Hello @Jacob28, I presumed that on a Christian forum, I was talking to fellow believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, therefore my justification for using the word, 'We', was on that basis. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Hidden In Him, Thank you for responding with your thoughts regarding 1 Corinthians 1:21-22, I agree that the signs looked for were those of Joel, and Peter in Acts 2:16 confirms that this is so. The 'signs following' of Mark 16:20 come into the same category as 'signs from heaven', for...

Hi there,@Don Mills, A Welsh 'Cwtch' is a big hug, and is amazingly therapeutic. I have missed being able to hug family members, and yesterday I broke the rules and cwtched my grandson as hard as could be, he is twelve years old and can beat me at arm wrestling, so he could handle it. Corona...

'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' (Romans 5:8) Hello Jacob28, God loves not in word only but in deed and in truth. We know that He loves all men individually for although He sent His Son to die for the sins of the whole world...

'For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.' (Rom 1:16) Hello @Hidden In Him, ( Re. Reply #27 ) I believe that the confirmatory signs, which were Divinely worked, accompanied...

Hello @Hidden In Him, We can only know with certainty what is actually recorded concerning the power manifested. One thing that we do know, because it is a matter of record, is that during the Acts period, following the Lord's ascension, the disciples ' ... ... went forth, and preached every...

'That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,' (Ephesians 5:26) Hello @Hidden-in-Him, I want to thank you for this new thread. For coming to it this morning and reading the relevant Scriptures has acted on my mind as a washing: as in Ephesians 5:26, in the...

'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, with joy of the Holy...

Hello @marks This brings the prayer of Paul in Ephesians chapter three to mind:- (14) For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (15) Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (16) That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be...

Hello again, @marks, No, it is not the Gospel of salvation, though it is very 'good news'. It was a word for believers. It is the deposit of truth committed by God to Paul by revelation, and which he was instructed and empowered to impart to the believers in His care. It is the truth that we...

Hello @Ronald Nolette, Perhaps you can supply Scripture for those beliefs, yes? Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? (1 Corinthians 15:35) Hi @marks, We do not have a celestial body at the moment, do we? 'There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of...

'For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be...

Hi @marks I believe it to be the deposit of truth, which was revealed to Paul by God, which He is committing to God to guard, for it is being turned away from as he is. He has committed it also to Timothy to make known 'to faithful men', and Timothy is also urged to 'keep' it. For Paul as...

'For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be...

'If ye then be risen with Christ, (by God's reckoning) seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, Who is our life, shall...

'Jesus saith unto her, "Thy brother shall rise again." Martha saith unto Him, "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said unto her," I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth...

(1) For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2) For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: (3) If so be that being clothed...

Hello @Available Light, That is what I am assured is it's meaning in the marginal notes in my Bible. It by no means nullifies the Word of God, nor does injustice to the testimony of Scripture as a whole. For the testimony of Scripture shows that those who do indeed have the Word of God...

Hello @Available Light, Thank you for responding. You refer to John 8:51:- 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.' This is referring to eternal death, because he who has the Word of God abiding in Him, will have part in the 'resurrection unto life'...
