Hello @theefaith Your replies make it obvious that you do not read the responses you receive, so further correspondence is futile. I can only pray that God will lift the veil from your eyes so that you will be enabled to see the truth concerning these things. Thank you and goodbye for now. In...

'And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.' (Luke 1:38) Hello @theefaith, Mary believed God, and humbly bowed to His will. She was the Mother of God's only Begotten Son: but apart from giving birth to the Saviour...

Hello @theefaith, Mary was indeed 'Highly Favoured' by God, in giving birth to His only Begotten Son: and all generations since have acknowledged this wondrous fact. However our desire should be to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Christ Jesus His Son: and not to elevate...

'Be it known unto you all, .. and to all the people of Israel, .... that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, ...... whom ye crucified, ........ whom God raised from the dead, .......... even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of...

'For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.' (Gal 5:13 ) Hello @Phoneman777, The words you used are not that of Paul, he would not have spoken in such a fashion. He would have confirmed that they were not...

Hello @Ronald Nolette, Though I understand your use of the figure of a physician: Paul himself was no physician, either physical or spiritual, but He was the Apostle of the risen Christ, and as such spoke with the Authority of God the Father and of Christ, by Whom He was chosen and equipped for...

Hello @Marc RL Ministry, It was interesting reading the link you provided. I live in the UK and was not aware that the Roman Catholic Church has tax exemption in the USA, or that it was considering preventing it's parliamentary membership from receiving the eucharist if they support abortion...

Thank you @Venksta for responding. I am so glad that you liked this study by Stuart Allen. I believe it to be an honouring and true account which gives glory to God. Within the love of Christ our Saviour, Our Lord and Head. Chris

'But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.' (Dan 10:13) 'But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that...

Daniel 10:13, 21; Daniel 12:1; Jude 1:9; Revelation 12:7, Hello @Phoneman777, Making this claim that the Lord Jesus Christ is also the Archangel Michael is a presumption, and not Truth. In Christ Jesus our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE (Ref: Matthew 26.36+; Mark 14. 32+; Luke 22.39+ ) “...They now reach Gethsemane at the foot of the Mount of Olives.” The word means ‘Oil-press’. * This was an enclosed piece of ground, which was apparently an olive orchard. The Lord takes with him the inner...

Hi there, The next verse which contains the word, 'mind' (nous) is, Romans 11:34 "For who hath known the mind (council or purpose) of the Lord? or Who hath been His councillor?" (Romans 11:34) The word 'mind' here has the meaning of 'council or purpose'. Looking at the context in which...

Hello @Phoneman777, There is no problem. :) Daniel 10:13, 21; Daniel 12:1; Jude 1:9; Revelation 12:7, are the only references, within their context, which mention Michael: and only within their framework do we find any information concerning him directly. There may be indirect references to...

Hi there, The next verse in the concordance which includes the word mind (nous) is Romans 7:23, 'But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.' (Romans 7:23) This links up with what was...

(Re: Reply#56 - Page 3) 'And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His...

Hello again, The second reference to the word 'mind' (nous) is Romans 1:28 - this is a contrast to the previous one, yet also a good verse with which to begin this study, because it causes us to consider 'the rock from whence we were hewn'(Isaiah. 51:1)., and acknowledge just what we have been...

Hi @Waiting on him, You ask, what world, in my 'mind', is being referred to in Revelation 13:8? It has to be the present world, doesn't it? :) 'And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive...
