Read it again... Only the first entity is to be worshiped.

As usual in these discussions, folks don't distinguish between 1. The Living Everlasting Word of God, the Logos which sustains all of creation, in other words Jesus... And 2. The Scripture - a reference to Truth given by God as written text that can not be understood of itself, but the...

I treasure it greatly as they do...

I have smuggled the Scripture into parts of the world where it is illegal. Believers there don't have it but they want it. They are believers because of Him.

Great start Rita, and some very good points. Your opening verse would have been mine as well...

OK study 4 is about the Character of God. This is a critical issue because without a clear and balanced understanding of the Character of God, theologies become skewed. Many folks struggle to marry the Compassion of Jesus with what seems like the unjustified judgements of God in the OT - this...

How are we going with Study 3 ??? (POST 343) Are we happy with the approach and format ? Feedback appreciated.

Thanks Mod's... sad really as I would have been more than happy to address any concerns but the aggressive attitude shown confirms that we are on the right track to create this safe space to work issues through together with Love and sensitivity.

Mmmm... OK then - no wisdom or council or strength or knowledge or understanding or fear of the Lord... But Hey - welcome to the friendly Bible Study @Behold - we all agree with the Nicene Creed here and don't debate the trinity - are you OK with that ?

Yes... it is well to remember that "In the name of Jesus" is a positional statement. Best not used if you are not in right relationship with Him. And certainly not an incantation or 'magic words' However the other truth you touched on is that the Father Gave Jesus His own Highest Name, The...

OK study 3... The Name of Jesus. Scriptures to read. Luke 2:21 Eph 1:19-23 Phil 2:9-10 Acts 4:17-19 Acts 4:29-31 Acts 5:39-41 Acts 8:12 Acts 19:11-17 Acts 26:8-10 1 Corinthians 5:4 John 17:6 John 17:11-12 John 17:26 Consider the meaning of the name. Consider where the name came...

Good question, My guess is that some are and some aren't. One aspect of being deceived is that deception blinds you to it's bondage.

I was very impressed to see this... Christian Musicians Worshiping publically in Tel Aviv in Hebrew with great skill and Joy. More about them here... https://presencerevival.com/#onze-missie

Yes - I appreciate your impassioned offering. Sadly, so many today do not make the distinction between the powerful wicked, and those who do not know what they do.

This is a common assumption - no mention means no message. We do not know there was no warning given to Sodom - what we do know is that their sin was indifference to the poor.

Your answer is in the last verse of the book of Jonah... 4:11 11 Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?” I know my wife has a gift of mercy...

Hi there, Please excuse a slight diversion - here is a post I wrote on another forum entitled "Forgive them for they know not what they do" Consider the Words of Jesus on the Cross... "Forgive them - for they know not what they do... " Bearing in mind, Jesus in His Perfection could not pray...

We are not talking about spiritual gifts. We are talking about what becomes available to us when we are born again and indwelled with the Holy Spirit.

Glad you raised this... 1 Cor 12 is about the Gifts of the Spirit, and associated ministries which are distributed as He wills. This is an outpouring usually associated with the Baptism in the Spirit (as at Pentecost.) What I am presenting here is not about the gifts, but about the...

I was thinking about this - Love from Our Perfect Father is vastly different than what often is expressed through the imperfect hearts of humans, even when they are indwelled by Him. This is why forgiveness is so critical - Peter denied Him 3 times with curses - Jesus particularly embraced...
