'And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those...

Hello there, @101G & @Enoch111, 'In the beginning was the Word, .. and the Word was with God, .... and the Word was God. ...... The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; .. and without Him .... was not any thing made ...... that was made.' (John 1:1-3) 'Thus...

Hello @Davy, It is a shame that you feel the necessity to resort to accusation and insult, for it is not necessary; it merely widens the breach between one brother and another; when if you got alongside and discussed these things rationally it would be possible to find mutual understanding and...

Hello @Enoch111, Yes, wonderfully, Stephen, like His Lord before him, made the same commitment of His spirit to God the Father. Then he died. as his Lord had died: but His Lord was raised to life on the third day. We are not told this of Stephen. So He still awaits the resurrection. For it...

Hello @Naomi25, Reading the epistles written during that period, time and again the expectation is expressed for the imminent return of Christ. For Peter had told them in Acts 3, that if Israel repented Christ would return. I see what you mean when you say, 'Had to be, rather than, it could...

Hello @cgneustar, There is a heavenly hope as well as one which is upon the earth. The blessings of the Church which is the Body of Christ will be enjoyed far above all heavens where Christ now sits at God's right hand. This is the hope expressed in Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians. In...

Hello @Enoch111, With respect, no I do not believe it is true. All are awaiting the resurrection out from among the dead, otherwise it makes the necessity of resurrection a nonsense. Believers who die in the Lord, are reckoned by God to be 'asleep' in Him. They close their eyes in death, and...

Hello @justbyfaith, You have misquoted this Scripture, as so many do: but, again, it requires resurrection for it's fulfilment, or the return of Christ Himself at that time. Instead of jumping in with a response, you should really read and consider what you are saying. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @justbyfaith, Wonderful words! Praise God! However this requires the resurrection from the dead for fulfillment. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @cgneustar, I agree that man does not go to either the traditionally held view of hell or to heaven at death, for the breath of life (or spirit) goes back to God Who gave it, and man is no longer a living soul. It requires the power of the resurrection to raise him from the dead. I have...

Hello @Preacher4Truth, Thank you for your response. May the Lord give grace and love, and may His perfect will be done in each one of us, for His name and glory's sake. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @justbyfaith, 'And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (hades) delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell (hades) were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.' (Revelation...

Hello @101G. I have not been able to reply to this post, and even now I am not in a position to do so. However, I thank you for it. I can see various points I would like to discuss with you. I will come back to it, (God willing) a.s.a.p. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello, dear person, (@justbyfaith) With love in my heart, I tell you that it is because I have studied the subject in depth. Looking up every verse in Scripture where the word 'Hell' is mentioned, considering the context in which it comes, in the light of the original meaning of the middle...

@justbyfaith @Davy @Taken Thank you for your responses. To @Davy and @justbyfaith, who expressed disagreement. Thank you both, but I stand by what I said in my entries. I have no desire to pursue this further. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,' (1Peter 1:1) Hello @CNKW3, These are believing Jews, dispersed among the nations. See 1 Peter 2:9-12:- 'But ye are a chosen generation, .. a royal priesthood, ...

'This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.' (Psalm 118:24) * Good Morning! @Taken. [I have sung this verse as part of a hymn, and quoted it, but today, looking at it in it's context, the 'day' is specifically when, 'the stone which the builder's refused is...
