'The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.' (Psa 115:17) Hello there @April_Rose Death is the absence of life. Physical life. It cannot be a spiritual death, because man is born with a natural body and not a spiritual one (1 Corinthians 15:44-46). That is why it...

@BOWnQUIVER, Hello there, Wonderful as it is that I can 'know' God, and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit, it is even more wonderful to me that He could 'know' me! 'And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love...

Hello @mailmandan I have not read through the thread, or considered it's subject matter, but was drawn to what you had written. What a wonderful word of truth this is! I came across it myself again in my studies this week and rejoiced in it once more. The whole prayer is wonderful, but...

Hello @Ziggy, I have not read the thread, so have no idea what the subject matter is, but was drawn to your entry, and the link you provided. This is a very powerful piece of music, it's lyrics, the voice, and the music itself certainly get the message home, and exposes what sadly is the...

Hello there, Considering December the 25th and the use made of it by Christendom to celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, the wonderful fact that He was actually born on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and the significance of that, is lost to the majority of believers...

Hi @Nancy, After a year filled with dire reports, and the corona virus, I hope that you have time during this holiday period, to sit with a cup of cocoa and a mince pie, and enjoy reading about the birth of the Lord Jesus, God's only begotten Son, and be thankful. We don't need a holiday in...

Hello @Gailhunter, Thank you for the questions, I would like to answer the first one, 'Define Repentance?', for I believe that will determine the answers to the rest. * The words, 'repentance' and 'repent' are used to translate two Hebrew words, 'nacham' (and its derivatives) and 'shub'; and...

Hello @BarnyFife In quoting 'go and sin no more', and using it as you have, the implication is that you believe it possible for the believer to indeed, sin no more. Yet, in John's letters we are told that if we say that we are without sin that we lie. We are to reckon ourselves to be dead...

Replies #54-57, Hello @BarnyFife, It is obvious from your responses (above), that I have annoyed you by my entries. They were addressed to you as the one whose thread it was, and not always in response to anything you had said personally. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'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 the Lord.' (1Corinthians 1:30-31) Hello @BarnyFife, The believer finds that instead of...

'Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.' (2 Corinthians 3:17-18) Hello @BarnyFife...

Hello @BarneyFife, The Scriptures chosen and quoted in regard to a subject, are chosen because they have specific application to it. The Scripture you have chosen to head your thread (John 8:11) is not specifically about the subject you are raising, which is 'Sanctification'. You have taken...

Hello @quietthinker The mind of the flesh will always rebel against such teaching. I know the strength of my own flesh in these matters, and have a long retrospective view to judge my actions, and know their outcome. It is only God's mercy and grace which has prevailed, for in my flesh there...

'Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?' (Mat 6:27) Hello @marks & Co., Given the means of proper nourishment and pure air, physical stature must increase unconsciously and without an effort. In fact it cannot be held back! (I have evidence of this when I see my...

Hello @justbyfaith What I wrote does not negate the necessity to understand and know what is written in Scripture on any aspect of our faith. However @marks asks why the concentration on 'sin, sin, sin', when Salvation is through faith in Christ. Why, he asks, why are we not talking more about...

It is isn't it, I have a lot to thank our mutual friend, E.W.B for. Love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @marks, Saved to what? Is the question that holds the greatest joy to a believer, don't you think? It also keeps our minds stayed upon Christ. Thank you In Christ Jesus our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

Hello @marks, The enemy of our souls knows (if Christians do not) that Christ is the source of all our strength and blessing. His one aim, therefore, is to keep the heart from being occupied with Christ. Any means will serve his purpose so long as this can be accomplished. So he will occupy...

Hi @101G, Thank you for your response. I think of Ephesians 4:13-16:- 'Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and...

H8397, H1322, H7036, H2659, H3639, H3637, H954, H8414, H1322, G4799, G181 Hello @Behold All of the Strongs numbers (above) are translated 'confusion' as one of their translations, and all have reference to shame in some form. It makes for an interesting study, but reveals the depth to which...
