'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 @Candidus, What Paul...

Hello @mailmandan, Oh boy! Am I glad that we have God's Word written, and so do not have to be reliant on the interpretations of others! Thank you for sharing these opinions, I am glad that you do not share them. Regarding Peter's denial of the Lord, the circumstances of it cannot help but...

Hello @Candidus, Your opening sentence intrigued me, and caused me to stop and consider. I have found that there are five 'faithful' (true) sayings in Paul's epistles, which just states that what Paul has said either previously or following is true and faithful:- 'It is a faithful saying...

@theophilus @quietthinker @marks @Enoch111 Hello there, Thank you all for your input on this subject. Looking through your responses, my mind went to the difference between the two resurrections mentioned in Revelation 20:4-6, which gives an example of two very different resurrections because...

@Nancy @VictoryinJesus @mjrhealth @Candidus @mailmandan @quietthinker @DPMartin Hello there, Coming on the forum, and seeing all your responses, I am struck by the different perspectives you have brought to this subject. I would like to respond to each one individually, and will (God Willing)...

@Earburner @GerhardEbersoehn & all who have entered in this thread. Hello there, I want to thank you for your responses, and apologise for not replying. Especially to Earburner, because he has entered several replies which I have not been able to address. My silence does not indicate...

Yes, Earburner, I too like your avatar, for the butterfly is such a picture of the transformation that takes place in the life of the believer when he is born from above.

'For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.' (1 Corinthians 15:22-23) Hello @GerhardEbersoehn, Thank you so much for this further explanation. I am sorry it was...

Hi @Nancy, Ha! :) Yes! I am thankful for the various means we have at our disposal to refer to on these things. No believer would ever verbally deny the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ: but she may be ashamed of Him, in the way she lives and the things she does; by remaining silent...

'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 there, I just...

'And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, .. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, .... and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: ...... Who shall be punished with everlasting...

'These all died in faith, .. not having received the promises, .... but having seen them afar off, ...... and were persuaded of them, ........ and embraced them, ........... and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that...

'Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ... ' (Hebrews 11:35) Hello @theophilus Thank you for taking the time to respond to the OP. I do not believe that the different versions differ in...

Hello @Earburner, I am sorry, but yet again, as with GerhardEbersoehn, I have to ask you to please explain further. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @GerhardEbersoehn, I'm sorry, I don't understand. Would you please explain what you mean a little more. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Thank you, @GerhardEbersoehn, You have given these verses at my request, in defence of your belief that there will be just one resurrection:- John 5:28,29 - 'all who are in there graves' - 'they that have done good', and, 'they that have done evil'. Acts 24:14 - 'a resurrection both of the...

'Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ... ' (Hebrews 11:35) Hello there, In this glorious chapter in Hebrews, which gives examples to us of those who lived by faith during Old...

@GerhardEbersoehn @mjrhealth Hello there, With respect, there is only One Who can make righteous judgements concerning the heart of man, and that is God Himself, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Only He knows who has an 'unteachable spirit', and can in His mercy alter that. Thank you In Christ...

Hello @Davy, I do not doubt that there will be a resurrection of the dead as described in John 5:28-29. 'Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life...

Hello @GerhardEbersoehn, So, you believe that there will be just one resurrection of the dead, which includes both those who have been saved by God's grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and those who are unsaved? Believer and unbeliever? Am I right? If so, perhaps you would kindly...
