Why God Wants Jesus To Rule This Sin Cursed Earth For A Thousand Years?







What Is The Purpose Of The Millennium Rule Of Jesus?

Question: Why should God want Jesus to rule over the earth for a thousand years and then at the end of it, want to destroy this sin cursed earth through fire to make it vapour for ever? Is there any specific reason for God doing this? God could end the the world at the end of Armageddon itself and take all the believers to the new heaven and new earth? Why delay for another thousand years to end the world?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

A nice question to think deeply and Scripturally indeed. First of all, the three main reasons people give to God for humans sinning against God since the beginning are,

1) You were not there to guide me and help me overcome sin, so I feared and was afraid, I felt inadequate and naked in myself and I tried to hide myself from the shame of defeat (Gen 3:9-10).

2) The person whom you gave to me as neighbor, wife, father, mother, friend, etc... on earth around me, made me to sin (Gen 3:12).

3) The Devil made me to sin (Gen 3:13).

First of all, are these three questions valid for God to consider, in other words, does it have at least certain level of truth in it?

Though externally it might seem to have some truth in it, the real truth of the matter is, when Adam disobeyed God, it was out of his own volition and will that he became a rebellious being (Rom 5:12). In fact, not only Adam failed in his duty to properly teach his wife what God has conveyed to him and thus she was deceived (Gen 2:16-17; 3:2-3), after Eve was deceived by the serpent in eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, she brought the fruit for him to eat. The first thing Adam could have done was take the matter to the Lord first, in fact if he had taken the matter to the Lord at this point of time, man's seed would not have become inherently tainted with sin nature (Psa 51:5; 58:3; Eph 2:3), instead God could have limited the destruction caused by sin and the wages of it to women, thus making man become the warrior against sin and Satan to cause them to be judged by him.

But sadly Adam ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, without even any second thought because he loved carnally the woman God gave more than the God who gave him life and well being (Gen 3:6, 17). Even though Adam was "with her [i.e. Eve](Gen 3:6)", when she was tempted, he opened not his mouth to convey to her or warn her with the commandment of the Lord which he received from the Lord, which was the cause of the downfall of all humanity in to sin.

In six days God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it, but on the seventh day God rested from all his work, conveying to humans that He would love to fellowship with them and make them energized enough to carry on through His Presence and fellowship for the rest of the week (Gen 1:31; 2:1, 2-3; 3:8). In other words, God wanted to hear the report card of what was happening on earth from the man who was put as in-charge (Gen 2:15).

Thus the tainted man was running away from God, ever since sin nature took control of his life in the garden of Eden (Rom 3:23; Eph 4:18; Isa 53:6), whatever each thought was right, they made it to be a religion to follow and have continued to deny the sin nature within humans that is making them independent and ungodly (Rom 1:21, 22-23).

God wanted to rescue these humans whom he loved, but they never understood that their in-dependency caused by sin nature was the reason sin ruled them deceitfully right from the beginning in the Garden of Eden until today in our times (Judg 17:6; 21:25; Rom 6:16).

God showed his love towards all humanity openly when He sent His only begotten eternal Son of God in to the world to show His light to all humans, in other words, seeing the inability of sinful man to reach out to Him and obey Him, He Himself reached out to man through Jesus Christ and showed to the world that he does not want religious nuts but want humble believer who will live as his children (John 3:16). Thus a great mystery of miracle happened when Jesus the eternal Son of God came to this world, he was the first man to have that spiritual God-connection straight from heaven because He was without sin nature within him (1 Cor 15:46-47; 1 Peter 2:22; 2 Cor 5:21), and thus he began to receive sinners and give them a new life of God within them to make them a New Creation of a breed of people who are fit to serve God and live with Him (1 Cor 15:48-49; 2 Cor 5:17).

Now Christ shows the light of God to the whole world so that people can believe Him and get saved from sin (John 3:18), all those who practice sin and want to be independent in their pursuit of it will only be condemned because they loved darkness as their deed were evil and hated light (John 3:19). All those who are born again will be raised up in their glorious bodies just like Jesus (1 John 3:2-3), and they will live in the Father's house of the new heaven and the earth after the day of rapture (Rev 21:1; John 14:1-2, 3-4; 1 Thess 4:14-16, 17-18).

From the New Heaven and New Earth Jesus will operate along with His saints, to prove that the Kingdom of God rules over the earth (Matt 6:9-10; Rev 19:8, 11-16; 21:1-8). In fact, the Father God who resides in New Jerusalem and who have built the New Heaven and New Earth [i.e. a heavenly country] with his very own hands till the day of rapture (Heb 11:10, 13-16), will be the one who will will waiting for the saints to subdue the old earth and bring it in to subjection (Heb 10:13; Acts 3:21; Col 1:19-20; Php 3:21; 1 Cor 15:28). So that once there are no more enemies of God left on the old earth (Rev 20:7-10), all the Old Heavens and Old Earth will pass away (2 Peter 3:7, 10), and the Father will bring Himself along with New Jerusalem as like a bride towards her husband and will settle it in the midst of the New Earth to be with believing men forever (Rev 21:2, 3), which is the ultimate fulfillment which the Kingdom of God is waiting for (Rev 21:2-3). The apostle Paul has told the Church to look forward for the New Heaven and the New Earth, and not for some other place to reside during the Millennium (2 Peter 3:11-13; Heb 13:14). But the spiritual head quarters for the New Earth and the New Heaven will be Mount Zion which is in the New Jerusalem of heaven (Heb 12:22). In other words, now all the believers in the spirit go on to be with the Lord in the New Jerusalem as they do not have the glorious body still but have only the spirit/soul which enter it (2 Cor 5:8; Rev 6:1, 9, 10, 11). All the martyrs who died for faith will rise up only after the Great Tribulation and will accompany Jesus to rule on earth from the earthly Jerusalem temple for a thousand years (Rev 20:4, 5-6, 9; Matt 8:11).

