Hmmm. your comment that I have continued to quarrel on a topic when someone comes on the site for help is not a true reflection of me or my motives for continuing a conversation. But if you believe I have been this way, I can remember many times when you have continued debate on a topic in the same way even when there are people who post their requests for help. So, we should be self-reflective when we accuse another person of the same things we have done.
If you look at my history on here you will find that I respond to requests for prayer and help often. And when a topic is being discussed strongly, I try to continue in it until it seems to come to a point to cease, as I believe you and many others do here.
For me, I don't mind strong disagreement on ideas as long as we are free to respond on topic. Others may not like to engage this way. Having strong disagreement is not the same as being divisive or mean-spirited. The free exchange of ideas and view points is allowed here and has been part of the Christian conversation since the time of Jesus and the early church. Being assertive is not the same as being argumentative.
Also, what you may consider a minor topic or doctrine does not necessarily make it so. Therefore, we should not be the judge of the choice of topics on this forum.
I know that both you and I and many on here are concerned about truth being spoken concerning biblical teachings, and we should be. I understand that there are many beliefs that are in disagreement among believers here and in the church at large. But just because there is such variety does not mean that we take a Laise-fair attitude about this because truth does matter.
I do agree that we should be speaking of soteriology often on this site and I do think that we do. But there are many other discussions that address other topics too. I attribute this diversity of topics to the work of the Holy Spirit for the building up and maturing of the saints.

What shall happen from now on?Exactly what the true Christians have announced for many years before- 2Peter 3:10-13:
10The heavens(both environment of the Old Testament and New Testament)shall pass away with a great noise(be imploded, or even heavily hit or impacted like the WTC twin towers,because that which decayeth and waxeth old is READY to vanish away- Hebrews 8:13), and the elements shall melt with fervent heat(GOD is a devouring fire, understand?), and the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up (even now, from now on, as is determined in the Word of GOD- Daniel 2:34-35 & 44-45,take a look, for the Word is GOD,GOD Himself,self-executing,understand?)
11Seeing then that all THESE THINGS shall be DISSOLVED (DISMANTLED),what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of GOD(the Lord's Day,seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium),wherein the heavens(both environment of the Old Testament and New Testament),being on FIRE shall be DISSOLVED(will no longer exist),and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13Nevertheless we,according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.(Phil.3:20-21: 20For our conversation is in heaven(heven? Ephesians 1:3-8); from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body( Luke 20:35-36), according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself.)
Re.11:15-18KJV
15The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord,and of His Christ;and He shall reign for ever and ever.
...
18And the nations were angry,and thy wrath is come,and the time of the dead,that they should be Judged,and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets,and to the saints,and them that fear thy name,small and great;and should DESTROY them which destroy the earth.
In today's society, many do not even believe witchcraft is real, but it is very real and dangerous. Scripture tells us not to deal with it or be around anyone who does. I do not know what you are battling but have faith that Jesus Christ can break any bondage to witchcraft. Trust in the faith of Jesus and immerse yourself in Scripture. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
You can trust and hold fast without any doubt because Jesus said this, John 14:13-14 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
I wish to break every witchcraft and spell upon my life. I set myself free from any spell holding me back because what I do not know of will not know me.
Gigi, I have enjoyed and talked about every biblical topic you can imagine on this site as well as others but I never neglect what's most important. "Our commission.
With that being said the distraction I spoke to Brother Ronald about wasn't because there were other topics than Soteriology.
The distractions is the quarrels over less important issues.
If someone won me over with their eschatology that wont save me!
So, if someone comes on the site for help in their walk or faith, Don't be distracted by the quarrels and take the time and help them.
Gigi, I've seen you do that!
Maybe this will help.
I pasted and copied the "theme" of my conversation to Ronald.
"That is true Brother Ronald but finding having the truth doesn't necessarily eliminate pride.
To quarrel about a secondary topic and neglect what's most important is a show of pride.
You see we set Christ commission aside to do our own thing.
Winning a debate doesn't out weigh Winning souls.
Here's an example of what I noticed.
A person posted questions on their fear of coming to Christ. That message lingered for hours before there was an response while posts of several topics went on.
When one or two offered their help on the subject the thread was flooded but not many of those replies went to the lady posting. (By the way, it was a guy)
This person's request for help was ignored while debates went on.
There's the distraction!
Jaz was the first to respond.
As for Unity.
Being in agreement with one Doctrinally doesn't necessarily mean you have unity. There are those who doesn't want to have nothing to say or do with others because of diverse reasons.
As you said, "You don't think there is a need for us to discuss this further"
Thanks for joining in!
I will be discussing it as I always has. Perhaps on a separate thread.
"Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him." (Ge.26:12)
Isaac is set as a sign. He is set in the frame of reference to the Son. As the heir of promise his blessings came from the everlasting covenant.. It has nothing to do with Abraham as Christians have ben taught by imposter church. The Spirit tags here with hundredfold with the same meaning as Jesus promised his disciples. " And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."(Matt.19:29) Man's life was set in terms of 120 (12x10) years. (Ge.6:3) Hundred refers to the day decreed for the Son. The end times has 144x1000 as a tag so the number of saints redeemed from the earth standing on the mount Sion is 144,000. (Re.14:1). Blessings of Abraham and Isaac come from the Ge.1:28. God allowed Abraham to sojourn in Egypt during the famine while He commanded Isaac to obey the everlasting covenant instead. "And said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of." Blessedness came from obedience to the covenant and not to Abraham. Literalism gives altogether a different meaning.
Water as a sign we see from the quarrel ensued between the servants of the king and of Isaac. Notice the expression,"unto this day". The servant report to Isaac," We have found water./And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day. "(Ge.26:32-33) Name of persons, places and events are thus tagged as signs ad it owes to the everlasting covenant. In association with the great stone of Abel we have this verse,"even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the Lord: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite." (1 Sa.6:18) Apart from 'unto this day' the name Joshua is the Hebrew variant of Jesus.
Just thinking today of all my spiritual family that I haven't seen or heard from in a long time . Miss so many of them and their wisdom and support . I had a brother in Lamesa but haven't heard from him for ages . We never forget the ones we love . It's easy to forget the meanies but the ones we have loved stay in our hearts forever . Treasure your spiritual family at least as much as your physical . I know I do , even more so to be honest .
Dear Christian , I'm so glad for you . It is when life is at its most difficult that we need to lean even harder on our God . This is what faith is all about , knowing that God is with us every second of every day no matter what . The physical world in which we live can be very brutal , to us personally and the things that we see and hear going on around us can be truly terrifying . We must cling even tighter to our Rock , He is our peace , our calm in the storm that is these kingdoms of men , as long as we have faith in Him and His love and mercy , we shall come through anything and everything that this life throws at us . When these tough times come upon us we must rejoice in Him even more than usual and be grateful for the opportunity for our faith to grow in Him , through Christ our Passover Lamb . This tough time for you will stay in your memory and in the future , maybe you will be feeling a bit low or doubtful or afraid and you will remember this time . The time that you were potentially in trouble but you knew , every step of the way , that God was with you guiding your feet and keeping you close to Him . Praise God for His love and His boundless wisdom and gentle guidance .
"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also."
"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:/ But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." ( John 4:13-14) Two kinds of water.
Thirsting again is the quality of water that went up as a mist, "But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground."(Ge.2:7) What God gave Samson to drink was the same. This sign is within frame of reference to the day decreed for the Son. Thus blessings stipulated in the covenant or condemnation arises. This is made clear by unto this day and in that day. The latter refers to the condemnation.
"But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life," is what every believer or true worshiper could claim."n the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."( John 7:37-38; Is.55:1) The two kinds of water have thus different source as Adam and the last Adam have. "The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven."(1 Co.15:47)
It is thus we distinguish between Sabbath as one day which need like water from the Jacob's Well. But thirst never gos away. The water unto everlasting life that we drink in the Son signified we have entered into the rest with the Son.
Does this insight come from human intellect or from the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ?" (2 Co.4:6) The heretical sects who make much Israel and Sabbath are holding truth in unrighteousness. More worse is that the refuse to come to light because their works are evil." And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ( John 3:19-20) What is their take on the unity of the Spirit. Drivel.
"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."(Ge.1:6) As with separation of light we have God making a distinction between the waters above and below the firmament. So signs where water from the earth rising as a mist is different from the river flowing out of Eden to water the garden on the east of Eden. Everlasting covenant applies here as well. Adam whose sin of disobedience proved that he was a servant. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"(Ro.6:16). Jesus gives us a clue to the expulsion of Adam, "And the servant abideth not in the house for ever( John 8:35-36). The Garden that God planted was for the last Adam. It also example the purpose of the water,"But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." This is the quality of 'the vile body' of flesh and blood.(Ge.2:7-8) The first Adam was earthy on account of it.
Water sent from God we shall see at several places, so everlasting covenant is operational. The ground was cursed on account of sin and when Hagar was in dire straits in the wilderness of Beersheba we read that God opened her eyes, "And she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink."Ge.21:19). This river of time flows till the last chapter. Against which Moses giving Israelite water to drink and quenching the thirst of mighty Samson which establishes the covenant is working. God sent succour to him and the place, "which is in Lehi unto this day:(Ju.15:19). This water serves as a sign that he was blessed in the Son according to the covenant. On the contrary we have " In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness." (Ze.13:1). This is in relation to the new earth.
