    Good point. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus` manifestation. (Mal. 3: 1) John did this by calling for repentance from the people of Israel in preparation to receive Jesus as their Messiah. (Matt. 3: 1) John knew that he was a sinner as other people. However, the message he presented...

    Hi quietthinker, Good question. I think that Jesus said that John was the greatest born of women, being the last of the Old Testament Prophets, because the Lord was about to usher in His rulership which we know is greater than all.

    Hi Davy, Thank you for responding. Now can you give some scriptures to back up your comments?

    How does the Body of Christ Mature?

    Hi quietthinker, Because on one hand Jesus says John the Baptist was the greatest born of a woman, and then He says but the one least in the kingdom of heaven is greater. One would think, aren`t the ones in the kingdom of heaven also born of women. And then we can think well those in the...

    Hi devin, Yes, to know the love of God is why the Head has enabled us to receive His divine nature, (2 Peter 1: 4). And then of course love `rejoices in the truth,` (1 Cor. 13:

    Hi Scott, Actually, Jesus said a tad more - `Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than Joh the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.` (Matt. 11: 11) Now there is an interesting puzzle.

    Hi Scott, good thoughts there. Now just a comment on `women being silent, and having authority over..` the Greek words relates to being meddlesome and usurping control, not to dominate. Marilyn.

    How does the Body of Christ Mature?

    Hi devin, Yes, the two aspects - attitude and truth. We need both. 1. Good attitude but no truth - thus in darkness. 2. Some truth but bad attitude - still in darkness. `Speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the Head - Christ...` (Eph. 4: 15)

    Revelation. Vision 4. Christ the Judge. Religious Babylon.

    Religious Babylon. The first aspect of Babylon that we are shown is the Religious system. The false prophet brings together all the religions of the world and this is revealed to us in symbolic form as a great prostitute – a great profanity of blasphemy and a violation of sacred things...

    Revelation. Vision 4. Christ the Judge. The City of Babylon.

    THE CITY OF BABYLON The city of Babylon is being rebuilt and it is destined to become the centre of the last Gentile Global Government. The Anti-Christ will rule from Babylon with the 10 Islamic kings, over the whole world. The Political, Economic and Religious aspects of...

    How does the Body of Christ Mature?

    Hi marks, Very good question. I`ll post the Truths again so we can discuss them. The Truths of Christ. Salvation through Christ`s finished work on the cross. (not by works) Holy living by the Holy Spirit. (not by man`s effort) Identifying with Christ`s death through water baptism. (not infant...

    How does the Body of Christ Mature?

    Hi marks, Much there to think upon. Very good, thank you. Just a couple of comments. The unity of the Spirit - as you say `keep` with our attitude. The unity of the Faith - this is in relation to the truths of Christ that we know and stand for. Over the centuries the Holy Spirit has been...

    4.Men are Scorched. Those who have taken the mark of the beast now have terrible sores on their bodies. The sea & waters, (rivers, streams etc) have become bloodied through fish & people dying. The waters would be foul & polluted and with the great heat following, the pain people would be...

    Revelation. Vision 4. Christ the Judge. The 7 Bowls of God`s Wrath.

    The 7 Bowls of God`s Wrath. The song of Moses says that `He will avenge the blood of His servants....` (Deut. 32: 43) And His judgment is `just & true.` (Rev. 15: 3) Thus we see that from the `Holy of Holies,` in the heavenly sanctuary comes forth the last judgments...

    Hi Randy, I agree as per trying for all organisations to have the same theology. That is not what God`s word is meaning. Instead, the Lord is bringing His true believers to stand for those truths I posted. Then in the Lord`s timing He will come for His Body of believers and take us to His own...

    Hi Mark, So, appreciate your encouraging `ticks.` Now, while we `keep the unity of the Spirit,` with our Christ-like attitude developed by the Holy Spirit, there is ALSO the very important aspect (that I`m trying to bring out here), of the `unity of the faith, ` (Eph. 4: 13). This is NOT...