So we can come to the conclusion, that a day in the sight of God is like a thousand years and thousand years like just a day (2 Peter 3:8). so nearly from the creation of all the things to the present day it is nearing six thousand years. Until now God has been creating a new man for the New Heaven and New Earth, but the day of the Lord is the Seventh Day which will be a thousand years of rest in which God wants all humanity to have fellowship with Him. So all the unbelievers will be filtered through and through and will be sent in to everlasting punishment of hell fire (Matt 25:41), and only the believers who inherit eternal life will be let in to the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus on this present earth (Matt 25:46).

Because these are natural men who were saved, their children will be born with a sin nature in a unsaved state, they will have to believe in Jesus and will have to get saved, or else they will become a rebel against God to die very early or will come against the saints at Jerusalem during the end of all things (Isa 65:20, 21-22; Rev 20:9).

God could end the the world at the end of Armageddon itself and take all the believers to the new heaven and new earth (Rev 21:1), but as we have already discussed, only the sixth day is getting over and the Lord's day which is Millennium is ahead in which He wants to have fellowship with all humans intimately just like He had with the first Adam in the Garden of Eden, so that is the reason God will not want to end the world after Armageddon which will be the final war in which Jesus will fight Antichrist and False Prophet and will send them straight to hell fire along with all his unsaved supporters who will have his seal of mark on their foreheads or their right hand (Rev 19:17-21; 13:16).

So in the Millennium God will answer all humans sinners who were asking the below three questions in the following way :

1) Sinners when they say to God :
You were not there to guide me and help me overcome sin, so I feared and was afraid, I felt inadequate and naked in myself and I tried to hide myself from the shame of defeat (Gen 3:9-10)?

God will answer to them saying :
I will be always be available to every human on earth through My Son Jesus Christ, who will be present on earth at any time, He will keep My peace on earth for a thousand years by love if possible, or by force if not possible by peaceful means (Rev 2:27; Psa 72:8-9; Rev 20:4, 6; Isa 2:4).

2) Sinners when they say to God :
The person whom you gave to me as neighbor, wife, father, mother, friend, etc... on earth around me, made me to sin (Gen 3:12).

God will answer to them saying :
In to the Millennium rule of My kingdom only the righteous will be allowed to enter and stay as my subjects for the rest of the time on earth (Matt 25:31-32, 34, 40, 46).

3) Sinners when they say to God :
The Devil made me to sin (Gen 3:13).

God will answer to them saying :
The Devil who is Satan will be bound by an angel and will be cast in to the bottomless pit for a thousand years (Rev 20:1, 2, 3).

So in spite of giving humans a perfect answer for the three accusatory questions for their failure to stop sinning, after living in the Kingdom of Jesus and sinners multiplying in the Millennium will at the end of it all, will be subject to test again. In this test, Satan will be let loose for one last time to influence those sinners who are present comfortably within his earthly kingdom as unsaved rebels under His authority, when they were given a choice for one last time whether to act by themselves or be subject to the authority of God in obedience to his command, they will surround the camp of the saints and the beloved city under the strong influence of Satan. The sinners who will surround the beloved city of Jerusalem will be like the sand of the sea (Matt 5:35). And fire will come down from God out of heaven and will devour them (Rev 20:7-10).

So why humans after seeing the goodness and peace of God for a thousand years will want to join Satan to rebel against Jesus and the kingdom of God? In it God will prove that it is not just the external conditions or external influence that makes man to sin, but the internal unsaved nature of sin within them that actually makes them sin and become a rebel against God and His light. In other words, man is not just a sinner by choice, but he is a sinner by birth (Psa 51:5; 58:3), who later chooses to practice sin by his own choice (1 John 3:8).

So the Lord asks all humans to believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved from sin (Acts 16:31), those who do not take it that seriously will have to pay the price for their negligence when they will face eternal death for their bad choice of rejecting Jesus Christ (Rev 20:11-13, 14-15).

Is God Three or One, Is It By Law Or Grace?







If Both God Of Jews And Christians Are The Same, Why Then It Is Monotheism Vs Trinity?

Question: If the God of the nation of Israel and the God of Christianity are the same, why the God of Israel who revealed Himself as one God, have to reveal to Christians as the Trinity in unity? The God who revealed himself through the Law of Moses, has to reveal himself through the grace of Jesus?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

Judaism believes the doctrine of monotheism, which means that there is only one God. Duet 6:4 says, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!"

Christianity believes that Trinity is foundational to the Christian faith.

The doctrine of the Trinity means that there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct Persons — the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Stated differently, God is one in essence and three in person. All the three are consubstantial which is of the same substance or essence or nature. In this context, a "nature" is what one is, whereas a "person" is who one is.

These above definitions express three crucial truths: (1) the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons, (2) each Person is fully God, (3) there is only one God. The word "Trinity" comes from the Latin noun "trinitas" meaning "three are one." It was first introduced by Tertullian at the end of the 2nd century but received wide acceptance in the 4th and 5th centuries.

Trinity is a word that cannot be found in the Bible, but the above concept of Trinity was what preached by all the apostles, and this is the understanding about God of the Christians they had in their mind in the first century when they established it under the guidance of Jesus who is the cornerstone. So a couple of centuries later after their death, people wanted to corrupt this concept of one God in essence and three in personhood. At that time the leaders of the Church gathered together and wanted to preserve the true concept of this Christian God, so they formed the word 'Trinity', which means 'three person in unity'.

All through the Bible, God is presented as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is not three gods, but three persons in the one and only God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons. The Bible speaks of the Father as God (Philippians 1:2), Jesus as God (Titus 2:13), and the Holy Spirit as God (Acts 5:3–4). Although they are one God in substance, essence, nature and in the character of their being and make up, yet they play unique role to fulfill His will in the eternal destiny of his own creation. They are three distinct person in tri-unity, which in other words means, inhabiting one another and working together to accomplish the divine design in the universe.

In our limited minds, if we were to use math, it would not be, 1+1+1=3. It would be 1x1x1=1. God is a triune God. Thus the term: "Tri" meaning three, and "Unity" meaning one, Tri+Unity = Trinity. We humans, though we are many, yet we all have the same trait of humanness in our basic make up and ability, to make one human family of humanity, God is three "Persons" who are unique in personhood of their individuality, but have the same essence of deity within them all, in a consubstantial way.

