'I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat...

'But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death...

Hello @marks I have not been following this thread, but I noticed your last response and looked back to see to what it applied, and found this. How wonderful it is that we have not been placed under law. How hard and diligently Paul fought for his Gentile converts, to keep them from those...

Hello there, Amadeus, Our times are in His Hands. May His perfect will be done both in and through you, for His Name and glory's sake. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My...

Hello again, @FluffyYellowDuck, I apply this same principle (reply#36) to telephone scams, for when someone telephones me, telling me that my computer has a fault and I aught to go online and fix it under their direction, or that my account has been compromised and that in order to fix it I...

Hello @FluffyYellowDuck You have made an interesting point here, and it reminds me of what is said about the effect that the giving of the law had. Paul said that he did not know 'lust' until the law said 'thou shalt not covert', and then sin took advantage of that commandment and wrought...

'And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for His only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is...

'But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, He hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And He shall send...

'Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in...

Hello @Pearl Thank you for responding. It comes under the heading of 'Political Correctness' I think. Yet, in regard to the 9/11 remembrance service, and the reading from Romans 8:35-39, without those seven vital words, 'which is in Christ Jesus our Lord,' it makes what is said within it...

'And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.' (John 16:23-24) Hello there, If the subject of...

Hello @marks Are we not complete in Christ? 'Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is...

Hello @marks, I know nothing about this. So I decided to take a look and see what I could find from Scripture regarding the latter rain. The first reference to it is in Deuteronomy 11:14, where Moses is speaking to the Children of Israel concerning the promised land, and their entry into it:-...

Hello @Ferris Bueller, The believer does not sin willfully, neither is he unbelieving. I agree that the unbelieving will be judged when Christ returns, for that is the testimony of Scripture, and not mere opinion. The once-saved-always-saved argument is of your introduction. It has nothing...

'Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.' (Philippians2:12-13) Hello @Ferris Bueller, I...

'For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.' (Heb 10:26) Hello @justbyfaith, I am not acquainted with the...

Hello @Alvertsky, Yes, it is wonderful to know that the Lord is indeed with those who have placed their trust on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Alvertsky, No, I do not 'pick-and-choose' as you say, but I do take note of who is being spoken to, by whom and with what intent, for though all Scripture is 'for' us, not all is 'about' us. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Alvertsky, With respect, Joshua 1:1-9, is spoken to Joshua and to the children of Israel that he was being instructed to lead into the promised land. Lovely as these words are, we cannot apply them to ourselves. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris
