Many Bible scholars today are deceived in using the Minority Text for their New Testament, as there are thousand of difference in those older manuscripts from the Traditional Text, which uses most of the extant manuscripts. The modern translations use a far more inferior source (oldest...

Which translation of the Bible do you use? Many are unaware that the manuscripts used for the modern translations are highly spurious, because of the numerous differences between them and the Traditional Text (TT). The manuscripts used for the TT (Majority Text, or Textus Receptus, or Received...

“And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness . . . Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong” (2Co 12:10). The thorn in the...

Though the old man’s ways beset, yet only for a time Till the saint sees troubles clear, to lay them all behind The skies now cloud-cleared, and as oft as thou would No troubles or disappointments, but walking as thou should Now standing through assails, encouraged with all might Ever seeing...

The Church and Body of Christ is the most important entity to God, for it is the reason for Him creating all things (even angels - Heb 1:14; 1Pe 1:12), and is the sole being created after Himself! NC The Gospel & the Church I think it is of greatest importance to hold to the truth...

This is a post from before that I’m reposting for the sake of others who did not get it. NC From Common to Uncommon When the light first breaks in on the soul, it is sweet to it, to the new life nature. It is the work of the Spirit (Jhn 3:5, 6, 8); but in order to promote it, and to enjoy...

Hi, and yes, Romans 8:28 is the primary growth-truth and serves as the basis for all the Pauline Epistles! Most of the growth-truths are in Paul's Epistles from Romans to Philemon. God bless!!

Nothing is more valuable to God than His children, which are in the same significance as Himself, giving us His Son as He did! There’s no doubt that they mean more to Him than the angels, for it was for those in Christ that He made them “ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who...

How often have you needed the encouragement that comes from the Word of God? Of course there’s nowhere to go to get the type of encouragement it gives! It may not be immediate (but sometimes could be) but it eventually gives direction and purpose to the believer who continues to think on the...

Amen, and have I have always appreciated your replies and comments. God bless!

Hi, and thanks for the reply and sincere comments! When I first started learning these spiritual truths they seemed false because I was not familiar with them. But now that I've been studying them for about 25 years I've been seeing how much they parallel the truths of the Word. It's no doubt...

The phrase “Kingdom of Heaven” occurs only in the Gospel of Matthew, where it is found thirty-one times. What does it mean? Here is a failure of the interpretation of the Word of God; most of the error and confusion around us springs from the false conception of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is...

This passage refers to the coming Gospel by which people become Christians. But most of God's people among Israel will not be in this category, being unbelievers in Christ. It's my understanding that God will not let the majority of Israel, His "people," perish. That would be a wasted 2500 years...

The Lord Jesus revealed two distinct lines of truth. In the first, He presented Himself as Israel’s Messiah and called upon that nation for their long-predicted national repentance, in which He also declared the character of His earthy kingdom rule (Millennium—NC), and Himself as the Fulfiller...

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be...

Hi, and Amen! We don't need our own righteousness when we have the Lord Jesus' righteousness (1Co 1:30). God wants us to be imputed with His righteousness because ours is tainted with the sin nature--the old man.

It’s a very distracting thing, to walk without our own righteousness, but this tests our humility in the fact that we have “the old man,” and that we are willing to endure whatever it takes to be right with God, and have Him for our own. We know it is more than well worth of knowing sin and...

I wouldn't think they are true believers!

God chose to save mankind with salvation, which nobody else could do. He just knows it's going to be a "few" (Mat 7:13, 14) in comparison to the lost.

God chose mankind to salvation (Tit 2:11), but most of mankind will not chose salvation. All have limited free will, but not completely. We are free to chose God or not!