In the Bible, God says, "Let Us make man in our image…male and female He created them." (Gen 1:26-27). You see here a mixture of plural which is 'us' and singular which is 'He' in the pronouns. This shows that both the compound oneness of God's essence, and the triune personhood are contained in the same context to mean that Trinity is the only reasonable explanation to the greatness of describing God in both the singularity of oneness in essence and plurality of triune personhood of God at the same time.

Both the New Testament and Old Testament is full of Scriptures that point to the concept of Trinity as the only truth.

Here are some key verses expressing the concept of the Trinity in the New Testament Matt 28:19; John 15:26; 2 Cor 13:14. Also we can see a clear demonstration of the working of Trinity in both the Baptism of Jesus and the Transfiguration of Jesus. In both of them, the Divine eternal uncreated Son of God was revealed from God the Father through the Holy Spirit (Matt 3:16-17; 17:5).

The Scriptures that clearly points to the Trinity in the Old Testament are, Gen 1:26-27; Isa 48:16-17; in Isa 54:5 we see the word 'Maker' is plural in Hebrew.

Jesus, being God, is the creator of all things, the Bible says: "All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. " (John 1:3). Jesus is not a created angel, He is referred to as the Angel of the Lord, which means uncreated one who limited Himself to look like a angel to serve as the leader of God's angels to serve humanity and the people of God, as the Bible asks, "For to which of the angels did He ever say, "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You"? And again, "I will be a Father to Him And He shall be a Son to Me"? " (Hebrews 1:5).

People may ask was not Jesus told as the one begotten of the Father (John 3:16)? Yes he was the one and only begotten of the Father, which means begotten at his resurrection as Acts 13:33 says, thereby fulfilling Ps 2:7. Paul one of the greatest of the apostles of all time, said that Jesus, "14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell." (Col 1:14-18, 19).

In other words, Jesus was uncreated, co-eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit, co-habiting in each other, co-creators in creation of the heavens and the earth, eternally existent as the 'Great I am' of the Old and New Testament who forgives, the firstborn meaning "the first existing" person in the universe over all creation, exact image of the invisible God. Not only all things were created through Him, but for Him which means Jesus is the very reason for whom all things exist. In Jesus all things find their reason for existence as He is before all thing and within his idea He made all things to exist. If we want to know fully what God is like, we need to look at Jesus in whom all the fullness of God dwells. The Church is directed by Jesus who rose up again as the first Son of God to live immortally as a human by the reason of obedience, so that other sons of God will follow him who has pre-eminence over them all.

We should understand that God chose not to reveal the Trinity in the Old Testament and just the oneness of God in it (Deut 6:4), because the surrounding nations were following idols and gods of their own imagination that has corrupted them and have turned them away from following the living one true God (Rom 1:20-24, 25), God didn't want to confuse His own people with this complicated doctrine of Trinity. Yet God had given enough clues in Old Testament Scriptures to make them think deeply with questions and queries that must make people of Israel wonder about the very concept of Trinity which He had given subtly through implication in a concealed way to reveal the doctrine of Trinity. The God who called Abraham and made him to become a nation, didn't want His people to be misled by the nations around them by them not understanding the tough concept of the trinitarian plurality of the Godhead in person, as these pagans around the nation of Israel worshiped the images of the creature and not the one Creator who is only worthy of all our worship and adoration (Isa 51:2).

THE TRINITY                  FATHER                            SON                             HOLY SPIRIT


Called God             Phil. 1:2                                  John 1:1,14; Col. 2:9       Acts 5:3-4
Creator                   Isaiah 64:8                              John 1:3; Col. 1:15-17     Job 33:4, 26:13
Resurrects             1 Thess. 1:10                           John 2:19, 10:17             Rom. 8:11
Indwells                 2 Cor. 6:16                              Col. 1:27                        John 14:17
Everywhere           1 Kings 8:27                            Matt. 28:20                     Psalm 139:7-10
All knowing           1 John 3:20                             John 16:30; 21:17           1 Cor. 2:10-11

But when God separated the Church, it was people from all language, nations, colors who were in idolatry were saved by God and made to become His people (Hos 2:23; Rom 9:25; 1 Peter 2:10), and therefore with an increased anointing of the Holy Spirit to each individuals in the Church (1 John 2:20, 27), there came a better capacity for the Church to understand the concept of the Trinity (Acts 26:17-18). Law was given by God through Moses, so that they could know their sinfulness and trust Jesus who will give them salvation grace to be saved from sin (John 1:16-17; Gal 3:19, 24; Eph 2:8-9).

Having the Law in their hand, the Jews waited for the Messiah for nearly thousand five hundred years, but suddenly Jesus as the Messiah of God came whom they rejected because He did not fit in to their fleshly mind having no spiritual inclination to study about the two visits of the Messiah first as a suffering person and then later as a conquering person over the whole world, and so the Christians were then chosen by God because they were willing to follow the Messiah whom God sent to save people from their sins (Matt 1:21).

So according to me today in our world Christians do not debate, Monotheism Vs Trinity, but rather declare that Monotheism is within Trinity. So we come to the conclusion that asking the question whether God is three or one, is not right, because God is one in essence which the Christian people affirm, of which the Jewish people misunderstand and disagree without taking in to consideration all the plurality of the name of God as 'Elohim' which is used 4000 times in the Bible. 'El' as singular is used only in the following Scriptures (Gen. 33:20; Num 23:19). The Word 'Lord' which in Hebrew is 'Adonai' is always plural (Gen 18:30; Ex 34:23; Deut 10:17; Joshua 3:11,13; Ps 45:11; 114:7; 135:5; Mal 1:6). When God uses the word 'US/OUR' it does not include angels (Gen 18:16-17; 1 Kin 22:19-22). Angels do not dialogue with God in creation or counsel Him with wisdom for execution when God uses singular or plural pronouns like "I" (Isa 6:8), "Myself" (Gen 9:9), "Me" (Zech 12:10), "Us" (Gen 1:26; 3:22; 11:7; Isa 6:8), "Our" (Gen 1:26), we must understand that God takes no consultation from his creation, so the angels rather obey His Word (Isa 40:13; Rom 11:34), serve Him and so do His will (Psa 103:20-21). Only the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are those whom God dialogues and have fellowship within whenever He is in creative consultation or process or execution (John 15:26).

