'For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also...

'But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.' (Gen 2:17) Hello @Jay Ross With respect, this response (for which I thank you) which has much within it to consider and bring to the Scriptures for...

'But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.' (Gen 2:17) 'And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no...

'I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of...

@Jay Ross, @marks Hi there, Surely if the second death were intended in any of those verses, quoted by Jay, it would have said so. For God says what He means and means what He says. 'But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with...

'My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.' (1 John 2:1) Hello there...

'And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, (Revelation 1:16) and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even Him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness...

'Then cometh the end, (when?) when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.' (1 Corinthians...

Hello @Truth7t7, The first of two resurrections are recorded as taking place in Revelation 20:1-6, and those who have part in the first resurrection will 'live again', and reign with Christ for 1,000 years. They are those who are first seen in Revelation 6:10, who cried out to the Lord, 'how...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, You have expressed it perfectly, thank you. As you can see, I am trying to address them now, but how successful I shall be in doing so is another thing. o_O Thank you for empathising with me In Christ Jesus Chris

'And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal...

Hello @Truth7t7, I refer to the various differences of understanding expressed within the responses received, including your own. I will look at the entries again, and see what I can address, but I must admit to finding the prospect daunting. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Jay Ross, The complexity is not within God's word: it is the multitude of opinions and interpretations in the responses received that I have difficulty unravelling. Man's words, and not God's. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.' (Act 17:11) Hello @Jay Ross, The forum is open to anyone to discuss the word of God, it is not intended to be a...

@Lambano, @VictoryinJesus, @marks, @Truth7t7, @Jay Ross, @Enoch111, @nenagana, @quietthinker, @Cassandra Hello there, Thank you all for contributing to the thread. I am shocked at the divergent nature of the opinions expressed. I will not respond to any, for I believe only the word of...

Hello @Jay Ross, Thank you for responding. Regarding Hosea 6:1-3, and your reference to the word, '... After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up and we shall live in His sight.' The words, 'After two days', refer to two days (literally) after Israel's national...

Hello @marks, Yes, with the repentance of Israel, they would, presumably, have taken up their Divinely appointed role as Priests unto God among the nations, and the gentiles would have received the Gospel of the Kingdom as promised in (Matthew 24:14). What would (again presumably) not have...

Hello @Jay Ross, Matthew 16:28-17:1-13, Mark 9:1-9: and Luke 9:27-36:- As you have said subsequently, these three passages show both the Lord's prophecy and fulfillment. Yet also, had Israel received the Lord's message and acknowledged Him as their Messiah during the forty year period...

'But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.' (Mat 15:24) 'He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.' But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: ... ' (Joh...
