'I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.' (Gal 2:20) 'We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing...

As I have said, @Christophany, I will check this out with the original wording, and compare Scripture with Scripture to arrive at the truth. There may be no reason why Galatians 2:20, Galatians 2:16 and Philippians 3:9 should be worded as they are, but it must be checked out. Thank you In...

Hello @Candidus, With respect, I do not believe that what is happening is the result of God's Judgment, for the Lord has not returned as Judge. So we are still living in the day of salvation, or of grace(2 Corinthians 6:2): the door is still open for mankind to seek after God and find Him...

No it does not help, @Christophany, but thank you for responding. I will compare Scripture with Scripture and check out what you have said. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

(1 Samuel 28) Hello there, It was the manifestation of a deceiving spirit impersonating Samuel, as done by mediums today. Samuel's spirit was with God (Ecclesiastes 12:7). The medium says that Samuel wore a mantel, but Samuel would have been wearing grave-clothes, for his body was in the...

Hello @Christophany, Thank you. You may be right. Yet, looking up the Greek interlinear Bible this does not appear to be the case. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, In the light of the tremendous fires that have raged, and are raging in the USA and that have also wreaked havoc in Australia. Have sceptics regarding global warming had to re-evaluate their thinking on this issue? With the decreasing population of creatures on our planet...

'I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.' (Gal 2:20) Hello @Christophany, I woke with this verse on my mind, and realised...

'I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.' (Gal 2:20) Hello @soul man, We reckon ourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but...

Hello Dear heart, I awoke this morning with the words of Galatians 2:20 on my mind and on my lips, and I can think of nothing else at the moment. For me as a believing gentile the law has no relevance: for the law was given to Israel; so whether written on tablets of stone, or on fleshy...

'As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.' (1 Peter 4:10) Hi @marks, There is no reason for us to consider these words, 'written in our hearts', for they were never written to the members of the church which...

Hello @marks, The law is not said to be written on the hearts of those who are members of the church which is Christ's Body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all. All that can be found concerning them, is to be found in the later epistles of Paul (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 &...

Hello @soul man, Reading your post, I realised just how much that was not true of me. I am very aware of God's love for me, but am not aware of my love for Him. I realise how little I consider others, let alone God, in relation to what I do or say. I am not aware that love for the Father...

'Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he...

Hello @CharismaticLady, I have not heard Romans 4 used in this way myself, but if that is so it is a misuse of Scripture. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @marks I believe the law of conscience is something which every person possesses, and that the law given through Moses to Israel has nothing to do with it. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @marks, I don't think we can compare one with the other: for God's purpose for Stephen was different to that of Paul, and God confirmed the ministry of Paul with the miraculous, as He had with Stephen. Also, these works were of God, and not of either man. Yes, in Romans 7:7 Paul uses...

Thank you to:- @Nancy @Enoch111 @101G

Hello @Enoch111, You must take this up with the writer of 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, for they are his words, and not mine. As the Apostle of Christ, then they are also the words of the risen Christ, spoken by Paul, so it is with Him that you must enquire. For it is He which speaks of the law given...

'As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, .. so walk ye in Him: .... Rooted and built up in Him, ...... and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, ........ abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, .. after...