The plural nouns and pro-nouns applied to God, like US, OUR, Elohim, Adonai are powerful evidence of the Trinity hidden in the Old Testament, to be discovered after the coming of Christ. The almost exclusive use of the plural elohim for God and adonai for Lord, make a strong case that any honest seeker could see. This extensive pattern is irrefutable.

For example, when God said in Genesis 2:24 "the two shall become one [echad] flesh" it is the same word for "one" that was used in Deut 6:4 "The LORD our God, the LORD is one!", people who see one as one in numeral, when we ask them how the husband and wife can become one in person, there they will say it is just symbolic in oneness. If so, we should apply the same meaning here to mean that God is one in oneness and therefore three in person. The two, as male and female, are now one Human — one "Adam" (Gen 3:22, 24). So the three person, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are now one in Godness - one "God" just like many grapes are in one vine (John 15:1; Gal 5:22-23).

The God of the Old Testament is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, statements about the one and only God are not just intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view, which see divine power as shared by several beings, beings which can and do disagree and have conflicts with each other, but oneness and unity of the Godhead is expressed as the core of the apostles teaching in the very foundation of Christianity to express and reveal in the New Testament, what has been concealed in the Old Testament.

If You Say Jesus As God, And God Himself Dies On The Cross, How Then Could He Remain As God After His Death?







How Can God the Maker Die?

Question : How can God die? If Jesus is God and entered in to His creation, how then can God die a death of a man and yet remain as God still? Is it not oxymoron? If you say Jesus as God, and God Himself dies on the cross, how then could he have remained as God after his death?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

This is a very good question, How Can God Die? But to understanding how Jesus as God could really die, we have to go deeper in to Scripture to really understand and agree how it is possible with Jesus.

First of all we need to understand the virgin birth of Jesus in order for us to grasp, how he could be God and at the same time man.

Isaiah the prophet before nearly seven and half centuries before Jesus came prophesied saying, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isa 9:6) and further he said in another chapter, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." (Isa 7:14).

In the above Scriptures we can notice that the child will be born as a human being, but the one who resides within as a spirit in that body will be the "Son" who is given from heaven, He is eternal God who will be called "Mighty God".

Also we see that a virgin was prophesied to conceive a Son who will be called 'Immanuel' which means 'God with us'. First of all how can a virgin conceive? And that too a Son will be born who will be called 'God with us'?

First of all no women who is a virgin has ever conceived without a human seed of a man, when the time of the fulfillment of the prophecy came to pass which was first given by God in Gen 3:15, Mary the mother of Jesus when she was told that the "Son of the Highest" (Luke 1:32) will be born through her, she in fact asked how without knowing a man she will be able to see the fulfillment? The angel Gabriel replied saying that the Holy Spirit who is God will overshadow her and by doing it, He will be placing the eternal Son of God as a tiny human seed to conceive within her, and therefore the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God (Luke 1:33-35). We know that if God can create man and all the universe, he can easily disguise Himself and come as a man to this earth, for nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37). Jesus left all His glory of His privileges as God which He had as the eternal Son of God, and began to live as the wisdom of God for all humans once God planned and created humans on earth (Php 2:7-8). Since then He humbled himself and visited the earth as like a angel in pre-incarnate form (Gen 22:15; 35:9, 11; Exo 3:2; Jos 5:14), but later chose to become a man to die for the sins of humans and redeem them from it (Matt 1:21), that is why when He was about to die, before that He prayed to God to restore the former glory which He had with him before all creation (John 17:5).

Then we know that God is one in essence, yet they are three in persons. The word 'Trinity' was coined to describe and keep safe this truth of the Bible intact without corruption. How do we know that God is three in person? Some people say that if God is three in person, he could also be four, five and more than that also. Why should you stop at three and form a doctrine of Christianity based on that and call it 'Trinity'? The following are the reason I give why there are only three persons in the God-head and not less or more than that?

1) Jesus Himself said that God is just three in person when He described to his disciples that they should baptize a new believer in "the name of [(i.e.) the one and only God] the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt 28:19).

2) Jesus Himself said that "the Father" resides in heaven (Matt 6:9), and the Spirit of God is the one through whom He works to drive demons out (Matt 12:28), and He Himself described Himself as some one who was alive before Abraham was alive on earth because He was the Angel of God who spoke to him from heaven (Gen 22:15-17; John 8:56, 57-58). Jesus has never ever has mentioned any other person as God anywhere in the New Testament.

3) In the Old Testament, we see that God during creation was dialoguing and discussing with Himself in plurality saying, "Let us make man in our image" (Gen 1:26). The Hebrew word used for 'God' is 'Eloheem' which means 'gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used of the supreme God, thus in the very first chapter of Genesis, the necessity of a term conveying both the unity of the one God and yet allowing for a plurality of persons is found (Gen. 1:2, 26). The words "let us" is used else where of God speaking in Genesis dialoguing and discussing with Himself in plurality (Gen 3:22; 11:7). Isaiah the prophet recorded God saying, "for us" in plurality (Isa 6:8) and futher in Isa 54:5 we see the word 'Maker' is plural in Hebrew. There is one statement in the Old Testament that gives a fairly clear indication of the Trinity in Isaiah 48:16, 17, where in verse sixteen, God the Son is speaking. He identifies the Father [the Sovereign Lord] and His Spirit as having sent Him. In the next verse, the Son is clearly spoken of as the Lord. Consequently these verses identify three distinct Persons who are God without denying the fact there is only one God. The Old Testament also makes a distinction between the Lord who is in heaven and the one on earth (Gen 19:24).

