I agree, I think it is one of the hardest of the epistles to understand. A book that I have found really helpful, is to be found for free download at:- https://www.bibleunderstanding.com/Just,%20and%20the%20Justifier-Mr.C.H.Welch.pdf In Christ Jesus Chris

No, @farouk, Contemplation of the things of God, and hard rock just don't go together for me. :)

There is one song (with it's video) which brings home to me strongly the fact that God has spoken but man is not listening.

Ha! Yes, I believe so. :)

Thank you, @Hidden In Him, Though I must disagree: for in this epistle Israel as well as Gentile, both in their sin and their salvation, are placed in their true relation to the purpose of God. The church at Rome containing a fairly even mix of Jewish and Gentile believers, it was necessary to...

'For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, Who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.' (1Timothy 4:10) Hello @shnarkle, It is a long time since we had opportunity to talk on a thread. Yet I fear this is way over my head. o_O...

Hello there, I agree with all that is written in the OP. Thank you for inc Hello @Enoch111, I agree with all that is written in the OP: and thank you for bringing it to our attention. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: If we suffer (endure), we shall also reign with Him: if we deny him, he...

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, .. that they may also obtain .... the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying: .. For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: .... If we suffer (or 'endure' - v.9), we shall also reign with...

Hello there, @Hidden In Him, As you have said, there are two illustrations given in Romans 6:16 -7:6, the one of 'Master' and the other of 'Husband', marked by the words, 'Know ye not?' In verses 6:16 and 7:1. The first one is spoken especially to the Gentiles among Paul's hearers, who had...

Hello @Hidden In Him, Having read through your interpretation of Romans 6:15-23, I find myself in disagreement with you. In the opening section of Romans 6, we have been shown that sanctification operates within a new sphere - in 'newness of life' in Christ, and presupposes justification as...

Hello @Hidden In Him, I have printed off the posts you have mentioned (#37, #47, #65), and will come back to you concerning them asap. In Christ Jesus Chris

------------------------- * This a continuation of the Apostles argument that we are not, 'in sin', because we died with Christ. In 6:1-11, we are shown our identification with Christ in His death and in His life. - 6:1-3 = Death to SIN cannot entail life in SINS - 6:4-7 = By identification...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Praise God! That God's strength will indeed be made perfect in your weakness, and that the comfort wherewith you yourself have been comforted will be a source of strength to those suffering in like manner. Praise His Holy Name! In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @LWK, I don't go to Church. It is not something that sits well with me, but I have my reasons. I have not been part of a Christian community for many years now. I study alone, but God has never left me to walk alone, I usually have one person to walk with me, that I can share the...

I love your smile, Nancy, such a generous, warm hearted face. We are already blessed with ALL spiritual blessings, but I pray that your fellowship with God, in Christ Jesus, will bring you great joy, as you trust in Him. Within the love of Christ our Saviour. Chris

Hi @Nancy, I see what you are saying, it does seem like a form of declaration. I recently read a paper written by an American lady, whom I met many years ago on a forum. We were not always in agreement, mostly because of our different way of thinking: but I admired her dedication; her dogged...

'He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.' (Mark 16:16) Hello @Getitright, This thread asks a question, 'Is water baptism necessary for salvation?' Your response referred to Mark 16:16a. as a proof text that baptism was a necessary...

'And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." (Mark 9:24) Hello just one more time, @Episkopos, o_O The believer has all of these wonderful blessings already, for as you have said, the work of God in Christ is 'Finished'...
