Hello @Nancy, Yet, although stripped bare, nothing has been taken away. I am clothed, surrounded by the trappings of life, with relationships and love and care, but none the less I stand within the light of His presence as one stripped bare. With love. In Christ Jesus Chris

'The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' Hello there, I have read what others have written with interest. As for me, I just heard the Word of God concerning His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and believed it. I knew that I was a sinner, and needed a Saviour, and saw that God in His infinite...

'But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and...

Hello @Doug, With respect, the gospel that Paul preached during the period covered by the Acts of the Apostles, the subject of Romans, 1&2 Corinthians, 1&2 Thessalonians, Galatians and Hebrews, was not, 'hid in God': but was verifiable by the words of God made known through the Old Testament...

Hello @justbyfaith, The only record we have of words coming from the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ, either while here on earth, or from heaven, is that recorded in Scripture. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.' (Revelation...

Hi @farouk, Yes, God speaks to us, through His Word, and not apart from it. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @ScottA, You must think of me what you will. God knows my heart and He alone is my judge. You are wrong in your assessment. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @ScottA, I do not believe that I am contradicting myself. I also do not believe your use of the Old Testament example is a proof text for what you assert. Without the security of the bounds of the written Word, man lays himself open to the influence of 'spiritual wickedness' in the...

Hi @ScottA, I would not consider the written Word to be an 'iceburg', (cold, with more unseen below the surface than is visible above). If the Holy Spirit expounds upon it to the heart of the listening ear, it will always be a reflection of what is actually written, it will never go beyond it...

Who, indeed @farouk, I would not. Teresa May is a human being with faults and failings like the rest of us, but her strength of purpose and courage in the face of adversity cannot be doubted. She deserves the respect due to her as someone who has tried very hard to do what only history will...

Hello @ScottA, The Word of God is the sum of all revelation. It is the sword of the Spirit, He wields no other weapon. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, Teresa May, as with all other prime ministers before her, came into office with the very best of intentions I'm sure. It is easy to make comments and point the finger, but until we have worn her shoes for a while we are in no position to condemn her, or anyone else who genuinely...

Hello there, @stunnedbygrace, No, I don't think we have talked to each other before. It's good to hear you. 'And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, .. blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, .. and the moon into blood, .... before the...

Two Particular Problems With Dispensationalism Hello @Naomi25, I am a dispensationalist, an Acts 28 dispensationalist; however, I do not understand why these two 'problems' you have raised should be attributed to dispensationalism particularly. The two problems:- 1) The pouring out of God's...

* You must think what you like about that @Davy. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Davy, I can only judge by what you choose to make known, and what I see has led me to reach those conclusions. If you want to talk about Galatians 3 or Romans 4, then perhaps you should start a new thread. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Davy, You need to read Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians, for you obviously do not know what was revealed to Paul, otherwise you would not say that Peter received this knowledge. You are also denying what is said in Ephesians 3:9 and Colossians 1:26. 'Unto me, who am less than the...

Hello again, @Davy, I cannot speak for others, but I believe that the later epistles of Paul deal directly with this dispensation, yes, but all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable to us. I suggest that you stop misrepresenting what you obviously do not fully...

Hello @Davy, I suggest you go back and actually read what I have said; for you are totally misrepresenting me. In the light of that I have no intention of either paying attention to, or addressing your reply. In Christ Jesus Chris
