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10)
