Hello there,@Funny bird, I thank you for referring to Proverbs 19:14, for it has caused me to consider other verses which refer to a wife, especially the virtuous woman of Psalm 31. It has made me see how important it is to be very careful in the choice of a partner, and to be sure that you...

Hello @marks, These questions, 'if so, how?' and 'if not? could lead a child of God to harmful introspection: in the search for that certain 'something', within her experience, which will give evidence to the fact that she does indeed have the Spirit of adoption. For the question 'if not?'...

Hello @user Your subject heading is:- 'Peter & Paul's Gospel: Were they the same?' yet your OP suggests that you are concerned only with one aspect of their witness, and that is concerning water baptism. Is this so? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Mark When you consider the situation Paul was in, as a prisoner, at the time of writing, and the situation that the Philippian believers were also in, with persecution and the danger of torture and death under Nero. Then looking through the eyes of the flesh, rejoicing would be the last...

@101G, @Joseph77, @bbyrd009, @tigger 2, @Enoch111 Thank you all for your input. I am surprised to see so many posts. This subject, which concerns the deity of Christ, is vitally important I believe, and so much under attack within recent times. John tells us, 'The Word was made flesh and...

Hi @marks, The following index taken from a booklet I have on the two natures in the child of God is useful:- The names and characteristics of the Old nature:- 1) The Flesh (John 3:6; Romans 8:8; John 6:63; Romans 7:18) 2) The Natural Man (1 Corinthians 2:14) 3) The Old Man (Ephesians...

Hello @marks I believe that putting off the old man is an act of faith. Reckoning the old man to have died with Christ, and reckoning the new man to be alive unto God. Walking in newness of life before the Father: as though in the world but not of it, for our citizenship is in heaven. It is...
