But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.' (1 Corinthians 11:16) Hi @101G, So, 'contentiousness' is not a 'custom' of either Paul and his co-workers, or in the churches of God. Interesting, when we appear to be surrounded by contentiousness...

'For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to...

'For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman...

Hello @Ferris Bueller, No, I am not bothered by this. It is not good that man should be alone. A 'helpmeet' is something we all need. Someone to be there for us. Apart from the fact, of course, that the two together are necessary for the procreation of children. So, I praise God for His...

Hello there, Sanctification is one of the four things which God has made Christ to be unto His people. They are 'Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption.' (1 Corinthians 1:30) It is the common practice with those who do not see the truth of 'the two natures' to...

'And the devil, taking Him up into an high mountain, shewed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto Him, "All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If Thou therefore...

'And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19) Hi @marks, * The risen Christ said to Paul:- 'But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to...

'And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: ... ' (Ephesians 2:1-2) Hello @marks Since...

Hi @Grailhunter, Message received and understood. Point taken. o_O Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

When did I ask for such things to be brought to light? How dare you suggest that I would be party to this!!! Chris

This is dreadful @Taken!! Why do you have to expose us to these details? Is this the right place for such allegations? This is a Christian forum. 'And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But...

Hello @Mayflower Why do you believe there is fraud taking place? What evidence is there to believe this to be true? Have those who claim this told you what evidence they have for making this assertion? Or is it an unsubstantiated allegation? Why should you, as an American, believe that your...

Hi @April_Rose No offence taken. I understand why you should say that: but I, like many who have watched the events taking place in your country, are saddened by the changes in attitudes taking place before our eyes. We get good independent, reliable coverage of the news on the BBC, which has...

Hello there, Slander is one of the characteristics of Satan, I do not think we should be found using such tactics as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The accusation of fraud is very serious indeed, especially made against someone who is likely to hold the office of President of the united...

Hi @Ziggy The closure of places of worship, and other places where people congregate is a means to an end, and not a permanent restriction. It is designed to protect the vulnerable from contamination from the corona virus. To rebel against this would be an act of potential violence against...

Hello there, This thread has had many responses which I have not read, but some I have. However, surely what matters is that the Church which is the Body of Christ, which has no building, but which is joined to Christ the Head, and is linked by joints and bands in the spirit, is not influenced...

Hello there, This is a Christian form, so why is there a place within it for political debate? Read Paul's advice to Timothy, and consider what our stance should be in regard to these political matters. 'Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things...

Hello 2T.G., 'Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me.' (John 5:39) 'And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that...

'For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and...

Hi @Grailhunter, I read this morning something which caught my eye concerning God's nature. It was that God is Christ-like, for Christ is God manifest in the flesh isn't He? Which reminds me of the conversation that our Lord had with Philip in John 14, for in verse 9 we read:- 'Jesus saith...
