Hello @Joseph77, Yes, praise God! We can enjoy the joy of the presence of God now, on a daily basis, in union with The Father and the Son, by the Spirit: and yes, in God's eyes we have died with Christ, been buried, quickened and raised with Christ, and are seated in Him, at God's right hand...

Hello @Joseph77, I am glad that you have that wondrous hope. However it is still ours only spiritually now: it has yet to be fulfilled in actual fact; and that requires the resurrection. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Josheph77, Yes, for the believer death is indeed swallowed up in victory: but it is ours by promise now; and requires the resurrection for it's fulfilment. It is true that we are alive unto God now, spiritually, too: but only in resurrection will we have the joy of standing in His...

Hello @Earburner, Thank you for replying, I see that you are responding to my second question (reply#611):- 'Regarding the gift of eternal life though: it is ours by promise (1 John 2:25, 1 John 5:11-12); it does not become ours, 'in fact,' until the resurrection, does it?' * You refer to John...

Hello @Candidus, 'But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not...

@Earburner @GerhardEbersoehn Hello there, Is this still concerning the 1000 year reign of the Overcomer with Christ, which is called the millennium? Surely there is sufficient Scriptural evidence for that period of time, if not for the word used to describe it? (Revelation 20) Regarding the...

Hello @Candidus, If I were guilty of what you say in your first paragraph that would be serious indeed. I am sorry that you think so. I have not swept either Jude 1:21, or Hebrews 3:12 away: and Romans 6:23 tells us that eternal life is a gift of God received through Jesus Christ our Lord...

'In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of...

Hello @Candidus, I am not aware of having proposed anything of a philosophical nature, and certainly not said anything that is not Biblical: but simply responded to your entry reply#7. I do not deny anything that Paul has written to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:11-13, or presumed anything in regard...

Hello @marks, Forgive me, but what passage and why the appeal? Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello Helen, Thank you for coming back to me on this. Yes, Adam was of the earth, not spiritual but natural. That was how he was made though wasn't it (1 Corinthians 47-49) ? That was not as a result of the fall? God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and Adam became a living...

Hello @VictoryinJesus Thank you for coming back to me on this. Yes, the mystery of Christ was the subject of the Old Testament, the gospels, the early epistles of Paul, and the general epistles, for that was not 'Hid in God' since the world began: but 'The Mystery' concerning the church which...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, I am 'set' as you say, in regard to the fact that the parables have no application to the church within this present dispensation. Yes, application can be justifiably made in regard to the reception of the truth of the gospel, as in the parable of the sower that you have...

Hi Helen, Yes, it is used in that way too, (figuratively) I agree: of the faithful witnesses spoken of in Hebrews 11, who had been faithful unto death; but whose witness remained as a spur for those Hebrew believers who then lived, to do as they had done, and run the race set before them...

Hello @Waiting on him, That the Gentiles should be, 'fellowheirs' with their Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ, as equals: which was not the case during the period covered by the Acts of the Apostles; for during that time Israel was always first, having a prior position; as salvation...

'Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:' (Heb 11:35) Hello @brionne, Thank you for this response. Yes, I had that thought too: and acknowledge that those resurrections that you...

'For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall...

@mjrhealth @VictoryinJesus Hello there, You have both followed on from the entry by @quietthinker, and referred to the parables, when the OP discusses the words of Paul to Timothy, regarding the members of the church which is the Body of Christ, the mystery made known to Paul by revelation of...

'It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: If we suffer (or endure), we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us: If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself.' (2 Timothy 2:11-13) Hello @quietthinker, I find...

Hello @DPMartin, Yes, we have, by God's reckoning died with Christ, and have been risen with Christ, so that we can life in newness of life before the Father, as He now is. Having been justified by faith we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ died...
