'The fool hath said in his heart, "There is no God".... ' (Psalms 53:1a/Psalms 53:1) 'Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and His redeemer the LORD of hosts; "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God."' (Isaiah 44:6)

@liafailrock, @VictoryinJesus Thank you both for your entries. I have only read them through, not properly considered them, so I won't respond beyond my thanks for taking the time and effort to enter as you have, until I have done so. I am inclined to get caught up in the excitement of...

Hello there, With respect, the Word of God is the only source of intelligence that I trust regarding what the Lord Jesus Christ spoke concerning any subject. It is not sufficient to say that the Lord told you to tell me what you have, for respectfully, anyone can make that claim. The fact...

Thank you @DaiCounStaae, :) Forgive me if I do not say more in response to your entry, for it is now 4.00 am here in the UK, and I am going back to bed. In Christ Jesus Chris

'I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away His people which He foreknew. ... ' (Romans 11:1-2a) Hello again, Thinking of Paul in terms of 'inheritance', I thought of His words, in...

Hello @gumpy, I am sorry you have experienced harassment elsewhere, and hope your experience here will be only one of kindness. Reading Psalm 109 tonight, has reinforced my belief that our response toward one another must always be one of love, even when we do not necessarily agree with one...

Re: replies #670 & 671 Hello @Taken, I must let the Lord be the arbiter in regard to the content of these two replies you have made in response to my post: but I thank you for trying to explain what has led you to believe as you do. Even if I cannot share your conclusions. In regard to Luke...

'And as they thus spake, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you." But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And He said unto them, "Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Your thinking on this is new to me, and I cannot yet say that I fully understand, but I do thank you for your response. The Scriptures you have quoted have been a blessing and your understanding of it revealing. I will be considering this again, and prayerfully taking...

I am humbled by your response @amadeus, and praise God for the grace you have shown. No apology is needed, but I do thank you for your response. At 71, I understand your feelings about friends and family and the increasing realisation that all that ultimately matters is Christ and the hope...

Hello @Enoch111, You have the Word of God concerning the New Jerusalem, as I have, and of those who will inhabit it. It is not for me to argue this point with you. for you, like myself are in God's hands. The same applies to the state of the dead, and the resurrection, which we appear to...

With respect, @amadeus, I presume nothing. I simply expect someone who is a confessed believer in the Lord Jesus Christ to have a knowledge of His Word and to believe it. Yes, a believer can lose His love of the truth and grow cold spiritually, but that does not negate the promises of God...

Hello @Enoch111, Are you sure that is the testimony of Scripture? Look at the description of both that which is to be enjoyed in the New Jerusalem which will come down out of heaven to the new earth, and that spoken of in Ephesians chapter one, which is to be enjoyed in Heavenly Places in...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, You have brought a new viewpoint to be considered. * Whoa! If our blessing is in proportion and character to that which we have sown, how careful we should all be to sow what is good!!! Yes? :) * So, you equate 'inheritance' as 'reward', to be enjoyed in resurrection...

Hello @Enoch111, Surely that inheritance described as being the lot of Abraham and those of like precious faith listed in Hebrews 11, is quite different from that described as applying to the Church of the One Body in Ephesians chapter one. It cannot therefore be the same sphere of blessing...

'In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who worketh all things after the counsel of His Own will: That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth...

That has no application though,@ amadeus, does it? Not according to God's reckoning. For in His estimation we have died with Christ, been buried, quickened, raised and ascended with Him to God's right hand, where we await His appearing: when we shall appear with Him in glory; for death has no...

'For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the...

@Enoch111 @ScottA @amadeus @"ByGrace" Thank you for your input. My thoughts still have to be formulated, so I cannot comment at the moment, but the pot is on the stove, and the ingredients have been added, all I need is to cook for the time appointed, then it will be ready to serve. :) (God...

Hello there, The subject of 'Inheritance' has been occupying my mind for several days now, e.g., the fact that though Abraham and his offspring were to inherit the land promised, Abraham subsequently had quite a different hope in view. This is just one of the trains of thought associated with...
