'Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.' (2 Timothy 2:15) Hello @soul man, In attempting to answer the question posed by your subject heading, 'What is a dispensation for?' I should have to begin by pointing to 2...

Hello @Episkopos, I have not found it to be popular by any means. The study that I have made is a personal one, and a very thorough one, therefore I am in no doubt as to it's conclusion. It is not an oversimplification, but a statement of fact, expressed in simple terms. Thank you With love...

Hello @BarnyFife, Hell, is the middle English word used for 'The place of the dead', for it's root meaning is, 'to hide away'. So, be it the grave, or the fire of destruction, at the judgment of the end time: both can be classified as 'The place of the dead'. There is no such thing as...

Hello @Cooper, Though neither a Trinitarian or a Jehovah's Witness, I think I am still allowed to respond: So, I thank you for your response, Cooper. :) I was glad to see your handling of Luke 13:32: for perfected (Gr. teleioo), as you say, has the meaning of bringing to completion in that...

Hello @Josho, Thank you for including this U-tube of Michelle Obama's speech. I heard a little on the BBC news here in the UK, but to hear it right through was really good. I was impressed. We have watched President Trump over his years of office with mixed feelings, but mostly dismay and...

'And He said unto them, "These are the words which I spake unto you, .. while I was yet with you, .... that all things must be fulfilled, ...... which were written in the law of Moses, ........ and in the prophets, and in the psalms, .......... concerning Me." Then opened He their...

Hello @Backlit, Are you happy with your responses? Do you feel you now understand this virus better? With love in Christ Jesus Chris

I liked that version too, but then, I am a golden oldie as well. :)

“It shall greatly help ye to understand the Scriptures if thou mark not only what is spoken or written, but of whom and to whom, with what words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstance, considering what goeth before and what followeth after. ” (Miles Coverdale)

Hello @soulman, As a dispensationalist myself I appreciate your attempt to explain what a dispensation is. It is a change of administration really, isn't it? For as it says in Hebrews 1:1, God has spoken, 'at sundry times', and, 'in divers manners'. He has spoken by the Prophets, and He has...

@icxn Thank you for expressing your thoughts on this. I was doubtful that I should have entered it, because it is not a Christian song, but I wanted to know if it would generate in others similar thoughts to my own. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

@Hidden In Him, @Ron Coates, @Heart2Soul, @Hidden In Him, @Rita, Thank you for your comments on this rendering of "The Sound Of Silence". It is very powerful, I agree, and has that prophetic quality, as you say. The last three verses had me in tears, because of the rage expressed at 'the...

Hello there, Above is the link to a song, 'The Sound of Silence', performed by a group called 'Disturbed'. When I heard it, it made a strong impact on me, and the wording brought God to my mind. I would like to hear what others think of it, please. Thank you With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Backlit, It has been good to read your testimony: thank you for sharing it with us. We are indeed accepted in the Beloved, and it is on that very ground that I cannot share your thoughts regarding the possibility of the loss of salvation. Our salvation will be realised when we are...

'If we this day be examined .. of the good deed done to the impotent man, .... by what means he is made whole; Be it known unto you all, .. and to all the people of Israel, .... that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, ...... whom ye crucified, ........ Whom God raised from the dead...

Hi there ,@BarneyFife , In the wee small hours of this morning, I thought about this thread, and the need to encourage and strengthen other believers, rather than condemn, and the words of an old hymn came to mind:- Tell me the old, old story, Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory...

'And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.' (John 20:30-31) Hello @Episkopos, I...

'Finally, my brethren, .. be strong in the Lord, .... and in the power of His might. ...... Put on the whole armour of God, ........ that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, .. but against principalities, .... against powers...

Hello there, Thank you for the OP, with it's link. I have read it through, and found it very informative. Interesting! In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @BarneyFife, Looking up the word Author, to find the reference in Hebrews 12, I found two others which I would like to share:- 'And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him;' (Hebrews 5:9) 'Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about...
