Hi @CharismaticLady I have had my coffee, so I am ready to go. What I did say was that Romans 7 was illustrative of the conflict between the two natures within the Child of God. Flesh in conflict with spirit. Romans 8:2, refers to the law of the spirit of life and the law of sin and death...

Hello @Ferris Bueller, Thank you for responding. I believe that the obedience of faith is believing what God has said concerning His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, not only in regard to salvation ie., forgiveness of sins, justification, sanctification and redemption, but also about our...

'Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.' (John 6:28) 'And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked...

Hello again, @CharismaticLady, It is on the basis of the imputation of righteousness that it can be said of the believer in Ephesians chapter one:- 'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According...

(James 2:19-26) (Romans 4:6-12) (Romans 4:13-25) Hello @CharismaticLady, Your response appears to indicate that your understanding of the word, 'imputed', differs from my own. I believe that the word, 'imputed', means to reckon, or attribute to. God imputed, or reckoned Abraham to be...

Hello @CharismaticLady, The nature we were born with is referred to by different names in Scripture, as you will know. a) The Flesh - (John 3:6, Romans 8:8) b) The Natural Man - (1 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 2:10) c) The Old Man - (Ephesians 4:22) d) The Outward Man - (2 Corinthians 4:16)...

Hello @CharismaticLady, You have taken issue with the word, 'imputed', yet it is a word used in Scripture isn't it? So, it is the manner in which it is used by others which you take issue with isn't it? You feel that it is abused maybe, yes? So how is it used in Scripture? (James 2:19-26)...

Hello again, @CharismaticLady, The pitch on the inside and outside of the ark, protected those within the ark from the waters of judgement surrounding them. The work of the atonement, does the same. The blood shed by the Lord Jesus Christ on our behalf enables God to forgive us our sins and...

'Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.' (Gen 6:14) Hello CharismaticLady, I came here out of curiosity to know what you had written in this thread today, as indicated on the home page. However, when here, my...

'I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,' (Ephesians 4:1) Hello again, The calling of Ephesians 4:1 denotes a VOCATION: and is something that those so called are beseeched by Paul to walk worthy of. In other words what...

Hello @Base12, This is all foreign to me, having not come in contact with such thoughts before, so I cannot even begin to counter it. However I do know that it does not represent what is written in Scripture. So, as the word of God must be the arbiter in all such matters, I must reject what...

Hi @Hidden In Him, I am sorry not to have answered straight away. I got thrown by the question you asked of me at the end concerning what I had added to my faith, for I don't tend to enter into self-examination, and did not know how to respond. o_O I believe you are right that in 2 Peter...

'For many are called, but few are chosen.' (Mat 22:14) Thank you for responding @Devin Wintch, and for your Scriptural reference. It took my mind to another:- 'These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that...

Hello @Webers_Home, I understand your aversion to these things. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Keep smiling! :) * I guess we should be grateful that we have people with the expertise to apply themselves to find a cure. That we have hospitals, nurses and doctors who can take care of us if we should contract this virus. * At least we know that there is medication and equipment suitable...

Hi @Waiting on him, I know that many of the Psalms are Messianic, yes, but not all. Is there a reason why you ask me this in relation to the subject matter of this thread? :)

'And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, .. yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, .... to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, .. and be not moved...

@Ferris Bueller, @Hidden In Him, @Webers_Home @Waiting on him 'Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: ... ' (2 Peter 1:10) Hello there, Thank you for your input. Looking at what preceded this...

'My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.' (Psalm 139:15) 'And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and Thou heardest my voice.' (Jonah...

@Ferris Bueller, @Hidden In Him, @Webers_Home Hello Both, Thank you for your input. I can't respond right now, but I hope to come back to this. Within the love of Christ our Saviour Chris
