'For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached (heralded) unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the...

'For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end...

Hello @Doug, There is an occasion when enduring to the end is necessary, and that is in relation to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. This is what Paul strove for, 'Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may...

'But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.' (Mat 24:13-14) Hello @Doug, This was spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ in response to questions...

Hello again, @Debp, Looking up the word, 'mercy', in the concordance, the first reference is found in the words of Lot, immediately prior to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19:19). The second is found in the words of Abraham's servant who had been sent to find a wife for Isaac from...

There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in His justice, which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good; there is mercy with the Saviour; there is healing in His blood. There is no place where earth's sorrows...

Hello @Debp, I see. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @quietthinker, Perhaps so. What do you believe should be done to relieve the suffering taking place on both sides? Will stopping the fighting bring the hostages home? Will it bring peace to the region? Within the love of Christ our Saviour, our Lord and Head. Chris

Hello @quietthinker, Why are you throwing out these meaningless statements, without engaging with your responses. For it serves no purpose. In Christ Jesus Chris

'And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job hath."' (Job 42:7) Hello @brightfame52, No...

'Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern...

'... ... ...ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than...

Hello @St.SteVens, God has provisioned for that, as we see in Romans 2: 'Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the...

Subject Heading:- What Makes a Doctrine False? Hello @St.SteVen, ' I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or...

Hello, @Behold, Thank you for for responding. - You refer to Mat 25:41, 'Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:' (see also Mat, 25:41) This is referring to the lake of fire, for it alone is...

Hi @Behold, I would prefer not to be in opposition to you, but on this subject I am unfortunately. If you believe I am wrong then do please show me the verses to look at, which speak of torment and I will consider them. If you have Luke 16:19-31 in mind, and the story of the rich man and...

Hello @Behold, I know that you believe in the traditional view of hell as a place of eternal conscious punishment: Yet contrary to what you believe it is not the testimony of Scripture. Hell itself is not eternal, for it is cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14). Hell being the place of the...

'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' (Rom 6:23) Hello @St.SteVen, Eternal life is a gift of God, received through faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice of Christ. Not all receive it, for they do not all have faith in God or in...

Hello @Behold, The doctrine that Paul preaches was given to him by the One Who met with Him on the Road to Damascus, and turned his world upside down in a moment. He it is Who is the subject of Paul's gospel. As the Apostle of Christ, chosen by God the Father, to be the Apostle to the...

'And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.' (Rev 20:14-15) Hello :brightfame52, Hell is not eternal, for it is cast into the lake of fire in Rev.20:14. In Christ Jesus...
