Even today a clear understanding of the Body of Christ is not fully comprehended among many, as seen in an insufficiency to differentiate it from all other systems, which even those attempting admixture of it with other systems, i.e. Judaism, Romanism and other religions. It is faith in the Lord...

Both as free, and in bonds, Paul insisted upon seeking out “the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” persistently offering them, in the first place (Rom 1:16), “the salvation of God,” But, consistently, “they agreed not among themselves,” and at last Paul was constrained to say, “Hearing ye shall...

Hi and appreciate your reply! True, forgiveness is difficult, probably because it's the most difficult, it being the most significant; and if we continue enduring and seeking God's will, we will be able to access more of all that "pertains to life and godliness" (2Pe 1:3); and we've been...

Some receive the knowledge of forgiveness without much conviction of sin, and usually their appreciation of Christ as Savior is proportionately feeble. He that is forgiven much, the same loveth much (Luk 7:47). There may be the sense of forgiveness, with little realization of needing it. The...

I think I know what he means now, thanks R!

This doesn't make enough sense for me.

I'm still researching these verses (for a long time) for the best understanding.

I'm going to stick to what I have shared. Thanks for the replies!

Hi J, and always appreciate your replies and comments! Jhn 18:9 "“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.” I's been wisely said, "all that should be saved will be saved." "lost none" of whom God gave the Lord Jesus. If you weren't given, you weren't saved, because only those who were given...

Hi R, and thanks for the reply! Yes, if one thinks a believer would want to live in sin; but God keeps all believers from evil (2Th 3:3), i.e. all they will ever want from now on is to "please" Him (Phl 2:13). It's comforting to know that Christ's Blood removes "unwilful sins" (Heb 10:26).

True and Amen PC! If one is a genuine Christian it will eventually manifest itself (Mat 12:33). It's been wisely said that, "everyone that should be saved will be saved", according to God's omniscient foreknowledge! This answers to the wonder that God doesn't give eternal life to those He knows...

I wonder if there are many believers who do not know the guiltlessness of their status in the Lord Jesus. If there is not the knowledge that Christians are never judged, and are completely absent of guilt, there cannot be much spiritual growth in the faith! There will be “chastisement” when...

That's good to hear, keep it up, and God bless my Brother!

It's ok if we differ concerning this issue, and thanks for replying, God bless!

Hi Davy, trusting all is well! If we think about, the physical body is often used for sinning but is not responsible, because it's the soul in one's spirit that makes the decisions. The body is just and object, and can be misused! The carnal mind is the "flesh" or "old man, i.e. sin nature...

Could be, thanks.

Not sure why you're so concerned with my situation, but my diploma is from NACM (National Association of Christian Ministers 20 years ago). To avoid any potential problems concerning my situation I will not be answering any more about my Chaplaincy. I cannot understand your interest in it!

Hi, I like the way you are discussing the issues. 1Pet 3:21 "There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." The preceding verse 20 sets up the idea of...

I use my ordination to teach the New Testament spiritual growth doctrines.

Hi! My ordination from 20 years ago only covered Biblical studies. I only study and research Scripture.
