I would still like to ask you, what is the *Great Deception* GOD will send to the world in the Last Days?
I dunno, dispensationalism?
I agree.
Self-evident statements do not require argumentation.
Those who fail to understand them, likely will not be persuaded to perceive them by such argumentation.
For example, spiritual statements to the believer may be self-evident, while to the unbeliever without a regenerated human spirit, lacks the functionality to perceive such statements of the spiritual domain.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word. The Word of God is not limited to an infallibly written media, but by His Providence He reveals His Word to us through faith in Him.
Sounds like a mixture of Roman Catholicism and charismania.
Where does this “word” comes from and how do you judge whether it is true or not?
Right. So, other than the fact that there is a God (Rom. 1:20), what other "self evident" religious statements do you know to be absolutely true without reference to God’s special revelation?
For example, spiritual statements to the believer may be self-evident, while to the unbeliever without a regenerated human spirit, lacks the functionality to perceive such statements of the spiritual domain.
Then they are not self evident by definition. Where do these “spiritual statements” that believers have come from and what makes them suddenly “self evident”?
“Self evident” means they are evident to all, believer and unbeliever alike. If you need special revelation to discern that something is true (e.g., Jesus Christ is God and the only Savior of the world), then it is not self evident by definition.
Sorry for the delay...
But yes the *deception in Rev 20:7
Do you also rely on prayer for GOD’s wisdom?
The deception in Rev. 20:7 is at the close of the “thousand years” when Satan is released for a brief time to confuse the nations. I wouldn’t want to get into a whole lot of speculation as to how this might play itself out. Most of the things I have read as to what this entails sound hugely imaginative and appeal to our carnal nature.
Do you also rely on prayer for GOD’s wisdom?
I pray for wisdom, if that is your question. Wisdom in understanding the things of God and living a life of holiness is one of the greatest gifts that God can give to His people, after salvation in Christ itself.
Post 183, BTTT.
THE OBAMA DECEPTION.
Gut-chilling documentary:
At 10:30 (ten minutes thirty seconds in) Abe Lincoln quote.
Also,
JFK was the last real American prez.
All since have been puppets of Wall Street.
EVERYONE MUST SEE.
