Hello @keithr, 'And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ... ... ... So God created man in His Own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.' (Gen 1:26a-27) Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou...

Hello @friend of, 'And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; ... ' (Deu 31:16) And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, ... ' (2Sa 7:12) ' ... for now shall I sleep in the dust; ... ' (Job 7:21) 'If a man die, shall he live...

Hello @Hidden In Him, Please read my response to Mungo. It is not the gospel of the Kingdom that saved you and me, @Hidden In Him: but the gospel of the grace of God. The gospel of the Kingdom of God will again be preached at the end of the age, when the door to that Kingdom will again be...

Hello @Enoch111, That is an accusation which is extremely serious. I think that you should be very careful to be sure of your ground before you make such an accusation. I know that what you say is untrue. I share their view in regard to the example you have given, so are you going to tar me...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, With respect, I believe that the Holy Spirit does indeed bring us to repentance, it is His work and He will do it, but it is all part of the salvation process, and faith can enter before repentance comes as a work in the heart. The work in the heart secures the believer...

Hello @Mungo, The Kingdom is in abeyance now, with the departure of Israel into the darkness of unbelief at Acts 28:25-28, and salvation has been sent to the Gentiles (v.28). The covenant with it's blessings all await a future day, the day when Israel come to repentance, and take up their role...

Hello @Hidden In Him, It is 4:15am and I have been lying in bed with your words in my head, 'Not sure where that leaves us': and the glorious thought came with it: it leaves us with God in Christ. For the mystery of Israel's blindness was no mystery to God, He knew beforehand that Israel...

Hello there, The Sermon on the Mount covers chapters Matthew 5-7: and a reading of it portrays an atmosphere which does not reflect that of The Kingdom of Heaven portrayed by the Old Testament prophets: for when that finds it's fulfilment, and Christ reigns in righteousness as The Son of David...

Hello there, Looking through, www.believer.com, a site that I particularly like, I came upon a section on commonly held traditions, in which it discussed, among other traditions, the belief that repentance is a requirement for obtaining eternal life, to which it gave the following response...

@Ruminator, @Wynona, @marks, @Lambano, @Enoch111, @Desire Of All Nations, @Robert Gwin Hello there, Thank you all for your input. I have not introduced this subject in order to judge the responses given, but to leave them out there for the Word of God to throw light on. I am still in the...

Hello @Ruminator, Thank you for coming back and giving Scriptures in response to my request. :) I can't respond to either at the moment, but will come back (God willing) In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Wynona, Thank you for your input. :) * It is strange that it is only recorded in the gospel of Matthew, isn't it? and not referred to in the epistles: if it were meant for the Church? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Ruminator Thank you for responding. :) Would you please give references that we may find where we are told these things in Scripture? * Is this one of them?:- 'Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the...

'For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.' (Rom 11:16) Hello @VictoryinJesus, Firstfruit:- * In regard to resurrection the Lord Jesus Christ is spoken of as, 'the firstfruits of them that slept' (1 Corinthians 15:20-23), * The...

Hello @APAK, The words I used in the post you are responding to, namely:- 'Gentile nations are not in view in Romans 11, for such cannot be addressed as 'brethren', neither do they stand by faith' - were said in relation to the Abrahamic covenant regarding the nations. For in Romans 11, it is...

Hello @marks, I have been thinking about the responses you have received concerning the words, Redeemer & Deliverer: and now wonder if I have selected the right post of yours to respond to; :) but in regard to the use of the word 'Redeemer' in regard to the Lord's second coming; though Christ...

Hi there, @VictoryinJesus, You seem to have thought about this a lot, for you have referred to quite a few texts in relation to it. :) I believe that God's jealousy manifests itself in regard to idolatry, and the worship of idols, robbing Him of the worship which He alone should receive: which...

Q) Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into? Hello @Hidden In Him In Romans 11 believing gentiles, during the Acts period, are said to be grafted into the olive tree of Israel, and are said to 'partake of' the root and fatness of the olive tree: that being 'the blessings of Abraham' in the form of...

Judges 9:1-15 (the following is Figurative:- not a simile but a comparison by implication):- 'The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they...
