Faith # 7

[Ben1445]

I'm not a JW, disappointed ?

No, I was giving you your own words back. Maybe you forgot. No problem.

Since we're on the subject, What baptist movement denomination are you? Doesn't sound like your theology is sound at all to say that !

Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

It doesn’t sound to me like you know your Bible when you ask.

Apart from Baptist, I’m not part of any denomination, so you’re going to have to give me multiple choices before I know what you are talking about. Maybe it will help if you can answer the same question. What denomination of Baptist are you?

 

[Its_real_for me !]

since Christ is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, salvation in the OT was not planned any differently

Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

You seems extremely confused about prophesy, from the foundation and this is proof that you are. What makes you think that verse has anything to do with salvation of OT folk??? That is talking about worshipping the beast, the anti Christ. IF you read back to verse 2 talking about the beast, and on to 16 about having the mark on thier right hand or thier foreheads tell us that. Names not written in the book of life, The lamb slain from the foundations of the world, Genesis 3:15.... How someone can take something like that completely out of context, is beyond me.

It doesn’t sound to me like you know your Bible when you ask.

I never asked you anything. I'm responding to someone else's thread.

I always been attending non denominational churches. How long have you been reading the bible ?

All men aren't given the ability to believe on Christ, for God hides truth about Christ from them. Jesus indicates this a couple of times, when giving thanks to the Father saying Matt 11:25,26

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

This is according solely to Gods own good pleasure !

And again its indicated in Jesus own words Matt 13:10-11

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

To them that are lost, the Gospel is hid 2 Cor 4:3

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

These will not be given Faith to believe in Christ through the Gospel, because they're lost ! 35