4)
God the Father is described and identified in the Old Testament as 'Father' in relationship to His people (Isa 63:16; Mal 2:10), God the Son is identified and described with this following question, Do you know the God's name or His Son's name who ascended in to heaven or descended (Prov 30:4; John 3:13) and He is further shown in Psa 45:6, 7 where we see God the Father uttering a dialogue of praise upon God the Son? We also see God the Father making two statement prophetically about God the Son (Psa 2:6, 7, 12). Also God the eternal Son in His pre-incarnate form in which he visited the people of God as the Angel of the Lord to protect them, provide for them and pronounce God's will and His word to them, in such a appearance he had the power to forgive sins which only God can have (Exo 23:20, 21). The Holy Spirit, or the "Spirit of the Lord," is also mentioned in the Old Testament. In the Book of Genesis we read Him as the Spirit of Creation in the beginning (Gen 1:2). The same Spirit of the Lord is prophetically pronounced as the one who will come upon God the Son who will come to the nation of Israel as its Messiah (Isa 11:2, 3). And in another place the Messiah is seen telling that the Spirit of the Sovereign Lord as the anointing behind the ministry of salvation and healing and miracles (Isa 61:1; Matt 12:28). The Spirit of God is distinguished from the Lord in the account leading up to the Flood (Gen 6:3). The Trinity is also foreshadowed in the triple benediction of Numbers 6:24-27. The doxology of Isaiah 6:3 also gives hint of the Trinity. When Jacob blessed his son Joseph, he used the name of God three times. Each time God's name was identified differently and the triple benedictions are consistent with the doctrine of the Trinity (Gen 48:15, 16).

5) Although the Trinity is not explicitly taught in the Old Testament, the basis of this doctrine is certainly found there. This is what the New Testament saints who heard the concept of Trinity from the first apostles of the Lord Jesus, when they had died, to keep the doctrine of the oneness and plurality of God to be intact at the same time, without any one to disown or distort either one of them, had formed the word 'Trinity' so that apostates cannot destroy the true concept of one God in essence but three in person.

Having seen both in the Old Testament and New Testament alike, God cannot be more than three because only the three names of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are mentioned as God and having the essence of God, and all other being have been told to be created and have come out of them through their creative creation. So there cannot be more than one God in essence of their Character and three in person-hood.

We see even during the time of Jesus' baptism, we see the Father's voice coming out of heaven uniquely, the Holy Spirit of God descending from heaven like a dove and alighting upon Jesus who was on earth at that time, thus we see three person but still those three with the same essence of God in their character at the same time (Matt 3:16-17). We see humans as one family of a type of beings with humanness, like them God is one of a essence of type and character in the Godness whose name is one, but three in person (Deut 6:4).

If Jesus was just one person in the Godhead, you could ask the question at least with a logical human point of view, If Jesus was God in the flesh, how could God die? But as we know that the God the Maker is one God in essence, three in person, Jesus could die as a human, yet remain as God in the spirit working with tandem coherence with the other two person of the Trinity. In other words, God is the Spirit (John 4:24), who created the material universe out of nothingness of non material words (Heb 11:3; Rom 4:17).

Because Jesus who through the virgin birth could miraculously be one hundred percentage man, and one hundred percentage God (1 Tim 2:3, 5; Rev 1:8; John 8:58), Jesus having entered in to His creation, was able to be still God in his spirit, but yet die a death of a man and yet remain as God still.

Jesus died on the cross, yet willingly he died by giving His spirit willingly in to the hands of the Father God in heaven (Luke 23:46), we should never forget that Jesus as God had right to give up his own life or retain it in his own body but he never used the God power for Himself or anyone, apart from the will of the Father in heaven (John 10:17-18). In other words, by agreement, Jesus even though God, from the time of his birth to death on the cross, he walked as God's Son by inheritance (Php 2:6-7), submitted unconditionally as the slave of God (Mar 10:45; John 13:5) and learned obedience by suffering as the Son of Man (Heb 5:8), so that all humans can be delivered from sins and can receive the eternal life and friendship with God (John 17:3).

One simple thing we must understand as humans, death is not the end, it is the beginning of a new life as the soul/spirit returns to God who had given us at the time of our birth. The righteous people who believed Jesus and have died will spend their life with God, and the unrighteous unbelievers who have never believed Jesus as their Lord and Savior will wait in the tormenting prison called Hades for a period of time, after which God will judge them and will send them in to eternal hell fire forever where his Presence will be no more. Jesus as God of the whole earth, just shed his physical body and have gone to heaven in his spirit, from where he was still the ruler of the whole universe. Jesus as God was immortal, the same Jesus as man was mortal as all humans (1 Tim 6:16). Jesus was perfect God, perfect human.

So only a unlearned person who have no knowledge about the virgin birth of Christ, the trinity of God, the independent spirit-life of Jesus even without His body and the knowledge from the Scripture that Jesus was, is and forever will be God for eternity will only not be able to understand, how Jesus could be human and still be God and also die as God. Those who clearly understand the above information will clearly know that Jesus as God Himself can limit himself to die on the cross, and still remain as God even after his death. Thank you.

RE: Took Immersion Baptism, Can We Be Sure His Soul Has Been Saved?







He Was Godly Gem Of A Person, Was He Saved?

Question: I know a person in our family who was in coma for two months. He was on ventilator for fifteen days, then came out of it with tracheotomy done. Even while in a coma, his response in his eyes was different whenever his son returned from his office, and a difference we saw whenever his wife touched him. Gospel songs were being played with head phones in his ears. Three days before his death, when his wife sang gospel songs his look was very different. Just before his severe head ache due to brain aneurysm, he knelt and prayed, the family noticed. He was a godly gem of a person, and decided to get immersion baptism, as he had only the sprinkling, traditional baptism. That only was missing in his life. Can we be sure his soul has been saved?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name! First of all I have previously shared that a person who does have a conscious mind to think only can decide to get saved even during coma, because believing is in the heart and therefore thoughts must be expressed to God before the body/soul leaves the body forever which is what death actually is.

