'To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.' (2Cor. 5:19) Praise His Holy Name!

Hello @EloyCraft, 'For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.'...

'The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.' (Pro 20:27) 'And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.' (Rom 8:27)

Praise God! @GRACE ambassador, I second that. :) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Aunty Jane, Thank you for responding. I stand by what I said in responses #3 & 4#. Arguing about the Scriptures achieves nothing I believe. We can only state our case, and leave it to the Scriptures themselves to arbitrate. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.' (Pro 20:27) 'Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be...

Hello there, There are many enemies yet to be defeated before God can be 'all in all' (1 Corinthians 15:28) though aren't there? which is why Christ will reign until He has put all enemies under His feet, the last being death itself, yes? (1 Corinthians 15:26). Daniel 10:20-21 also give a...

Hello @Inexplicable, All becomes clear when we read Matthew 17:9:- 'And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.' This was a vision of the risen Lord coming again, in His glory, which the...

Hello @Cristo Rei, I agree with @Rita, in reply#2, each occasion in which lying is contemplated must be evaluated according to the circumstance. The same thing applies to the discussion concerning the 'lying spirits' who acted in accord with God's will in regard to Ahab, which @Lambano was...

'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that (the whole thing) 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)...

I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.' (Ecclesiastes 3:10) Hello...

Hello @marks and @Episkopos, The Holy Spirit can be grieved, and He intercedes for us with groans that cannot be uttered. That is very much the wording to which the word 'He' is applicable, don't you think? He is the Holy Spirit of God. (This is holy ground, isn't it, and I feel we should...

'Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, .. and fill up that which is behind .... of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh ...... for His body's sake, which is the church: ........ Whereof I am made a minister, .......... according to the dispensation of God ............ which is given to...

Hello again, @Aunty Jane, As I have already stated in reply#3, the baptism performed by John was divinely appointed for one purpose, that the Lord Jesus Christ should be made manifest to Israel. Prophecy concerning John the Baptist, tells us that he came to 'prepare' the way of the Lord, as a...

Hello @Aunty Jane, * John the Baptist tells us the Divine purpose for him baptizing, in John 1:31:- 'This is He of Whom I said, After me cometh a Man which is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come...

Hello @ByGraceThroughFaith, Thank you for both of your entries (replies #1 & #2) The Holy Spirit is The Spirit of God. We see Him evidenced as the Giver of power from on high (pnuema hagion - Luke 24:49), and through the administration of the spiritual gifts He bestowed during the Acts...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, (re: reply#26) I think this question of yours is a fair question, for I too have been thinking along similar lines today, concerning the oil in the lamps of the ten virgins being representative of the Holy Spirit. For if that is so, there is no question of the Holy...

‘Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.’ (Mat 24:42) The Parable of the Ten Virgins ‘Then shall the kingdom of heaven .. be likened unto ten virgins, .... which took their lamps, ...... and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were...

Hello @quietthinker, Interesting points to consider, thank you. My mind goes to Galatians 3:1-8:- 'O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you...
