'Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun...

Hello there, @Daniel Veler, The title used by Paul when addressing God in prayer is, 'The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' (2 Corinthians 11:31; Ephesians 1:3) as does Peter in 1 Peter 1:3. That title hedges truth around in such a way that it leaves no room for anyone other than one...

'But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.' (Heb 2:9)

the Hello @Enoch111, You say that (quote) 'while the body of Christ lay in the tomb, His soul and spirit were in Sheol/Hades.' * The body energised by the spirit (or breath of life) is a living soul. The Lord Jesus Christ, while on the cross, commended His spirit unto God, before giving up...

'Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.' (Joh 5:18) Hello @Bob Estey, Yes, the two verses you have quoted are ones which always cause me to do a little soul searching...

@@Bob Estey * This is the honour that we seek isn't it?:- 'Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire...

Hello @Bob Estey As I read your entry, into my mind came a verse which I looked up, and found the whole passage so good that I am going to quote it all, it is John 5:30-47, in which the Lord Jesus said:- 'I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because...

Thank you, @VictoryinJesus, For sharing your experience with us. What a testament to God's mercy and grace, and His great love for us. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @soul man, I agree that acknowledging the presence of the two natures in the child of God is vital to our spiritual well-being and our peace of mind. :) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord, our fellowship is with the Father and with the Son by the Spirit (1 John 1:3), and our fellowship with each other is reflective of the fellowship that we have had individually there. If that fellowship is lacking then...

Hello @Holy999, I believe that a believer's hope is resurrection life, which takes place on a day of God's appointing. So death takes place before resurrection, unless you are 'alive and remain' until the coming of the Lord, and then the believer will not see death, but the body will be...

'And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.' (1 Cor. 6:11)

Hello David H, No, I am not affiliated to any denomination. Though I am a member of the Church which is His (Christ's) Body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. (Ephesians 1) Within the love of Christ our Saviour our Lord and Head. Chris

'Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.' Eph 1:1-2) Hello @David H, In regard to your use of the words, 'saints' and...

Hello @JohnPaul, There are some men who have a strong feminine side to their nature, and some women who have a strong male side to their nature: affecting not only their behaviour, but their appearance, walk, mannerisms, and vocal range. The problem arises when there is a physical attraction to...

Hi @Pearl, I have been visiting forums for many years now, and there were times when it felt like entering shark infested waters, with violent opposition and calls of 'Heretic' made between those with opposing opinion. It is inevitable that there will be differences and debate for that is what...

'And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that...

Hello again, @GaryAnderson, * Psalm 22:18 fulfilled in John 19:23-24 'They part My garments among them, and cast lots upon My vesture.' (Psa 22:18) 'Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also His coat: now the...

Hello @GaryAnderson, Through Moses the Israelites received the five books of the law, and through David they received the five books of the Psalms (the No. 5, in Scripture, denoting Divine grace). The Psalms rejoice in and instruct on God and His ways:- 1) The Genesis Book:- Psalms 1-14 - (...

The purpose of the Bible? To know God. It is when reading His word that my spirit is washed, and quickened: He chastens me and brings me to tears of gratitude for His acceptance in the Beloved; and for the forgiveness of all my sins. It is when reading that my spirit worships Him. It is when...
