Hello @soul man, I am sorry, for I realise that I did not stick to the brief: re. Wisdom. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:23-31:- But we preach Christ crucified, .. unto the Jews a stumblingblock, .... and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, ...

Hello @Enoch111 Sheol/Hades both refer to the place of the dead: whatever that 'place' may be, whether it be a grave or a tomb, it is where the body lies, and where corruption takes place, hidden away from public gaze. * Hell, Hades and Gehenna, all refer to the place of the dead, whether it...

'Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent He, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of...

Hello @theefaith, 'Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father.' (John 10:17) :)

Hello @soul man, In Ephesians 3:14-21, and the prayer found there: the request is that we would be strengthened with might in our inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith, that we being rooted and grounded in love, may with all saints know, what is the length, depth, breadth and...

Hello @Moriah's Song, Christ Jesus the risen Lord is at God's right hand in the heavenlies, far above all principality, power, might and dominion. A position of great power and authority. He is our great high Priest, our Intercessor. Praise God! The Church which is His Body, await His...

'To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in (or among) you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I...

'Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual...

'Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun...

Hello there, @Daniel Veler, The title used by Paul when addressing God in prayer is, 'The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' (2 Corinthians 11:31; Ephesians 1:3) as does Peter in 1 Peter 1:3. That title hedges truth around in such a way that it leaves no room for anyone other than one...

the Hello @Enoch111, You say that (quote) 'while the body of Christ lay in the tomb, His soul and spirit were in Sheol/Hades.' * The body energised by the spirit (or breath of life) is a living soul. The Lord Jesus Christ, while on the cross, commended His spirit unto God, before giving up...

@@Bob Estey * This is the honour that we seek isn't it?:- 'Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire...

Hello @Bob Estey As I read your entry, into my mind came a verse which I looked up, and found the whole passage so good that I am going to quote it all, it is John 5:30-47, in which the Lord Jesus said:- 'I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because...

Hello there, As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord, our fellowship is with the Father and with the Son by the Spirit (1 John 1:3), and our fellowship with each other is reflective of the fellowship that we have had individually there. If that fellowship is lacking then...