Matt.16:3-4 "Signs""O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?/A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas."
Jesus the word become flesh was the sign and it referred to the Father who sent him. So whatever signs the Jews sought belonged to a wicked and adulterous generation. Isaiah referring to his sons referred to another generation which owed it validity from the everlasting covenant. "Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion."(Is.8:16). God had determined beforehand what their names shall be. It applied to the spirit of the times, a specific threat from Syria. In relation to the national identity of Israel these two sons were living proof that His promises shall not fail. Signs based on the Generation of Jesus owed to the covenant. For this reason Jesus referred the sign of the prophet Jonah. It referred to the death and resurrection of his Son.,The writer to the Hebrews cites Isaiah in order to show the generation of Jesus covered the day God decreed for his Son.(Ps.2:7). " Behold I and the children which God hath given me" leads us to the reason for the humanity of Jesus. Sanctification is what it meant. "Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people." So who sanctifies the people? (He.2:10-11). This shall throw light on the commandment on Sabbath. "Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you."(Ex.31:13) That ye may know." Without this their disbelief made their generation, them hypocrites.
Something happen to me and it's so wonderful that I want to share it with you all.
I am dealing with a job related issue for the last four weeks and I have been frustrated. I would pray morning and night and cry out to GOD and believed no matter what happen, even in my frustrated, daily state. GOD still showed up with me each day!
Each day I was expecting an answer but only got a partical answer or no answer at all to move me forward to the next day to receive a closure on the matter. Yesterday I got terrible news but I instantly decided to not stop believing and keep going.
I have never used my Faith for this long a period of time and the sistuation is dire but I refuse to believe that my GOD is not greater than any issue I face.
I'm now, more Determined, Frustrated and Excited all in one while still praising the LORD each day. I still do not have my answer but here is his glory:
I'm talking to GOD with grace and confidence each day.
I'm speaking the words from the bible of GOD's promises to me.
I'm standing on his words because they cannot return unto him void.
Through this process GOD is revealing things I did not know that are hendering my answer and providing me with wisdom to overcome it. It's just amazing when you put your Faith on the line and trust the process of GOD behind the seen.
Please pray for total and complete healing of all vision and eye problems for Stephen & Marian. Much suffering! Stephen has lost vision in left eye & Marian has multiple eye problems. Asking this miracle in the Most Awesome and Holy Name of Jesus. Thank you for praying and God Bless all of you.
Thankyou for your patience and guidence.This is sincerly appreciated and taken to heart.You have greatly expanded my experiance and journey.I have some distance to travel now and i feel excited about this.Thankyou.I feel i must stay intouch with you and Dear Gigi you are a comfort to me that i do not want to leave behind.Through KJV i will be intouch with you both again thankyou both.
I am more than gratefull for your patience with me.Thankyou.Your advice and guidence has expanded and taught me much already.I understand that this is a journey that never ends.Not a race to the finish.I have a large volume of reading and learning ahead.I tend to see this with excitement.Dont ask me to explain this because i can't.But in saying that i do know.A juxtaposition i know.Thankyou again Gigi.May God be with you.
28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;they did eat,they drank,they bought,they sold,they planted,they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
What was there or what happened in Sodoma,and Gomorra,and in the neighboring cities? Well,GOD sent two men there.And they said unto Lot,Hast thou here any besides?son in law,and thy sons,and thy daughters,and whatsoever thou hast in the city,bring them out of this place:For we will DESTROY THIS PLACE,because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord;and the Lord hath SENT US to DESTROY IT-Gen.19:12-13.
And Lot went out,and spake unto his sons in law,which married his daughters,and said, Up, get you out of this place;for the Lord will destroy this city.But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law-Gen.19:14.
Again:Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.Yes, even thus shall it be now,even now,from now on,the difference is that now is sent only one,not two men,and now the order/the command is to DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD OF THE DEVIL,the process of destruction of the Devil's world is already running,understand?
Do you believe or you are like the sons in law of Lot thinking that I'm moking you?No surprise,if so.JESUS said:even thus will be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.Who is he?Michael- Daniel 12:1-3, Matthew 24:15-25 and 1Thessalonians 4:16.
Get ready
Satan will be cast down into the bottomless pit,and his followers- 1Corinthians 6:9-10 and Revelation 21:8-,will be cast into the lake of fire.
Re.20:1-3->1And I saw an angel come down from heaven,having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.And he laid hold on the dragon,that old serpent,which is the Devil,and Satan,and bound him a thousand years...and set a seal upon him,that he should deceive the nations no more
I prayed for you last night in my bedtime prayer time. I, too have some of the same health issues.
