This is dreadful @Taken!! Why do you have to expose us to these details? Is this the right place for such allegations? This is a Christian forum. 'And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But...

Hello @Mayflower Why do you believe there is fraud taking place? What evidence is there to believe this to be true? Have those who claim this told you what evidence they have for making this assertion? Or is it an unsubstantiated allegation? Why should you, as an American, believe that your...

Hi @April_Rose No offence taken. I understand why you should say that: but I, like many who have watched the events taking place in your country, are saddened by the changes in attitudes taking place before our eyes. We get good independent, reliable coverage of the news on the BBC, which has...

Hello there, Slander is one of the characteristics of Satan, I do not think we should be found using such tactics as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The accusation of fraud is very serious indeed, especially made against someone who is likely to hold the office of President of the united...

Hi @Ziggy The closure of places of worship, and other places where people congregate is a means to an end, and not a permanent restriction. It is designed to protect the vulnerable from contamination from the corona virus. To rebel against this would be an act of potential violence against...

Hello there, This thread has had many responses which I have not read, but some I have. However, surely what matters is that the Church which is the Body of Christ, which has no building, but which is joined to Christ the Head, and is linked by joints and bands in the spirit, is not influenced...

Hello there, This is a Christian form, so why is there a place within it for political debate? Read Paul's advice to Timothy, and consider what our stance should be in regard to these political matters. 'Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things...

Hello 2T.G., 'Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me.' (John 5:39) 'And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that...

'For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and...

Hi @Grailhunter, I read this morning something which caught my eye concerning God's nature. It was that God is Christ-like, for Christ is God manifest in the flesh isn't He? Which reminds me of the conversation that our Lord had with Philip in John 14, for in verse 9 we read:- 'Jesus saith...

Thank you @Taken, I have altered my post in the light of what you have said. When I said, 'pure', I meant in relation to the fact of her virginity. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

@April_Rose, 'And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For He hath regarded the low estate of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is...

Hi @April_Rose, God knew Mary beforehand, as He knows you and me. He knew her heart and mind, and He would know that she was a virgin and therefore just right to conceive and bare His Son. He would know that she would know the honour that He was bestowing upon her too. He prepared Joseph to...

Hello @justbyfaith Thank you for your response, and for the many references for my consideration. Although it was not my intention to promote this as a subject when responding to @Christophany, I shall certainly look up your references, and consider this subject in the light of them. With...

Paradox:- a situation or statement that seems impossible, or is difficult to understand, because it contains two opposite facts or characteristics. Hello @BarnyFife, Thank you for causing me to consider the paradoxes found in Scripture, for I have not considered them before, and a reference...

'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.' (1 John...

Hello Christophany, 'Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.' (Luke 12:1b) 'The doctrine of the Pharisees', or' the leaven of the Pharisees' as it is translated elsewhere, was hypocrisy. Their doctrine was not called 'leaven' for nothing, for the action of leaven is to...

Thank you too, @Ziggy. Sorry your heart is heavy, unless of course the Lord has made it so for His purpose. May His will be done, for His Name and glory's sake. :)

Hi @Ziggy, In regard to reply#9, and the witch of Endor. If a verse or passage of Scripture appears to contradict the testimony of all Scripture, then it is that passage or verse that needs to be questioned, and not the testimony of the rest of Scripture itself. For Scripture is the yardstick...

@Ziggy, I have responded to your questions in reply#9. Have to close now. Chris
