'He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A...

Hello @Mayflower, You asked Backlit for the reference he quoted, just in case he misses your post, here it is:- 'I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, 'He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.' Now I tell you...

Hi there, @Hidden In Him, Thank you for coming back to me on this. Your earlier post (reply#64), to which I replied in (reply#67) caused me to come to an abrupt stop:- * Would you please explain this to me, so that I can know how to proceed. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might...

Hello @justbyfaith, With respect, that really will not do. Surely it is a form of self-deception to make ONE be TWO? During the Acts of the Apostles, there were two baptisms, ie., water and Spirit, the type and the reality. The reality has always been the baptism of the Spirit, and when the...

Hi there @justbyfaith, I can't believe I am reading this!! You can't be serious. How do you justify that? o_O

'The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired Him that He would shew them a sign from heaven.' (Mat 16:1) Hello @Hidden In Him, I agree it is good to discuss these things together, even if we do not always agree. The Greek Interlinear Bible says regarding 'a sign from...

Hello Jay Ross, (Re. reply#56) Thank you for your advice, but in regard to Matthew 16:27,28 - 17:2-13, I believe the wording of 16:27,28 naturally leads on to what follows in chapter 17. Chapter breaks, verse breaks, subject heading and punctuation, necessary as they are, are all of man, and...

@Behold @justbyfaith @Truther @Pearl Hello there, Please don't take this personally, for it is not intended so. I hear people talking about Baptism, and it's purpose, with little recourse to what the Scriptures actually have to say about it. Also no one ever seems to take into consideration...

Re: Matthew 16:28:27-28 & Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:1-10; Luke 9:27-36; 2 Peter 1:16-20 Hello @Jay Ross, 'For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to His works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here...

Hello @Jacob28, I presumed that on a Christian forum, I was talking to fellow believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, therefore my justification for using the word, 'We', was on that basis. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Hidden In Him, Thank you for responding with your thoughts regarding 1 Corinthians 1:21-22, I agree that the signs looked for were those of Joel, and Peter in Acts 2:16 confirms that this is so. The 'signs following' of Mark 16:20 come into the same category as 'signs from heaven', for...

Hi there,@Don Mills, A Welsh 'Cwtch' is a big hug, and is amazingly therapeutic. I have missed being able to hug family members, and yesterday I broke the rules and cwtched my grandson as hard as could be, he is twelve years old and can beat me at arm wrestling, so he could handle it. Corona...

'But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' (Romans 5:8) Hello Jacob28, God loves not in word only but in deed and in truth. We know that He loves all men individually for although He sent His Son to die for the sins of the whole world...

'For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.' (Rom 1:16) Hello @Hidden In Him, ( Re. Reply #27 ) I believe that the confirmatory signs, which were Divinely worked, accompanied...

Hello @Hidden In Him, We can only know with certainty what is actually recorded concerning the power manifested. One thing that we do know, because it is a matter of record, is that during the Acts period, following the Lord's ascension, the disciples ' ... ... went forth, and preached every...

'That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,' (Ephesians 5:26) Hello @Hidden-in-Him, I want to thank you for this new thread. For coming to it this morning and reading the relevant Scriptures has acted on my mind as a washing: as in Ephesians 5:26, in the...

'For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy...

Hello @marks This brings the prayer of Paul in Ephesians chapter three to mind:- (14) For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (15) Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (16) That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be...

Hello again, @marks, No, it is not the Gospel of salvation, though it is very 'good news'. It was a word for believers. It is the deposit of truth committed by God to Paul by revelation, and which he was instructed and empowered to impart to the believers in His care. It is the truth that we...