We are to treasure our brethren and to pray for them when when we haven't spet time with them for a while.
Thanks for reminding us of this today.

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"(Ro.6:16). Jesus gives us a clue to the expulsion of Adam, "And the servant abideth not in the house for ever( John 8:35-36). The Garden that God planted was for the last Adam. It also example the purpose of the water,"But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." This is the quality of 'the vile body' of flesh and blood.(Ge.2:7-8) The first Adam was earthy on account of it.
Water sent from God we shall see at several places, so everlasting covenant is operational. The ground was cursed on account of sin and when Hagar was in dire straits in the wilderness of Beersheba we read that God opened her eyes, "And she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink."Ge.21:19). This river of time flows till the last chapter. Against which Moses giving Israelite water to drink and quenching the thirst of mighty Samson which establishes the covenant is working. God sent succour to him and the place, "which is in Lehi unto this day:(Ju.15:19). This water serves as a sign that he was blessed in the Son according to the covenant. On the contrary we have " In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness." (Ze.13:1). This is in relation to the new earth.
Jesus the word become flesh was the sign and it referred to the Father who sent him. So whatever signs the Jews sought belonged to a wicked and adulterous generation. Isaiah referring to his sons referred to another generation which owed it validity from the everlasting covenant. "Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion."(Is.8:16). God had determined beforehand what their names shall be. It applied to the spirit of the times, a specific threat from Syria. In relation to the national identity of Israel these two sons were living proof that His promises shall not fail. Signs based on the Generation of Jesus owed to the covenant. For this reason Jesus referred the sign of the prophet Jonah. It referred to the death and resurrection of his Son.,The writer to the Hebrews cites Isaiah in order to show the generation of Jesus covered the day God decreed for his Son.(Ps.2:7). " Behold I and the children which God hath given me" leads us to the reason for the humanity of Jesus. Sanctification is what it meant. "Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people." So who sanctifies the people? (He.2:10-11). This shall throw light on the commandment on Sabbath. "Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you."(Ex.31:13) That ye may know." Without this their disbelief made their generation, them hypocrites.
I am dealing with a job related issue for the last four weeks and I have been frustrated. I would pray morning and night and cry out to GOD and believed no matter what happen, even in my frustrated, daily state. GOD still showed up with me each day!
Each day I was expecting an answer but only got a partical answer or no answer at all to move me forward to the next day to receive a closure on the matter. Yesterday I got terrible news but I instantly decided to not stop believing and keep going.
I have never used my Faith for this long a period of time and the sistuation is dire but I refuse to believe that my GOD is not greater than any issue I face.
I'm now, more Determined, Frustrated and Excited all in one while still praising the LORD each day. I still do not have my answer but here is his glory:
I'm talking to GOD with grace and confidence each day.
I'm speaking the words from the bible of GOD's promises to me.
I'm standing on his words because they cannot return unto him void.
Through this process GOD is revealing things I did not know that are hendering my answer and providing me with wisdom to overcome it. It's just amazing when you put your Faith on the line and trust the process of GOD behind the seen.
This is our GOD KING JESUS>>>>

28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;they did eat,they drank,they bought,they sold,they planted,they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
What was there or what happened in Sodoma,and Gomorra,and in the neighboring cities? Well,GOD sent two men there.And they said unto Lot,Hast thou here any besides?son in law,and thy sons,and thy daughters,and whatsoever thou hast in the city,bring them out of this place:For we will DESTROY THIS PLACE,because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord;and the Lord hath SENT US to DESTROY IT-Gen.19:12-13.
And Lot went out,and spake unto his sons in law,which married his daughters,and said, Up, get you out of this place;for the Lord will destroy this city.But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law-Gen.19:14.
Again:Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.Yes, even thus shall it be now,even now,from now on,the difference is that now is sent only one,not two men,and now the order/the command is to DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD OF THE DEVIL,the process of destruction of the Devil's world is already running,understand?
Do you believe or you are like the sons in law of Lot thinking that I'm moking you?No surprise,if so.JESUS said:even thus will be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.Who is he?Michael- Daniel 12:1-3, Matthew 24:15-25 and 1Thessalonians 4:16.
Get ready
Satan will be cast down into the bottomless pit,and his followers- 1Corinthians 6:9-10 and Revelation 21:8-,will be cast into the lake of fire.
Re.20:1-3->1And I saw an angel come down from heaven,having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.And he laid hold on the dragon,that old serpent,which is the Devil,and Satan,and bound him a thousand years...and set a seal upon him,that he should deceive the nations no more
