'The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He shewed Himself alive after His passion by many...

Hello there, @marks I can sit alongside anyone in a fellowship meeting quite happily, regardless of any differences between us doctrinally: for faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, as our Saviour and Lord is the bond between us. The problem comes when the differences are being expressed from the...

Hello @marks, I don't attend a place of worship, and so for me this verse has had to be carefully considered. I would love to be part of a Christian fellowship, for it must be wonderful to be one of others of like mind: who draw together with one purpose - to worship and serve God within their...

'That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.' (1Jn 1:3) Hello @marks Yes, the quality of the fellowship within any assembly, regardless of it's denomination, is...

Hello @Lambano, I find myself constantly having to be reminded that in me, that is in my flesh, there is no good thing: for I am still upset with myself for obviously falling short in my flesh, and being upset that what I do is what I most want not to do. This can interfere with my ability to...

Hello @Lambano, This is a tricky one, because although we have been forgiven for our sins, I believe that it is only right that we say sorry, as you would to a loving Father, whose love you are assured of. You still say, "Dad, I'm sorry, I have done wrong", "thank you for forgiving me". In...

Hello @soul man, Audios/Videos - BibleUnderstanding Ministry The link takes you to a list of the contributors to the audio library, from where you can go to the list of the subjects covered, and the audio's themselves. I have loved certain audio series, such as 'The Finished Work' by Charles...

Hello @Pearl and co., I have enjoyed reading through many of the entries on this thread. I find prayer difficult when I sit down with that intention, so stilted and unnatural. Yet sometimes when I do not expect it prayer comes, and flows readily, which is wonderful. During the day I find...

Hi @soul man Yes, they received the word spoken with all readiness of mind, but searched the Scriptures daily to make certain that what they had heard was indeed so. This is something we should all do, isn't it? The compilers of 'The Berean Expositor' that you refer to, ask that all that...

Hi @soul man No, my study is a solitary one, the forum my outlet. :) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @soul man, No, I am not a preacher or a teacher, just someone who loves the word of God. My greatest influence in regard to the study of God's word, are the works of, 'The Berean Publishing Trust': A teaching ministry, which publishes books and produces audio tapes on the principle of 2...

Hello @soul man, I am sorry, for I realise that I did not stick to the brief: re. Wisdom. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:23-31:- But we preach Christ crucified, .. unto the Jews a stumblingblock, .... and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, ...

Hello @Enoch111 Sheol/Hades both refer to the place of the dead: whatever that 'place' may be, whether it be a grave or a tomb, it is where the body lies, and where corruption takes place, hidden away from public gaze. * Hell, Hades and Gehenna, all refer to the place of the dead, whether it...

'Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent He, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of...

Hello @theefaith, 'Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father.' (John 10:17) :)

'Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, ... ' (Heb 3:1-2a)

Hello @soul man, In Ephesians 3:14-21, and the prayer found there: the request is that we would be strengthened with might in our inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith, that we being rooted and grounded in love, may with all saints know, what is the length, depth, breadth and...

Hello @Moriah's Song, Christ Jesus the risen Lord is at God's right hand in the heavenlies, far above all principality, power, might and dominion. A position of great power and authority. He is our great high Priest, our Intercessor. Praise God! The Church which is His Body, await His...

'To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in (or among) you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I...

'Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual...
