Hello @VictoryinJesus, You make comparisons here between Proverbs 4:18-22, 'the perfect day', and, Matthew 5:43-48, 'Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect', ending with 1 John 4:17 and Proverbs 4:18, with emphasis on the word 'perfect'; and the day of...

Hello @Curtis Forgive me, but I don't understand. Do we differ in our understanding of the definition of the word mind (nous)? Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Backlit, No 'Aaannd', just letting the word of God speak. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

That no flesh should glory in His presence. .. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, .... Who of God is made unto us ...... wisdom, and ........ righteousness, and .......... sanctification, and ............ redemption: That, according as it is written, .. He that glorieth, .... let Him glory in...

' And He said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, And not man for the Sabbath: Therefore the Son of Man Is Lord of the Sabbath.' (Mark 2:27-28)

'For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name.' (Luke 1:49) Hi @theefaith, It is an exclamation of wonder, worship and praise I believe, because Mary has been so 'highly favoured (charitoo)' [Luke 1:28]. It should be our cry too, as those who have been saved by...

Hi @Backlit, If you were to say that the commandments were given to the Jews, I would say, 'yes'. For they were given to be kept as part of a conditional covenant made between God and the children of Israel at Mount Sinai. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Backlit, What a shame you have to resort to personal attack in order to make your point. The weekly sabbath, and the annual feast days are all the subject of Scripture, which can be read by any man. As for what you perceive to be my 'unbelief', I suggest you lay it at the feet of Him...

Hello @Backlit The Bereans (Acts 17:11) received the word given by Paul, an Apostle of the risen Christ: He was chosen by the will of God to preach the word of God made known to Him by Divine revelation. They received it readily, but searched the Scriptures daily to see if what was spoken was...

Hello @Backlit You are not to be judged for observing the Sabbath day, any more that those of us who do not observe it should be judged for not doing so, for it is unto the Lord that we do anything. God in Christ alone can make righteous judgments, for only He knows the heart of man, and can...

Hello @Backlit, Thank you for your response. You ask, How would I learn of God's will for me? Surely the answer to that is clear:- by reading God's word, and by appropriating it. It is certainly not by listening to the words of man on any subject. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? .. to his own master he standeth or falleth. .... Yea, he shall be holden up: ...... for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: .. another esteemeth every day alike. .... Let every man be fully persuaded in...

'But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: .. and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; .... But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: ...... and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you ........ a reason of the hope that is in you with...

“Then opened He their understanding (nous), that they might understand the scriptures.” (Luke 24:45) Hello @Ronald Nolette, Yes, in it's first usage we see the risen Lord opening the eyes of the understanding of His disciples on the road to Emmaus. How blest those of us are who have received...

Hello @ReChoired, May God's word be the Arbiter on this subject as all others, and may His perfect will be done in each one of us, for His Name and Glory's sake. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @ReChoired I have no desire to pursue this line of enquiry with you. I have given you my response to this in a former post, and see no reason for further discussion on it. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @ReChoired, If that is the response you 'normally receive', perhaps you should ask yourself why. Or do you believe that it is only yourself and those of like mind as yourself who have the TRUTH. I have the word of God as you have, and it alone is my teacher in the hand of the Holy...

Hello @JunChosen, Thank you for responding. In Romans 9:27, concerning Israel it is said, 'a remnant shall be saved'. This was so at the time of the writing of Paul's epistle, for only a remnant had believed the gospel during the ministry of Christ Himself, and of 'those who heard Him' (the...

'Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.' (Eph 3:20-21) Hello @Robert Gwin, Thank you for responding...