Once a person's spirit/soul leaves the body, then eternal fate is already sealed forever, as it is confirmed through the Scripture that says, "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." (Heb 9:27). This Scripture teaches us that there are no second chance we as humans get after our death to get saved, though there are a lot of experiential stories that people say that God gave them a chance for them to return to life after death to be a testimony to others, it is not a rule that God keeps but rather a exception in His sovereignty.

To me from what you have shared it seems to me that the person of your family who was in coma for two months, did indeed had a consciousness of his surrounding and internally was able to respond to external stimulus. Such people when they hear the good news of the gospel through the mercy of God and His grace through whatever available means and methods, have a great opportunity to realize their inability to save themselves eternally and reach out to God to save them from their sin. Yes people who choose Christ at the last moment before their death by being convicted by the Holy Spirit (John 16:7, 8-11), can receive the righteousness of Christ like the robber who was crucified with Christ got saved at the last moments before his death (Luke 23:40-43).

Yes our face is the window of our soul and whatever happens inside our soul, automatically our face will reveal it. Even though the body of your family member was weak and fragile, yet as the Bible says, "a happy heart makes the face cheerful" (Prov 15:13). So the goodness of God that was released in his heart through the joy of salvation (Psa 51:12), must have caused his face to shine or become brighter.

Even there was some external evidence of the internal faith that God has wrought in this person of your family was evident, when he knelt and prayed, decided to take the immersion baptism by conviction from the Holy Spirit, etc... We know that any faith that does not have works is dead, so the external evidence of internal faith is works that glorify God through our simple obedience (James 2:26; Eph 2:8-10).

As far as I have heard from your side, I believe that this person of your family must have come to believe that Jesus Christ the Savior as the Lord of his life, so let us look forward to seeing those saints who have gone before us to heaven as a witness of what the Lord can do by the mercies and grace of His love for us sinners who deserve hell fire (Heb 12:1; Lam 3:21-23; Psa 130:3-4). But in Christ Jesus through His benevolence we shall forever be blessed through His grace and faith that is our victory as long as we are present alive in this earth (Eph 1:3; 2:4-5; 6-7; Tit 3:5-7).

RE: Can A Person's Soul Respond To The Blood Of Christ Without Their Right Conscious Mind?







Can A Brain Dead Person Get Saved?

Question: First let me ask, do you believe a person's soul can give response to the Blood of Jesus even when they are not of right mind. The Bible says by the word of mouth only can one be saved. Being in a comatose state is the same as being dead. Can this person be saved? Yes and no, the mind is willing, but there mouth cannot speak. So I would say, no, that person cannot be saved in this state of mind. What do you think?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name! Each human is a spirit, with a soul and covered with a dirt and dust body. The spirit helps us connect with God, the soul helps us connect with ourselves and the body helps us connect with the world. And all the three are interconnected and interdependent. The spirit and soul are immaterial, but the body is made of earthen dust. We cannot separate the three from the day we are born until the day we die, which is appointed by God (Heb 9:27), or before that time due to our unwise negligence of taking care of our body (Psa 90:12). Once we die, our spirit and soul departs from us.

First of all, I would like to tell you that salvation is a conscious decision made by our human will. In other words, when we come to be convicted by the Holy Spirit to understand that we are sinners bound to hell fire, then we lift up our head to a supernatural God who has created us, so that God sees our sincere desire for freedom and liberty, and thus acts on behalf of us to reveal Jesus our Savior who has already died for our sins and for the sins of the whole humanity (1 Cor 15:1-4). So when we believe the gospel of Jesus Christ we get saved from sin and receive eternal life which cannot be taken up from us for eternity ahead (Eph 1:13-14; John 10:28-29). O what a wonderful Savior!

To believe the Word of God, we do not need a logical mind, nor a favorable emotion, but a childlike faith to trust that God is true, holy and righteous (Ezra 9:15; Psa 18:30; 9:8; 98:9), and therefore we can trust Him to fulfill His promises and reward us as we believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who believe in Him (Matt 18:3; Heb 11:6; Psa 85:10; 145:17; Deut 32:4; Rom 7:12; Lev 19:2).

So a righteous God, in His justice will not do what is wrong in His sight. Now will He allow the unrighteous thing that the wicked does to take place without judgment for it now or even later (Psa 37:13, 1-2)? Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right? (Gen 18:25). We should understand the basic, right from Adam and Eve after their fall in to sin (Rom 3:23; 5:12), Satan through the sin nature within humans have continued to control and lead humankind outside of the will of God (Matt 6:11). When we return to God in faith, then we learn to walk again in the will of God (Rom 3:21-22). The Lord now in the New Testament times has promised justice and righteousness to all those who approach His court in heaven (Luke 18:7).

In other words, God saves automatically all those children where ever they are in the world, who are below the age of accountability as they have not come to a mature state of having the knowledge of good and evil to take a good choice to make a decision for or against Christ (Rom 7:9; Deut 1:39).

Once in to the age of accountability, we are considered by God as responsible adults who will be made accountable for our choice to accept or reject Christ consciously (Matt 16:2-3, 4). Our choice will make eternal repercussion. That is, accepting Christ will forever connect us in to God's Presence through our born again spirit (Luke 23:43; Matt 25:34; Heb 13:5). Rejecting Christ will doom and damn us away from God's Presence and goodness forever and ever (2 Thess 1:8-9).

God sees our thoughts and responds to us by giving us our salvation and all needs along with it (1 Sam 16:7; Psa 94:11; 2 Tim 2:19; Psa 51:17; Rom 8:32). So belief saves us (Eph 1:12-13), but confession confirms and affirms our decision and determination to follow Christ to the church, the world and the devils, it also shows that we are saved (1 Tim 6:12-13; Rev 12:11). When a person is dying and at the last moment of time believes in his/her heart, in a conscious coma state and accepts Christ as his Lord and Savior, there is nothing much left to tell the world, church or the devils about his salvation (Rom 10:10, 11). Every man's speech starts with a thought, so a man to talk with God is so easy because he can talk with God through his thoughts (Prov 23:7). Once a person is saved in a conscious coma and dies thereafter, angels come and take them straight to the presence of God (Luke 16:22).

