Hello again (finally) 'Adon' = Is the Lord as Ruler in the earth. 'Adonai' = is the Lord in His relation to the earth; and as carrying out His purposes of blessing in the earth. With this limitation it is almost equivalent to Jehovah. 'Adonim' = is the pural of Adon, never used of man...

Hello again, 'Eloah' = is Elohim, Who is to be worshipped. Eloah is God in relation to His will rather than His power. The first occurrence associates this name with worship (Deuteronomy 32:15-17), so it is used when contrast is being made with false gods or idols. Eloah is essentially...

Hello again, 'Elohim' = The Creator The first occurrence of this word connects it with creation (Genesis 1:1). It indicates His relation to mankind as His creatures. Elohim is God the Son , the living 'Word' with creature form to create. (John 1:1; Colossians 1:15-17; Revelation 3:14), and...

Hello there, GOD is immutable (unchangeable). Yet He became everything that was needed to fulfill His purpose, and to provide for the needs of His People: as is evidenced by the Jehovah titles found in Scripture:- Jehovah-Jireh = 'Jehovah will see, or provide' - (Genesis 22:14)...

'What time I am afraid I will trust in Thee' (Psalm 56:3) Dear God and Father of our Lord Jesus Chris, We thank you that your hand is not shortened that it cannot save, and that your love and grace is given to us without measure. We pray for those in Afghanistan, and throughout the world...

Paul said:- But this I confess unto thee, .. that after the way which they (the Jews) call heresy, .... so worship I the God of my fathers, ...... believing all things ........ which are written in the law .......... and in the prophets: And have hope toward God, .. which they (the Jews)...

'God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, Whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;' (Heb 1:1-2a) Hello @theefaith, That which was Divinely...

Hello @stedaleve, We can never be worthy by our own merit though can we? Within the love of Christ our Saviour, Our Lord and Head. Chris

Hello @theefaith, Your summary was incorrect, that is what caused the offence. You ascribed to me a belief which I do not hold. For I believe that the Bible is the sum of all Divine revelation. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @theefaith Please do not misrepresent me. Deceitful wiles and deception are the tools of Satan, please do not use them. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @theefaith You have quoted 2 Scriptures to me (Luke 3:2 & 1 Corinthians 11:23), as examples of how the word of God came unto John the Baptist, and to Paul, and there is no doubt that they did receive Divine instruction, for we are told so quite clearly: and what was revealed to them is...

Hello @theefaith, The word 'limited' is unsatisfactory: for God is not limited, neither are His words: for they are 'spirit' and they are 'life'; they are 'quick' and 'powerful' and sharper than a two-edged sword. I believe also that they are the sum of all Divine revelation. Thank you In...

Hello @theefaith, The Church which is the Body of Christ, referred to in Ephesians 1:22-23, is the Church over which Christ is the Head. Referring to Peter's words in Matthew 16:16, which were a revelation from God the Father (Matthew 16:17), spoken in response to a question concerning the...

Praise God! @David in NJ, yes. How lovely! Thank you for blessing me. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @soul man I have only just seen this thread, and read your OP. Interesting, (Thank you) :) * My first thought goes to Luke 24:49 & Acts 1:4, which refer to the coming of the Holy Ghost as a promise previously made by God the Father. When I look for the origin of this promise in the OT...

------------- I am glad you think so, @David in NJ, Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @theefaith, It is the Bible which contains the doctrines taught by the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ: Called to that office by the will of God; Whose words are recorded in the Epistles for our learning. * To call the words, 'The Bible Alone,' a, 'doctrine,' is silly: for it is not a...

'Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.' (2 Corinthians 5:16) @Robert Gwin, @MatthewG, @Ronald David Bruno, @Taken, Hello there, Thank you for all your input. * I have a sister (in the...

'And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.' (Mat 24:14) Hello @Robert Gwin, Thank you for responding. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @MatthewG, Thank you for including the link. I have listened to it, and am in agreement with what the speaker says concerning the verses in 2 Corinthians 5 (quoted in the OP), but don't feel able to click the 'like' button because I am not entirely happy with his final words, which I...
