Hello again, @VictoryinJesus, Yes it does connect with what you were saying concerning Mark 3:31-34 in @reply153, and my response in repy#156. The Lord's Mother, and Joseph (his Father under law) both did not understand what the young Jesus meant by the words of Luke 2:49, 'How is it that ye...

Re. replies #153 and #156 Hello again, @VictoryinJesus, I am by nature one who likes to please, and like an old song of my past from the musical 'Oklahoma', ' ... just a girl who can't say 'No''. So, I find this word concerning Mark 3:31-35, such a quickening and chastening word today, for...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Thank you for this. It is interesting that you should connect Hebrews 13:12 with the words of the Lord in Mark 3:31-35. You have done so by linking the words 'without' in both I believe. His Mother and brethren, were seeking to 'lay hold on Him', as we are told in Mark...

I don't accept your reasoning, @Wrangler

Hello @Wrangler, Just because a person is male, does not mean he cannot also be kind and loving: and meekness is no indication of weakness, on the contrary it shows self control. The Lord was a man, a wonderful man, a strong man, who did not shout aloud in the streets, break a bruised reed or...

Hello @VictoryinJesus You must forgive me if I say that I don't understand you. For, I truly have a problem following your line of reasoning, I always have. I can't explain it, and it is certainly no reflection on you. I simply am unable to comprehend. I wish I could. Isn't it strange...

'And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel.' (Gen 3:15) Hello @Amazed@grace. The enmity isn't between Eve and the serpents seed, but between Satan's seed and and her seed. The seed of the...

Hi @Amazed@grace, Just seen your post. Have to go to get a meal ready at the moment. Will come back and respond to this a.s.a.p. :) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @VictoryinJesus, I just love the fact that Mary was called 'highly favoured' (or much graced) because God had chosen her to bare His only begotten Son: and that the same word so translated in regard to her, is used regarding the members of the Church which is Christ's Body, in the phrase...

Hello @Behold No, I have not heard of 'the cult of the virgin'. I find images like this hard to even look at: but is it because Mary is crowned and appears to be enthroned? Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Behold, In your zeal I believe you are inadvertently overlooking who Mary was, and the line of descent that made her the necessary Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through her, and through Joseph (by law), the Lord Jesus Christ became both heir to the land, as Son of Abraham, and heir...

Hello @Amazing@grace, Good question, but it needs a thread of it's own I think, to do justice to it would perhaps derail this one. With love In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Triumph1300, Forgive me, but I do not understand what you are trying to convey by this. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Wrangler Perhaps you should show a little respect to me too, though a woman. I do not understand your objection to my use of the word, 'however': but it would have been kinder if you could have accepted my comment, without the bold lettered rebuke. Within the love of Christ our...

Hello @Triumph1300, I read a verse earlier which I found interesting in relation to the judgments we make, and how it contrasts with that of our Lord Himself. For He says in John 8:15-16, 'Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not...

Hello @Wrangler, I understand why you have introduced this subject, in the light of how males and females are perceived today. God's order is being overturned, and the roles of the male and female questioned and disparaged in many areas of life. However we are to respect one another whatever...

Hi @CoreIssue, The seed is in the Mother, and the Father fertilizes it. The Father also determines the sex of the child born. 'And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou...

Hello @Josho, I have been reading this morning of God's purpose in Israel, and the part that the 'furnace' and the 'flame' played during their history. The furnace and the flame that was part of the covenant making of God with Abram in Genesis 15:17, which Abram saw while sleep. These...

Hello @marks, I hope it isn't happening here, but who am I to say it is not. Forgive me for having so much to say lately, I do seem to be standing-on-my-soap-box a little too freely over the past few days. Maybe it is a consequence of a year of lockdown restrictions. o_O Thank you With love...

'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 God...
