Hello @Robert Gwin, All of your points have merit, but I believe designating smoking as 'sin' only empowers it. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello again, The next verse is 1 Corinthians 1:10, ‘Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.’ (1...

Hello there, Continuing with the study on 'The Mind' (Nous) The next verse is Romans 14:5, “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” (Romans 14:5) * This is in regard to the observing of days, etc., and...

'And as he (Joseph) thought upon these things, .. behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, .... saying, Joseph, son of David, ...... do not fear to take to you Mary as your wife. ........ For that in her is fathered of the Holy Spirit. .......... And she shall bear a son...

Hello @BroRando, I love these verses, and those in 1 John1:1-3, where John refers to the wonder of the fact that they, the Lord's companions during his earthly ministry, had not only seen and heard Him, but had handled Him. Such physical intimacy that friends enjoy, they had known with the...

Hello @theQuestioneer, Yes, Praise God! Jehovah does 'prove to be' everything that His People have need of, as the list below will show. * 'Elohim' is the name for God as the Creator of all things. 'Jehovah' is the name used of the same God in covenant relation to those whom He has created...

Hello @keithr The word, 'Trinity' is not Scriptural, so I do not stand in defence of it: but for the deity of Christ I do. The whole of Scripture declares the truth of the presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, but One God at work. God has to use words that we will...

'This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (see Deuteronomy 19:15 & Deuteronomy 17:6 and Numbers 35:30) I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them...

For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12: 8) Hello again, @soul man, Yes, Paul asked the Lord on three occasions that this 'infirmity' might...

'But while he (Joseph) thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt...

'And lest I should be exalted above measure .. through the abundance of the revelations, .... there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, ...... the messenger of Satan to buffet me, ........ lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, .. that it might...

Hello @theefaith Your replies make it obvious that you do not read the responses you receive, so further correspondence is futile. I can only pray that God will lift the veil from your eyes so that you will be enabled to see the truth concerning these things. Thank you and goodbye for now. In...

'And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.' (Luke 1:38) Hello @theefaith, Mary believed God, and humbly bowed to His will. She was the Mother of God's only Begotten Son: but apart from giving birth to the Saviour...

Hello USER=9099]@theefaith[/USER], And the multitude cometh together again, .. so that they could not so much as eat bread. And when His friends heard of it, .. they went out to lay hold on Him: .... for they said, "He is beside himself."... ... '... ... There came then His brethren and...

Hello @theefaith, Mary was indeed 'Highly Favoured' by God, in giving birth to His only Begotten Son: and all generations since have acknowledged this wondrous fact. However our desire should be to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Christ Jesus His Son: and not to elevate...

'Be it known unto you all, .. and to all the people of Israel, .... that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, ...... whom ye crucified, ........ whom God raised from the dead, .......... even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of...

'For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.' (Gal 5:13 ) Hello @Phoneman777, The words you used are not that of Paul, he would not have spoken in such a fashion. He would have confirmed that they were not...

Hello @Ronald Nolette, Though I understand your use of the figure of a physician: Paul himself was no physician, either physical or spiritual, but He was the Apostle of the risen Christ, and as such spoke with the Authority of God the Father and of Christ, by Whom He was chosen and equipped for...

Hello @Marc RL Ministry, It was interesting reading the link you provided. I live in the UK and was not aware that the Roman Catholic Church has tax exemption in the USA, or that it was considering preventing it's parliamentary membership from receiving the eucharist if they support abortion...
