Our Father does not want us to take an affliction lightly. “A reproof enters more into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool” (Prov 17:10). But the more you take it to heart the more you gain in holiness; that, so to speak, is the goal. The Father’s discipline is intended to effect the...

Hi and thanks for your reply! It's my belief that "Rebirth" is the beginning of the eternal journey in God (if you're a genuine believer). To think God doesn't foreknow who all will choose Him is a mistake (not accusing anyone). It's not like He would have to take eternal life back (which makes...

Hi B, and thanks for the reply! It's my understanding the this manifests one who is not reborn, for all who are saved do always forgive (Col 3:13; Eph 4:32). Being unforgiving has to do with the Law (Mat 6:12, 14). God bless Friend!

God placed the “Tree of knowledge of good and evil” in the “middle of the garden” along with the “Tree of Life” (Gen 2:9). At that time, Adam and Eve only knew right and wrong by way of “commandment“ (2:16), but did not yet learn what “good and evil” was, which was evidenced by “they were both...

Hi LF! You are sounding pretty strong in the faith concerning what any believer should do about their Family. Once we establish that God is first in everything we can proceed onward in Him guiding and enabling us to be the Christian He wants us to be through "pleasing" Him," which is what He is...

“Walking in the Spirit” is something that is considered by God a permanent situation for those who are His. Even though believers still sin, they are termed walking in the Spirit because it’s what they always desire. Like Apostle Paul we never desire to sin, but we realize this is not possible...

It is evident from Scripture that there are two distinct companies, both saved by the Blood of Christ; one company on earth (Israel), and the other company within the veil in heaven (Church). Christ’s work for the earthly company is represented by the two goats, the blood of the one goat...

Thanks!

Thanks Brother, maybe catch you on another subject. God blessings to you and your Family, and God be blessed!

The articles are from an author named Miles J Stanford, "Position Papers" 1, 2 and 3 which were out of print from the Plymouth Brethren circa 1700-1900's. The martials are of-course out of print now for centuries.

It appears our understanding of Scripture varies too much from one another for debating this issue.

I will need some Scripture to determine what you are trying to say. I know what you mean but there's nothing refuting my theory about God finally renewing Israel and Judah back to Himself (Jer 31:31). Thanks.

Scripture is not as clear as many other passages are, but there is enough inference to therorize because of the the evidence of the Jerimiah and Ezekiel prophecies, and other passages.

It is presently my strong suspicion that God’s people, Israel (those who love God but reject His Son the Lord Jesus) will inherit the New Earth—their final “Canaan.” John wrote, “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father,” hence they will not be able to call God their Father but...

Hi DP, and appreciate the encouraging compliment! God bless!! Hi and thanks for sharing that! God bless!!

Hi 1CL, and appreciate the encouraging comment. God uses the trials the most, to teach us to grow in our faith and conform to Christ's image.

The Christians “condition” is how they are doing? Are they maintaining and enduring trials or complaining about them? It’s ok to wonder and maybe complain, but the less we allow a trial to move us, the more we mature in “the image of Christ” (Rom 8:29; 2Co 3:18). We are not to forget our unmoved...

Of the three divisions of humanity which are given by the Apostle Paul, namely, the Jews, the Gentles and the Church of God (1Co 10:32), the first and third represent the two major purposes of God—the earthly purpose centered in the Jews (Jews who believe in God but not the Lord Jesus - Jn...
