Hello @Dan, This is so clear, I do thank you for it. The parable of the sower came into my mind too, when I spoke of the seed sown in my entry prior to yours, and you had the same thought, obviously, and have taken it up and expounded it so beautifully: bringing out aspects which I would not...

Hello @RogerDC, I understand what you are saying, and I appreciate why: but I believe that if someone is born from above by the Spirit of God, on the basis of the sacrificial work of Christ, then he is 'sealed' until the day of redemption. For the whole process of salvation is God's...

Hello @marksman, But is it not true that the man who went to that tribe had his own copy of the word of God with Him, and he himself must have had the word of God dwelling in him richly, so that he was able to minister the gospel of the grace of God to them, by the Holy Spirit. It was the word...

'But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received...

Hello Anthony, Thank you for your response in reply#45, I agree with what you have said within it concerning the Word of God. Romans 1:18-32 gives a graphic description of man's condition doesn't it? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Doug, The revelation of God made to Paul concerning the church which is the Body of Christ, was not given until Paul was 'A Prisoner of Jesus Christ' (Ephesians 3:1) at the end of the Acts period. It did not come into being until Israel was laid aside (temporarily) in unbelief at Acts...

Hello @Heart2Soul, I differ from you in regard to what the seven spirits of God are. They are referred to, in Revelation 3:1, Revelation 4:5; and Revelation 5:6. * In 3:1, ' ... These things saith He that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars ... ' (see 1:4). The Holy Spirit, as...

Hello @Heart2Soul, I differ from you in regard to what the seven spirits of God are. They are referred to, as you have mentioned already, in Revelation 3:1, Revelation 4:5; and Revelation 5:6. * In 3:1, ' ... These things saith He that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars ... '...

'The heavens declare the glory of God; .. and the firmament sheweth His handywork. .... Day unto day uttereth speech, ...... and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. .. Their line is gone out through all the earth, .... and their...

Hi @Episkopos, These are seven qualities of the one Spirit of God. In Christ Jesus Chris

'John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne; ... ' (Rev 1:4) Thank you,@ Stunnedbygrace, :)

Where did you get the term 'seven-fold spirit' from, @stunnedbygrace? By the way I am perfectly calm :)

Hello @stunnedbygrace, These are not 'spirits' in (2 Peter 1:5-6) though are they, but graces, which we are encouraged to add to our faith. 'For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.' (2...

Hello @amadeus, Thank you for referring to Isaiah 11:1-2: what a lovely portion of Scripture this is:- And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of His roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, .. the spirit of wisdom and understanding...

Hello @stunnedbygrace, Where in Scripture do you find this? I know of the seven-fold unity of the Spirit in Ephesians (4), and of the seven spirits of God which are before His throne (Revelation 3:1; Revelation 4:5; Revelation 5:6) , but not of a seven fold Spirit. In Christ Jesus Chris

'For ye see your calling, brethren, .. how that not many wise men after the flesh, .... not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; .. and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are...

In whom (Christ) ye also trusted, .. after that ye heard the word of truth, .... the gospel of your salvation: in whom (Christ) 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...

Hello @marks, If the Scriptures are the sum total of God's revelation, and you believe that to be true. Then why are you even contemplating hearing the words of those who profess to have further prophecy? In Christ Jesus Chris

'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...

'And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.' (Ephesians 4:30) Hello @Candidus, Yes, it is possible for us to grieve the holy Spirit of God, whereby we are sealed unto the day of redemption: but that does not result in a loss of salvation. For we...
