Hello @CharismaticLady, It is sad to read your entries in this thread. To argue is futile. May God's word be the arbiter. In Christ Jesus Chris

'But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' (Rom 6:22-23) Hello brian100, Thank you for your response. May...

'Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that...

Hello @brian100, I am glad that you believe that Christ died in your place, and that you have the promise of the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus. No, I don't know why you asked me this. I am going off-line now, so I will have to read your anticipated reply tomorrow. Thank you In Christ...

Hello @brian100 'Jesus saith unto her, "Thy brother shall rise again". Martha saith unto Him, "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And...

Hello @brian100, Yes, the Bible speaks of death as an enemy. It also says that ,'the soul that sinneth it shall surely die', and as 'all have sinned and come short of the glory of God', then all will die. Yet the believer has the hope of resurrection life, so God speaks of Him as 'sleeping'...

Hello @brian100, I believe that though I will die, yet I will live in resurrection life. (John 11:25) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Earburner This is not a serious request is it? You are merely making a point I think. :) Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Joseph77, Question 1:- Who does Jesus say does or did sleep? (1 Corinthians 15:51) Paul is talking in terms of 'we', therefore including himself with those to whom he wrote. The words of Peter in Acts 3:19-21 were awaiting a response from Israel as a nation to repent: had they done so...

This thread was derailed on the 8th or 9th page. Since then it has degenerated, so that the object of it's subject heading has been completely obliterated. Why could not each change of subject have been dealt with in a separate thread of it's own, instead of coming to this insubstantial...

Hello @Josho, I believe that Almighty God can do anything. However it is the gospel of Christ that is the power of God unto salvation. That is all we are called upon to proclaim. In Christ Jesus Chris

'A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.' (John 13:34-35) Hello @Josho, If there is doubt or questioning (ie., scepticism) within...

'This then is the message which we (John & the twelve) have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we (believers) say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as He is...

'For in that He (the Lord Jesus Christ) died, .. He died unto sin once: .... but in that He liveth, ...... He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body...

Hello @CharismaticLady, * In answer to your first question is found in 1 John 1:6-8:- 'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' * In 1 John 2:1 we are told:- 'My little children, these things write I unto you...

Hello @CharismaticLady, I now realise that I did not answer your second question (highlighted above). * The answer to that question I believe is to be found in 1 John 1:6-8:- 'If we say that we have fellowship with Him, .. and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk...

Hello @CharismaticLady That is not the issue though is it? The quality of God's grace is. I think Paul answered your first question in Romans 6:1-7 'What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer...

Hello @bbyrd009, Are you saying that those words of mine comprise a factoid? Oh! Then perhaps you can explain it to me. :) Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

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.'...

Hi @bbyrd009, You are so much cleverer than I, for I don't know what factoids are I'm afraid. o_O Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris :)
