Hello @marks, It is so good to see the manner of approach that you are using to get alongside Episkopos. To prevent any misunderstanding, and establish a basis of mutual understanding, in order to discuss the issues being raised. You speak of our identification with Christ in His death and...

Fear God or Presume acceptance? 'Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect...

Hello again, I would like to look at the events surrounding the references made to Isaiah 6:9-10 by the Lord Himself, and by Paul, to see it's significance in each case, starting with Matthew 13:14:- * The disciples had enquired of the Lord, why He had begun speaking to the people in parables...

‘And He said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and...

Hello @icxn, If you referred to this online, would you please supply the link, for when I have looked at the Septuagint online in more than one location, this is not what I have found, but Job 17:8-9 has been translated in this way:- 8 Wonder has seized true men upon this; and let the just...

Hello there, @marks, I have been searching the forum to find an entry in which you made mention to me recently of 'the times of the Gentiles', and I can't find it, so I will place my response here. I hope it is appropriate, Gentile dominion is co-extensive and co-terminative with 'the treading...

Hello @Not me I believe that the words of the book of Revelation refer to what will happen in 'the Lord's day' (Revelation 1:9), or 'the day of the Lord' (Isaiah 2:11) when God judges, referred to elsewhere in Scripture: in contrast with man's day (1 Corinthians 4:3); in which we now live, when...

Hello @stunnedbygrace, Is this addressed to me? Those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, are warned about several things, but never given cause to believe that they will ever lose their salvation. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Episkopos and @stunnedbygrace, I believe your comments regarding @Not me and the words of his OP is unjust. I also believe that your application of Revelation 3:1, Episkopos to believers of this present day is not correct. For there is no way that those who are made one with Christ...

'I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth.' (Revelation 3:15) Hello @Not me, This was written to the remnant of Jews of Laodicea in that future day. The...

Hi @stunnedbygrace, 'Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.' (Hebrews 12:11) Praise God! In Christ Jesus Chris

'Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.' (Revelation 2:5) Hello @Not me, I enjoyed reading the application you made of Revelation 2:5...
