Hello there, It is not without reason that Paul said in Ephesians 4:- 'I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; ... ... ' Within the...

Hello @Prayer Warrior, Reading through this thread, and listening to the song at the end has been a blessing to me. Thank you for starting it. In bed last night I opened my Bible to the account of Jonah, and read of his attempt to flee the presence of God, and of the storm that God...

@Davy, @Hidden In Him, @VictoryinJesus, @marks, @Enoch111, @quietthinker * Thank you all for your input: although I think that the point has been missed, but I do not have it in me to go into it further at the moment. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

'Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: .. in it thou shalt not do any work, .... thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, ...... nor thy cattle, nor...

Hi @marks, Gentile believers were being 'made nigh' unto God, by the blood of Christ. Having previously been 'without God' and 'without Christ'. Now salvation had been sent to the Gentiles, and Christ was 'in' (or 'among') them as 'their hope of glory' (Colossians 1:27). Salvation having...

Hello @BarnyFife, Perhaps the others are not used as a means of judging others, as this one is. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @marks Galatians was one of the first epistles that Paul wrote, so I do believe that these gentiles were grafted into Israel's olive tree, and partook of it's covenant blessings. For the door was open for 40 years for Israel to repent, and during that time, following Peter's use of the keys...

'The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.' (Jeremiah 11:16) Hi there, In Romans 11, Paul takes the figure of the Olive tree from Jeremiah, but he also refers to...

'Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.' (Col 2:16) Hello BarneyFife, A day of rest is advantageous for everyone, and meeting together...

Hello @marks, The story bears out in picture form the condition of one under the dominion of the law and in contrast one who has been freed from it by redemption. The two Jerusalems, earthly and heavenly bear this out too. The earthly one was still in slavery and subject to a Gentile power...

'Be careful for nothing; .. but in every thing .... by prayer and supplication ...... with thanksgiving ........ let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, .. which passeth all understanding, .... shall keep your hearts and minds ...... through Christ Jesus.'...

'For of this sort are they which creep into houses, .. and lead captive silly women laden with sins, .... led away with divers lusts, ...... ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.' (2 Timothy 3:6) Hello there, @Behold and Co., Strangely enough, in spite of all the...

Hello @Stan B, Thank you, I agree that it is a yet future event. Would you please explain what you mean by the words, 'the invocation New Covenant' please? Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @marks, Thank you for your response. In Answer to your question:- 'And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;' (Romans 11:17) * Gentiles believer, who...

Hello @marks Thank you for your response. I believe that the New Covenant is in abeyance at present, for as the Old Covenant was made with Israel, so will the New Covenant be. Israel is in a Lo-ammi condition at the moment, having failed to repent and acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as...

'Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, .. that in the latter times .... some shall depart from the faith, ...... giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; ........ Speaking lies in hypocrisy; .......... having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and...

'Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, .. that I will make a new covenant .... with the house of Israel, ...... and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My...
