Jamie’s Sweet Mind Stuff

I’m Just curious about what you guys think I have to write a paper on it for my Revelation class with Dave Sliker. Ok here it is I am taking on the Resistors that we have heard and learned about in many of our end time teachings. I understand the Redeemed and the Reprobate but I’m not sold on the idea that resistors are a bunch of red neck hillbillies not wanting to follow Jesus or the Anti Christ. We hear so often that this is a time in history that either you will be for God and or against God no middle ground, which if a resister would die then yes they would be on their way to hell but I can’t see them resisting both sides on there own will. I see the extremity of the sixth seal in Rev. 6 and then from there becoming much worse in judgments. Aren’t the Judgments to tri the heart to the core, giving the ones not completely given over time by the mercy of God?

So here is my theory (I also have to give props to Matt Hartke with helping with this also), I think the General Revelation of God has much to do with them resisting for one the Antichrist. In Rom. 1:18-20 “For the Wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. Fro what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse,” so in these few verses it states that man is without excuse that they either receive God by General Revelation even if the gospel is never given to them by another man. The Lord reveals himself through all of his creation. Now that I explained that here’s the meat of my thought, in Acts 10 it talks about Cornelius who was a gentile who feared God. So an angel went to him saying that a man was going to visit him and he should receive him. The Lord was already working on his heart and his works were known by God but yet he was not yet saved. At the same time an angel went to Peter telling him to go to Cornelius to share the gospel to him and when he went and spoke to Cornelius he received Christ. I think that there is defined line between the resistors either their hearts are being more harden by each judgment or they are being provoked by the spirit. I hope this makes sense and I excited to hear what you all think.
