    2 Peter 1:10 - 'Calling' & 'Election'

    Hi @Hidden In Him, I am sorry not to have answered straight away. I got thrown by the question you asked of me at the end concerning what I had added to my faith, for I don't tend to enter into self-examination, and did not know how to respond. o_O I believe you are right that in 2 Peter...

    Keep smiling! :) * I guess we should be grateful that we have people with the expertise to apply themselves to find a cure. That we have hospitals, nurses and doctors who can take care of us if we should contract this virus. * At least we know that there is medication and equipment suitable...

    Hi @Waiting on him, I know that many of the Psalms are Messianic, yes, but not all. Is there a reason why you ask me this in relation to the subject matter of this thread? :)

    Grace 2

    Hello @soul man, I believe that these prayers relate to something more than the experience of being born from above. It has to do with the acknowledgement of the church which is the body of Christ, and all that is associated with it, and of Christ which is it's Head. This is why 'the spirit...
