'Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield...

'If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.' (1 John...

'Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the...

'For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be...

No, @farouk, It is never seen. It is on the back below a shoulder-blade, tucked away and forgotten. :)

'As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.' (Psalms 17:15) "Thank you," @brakelite Man does not have an immortal soul. So there can be no 'life' without resurrection. There is no power, apart from resurrection power, to raise...

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this...

@Harvest 1874, @firstthings1st. Hello there, With respect, I do not know you, nor do I know your influences, therefore I will let the Word of God be the arbiter on all that you say, or contribute. That is the way of safety. For something to be 'counterfeit', or to deceive, it has to be so...

Hello @Harvest 1874, With respect to you, if I had said that the Lord Jesus Christ was Michael the Archangel, then I would have something to prove: however I have not; so I have nothing to prove and there is therefore no necessity for Scriptural evidence to be provided. In Christ Jesus Chris

'For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of...

Hello @n2thelight. Thank you for responding. The Lord Jesus Christ did indeed die in our place, taking our sin upon Himself, thus paying it's penalty. Praise God! The JUST for the unjust. By believing God, and trusting in the sacrificial work of Christ on our behalf, the believer has indeed...

'Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers...

'Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire:' (Psalms 104:4 & Hebrews 1:7) * God also makes His angels 'spirits'. They are spoken of as such elsewhere in Scripture, e.g., 1 Peter 3:19. 'By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were...

'And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?' (Numbers 16:22 & see also Numbers 27:16) * God is the God of the spirits of all flesh. Praise God! In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello yet again, @n3thelight, We know that when God made man, He, breathed into His nostrils the 'breath of life' and man became a living soul: and that the, 'breath of life' is also termed, 'spirit'. Without the indwelling of 'spirit' or, 'breath of life', there would be no living soul. The...

'And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, "into Thy hands I commend My spirit: and having said thus, He gave up the ghost." (Luke 23:46) Hello again, @n2thelight, The Lord Jesus Christ is recorded as committing His 'spirit' into the hands of God the Father, Stephen also...

Hello @n2thelight, I have not read preceding entries, so if I am repeating what has gone before I apologise. Looking up the phrase, 'the spirit of man', in the concordance, in order to find the words of 1 Corinthians 2:11, I found the following verses which are interesting, when viewed within...

'Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. Mortify (or reckon as dead) therefore your members which are upon the earth...

Thank you, Enoch111, But I will stand by the content of my posts - #332, 333, 335 & 337 In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello once again, @Heart2Soul That these epistles to the seven assemblies are addressed to those who shall be on the earth during,' The Day of the Lord', may be seen by comparing many expressions contained in them with the actual scenes and circumstances described in various parts of the Book...
