Three Hard Questions (for free-will believers)
1. If God loves all men, including those who receive eternal life and those who suffer eternal damnation, what does the love of God have to do with anyone’s salvation?
2. If God wills for all men to be saved, including those who receive eternal life and those who suffer eternal damnation, what does the will of God have to do with anyone’s salvation?
3. If Christ shed His precious blood for all men, including those who receive eternal life and those who suffer eternal damnation, what does the work of Christ on the cross have to do with anyone’s salvation?

Perhaps James 5:3. knew something we don`t "Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

Regarding the question posed-I have faith in Jesus, as my saviour. He has taken my sin upon himself. All the other stuff is balony????

Andrew Graham wrote:
What deep divide. What is happening to the body of Christ? My heart aches for the division of Believers in Christ that are bestowing great sorrows upon themselves.
I can understand the defence against Rome's pegan religion, but against other brothers in the faith. Why is the Body destroying itself?
I feel religion is begining to rule and tradition over the personal and wonderful walk with the Lord, King and Savior Jesus.
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men. Prov 8:31
How many of us can say we hear His Spirit day and daily through God's spoken word's record for us in the scripture. How many of us can say, I talk to God daily, He is my God and He is my best friend, without Him life wouldn't be worth living?
Don't have your eyes upon the sheep, have them upon the shepard.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
(Charity = LOVE)

How much is your freedom worth to you? Are you willing to sacrifice everyone's freedom due to lack of knowledge and naivety?

JD wrote:
Yes the church and Israel are separate entities as well as the church and gentiles are separate from one another also. Humanity in God's eyes is divided into these 3 groups. However the church is formed from those of the other 2 groups who believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, his death, burial, and resurrection and are indwelt by the Spirit and immersed into the body of Christ by the same Spirit. Jesus is the beginning of the church and the end of the church, the alpha and omega, the beginning and the ending.
The history of mankind does not stop when the church is complete and raptured but the history of it's formation does end. It is destined to rule and reign with Christ from the heavenly city, New Jerusalem throughout eternity. The nations on earth will walk in the light of that city

JD wrote:
The church is the family of God and Israel are the people of God. One is heavenly and the other is earthly. Then there are the gentiles!
1Co 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
We have learned so far;

Believing Jews and believing gentiles make up the church of Jesus Christ. That does not mean that Jews and gentiles will not be saved after the church.

Saint Terry,
At least someone concurs that Rev.4:1 has nothing to do with a rapture, that such an interpretation is gratuitous eisegesis.
But let's hear what the cackle club has to say.

MurrayA wrote:
Could someone please explain to me how:
1. Rev.4:1 is supposed to support "rapture" teaching, without first assuming it in some way, and thereby falling into circularity?

Rev 4-1
Has nothing to do with a rapture,
its what it says, its John telling what happened to him

2. 1 Thess.4:16-17 is supposed to teach the notion of a "silent rapture

Again, no such thing as a "silent rapture

1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Colossians 3:11,12,13,14,15
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfect

" the wicked one is not Satan but antichrist and he is being restrained"
yes, untill indwelling, 2Thessalonians 2:9
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders

" it matters not who the prince of this world is now but: 1) who is holding back the wicked one 2) who is the wicked one"
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

" If my interpretation is right
he is being restrained (at the time of 2 Thes 2:7) by one of the two witnesses
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

Terry,
The word "let" in this instance does not mean what it means to us today
"Let" from katechō
1) to hold back, detain, retain
a) from going away
b) to restrain, hinder (the course or progress of)
1) that which hinders, Antichrist from making his appearance

Let me ask you,
WHO is the prince of this world, at this time.

When Jesus was tempted by satan did he not say all this I will give thee.
How can you give what you don't own.

You help strenthen my point,
satan is running the show right now, his only limits are from God.
And as those limits are removed satan will LET loose more and more evil into the world.
For he is a deciver, the father of lies
not a little man in a red suit. Satan is indeed working on his plan, and his PRIDE blinds him to the ending.

There is no broad agreement who "he who lets" is...
Your speaking of men, the Bible is clear, don't be decived.
When I say
God does indeed "letteth, God allows or lets satan
only he who now letteth will let,
Gods plan of salvation includes satan
God knows satans plan, was he not made that way.
Satan is
that which hinders, Antichrist from making his appearance
