I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.' (Ecclesiastes 3:10) Hello...

Hello @marks and @Episkopos, The Holy Spirit can be grieved, and He intercedes for us with groans that cannot be uttered. That is very much the wording to which the word 'He' is applicable, don't you think? He is the Holy Spirit of God. (This is holy ground, isn't it, and I feel we should...

Hello again, @Aunty Jane, As I have already stated in reply#3, the baptism performed by John was divinely appointed for one purpose, that the Lord Jesus Christ should be made manifest to Israel. Prophecy concerning John the Baptist, tells us that he came to 'prepare' the way of the Lord, as a...

Hello @Aunty Jane, * John the Baptist tells us the Divine purpose for him baptizing, in John 1:31:- 'This is He of Whom I said, After me cometh a Man which is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come...

Hello @ByGraceThroughFaith, Thank you for both of your entries (replies #1 & #2) The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of God. We see Him evidenced as the Giver of power from on high (pnuema hagion - Luke 24:49), and through the administration of the spiritual gifts He bestowed during the Acts...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, (re: reply#26) I think this question of yours is a fair question, for I too have been thinking along similar lines today, concerning the oil in the lamps of the ten virgins being representative of the Holy Spirit. For if that is so, there is no question of the Holy...

‘Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.’ (Mat 24:42) The Parable of the Ten Virgins ‘Then shall the kingdom of heaven .. be likened unto ten virgins, .... which took their lamps, ...... and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were...

Hello @quietthinker, Interesting points to consider, thank you. My mind goes to Galatians 3:1-8:- 'O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you...

'...,Thy word is truth.' (Joh 17:17)

'But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working...

'All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.' (2Ti 3:16-17) Hello @Bob Estey, This discussion is not about OUR...

Hello @Bob Estey, They were led and inspired by the Spirit of God, that is sufficient for me. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Bob Estey The writings of Scripture are written for our learning, you will agree. However we need to take note of to whom they are written, and at what time, in order to rightly divide the Scriptures before making application of it; for though all Scripture is 'for' us, not all is...

Hello @Bob Estey, That has not been attempted. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Bob Estey That is a disappointing response. For obviously Paul was, by his own admission, a servant of God. However, as an Apostle of the risen Christ, he administered what was imparted to Him. If he was speaking on his own authority concerning women speaking in church then he would...

Hello @Bob Estey, Paul was a called Apostle, chosen by God, instructed by the risen Christ, and lead by the Holy Spirit, how dare you or anyone else question what he had to say. He spoke by divine authority. God is our Maker, and He knows us, He knows our strengths and weaknesses, and has...

'And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.' (Gen 2:18) Hello there, @reformed1689 Adam loved Eve, he named her, she was bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh. God made Eve as a help meet (Genesis 2:18), a companion for Adam...
