But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely...

Hello @Tong2020, I thank you for this further response. Yes, these Judaizers were indeed 'believers', I agree: but they manifest much the same zeal without knowledge expressed in Romans 10:1-4, and ignorance of the fact that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that...

Hello @DNB, When I read your reply, my unspoken thought was, "You lovely man!" For you have answered honestly, and with kindliness. This question of what we should expect to be manifested in us is something worth considering in another thread under that subject heading, I hope we can do that...

Hi @Not me, I am pleased to say that you have mistaken my meaning, for I did not say that it was God that had removed the Galatians from Him. No! For the words of Galatians 1:6 tell us, that they were removed from Him (the Father) that called them into the grace of Christ by those who sought...

Hello @DNB, What do you believe should be evident in the lives of believers who have received the indwelling new nature within which the Holy Spirit operates? How, for example, is it evidenced in your own life and witness? In Christ Jesus Chris

'I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: (Galatians 1:6) Hi @Not me, Another thought that came to me strongly while reading Galatians 1:6 was the fact that it was from God the Father that the Galatian believers were being...

Dear @Not me, Thank you so much for blessing me with your thoughts regarding these things. Within the love of Christ our Saviour, our Lord, and Head. Chris

Hello again, Reading the first chapter of Galatians, while sat in the shade of the garden this morning, I was in awe of the words I was reading. The first thing that caused me to halt and take notice, was in the very first verse, where Paul immediately presents himself to his listeners as one...

Hello @farouk, I agree: and believe that the same thing applies to concordance and dictionary definitions, and any work of man regarding the Word of God; for it is by comparing Scripture with Scripture, and observing the way that the Holy Spirit uses words, terms and phrases, within their...

Hello @DNB, I would like to comment on your words in the last paragraph, concerning the Holy Spirit. For I believe that those who have trusted in Christ, having heard and believed the word of truth, the gospel of salvation, are also in Him 'sealed' with that Holy Spirit of promise: which is...

Hello @Reggie Belafonte, Though the nation of Israel is at present in a Loammi state, 'Not My People', they will one day once more be called by God, 'My People', as prophesied in the Old Testament Scriptures (e.g., Hosea 1:10 & Hosea 2:23). In regard to the gospel, they are enemies for our...

https://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/NTpdf/gal6.pdf Hello @Mike Waters, With respect, these are all translations: as is the KJV from which Bible I took my reading; so I have looked up the original Greek which agrees with the KJV:- 'And as many as walk according to this rule, peace...

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule...

'Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, .. and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, .. in them that are saved, .... and in them that perish: ...... To the one we are the savour of death...

Hello @Tong2020, Thank you for responding. I am glad that you have understood my meaning. However, I do believe that in regard to the 'rule' recorded in Galatians 6:14-15 that a distinction on Paul's part was necessary. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Tong2020, Look at the verse, in it's context. Read exactly what it says, 'But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. .. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, ...

'But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace...

Hello @DNB, Thank you for expressing your thoughts. God's sovereignty and man's personal responsibility is a difficult area, and I am reluctant to express an opinion, because I could so easily present a bias one way or the other which could tip the balance of truth and wrongly represent it. In...

'Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.' (Romans 5:1) Hello @Episkopos, Was it self-righteous assumption on the part of Paul to...

Hello Enoch111, Yes, God in His foreknowledge knew all that would take place. Praise His Holy Name! Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris
