'And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in...

'And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in...

Hello @Randy Kluth, Forgive me, but I feel the need to question your use of the words I have highlighted. For they imply conditions placed upon that wondrous gift. Righteousness is imputed (reckoned, counted or attributed) to those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour and...

Hi @Ziggy, Thank you for replying. I can understand your choice of these verses, but in actual fact the truth of the Church which is the Body of Christ, was not made known until after Paul wrote 1&2 Corinthians, 1&2 Thessalonians, Galatians, Romans and Hebrews. It was made known by revelation...

Hi @Ziggy, Thank you for responding my two posts. The Church which is His Body consists of individual believers, joined together in perfect unity in Christ Jesus their Head. They may never meet while in this life, perhaps, but God knows who they are. They are joined together in love...

Hello again, @Ziggy, Living in Wales, where sheep roam the hills, I am familiar with sheep. They have a place in my memories. Memories of sheep dancing on the metal roof of the outhouse in their attempt to negotiate a path off the mountain whose slopes our house was attached to. Of my Father...

Hello @Ziggy, Pearls are formed through suffering. 'And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, "Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." And he carried me away in the spirit to a great...

Hello @soul man, I have only now seen your OP! Praise God! For His wondrous grace. 'And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now...

Hello @Philip James, I think you know what I intended by those words. The love that God requires is that which is born of His Spirit, the fruit of His indwelling, a love that is manifested 'in deed and in truth'. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Backlit, I agree that being a good person has nothing to do with salvation. Thank you for this information. I have very little understanding of the Roman Catholic Church or it's teaching, or that of any other denomination for that matter. I am only interested in what the Bible has to...

'Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.' (Philippians 2:12-13) Hello @historyb, When...

Hello @theefaith, I do not believe that faith is a 'work'. For faith comes by 'hearing' and hearing by, 'the word of God' (Romans 10:17). It is the action upon the heart and mind by the word of God concerning God's Son the Lord Jesus Christ that produces faith. The seed of faith is implanted...

'I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth ) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth ) How that he...

Hello @Devin Wintch, I will not derail your thread by entering into a discussion on the second death or the lake of fire, but stand by my statement that it is not a matter of Heaven or Hell as a destination on the day of judgement, but of life or death, for that is what is at stake. Thank you...

'For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by...

'But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.' (Heb 11:6) Hello @Devin Wintch, I checked on-line, and it is pronounced to be a fiction. Stating (quote):- Pope Francis Says...

Hello @justbyfaith, I did not say that Galatians was written to the Jew, however there are things within it that are directed to the Jews in their assembly, specifically. The content of this post, as with the others you have addressed to me, must be brought to the word of God and judged...

'Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of...

Hello @Devin Wintch, With respect, the 'saints' are still awaiting resurrection, along with the rest of mankind. Angels are also a different created form than man. Mankind do not transform into angels. If you have been seeing what you believe to be dead saints in angel form then you are...

@HiddenInHim, Hi there, I have just noticed that this thread is not in the 'current affairs and political' section of the forum, but in that entitled, 'Eschatology and Prophecy'. Why did you choose to put this thread in this section, HiddenInHim? Do you believe that somehow Mr Trump has a...
