Hello Doug, Thank you for correcting me. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Doug, Reading your OP again, I came to the words singled out and quoted above, and must question what you called the company being saved at Pentecost. You say that they were the Church which is the Body of Christ, but this is not so. For that church was not established as a newly...

Hello @Doug, There can be no doubt as to what message was preached in Acts 2, because it is recorded for us. It is a call to repentance for the nation of Israel. 'Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and...

'So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' (Rom 10:17) Have you ever watched a nature program which shows what happens when the rains come, in a country such as Africa, When what looks like a dry river bed suddenly teams with life when the rains fall and the dry river...

'But of Him are ye in ('en' - G1722) Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let Him glory in ('en' - G1722) the Lord.' (1Cor 1:30-31) Hello @Episkopos, I have watched the...

'Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all...

'And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.' (Gen. 2:7) 'And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.' (1Cor.15:45) 'Then shall the...

'O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!' @Stumpmaster @Taken The hope is for resurrection life, at that time of God's choosing, not life immediately after death as some...

Thank you for responding, @Keraz, When our Lord made Himself known to His disciples after His quickening and resurrection He was not spirit, but flesh and bones, but with the ability to disappear and appear at will: At one time He is recorded to have cooked a meal for the disciples (John...

Hello @Keraz, The words you use (quote), 'with a spiritual new heaven and earth.' makes the new earth sound ethereal and insubstantial, can you please explain what you mean by spiritual in this case. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Keraz, The 1,000 year reign is the reign of the Overcomers with Christ (Rev.20:6; 6:9, 12:11) as a reward for faithfulness: but His reign continues after that period ends surely. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall...

'For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 'Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a...

'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.' (Eph. 2:8-10) Hello @Ghada...