The Word of God says, "with the heart one believes unto righteousness" (Rom 10:10a), which means when a person expresses to God in his thoughts his desire for salvation, God understands it and gives to him the salvation of soul that he requires, which makes him righteous before God, man and the devil (Psa 139:2, 4). Further as the same Scripture continues saying, "with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Rom 10:10b), which further makes us understand, for the devil to take off his evil hands off us in our lives, he needs to hear the Word of Mouth which is expressed through words because he cannot understand our thoughts which only God can. The devil responds to our words, while the one and only omniscient God can only respond to our thoughts to give us salvation from sin (Rev 12:11, 17). We become officially the citizens of God's kingdom when we believe in the Lord Jesus, and God responds to us by imparting His very own righteousness to our spiritual account in heaven and writes our names in the book of life (Rev 3:5; 2 Cor 5:21; 1 Cor 1:30; Luke 10:20). Thus our belief transfers us from the kingdom of Satan to the Kingdom of God the Son Jesus Christ and from the power of Satan to God (Col 1:13; Acts 26:18). But our confession dislodges Satan "unto salvation" (Rom 10:10b), which means the power of Satan and his hold over us as unbelievers gets totally broken as we speak the confession of our brand new testimony of salvation against Satan.

Unconscious coma which is brain death make a person reside in the body, but with no conscious state to think and act within the body. Such people cannot be able to believe as the Word of God says, "6 [Remember your Creator earnestly now] before the silver cord [of life] is snapped apart, or the golden bowl [of conscious thoughts which can be legally expressed to God while the spirit/soul remain in the body (Rev 5:8; Prov 25:11)] is broken, or the pitcher is broken [when the spirit/soul departs from the body] at the fountain [of God from where it originated (Eccl 12:7)], or the wheel broken at the cistern [and the whole circulatory system of the blood ceases to function]." (Eccl 12:6, AMP). The intermediate state between life and death, is a thin line where soul/spirit cling on to the body, either by the mercies of God for the appointed time of God or be sustained by external medical technology that extends human life to exist in this state to a certain extent by expecting a person to come back to life by miraculous intervention (Eccl 3:2). But certainly wickedness will not rescue the wicked from the face of death to regain consciousness to take a good choice for Christ to receive eternal life, when people are in this state between life and death (Eccl 8:8, NLT). Though the medical technology may extend their life in a permanent vegetative state (i.e.) some months (3 in the US and 6 in the UK), they will not be able to get saved without consciousness of the soul life.

More than 50% of comas are related to head trauma or disturbances in the brain's circulatory system, like trauma, swelling of brain tissues, bleeding, stroke, blood sugar, oxygen deprivation, infection, toxins and seizures, toxic-metabolic encephalopathy, anoxic brain injury, persistent vegetative state, locked-in syndrome, brain death and medically induced in ICU. In the above types of coma, there are certain types of coma people remain awake and alert and with a normal mind. Brain death is a vegetative state where only breathing, circulation, and sleep-wake cycles exist without the person being unaware of his or her surroundings and incapable of voluntary movement.

So a brain dead person or someone in coma of vegetative state of severe degree cannot be saved, and a person with consciousness of the soul before actual death happen or become alive can be able to get saved. A person who is conscious, yet remain unresponsive to the external stimulus or surrounding can be able to get saved by the grace and mercy of God, if God reaches to them either supernaturally through a dream or a vision of reality or through a human messenger who speaks to him in to his ears. Yet I would say, eternal life should never be put at stake to the last minute, it is the riskiest thing we do and should choose Christ when we are well and good in to our adult youth life itself. God Himself encourages and desires for people to get saved in their youthful age itself (1 Tim 2:3-4; Eccl 12:1).

Will God Reveal To Someone About Somebody's Salvation In Comatose?







Can A Person In Comatose State Be Saved?

Question: I believe a person can be saved in a comatose state even when they are brain dead, for if the ventilator is still working, their soul and spirit can hear. And I have seen it done and have gotten God's revelation that they were given a chance in that state. What is your take on it?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus name! I agree that a person even before death at the last moment of his/her life can be saved, this we have seen it described in the incident of the two robbers who were crucified on the left and the right side of Jesus. During that time when it all started, both the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing saying, "He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'" (Matt 27:43-44). This was a prophetic event which displayed two sinners at the side of Jesus for whom Jesus was actually dying in order to rescue them from eternal death (Mark 15:27-28). But something miraculous happened in front of Jesus at that time, even as one was continuing to blaspheme Jesus, the other criminal on the other side was deeply convicted of his own sin by the Holy Spirit and therefore suddenly a change happened within him that made him accept Jesus as His Messiah in his heart (John 16:8-11). Suddenly he asked the other thief on the other side, "Don't you even fear God when you are dying? We deserve to die for our evil deeds, but this man hasn't done one thing wrong."

Then turning to Jesus in repentance he asked, ""Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom." Jesus replied back saying, "“Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:39-42, 43). So I believe that when a person is conscious and have the ability to think and make a choice as one of the robber did, Jesus is always ready to welcome even the vile of the worst of sinners, in to His kingdom by saving them through His blood shed for them (Heb 9:14).

It is said in the Bible, "Rachel was dying. As she took her last breath, she named her son Benoni [Son of My Sorrow], but his father named him Benjamin [Son of My Right Hand]." (Gen 35:18, GWT). But in this instance, Rachel though she was dying, yet it was in her last breath that she named her son...she was conscious enough to utter that word in her mouth.

God says that "human beings, life breath is in their nostrils...." (Isa 2:22, ISV).

As the New Testament reveals, "...when Jesus had cried-out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit." (Matt 27:50), which means once Jesus gave up the last life breath, he died and therefore from that time on was officially declared dead (John 19:30, 34).

The Bible reveals, "None of us can hold back our spirit from departing. None of us has the power to prevent the day of our death. There is no escaping that obligation, that dark battle. And in the face of death, wickedness will certainly not rescue the wicked." (Eccl 8:8, NLT).

