Bible Question: Could this then mean that these are seven classes of saints of God, or seven different positions that a saint could find ones self in? |
Bible Answer: It is interesting to note that John was commanded to write down these things. Seven times write to the 'angel of the church' (singular). Then at the end of each letter we read - "he that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit (singular) saith unto the churches (plural). If you can bare it - I guess you could say that one could find themselves in each of these positions or states. NOTE: If any other person is reading this, Please put all that is said into context (read the previous threads). I am not writing any kind of presidence for a doctrine here. Personally and truthfully - I have re-read these letters again, and, during my lifetime, I could have been a member of each of these churches. Only by the Grace of the Cross are we here! Peace! |
