Hello @Deborah, I enjoyed your study, but in regard to the reference to David above, I don't believe that what David did in 1 Samuel 19:23-24 can be likened to the term 'being slain in the Spirit'. I don't know where that term originates, or even if those manifestations can be attributed the...

Hello again @marks, I think of John 4:23-24:- 'But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.' (John 4:23) 'God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and...

Hello @marks, Thank you for including me in the list. :) 'Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come before Him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.' (1 Chronicles 16:29) 'And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the...

Hello @Doug, Excellent study re. Cornelius. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello again, It is important that we have a true conception of what 'death' is being referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:53-55. For as can be seen by some of the responses within this thread, there is differing understanding concerning what it is. Yet the words of 1 Corinthians 15:21 leaves us in...

Hello James Forthwright, I hope that your, 'What if,' scenario is not an expression of what you truly believe!? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello again, The moment when death is swallowed up in victory, could not be stated more clearly than it is in 1 Corinthians 15:53-55:- 'For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this...

'For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, .. when we made known unto you .... the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, ...... but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, .. when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent...

Hello once again, @marks Staying with the Transfiguration for one more time, can I just quote something that I read concerning what Peter says in 2 Peter 1:16:- 'Peter says, by Divine inspiration, that, when he made known to them the Transfiguration he had not followed cleverly-imagined myths...

Matthew 17:1-9; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36; 2 Peter 1:16-21 'And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision (G3705) to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.' (Mat 17:9) Hello @marks, Though I do still believe that this was a...

Hi @marks Yes, it was happening at that time, before their eyes, but it was a vision. They did see Moses and Elijah talking to the Lord, but it was the fulfilment of what the Lord had told them six days before (Matthew 16:27-28). That they should see His glory, the glory of the Son of Man...

Hello @marks, I thought it seemed out of character, that is why it has been such a shock to see you doing it. Within the love of Christ our Saviour. our Lord and Head. Chris

'And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.' (Mat 17:9) Hello @marks, I have said no such thing! You really disappoint me, marks, for I thought that you, who dislike being...

Hello @brionne What a lovely user name. :) Yes it is descriptive of the change that will take place in the bodies of both those who will be 'asleep in Christ' at that time, and those who are 'alive and remain' unto the Lord's coming. Though I believe it will be the experience of all who...

'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?' (Psa 30:9) Hello @marks, Your last sentence expresses what I feared would be the argument made by those who believe that the spirit goes on after death living and...

Hi @Mark, The point being made initially in relation to Revelation 6:9-10, was that the word 'soul' was being used figuratively of 'persons'. That these persons were dead, having been beheaded, makes their ability to speak impossible. So what John sees, in vision, is the personification of...

Hello @Helen, Does this mean that you do not believe in the necessity for a literal resurrection? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Stan B But it was living, that is the point being made. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

'And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on...

Hello @marks Yes, I understood your reasoning. Thank you for explaining though. In Christ Jesus Chris
