Hello Enoch111, Even then, would you not agree, that it is the usage to which the Holy Spirit has put the words under consideration that must have the final word. For concordant definitions are also fallible. Only by comparing Scripture with Scripture can a true understanding of any word used...

Hello @justbyfaith, Yes, nations consist of a large grouping of individuals, but it is the nation itself which will be judged at that time, not the individual living members within it. However the doctrine concerning hell and eternal conscious punishment is what has been preached for...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew 13:- (41) The Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; (42) And shall cast them into a furnace of...

Hello @Enoch111, Thank you for replying to my post. This morning I read again, as a prayer, the prayers of Paul for the Ephesians, in which he prays for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge (or acknowledgement) of Him (God in Christ). We cannot hope to have this knowledge...

Hello @Harvest 1874, I find we are in agreement about Hell, the immortality of the soul and the state of the dead. You expressed it very well. I thank God that He gave me the desire to investigate these matters through personal Bible Study, with the knowledge that the middle English word for...

Hello @Enoch111, I agree that what was hidden in ages past was not the gospel, for God made it known through the prophets of the Old Testament, who wrote it down. Though they did not understand it, as we are told in 1 Peter 1:10-12:- 'Of which salvation the prophets have enquired .. and...

Hello @Taken, I'm sorry if my response was disappointing. I thought that the verse I quoted said all that needed to be said. For God made man from the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. That is what I believe the soul to be. At...

'Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him .. endured the cross, .... despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.' (Heb 12:2) Hello @bbyrd009, To, 'Stay in the race', requires that we faithfully...

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...

'And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.' (Gen 2:7)

Hello @Davy, If that is true, that I shall say, Praise God for the Jew! The soul is the whole man: 'The soul that sinneth it shall die' (Ezek.18:4 & 20). The 'spirits in prison' of 1 Peter 3:20, were not human beings, but angels, the angels that sinned in the days of Noah. It has nothing to do...

Hello @Nancy, 'For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power: (Colossians 2:9-10) The word 'complete' in this verse has the meaning of having been made perfect in Him. How wonderful this is, isn't it? I...

Hello @Soverign Grace, That is a big ask, and one which I believe to be beyond my capablities. God knows each and every one and that is enough for me. I would not even know how to begin. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit ... ... ' (Ephesians 3:4-5) Hello @Davy, Your criticism of Doug, and of...

Hello again, @Naomi25, Yes, Paul went to the Synagogue in every place he visited, because Israel was itself 'first' in priority in the purpose of God, for it was His purpose that Israel should carry out their divinely appointed priestly duty and minister to the nations. The only reason that...

Hello again, @Noami, I agree that the judgment that comes at Christ's return is what is in view. AD70 had the 'potential' to be part of that judgment had Israel repented, which would have resulted in Christ returning as Peter declared in Acts 3:19-20. * James, who addressed his epistle to the...

Hi @Naomi25, An Acts 28 dispensationalist is one who believes that this present dispensation began when the Jews of the dispersion, like the Jews of the land before them, finally rejected the Word of the ministry of the twelve and of Paul, concerning the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ...

Hello @Phoneman777, Regardless of the similarity in comparison: where God has distinguished something by giving it a name, 'The Everlasting Gospel', as distinct from 'The Gospel of the Kingdom' & 'The Gospel of the Grace of God', for example; and announcing it with specific wording, at a...

With respect, @Phoneman777, there is more than one, 'good news', made known in Scripture. The one you quote from Revelation 14:6 is not simply, 'For God so loved the world' either, as the following verse will show:- 'Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and...

'Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. (1Corinthians 12:27) Hello @Doug, This does not negate what I told you. For this, taken in it's context, is not a description of the Church which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all, of which Christ is the Head...
