Hello @shnarkle, I did understand your question. However, I responded as I felt I should in the light of the context of the verse you quoted. As for me, I don't know what I would do in those circumstances :) except cast myself upon God's mercy. Yet, if I could have it in me to do that, I...

Hi @shnarkle, My thoughts go to Paul's testimony in 1 Timothy 1:12-17:- 'And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, .. Who hath enabled me, .... for that He counted me faithful, ...... putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, .. and a persecutor, .... and injurious: but I...

'Hath not the potter power over the clay, .. of the same lump .... to make one vessel unto honour, ...... and another unto dishonour? What if God, .. willing to shew His wrath, .... and to make His power known, ...... endured with much longsuffering ........ the vessels of wrath fitted to...

Hello @ScottA, I stand by the content of my post #36 In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @ScottA, * You have posed me four question in your entry (above) which I will endeavour to answer:- 1) Let's start with God's words, spoken by Peter at Pentecost, which made the return of Christ conditional on the repentance and conversion of Israel, in Acts 3:19-21:- 'Repent ye...

Hello again, @soul man May you be blessed:- 'He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, .. that He might fill all things.) And He gave some, apostles; .. and some, prophets; .... and some, evangelists; ...... and some, pastors ........ and teachers; For the...

'Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.' (Philippians 3:15) Hello @soul man, Interesting entry there. :) To know what Paul was referring to when he said these words, I looked back to what had...

Sorry to have caused consternation. Thank you for your kind messages. I have decided I must stay. xx

Hello @ScottA. * In order for that to be true it would be necessary to deny the greater part of the Word of God. * Your reasoning is not sound, it does not measure up to God's yardstick, which is His Word written. * The believer has been sealed by the Holy Spirit, when born from above...

Hello @firsthings1st, I have only now returned, and, reading through this last page of the thread I found your post: I find that I can't leave the forum, for I have no peace about it, so I will be here. Forgive me for any consternation I may have caused. Thank you for your kindness, In Christ...

- Hello @Nancy, Your reply just breaks my heart: and I think of the words of a song by Jodie Mitchel, 'What have they done to my song, Ma! What have they done to my song'!! What is being done to God's Word? What is being done to the gospel of the grace of God? What is being done to the good...

Hello @Episkopos I can see that you believe that the best line of defence is attack. :) May the Lord give you understanding, for His Name and glory's sake. In Christ Jesus Chirs

'Christ Jesus our Lord: - In Whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him.' (Eph 3:11b-12) Hello @Episkopos, By the time I responded to your post, you had received many likes, and several responses, from people who were sharing their experiences of communion with God, in...

Hello @Episkopos, I have had the joy of a living relationship with my Saviour since 1960, so your words have no bearing. What I also have is experience of you, and of what you have to say, and so I do not retract the warning. In Christ Jesus Chris

* This communication of @Episkopos, makes me feel the need to sound out a warning: for Satan masquerades as an angel of light, and seeks to deceive the unwary. * I take no pleasure in saying this, but I see the 'likes' this has received, and the responses made; and realise the potential for...

Hello again, I thank all who have given their understanding of this subject. As for me? I am reading through the relevant scriptures, but do not see me having anything to contribute, beyond what is written there, for I will not conjecture. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @amadeus, My use of the word, 'spiritualizing' was simply to understand your reasoning. :) It was not intended to demean your stance, but to see where you were coming from. I believe that prophecy will be fulfilled in it's entirety, in the way described. However, as you say, the...

Hi @Hidden In Him, No offence caused. :) In Christ Jesus Chris
