...a true assessment of His Angels? Praise the Lord, you angels of his, you powerful warriors who carry out his decrees and obey his orders! 103:21 Praise the Lord, all you warriors of his, you servants of his who carry out his desires! Ps 103:20–21. I'm consistently hearing in this forum of...

...Till after the Romans afflicted Paul and Silas with many stripes, "beyond measure", before providing the earthquake? About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the...

But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord Acts 9:1 Why did God not bring about his conversion earlier rather than allowing him to sentence so many to exile and death? F2F

The Apostles believed this to be true of the Lord Jesus Christ. What the Lord Jesus Christ did for himself through his sacrifice, he did that we might be saved: but if he had not been saved first out of death through his own offering (his own shed blood), we could not be saved. He has no need...

This Study will be a detailed look into the relatively new Church at Thessalonica and how in their infancy, many false teachings crept in unawares, until the Apostle corrected them with gentleness. Within his guidance he warned of an influence which was in existence then and would be until the...

This thread has no central theme, other than bringing to light Christ's teachings out of Daniel and lessons from Daniel which relate to the Lord Jesus Christ and God's work in him. It will be varied and many! It's a matter for prayer: Dan 2:18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of...

Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. Eccles 9:11 God has control of all chance ; but all chance is not controlled.

Gal 4:1-2 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything. but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. Paul loves to use analogies to express divine principles and truths. Paul has in mind a boy...

Hi all, I've got a presentation coming up shortly, so I thought I would put down some notes regarding this section in Mark 5:21-43. Happy for you to contribute, however please dont be offended if I fail to respond to all of your comments, as I'm using this as a means of preping for a study...

Greetings! Matthew 24:1 Now as Jesus was going out of the temple courts and walking away, his disciples came to show him the temple buildings. 2 And he said to them, “Do you see all these things? I tell you the truth, not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!” After some...

Fascinating. The moral reckoning in America continues! The Beatitudes getting prime time discussion.. Only in America. 8:00 minutes onward. Even so come Lord Jesus!

I'd like to consider a positive study of John's 1st Epistle. Over the years, I've done a number of studies / talks on these Epistles and found them exceedingly rich with insight and comfort. Looking at all three from the heights of an eagle, you could say their emphasis has the following...

Hi all, This OP was sparked by a talk I heard recently which challenged my previously held beliefs on Eve. Many people may not give her a second thought as she appears on the scene early in Genesis then is gone quickly. In the past, I had thought the inspection of Adam and Eve was all about...

Before we begin this section of Scripture its worth considering the Masters teaching (intended audience) leading up to this record. It's really important we see the sequence of thoughts leading up to this complex parable from Luke 15 - 16. The intended audience was clearly and squarely aimed...

Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Who do we do this to? Anyone. If we do it to anyone. We are doing it to Jesus. 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed...

Matthew 25:38 {Saved speaking in reply to Jesus commendation of the righteous) When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you? What I like about this spiritual insight of the Master's is firstly how a non judaistic reveals their attitude of righteousness! You can...

I've noticed in recent threads many Trinitarian Christians ignore the involvement of the Angels in Genesis 1-3. Why is that? Genesis 1:26 The plural noun Elohim is sometimes used with a singular verb and on other occasion's, with a plural verb. The use of both singular and plural verbs in...

Over recent months covering various subjects it has become plain to many in this forum that Christians generally tend to have a bias to reading God's word literally and inferring meaning to the text never intended by the author. The reason for this thread is to discuss study techniques which...

@teamventure as discussed, lets look at this subject of Hell and its origins. Allow me to quote from Thomas Hobbes who uses some colorful language in describing hell. The fire prepared for the wicked is an Everlasting Fire: that is to say, the estate wherein no man can be without torture, both...
