Hello @101G, Thank you for your reply. I do see what you are saying. However, it cannot be denied that the Lord Jesus Christ was God's only begotten Son. Therefore not metaphorical but a living breathing man, born of a woman. It has reference to gender, for as a Son, He was also an Heir. The...

'To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.' (2 Cor. 5:19) Hello @101G, 'The Word' is a title of the Lord Jesus Christ. of Whom it is prophetically spoken, 'a body hast...

Hello @brionne, The work of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is the constant testimony of Scripture, their presence is interwoven throughout. For example:- 'Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there...

'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.' (Ephesians 2:8-10) Hello...

@Enoch111 , @CharismaticLady, @CadyandZoe, @quietthinker Hello there, Thank you for your responses. I believe that every word is of importance in God's word, and that terms used are used with a purpose, so if it says, 'The Lord's Day' or 'The Day of God'(or 'of Jehovah') those differences...

'And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.' (Luke 17:20) Hello @CharismaticLady...

Hello there, What is the difference between 'the day of God' and 'the day of the Lord'? 'Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise...

'Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out...

Hello again, There is a resurrection for 'the church which is His body the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.'(Ephesians 1:22-23), which Paul came to hope for, and expressed in Philippians 3:11: the word translated, 'resurrection' used there being different from that used elsewhere:- Gr...

'But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. ' (Rev 20:5a) Hello @brionne, You asked for my comment regarding the resurrection which is said to take place after the 1,000 years were finished, which was one of two mentioned in relation to the millennial...

Hello @brionne I think it is good to quote the exact wording of 1 Corinthians 15:21-22), so that we know we understand each other:- 'For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.' * In Adam all...

'It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. (1 Corinthians 15:44) Hello @BARNEY BRIGHT, Your response brings up several different points which could be discussed. However, in relation to the moment when death will be...

Hello @Deborah, I was referring to the term, 'slain in the spirit', and all that we see manifested in this day that is claimed to be of the Spirit: and not to 1 Samuel 19:23-24. I have now altered reply#5, to make that clear. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @marks, Hello @marks, God said to the children of Israel, 'be ye holy, for I am holy'. God is Holy, 'set apart', because of His eminence. The believer has been 'set apart' (ie., sanctified) unto Him too, in Christ Jesus, for His service. In Ephesians 1:4, we are told that the members...

Hi @Deborah, Thank you for your explanation. Yes, my mistake, re. David, for it was Saul who was the subject of the reference you gave. I don't believe that these manifestations (ie., being slain in the spirit) require discernment, for I do not believe that they are of the Holy Spirit. In...

Hello Anthony, The Lord Himself told His disciples that He would be put to death by crucifixion. In the gospel of God concerning His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, emphasis is not on the cross itself, but the fact that He, 'died for our sins' (1 Corinthians 15:3). The teaching of the cross is...

Hello @Pianoworldstage, In both the verses you have quoted, the issue is not salvation. Salvation is not a matter of election, even though in His foreknowledge God knows in advance those who will believe the gospel of God concerning His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. Predestination...

Hello there, @Agios, The dispensationalist in question must have been referring to the Lord's use of the word 'Gehenna' (translated 'hell') for that refers to the fires of judgement that will exist in the judgement of the end time. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris
