Simeon gave an accurate account of what we know has been absolutely fulfilled. Those who reject Christ do fall and are ruined. Those who accept Him are raised and are saved from ruin. I really do like the description of Christ as a sign . . . a lot is to be said about this.

I have yet to meet anyone apart from Christ who is a perfect person. There is a school of thought among Christians that because Christ has forgiven all our sins therefore we are perfect, but this equates forgiveness of sins to sinless perfection, which is a fallacious conclusion that defies...

It excludes any extra contribution of works. Joh 17:1-4 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, (2) as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as...

Sure.

Hi devin. A lady with a very young daughter started attending a fellowship I was attached to, and I noticed she looked washed out and nervous so I befriended her and she said she was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and on high doses of antipsychotic medication. Within minutes of...

Then there are those deluded cults that believe only those who observe Saturday as "the Sabbath" are saved, as if mere observance of a special day trumps faith in the finished work of Christ on the Cross.

Act 16:3 Paul wanted to have him [Timothy] go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.

Paul wasn't too keen on circumcision either. Gal 6:14-15 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (15) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new...

The record speaks for itself, so any argument is redundant. 28 Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Yes, especially the "through faith" part.

Gal 5:18 But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law. It couldn't be plainer, and yet many stumble.

Hi Marc, As you may know, the OT religious practises serve as signposts to the NT lifestyle. Eph 5:6-11 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. (7) Be not you therefore partakers with them. (8) For you...

Carolus Linnaeus, also known as Carl von Linne or Carl Linnaeus, was born on May 23, 1707 in the southern Swedish province of Smaland. His father, Nils Linnaeus, was a Lutheran pastor with an interest in gardening. It was probably in his father's garden that Carolus' love and enthusiasm for...

Yeah, one day they will be.

One big happy family Eph 2:13-17 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (14) For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, (15) having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that...

Very good point. So resistance is NOT futile when God makes escape from Satanic activity possible. 1Co 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also...

An Offering From My Notes: Satan is active on this planet. His work in its inhabitants is woven into history, en masse and in each individual. Sin is still the way of the world. Satan is still the prince of the power of the air. Satan is still at work in the children of disobedience. Eph...

Hi Marc, Interesting verses and opening comment. From another point of view, the Will and Work of God are made known in the Word of God. I think it is worth noting Peter's denial was temporary, repented of and retracted prior to the formation of New Testament Scripture, which actually...

Mat 24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall...
