Hi @Ziggy & @Nancy, Picking up on what I said in the entry above about the word 'Course' in Ephesians 2:2 and it's context, 'the course of this world'. I have looked up the usage of the word elsewhere in Scripture, and find that it is translated from several Greek and Hebrew words, but it is...

Hi Ziggy, Father, Son and Holy Spirit - yet One God, in Whose likeness we were created. Praise God! In Christ Jesus Chris

Thank you, Ziggy.

'And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.' (Act 13:25) Yes, Ziggy, John the Baptist, too. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

'And now, lo, I - bound in the Spirit - go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing, save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain; but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life...

'And when He is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to Him by Himself, saying, 'Tell us, when shall these be? and what is the sign of Thy presence, and of the full end of the age?' And Jesus answering said to them, 'Take heed that no one may lead you astray, .. for...

'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: Among whom also we all had our conversation in...

Hi @Ziggy, I do know what you mean about hearing the tone of what is being said as you read the word of God. It is also the Holy Spirit's sword isn't it? He uses it to quicken us, to stop us in our tracks, to make us consider, to question, to reduce us to tears of gratitude at the mercy, love...

'Oh that My head were waters, .. and mine eyes a fountain of tears, .... that I might weep day and night ...... for the slain of the daughter of My People! Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; .. that I might leave My People, and go from them! .... for they be...

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: Among whom also we all had our conversation in...

'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: Among whom also we all had our conversation in...

Hello @Randy Kluth, Forgive me, but I feel the need to question your use of the words I have highlighted. For they imply conditions placed upon that wondrous gift. Righteousness is imputed (reckoned, counted or attributed) to those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour and...

Hi @Ziggy, Thank you for replying. I can understand your choice of these verses, but in actual fact the truth of the Church which is the Body of Christ, was not made known until after Paul wrote 1&2 Corinthians, 1&2 Thessalonians, Galatians, Romans and Hebrews. It was made known by revelation...

Hi @Ziggy, Thank you for responding my two posts. The Church which is His Body consists of individual believers, joined together in perfect unity in Christ Jesus their Head. They may never meet while in this life, perhaps, but God knows who they are. They are joined together in love...

Hello again, @Ziggy, Living in Wales, where sheep roam the hills, I am familiar with sheep. They have a place in my memories. Memories of sheep dancing on the metal roof of the outhouse in their attempt to negotiate a path off the mountain whose slopes our house was attached to. Of my Father...

Hello @Ziggy, Pearls are formed through suffering. 'And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, "Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." And he carried me away in the spirit to a great...

Hello @soul man, I have only now seen your OP! Praise God! For His wondrous grace. '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...

Hello @Philip James, I think you know what I intended by those words. The love that God requires is that which is born of His Spirit, the fruit of His indwelling, a love that is manifested 'in deed and in truth'. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Backlit, I agree that being a good person has nothing to do with salvation. Thank you for this information. I have very little understanding of the Roman Catholic Church or it's teaching, or that of any other denomination for that matter. I am only interested in what the Bible has to...
