'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.' (Philippians 2:12-13) Hello @historyb, When...

Hello @theefaith, I do not believe that faith is a 'work'. For faith comes by 'hearing' and hearing by, 'the word of God' (Romans 10:17). It is the action upon the heart and mind by the word of God concerning God's Son the Lord Jesus Christ that produces faith. The seed of faith is implanted...

'I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth ) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth ) How that he...

Hello @Devin Wintch, I will not derail your thread by entering into a discussion on the second death or the lake of fire, but stand by my statement that it is not a matter of Heaven or Hell as a destination on the day of judgement, but of life or death, for that is what is at stake. Thank you...

'For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by...

'But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.' (Heb 11:6) Hello @Devin Wintch, I checked on-line, and it is pronounced to be a fiction. Stating (quote):- Pope Francis Says...

Hello @justbyfaith, I did not say that Galatians was written to the Jew, however there are things within it that are directed to the Jews in their assembly, specifically. The content of this post, as with the others you have addressed to me, must be brought to the word of God and judged...

'Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of...

Hello @Devin Wintch, With respect, the 'saints' are still awaiting resurrection, along with the rest of mankind. Angels are also a different created form than man. Mankind do not transform into angels. If you have been seeing what you believe to be dead saints in angel form then you are...

@HiddenInHim, Hi there, I have just noticed that this thread is not in the 'current affairs and political' section of the forum, but in that entitled, 'Eschatology and Prophecy'. Why did you choose to put this thread in this section, HiddenInHim? Do you believe that somehow Mr Trump has a...

Hi @Nancy, Yes, in our democratic nations we vote our political parties into power. I am not greatly interested in politics, but try to be informed sufficiently to be able to vote. The President or Prime Minister (in our case) represents his political party, and should be their voice, as a...

@HiddenInHim and co., Hello there, May I ask as an outsider, but one who has watched what has been happening during this presidents term of office with interest, why you should feel that Mr Donald Trump is the one most suitable to represent your nation, and what he has done internally to...

(Re. quote (above): - Forgive me for altering the form of your OP in order to understand you, for I have not altered the wording) Hi @Mayflower You were right to draw our attention to this, and to ask the questions you have asked. I agree also with your conclusions, and thank you for the...

Hi @Rita I am in the same situation as yourself. Thank you for sharing. With love to you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @Rita, When you look back at the Old Testament, and see the incredibly detailed instruction God gave concerning every aspect of the making of the tabernacle in the wilderness, and the temple later, with it's materials and furnishing; the priests and the instruction regarding their dress, and...

Yes, 'Over and out'. I fear we have dera Hello @justbyfaith, Would you please equip me with the scriptural ground you have for this thinking so that I can respond appropriately. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

@CharismaticLady @Nancy Hi there, I believe there is sufficient internal evidence which marks this letter as being that of Paul, by both style and content. The use of words common to Paul, and used in his other Epistles, and figures, such as 'a race', with its striving and running with a...

Hi @CharismaticLady & @Nancy, Yes, I'm sat at my dining table typing away. I prefer to leave the authorship where it has been assigned, though it is it's content which matters more than it's authorship, don't you agree? Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @Nancy, The following is interesting in regard to the writer of Hebrews being Paul:- 'And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in...

Hi @CharismaticLady On what basis? In Christ Jesus Chris