So Biblically we can see, that a person dies only when he gives up his last breath which is not in his control, except for Jesus who had voluntarily choice either to give up His last breath in to the hands of His Heavenly Father or retain his life because He held the power over death and life in His own hands as the only begotten sinless Son of God and perfect man (John 10:17-18; 19:30; Luke 23:46; 1 Pet 2:22; Pro 18:21). For example, "...Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age." (Gen. 25:8, cf. Gen. 49:33; Job 27:3; Luke 23:46; Mark 15:37).

We know from the Scripture that when a person dies, there is a separation of the spirit/soul from that person's body (Jam 2:26; Heb 4:12). Man being a tripatriate being (I Thess. 5:23b), will leave the body when he gives up the last breath which is the spirit. So for a saved person, they will be carried by the angels to heaven where the Lord is present in His Presence (Luke 16:22; 2 Cor 5:8). But for a unsaved person who dies, they will be buried by people, and their spirit/soul will be immediately placed by God in torment of Hades (Luke 16:23). Hades is the temporary place where the spirit/soul of wicked dead reside, and are punished and kept in imprisonment until the final judgment of God which is appointed and named as 'White Throne Judgment' happen at the end of the present earth in which it will be burnt to become a vapor (Rev 20:11-15; 2 Peter 3:12).

Coma, from the Greek word "koma," meaning deep sleep, is a state of extreme unresponsiveness, in which an individual exhibits no voluntary movement or behavior. Furthermore, in a deep coma, even painful stimuli (actions which, when performed on a healthy individual, result in reactions) are unable to affect any response, and normal reflexes may be lost. A person in a state of coma is described as being comatose. Some patients are able to emerge from a coma. In others, the coma may progress to a persistent vegetative state in which the functions of the brainstem and circulation remain relatively intact or may be supported with assistive technologies. Patients in irreversible coma may meet the criteria of brain death.

Doctors who ask the stories of people who were in coma, always consider it as hallucination, which means an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present.

The Bible is clear about how to receive salvation that Jesus gives, "8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”" (Rom 10:8-13).

To call on the name of Jesus, we need to be conscious in our body, further the word which is in our heart need to be confessed with our mouth. Believing is a conscious decision, it cannot happen in a brain dead comatose when somebody is unconscious. The person in coma may even be able to see the spiritual reality of their soul/spirit for the first time in their entire life during coma, during which if by God's mercy and grace they were sustained to live in the body further and come to consciousness to make them even realize their former state of unbelief which due to revelation of the reality of God makes them seek God when they become conscious enough to know that they are unsaved and they need salvation, but yet still only as they come back to consciousness, and then confess with their mouth Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God has raised Jesus for their justification from sin, self and Satan's accusation, they will be saved (Rom 10:9).

Bible does not guarantee a salvation during brain dead comatose. If they go in to vegetative state or brain death for them to only sustain with assistive technology, only the doctors with conscience or God showing mercy to revive him back in to consciousness can only surely help at those times, so that if they come to consciousness and hear the gospel to choose salvation which then can only save such a person, or else they will die in their sins and will go in to condemnation (John 8:24), as it has been revealed that it is appointed for man once to live and after that the judgment of God will follow their lives (Heb 9:27). The doctors are as much responsible for the life of human beings as like a preacher who preaches the gospel to get the sinners saved to eternal life (Luke 5:31; Mark 6:11).

What if they were able to hear what someone is saying during coma, but were never able to open their eyes or give any response, or that their normal reflexes were lost? In such a scenario if someone have really come with a burden for this man to get saved and preaches the gospel to him even without a response from him, and prays for his healing (Rom 10:14), I agree that there is that one last chance for him to get saved before he dies or if God shows mercy for him to come back to responsiveness of organs to live a life for the Glory of God. The word of God which comes through the gospel has the power to quicken a dead heart with the life of God from heaven when it is believed (Rom 10:16-17). But this scenario is an exception because the person in this type of light coma had consciousness enough to hear the gospel, but had no way to express to the outside world of what he was able to see with his heart and soul. The long suffering of the Lord is salvation, so no man should delay to receive the gospel by believing it. Tomorrow may become too late for that person to receive salvation, as many people who die in sudden accidents leave their body even before they could think or realize what was happening to them? That is why to the rich foolish man who felt that he had no need for God and made comfort and money as his god while he was alive and well on earth, God asked him, "What will you do if you soul is required of your today? Whose will those earthly goods be which you have provided for yourself?" (Luke 12:13-21).

Condemnation of God is nothing but the light of Jesus has already come in to the world, but men love the darkness of Satan rather than light, because their deed are evil which makes them remain in darkness rather than in light (John 3:19). Like cockroaches they scurry for cover and run to remain in darkness, rather than remain in the light of God through which Jesus cleanses people from their sins and justifies them (1 John 1:7, 9).

Why should a man wait for the time of death to be saved, when God Himself tells all humans to remember their Creator in the days of their youth before the difficult days [of their life of comatose] come (Eccl 12:1)? Further God says, "In the acceptable time [when you are alive and well] I have heard you, and in the day [when life exists] I have pleaded you to take a good choice to be saved." (2 Cor 6:2, Paraphrased).

God desires all humans to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim 2:4), but that does not mean that God will force himself against a human will or override the will of humans to save them.

Even when Jesus saw the faith of the friends who had broken through the roof to bring their suffering friend who was paralytic, Jesus said to the paralytic man "Son, your sins are forgiven you," because he was conscious at that time and put his faith in Jesus to become a child of God, so his sins were forgiven and then he was healed by Jesus to shows that He has the power on earth to forgive sins too as the God of all mankind who is worthy of all worship, adoration and honor (Mark 2:2-12).

First type : I do not believe that when a person is brain dead, he can be saved. Second Type: But if a person is conscious enough to be aware of the surrounding to hear the gospel, and can consciously take a decision for Christ even without the ability to be physically responsive to express his belief of heart, then he can be saved. You might have seen coma person of the second type which I have spoken and hence your revelation might be right in this regard, but not for the first type as I have explained above.

Much Blessings....
