Hello @marks, I would also, like @Hidden In Him, be interested in hearing your findings. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi there 'Hidden In Him, We do not have any common ground upon which to begin discussing this together, so I will have to bow out. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be...

Hi April_Rose, Marriage is a commitment, made under law, between two people to love and respect one another. To watch each other's back, and be there for each other during the bad times as well as the good. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Mayflower, I know just what you mean, for it has the same effect on me. The verses that come to my mind at the moment in regard to this are written by Paul to Timothy, and to the Ephesians:- 'Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth...

Beauty (Heb.= tiph'ârâh tiph'ereth) Strongs Concordance ref. No.H8597 Definition: - From H6286; 'ornament' (abstractly or concretely, literally or figuratively) Translated: - 'beauty' (-iful),' bravery', 'comely', 'fair', 'glory' (-ious), 'honour', 'majesty' "Good Morning" @April_Rose *...

Hi there. @April_Rose So many of the faces that we see on the screen or in magazines have very little truth to them, for most of the faces have been heavily made up and air-blown (whatever that may mean). The old saying is that 'beauty is in the eye of the Beholder'. Though there are some...

Hello @Wrangler, I do not acknowledge any category invented by man to pigeon-hole believers into one school of thought or another. Though I do categorically believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is both 'Son of God' and 'Son of Man'. I also believe that as 'Son of God' He is Deity. He is God...

Hello @Wrangler You are right of course, we are going around in circles but some times we have to, in order to get a point across. The Lord Jesus Christ was called the firstborn in relation to specific things, yes: but in regard to His position as the Son of God, the only Begotten Son of God...

Hello @Behold, Thank you: re. reply#120. I have had to unlearn as much as I have learned, for which I praise God. I shall probably find that I have yet more to unlearn, and have asked God to show me if there is a 'plank' in my eye in relation to any aspect of His truth, that I may see it, and...

Hello @justbyfaith, Such terms as 'hypostatic union' leave me cold I'm afraid. I prefer the simple Bible text. I am happy if you are acknowledging that the term 'God's only begotten Son' to be unique to the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @justbyfaith, Yes, the Lord Jesus was God's only Begotten Son. 'The only begotten of the Father' (John 1:14; John 1:18; John 3:16-18; Hebrews 1:5; Acts 13:33; Hebrews 1:5; Hebrews 5:5; 1 John 4:9) The word, 'begotten' is also used in relation to believers in 1 Corinthians 4:15. 'For...

Hello again, @Magdalene, I met someone recently on another forum, user name 'Amethyst',who spoke similarly, and with the same attitude towards those who participated in her threads, and she was banned, after initiating only two threads. I hope you are not the same person under another name...

Hello @Magdalene, That is a good analogy that you have made, I would not have thought of that. Though the words of 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 refers to the temple of God in Jerusalem at the end of the age, and of the 'son of perdition' who will exalt himself in that day. Yet the enemy of our souls...

Hello @April_Rose, I agree that we are saved by God's grace, and not by works that we have done. However you will agree I'm sure. that though we died with Christ, and were quickened into life with Him, we were also raised up to walk with Him before the Father in newness of life. Our lives...

Hello @April_Rose, No, I didn't say that you had. I was merely sharing with you my further thoughts on the subject. With love in Christ Jesus :) Chris

Hello @April_Rose, While responding to another thread I had occasion to refer to Leviticus 18, which considers the law regarding unlawful sexual relations, where the relation of man with man and woman with woman sexually is called an abomination. In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Paul having listed this...

'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,' (1 Peter 1:3) Hello @justbyfaith The words here in 1 Peter 1:3, are 'begotten us again'. Yes, Peter's...

'For our gospel came not unto you in word only, .. but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; .... as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. ...... And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, ........ having received the word in much affliction...

Hello there @justbyfaith, Please receive this with the love that accompanies it. I believe God chooses His words with care, and if He says that the Lord Jesus Christ is His only 'Begotten' Son, then that is exactly what He means. There is no other 'Begotten' Son, so this cannot be said of any...
