Hello @Ziggy, Thank you for bringing in the Sadducees, for the word 'Beware' covered their doctrine too, didn't it? It was to them that the Lord said the words, 'Ye do err not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God' (Matthew 22:29). I have to go now, for I have someone calling me to...

Hi @Ziggy, Yes, context is so important, I agree. Almost every misunderstanding can be rectified by observing the context of a passage, whether it be the immediate context of the surrounding verses of the chapter, or beyond that to the context of the book itself, or the rest of the Scriptures...

'And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in...

* The Testimony of Scripture concerning the state of the dead:- 'Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.' (Job...

Hello again, Job described the state of the dead as 'the land of darkness and the shadow of death; a land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.' (Job10:21-22) For said he, 'I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and...

@BarnyFife @VictoryinJesus Hello there What is coming through to me in your latest responses (replies #236 & #237) is the fact that you are 'Beloved of the Lord and Precious'. I am seeing you behind the words, and loving you in the Lord, which is a joy. The risen Christ is the tie that binds...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, @farouk is right in his reply#210, regarding the definitions God has given to us in His word. My love to you, ViJ. Forgive me, but I can't respond to your entry at the moment. May you be still before your Maker, and rest in Him, knowing that He alone is faithful and...

Hello @BarnyFife, i am a dispensationalist, Barney, but that has nothing to do with the truth of the statement I made that you require proof of. Proof comes by looking at the usage of each figure. In this case, 'The Bride' and 'The Body', and all that relates to either within the context in...

Hi @VictoryinJesus I can relate to the disconnect. We are all so different aren't we? Our backgrounds and influences play their part in that perhaps. I am used to the works of the man who wrote the booklet in the link, but you are not. It was written many years ago now, and so the style and...

'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...

Hi @Ziggy, Thank you for responding. No problem. You have the right to disagree. No offence caused. With love in Christ Jesus May His Name be glorified both in and through us. Chris

Well @Ziggy, You have certainly taught me a lesson. This is the last time I ever place on the forum a link to anything that I personally found helpful. Perhaps you can tell me what any of this wordage has to do with the subject of the thread? How does this help anyone? Chris

Hello @JohnDB, Time will tell. Chris

Hello @Hidden In Him, Though an onlooker only, I have watched the news reports from America delivered independently by the BBC with dismay, and believe that the sooner Donald Trump is given his marching orders the better. There has been no fraud! Do you not have any faith in the democratic...

Hello @Ziggy, Unfortunately, because it is taken out of context, we cannot know what lead to this statement or what followed it, so how can a judgement be made concerning it? I certainly cannot make sense of it when taken in isolation like this. Why don't you wait until you have finished...

Hello there, All this talk of FRAUD in relation to covid19 or the election in the USA is seriously undermining trust among the citizens of that country. Watching and listening to the BBC news broadcasts from the USA, I feel sorry for those who are caught up in this process. It is creating...

Thank you, Ziggy, for taking the time to look at the link and read it as you have. It has obviously promoted a lot of questions in your mind. We can confirm the truth of what is written by reference to our own Bibles, can't we? and by doing so, know, that we are not being led astray. I look...

Hello @VictoryinJesus Thank you for searching out the links you have provided. I am familiar with the second of the links which takes you to the 'Heaven Dwellers' website, the first I have not seen before, so cannot vouch for their interpretation. Yet no matter what link we access we have to...

Hello @Waiting on him, The epistles written following the divine revelation given to Paul concerning the mystery which had been hid in God from the beginning of the world (Ephesians 3:9) which I listed*, contain the knowledge concerning the Administration of the Church which is the Body of...

Hello @BarneyFife, With the greatest respect to you, Barney, you must make your own search, not expect me to provide the references for you. The figures of, 'The Wife', 'The Bride' and 'The Body of Christ' (which are the figures in question + one) are upon the pages of Scripture. They are...
