Hello @theefaith You have quoted 2 Scriptures to me (Luke 3:2 & 1 Corinthians 11:23), as examples of how the word of God came unto John the Baptist, and to Paul, and there is no doubt that they did receive Divine instruction, for we are told so quite clearly: and what was revealed to them is...

Hello @theefaith, The word 'limited' is unsatisfactory: for God is not limited, neither are His words: for they are 'spirit' and they are 'life'; they are 'quick' and 'powerful' and sharper than a two-edged sword. I believe also that they are the sum of all Divine revelation. Thank you In...

Hello @theefaith, The Church which is the Body of Christ, referred to in Ephesians 1:22-23, is the Church over which Christ is the Head. Referring to Peter's words in Matthew 16:16, which were a revelation from God the Father (Matthew 16:17), spoken in response to a question concerning the...

Praise God! @David in NJ, yes. How lovely! Thank you for blessing me. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @soul man I have only just seen this thread, and read your OP. Interesting, (Thank you) :) * My first thought goes to Luke 24:49 & Acts 1:4, which refer to the coming of the Holy Ghost as a promise previously made by God the Father. When I look for the origin of this promise in the OT...

------------- I am glad you think so, @David in NJ, Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @theefaith, It is the Bible which contains the doctrines taught by the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ: Called to that office by the will of God; Whose words are recorded in the Epistles for our learning. * To call the words, 'The Bible Alone,' a, 'doctrine,' is silly: for it is not a...

Hello @MatthewG, Thank you for including the link. I have listened to it, and am in agreement with what the speaker says concerning the verses in 2 Corinthians 5 (quoted in the OP), but don't feel able to click the 'like' button because I am not entirely happy with his final words, which I...

'For the love of Christ constraineth us; .. because we thus judge, .... that if one died for all, then were all dead: ...... And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, .. but unto Him which died for them, .... and rose again. Wherefore...

Hello @Truman the Levite, What do you mean by this? I don't understand. In Christ Jesus Chris

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

Hello there I thank the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ that He is merciful and gracious, and that His love will be poured out upon those who have placed their trust in Him: that He will be with them, and be their comfort. That those in Afghanistan who are caught up in the conflict...

Hello @CharismaticLady Yes, I have heard this before concerning Abraham's Bosom being considered to be the place where Old Testament saints went when they died, but have yet to find a source for that information. I was told that Josephus mentions it as a doctrine held by the Pharisees, he...

Thank you,MatthewG, Your words remind me of the prayer of Ephesians chapter one, I will quote it from verse 15-23:- 'Wherefore I also, .. after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, .... and love unto all the saints, ...... Cease not to give thanks for you, ........ making mention of you...

Hello @CharismaticLady, I have only now read your OP. I also do not believe that predestination relates to salvation, but to what accompanies it. (Romans 8:29; Ephesians 1:5 & Ephesians 1:11 KJV - translated 'foreordained' in this translation) Would you please explain your words,' in...

'Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.' (2 Timothy 1:13) Hello there, I am conscious that my faith is under trial. Not my faith in Christ, as my Saviour and Lord, but the 'form of sound words' which comprise it. It has...
