'But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.' (Hebrews 11:6) Hello @Not me. Reading your opening sentence, in which you ask if there is any way to be absolutely positive that...

Hello @CoreIssue, Thank you for responding, but though the Holy Spirit is just one explanations of 'who' or 'what' restrains the man of sin, it is not the correct one, for there is no scriptural support for it. I believe the explanation I have given in the post you have addressed (#493) is the...

Hi @101G, I hope you will post as and when you feel you want to. :) Thank you. In Christ Jesus, Chris

Hello there, Please stop arguing about this, it has been done so many times, and what matters is God. That He has spoken. It is the Word of God itself which has used the words, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to describe the several manifestations of God, in the accomplishing of His purpose, so...

Hello there, Forgive me if I gave that impression, for it was certainly not what I intended. In Christ Jesus Chris

'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. In Him was life; .. and the life was the light of men.' (John 1:1-4)...

Hello @CNKW3, Thank you for responding to the OP. Yes the Apostles were promised the Holy Spirit in John 14:16-17:- 'And I will pray the Father, .. and He shall give you another Comforter, .... that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; .. whom the world cannot receive...

'God, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, Whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; (Heb 1:1-2) Hello there, I am in the process of studying the...

Hello @Nancy, I can empathise with this: for I had to learn the lesson too, that we dare not look within to our feelings to find evidence of salvation there, or without to the lives of others to compare ourselves and our experiences with theirs; only keep our eyes stayed upon Him, and upon the...

'That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' (Colossians 2:2) Hello...

'These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.' (John 16:33) Yes, @farouk, thank you.

Hello @CoreIssue, I listen to the news and see what is happening in the world around me, and I see the conditions mirroring the prophecies of Scripture concerning the times which will mark the end of this dispensation. I see the installation of 5G and the advances in technology surrounding...

'But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.' (1 Samuel 16:7) Praise God! In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @CoreIssue, No, no wonder at all! How relevant are the words of Paul to Timothy:- 'I charge thee therefore before God, .. and the Lord Jesus Christ, ... Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the word; .. be instant in season, out of season...

You are a dear man, @farouk, - Yes, the piercing of the ear in bond-service was a positive sign of the regard of the servant for his master. - Yes, I have voted. * I have Harry Nielson playing in the background as I type, the sun is shining, all of the 'granny's bonnets' in the garden are...

Hi @farouk That is lovely to hear. I love Ephesians. When I read and understood the completeness of the work of Christ on our behalf, of the acceptance of God of such as myself in His Beloved Son; that He sees me to be 'holy and without blame' before Him, because of what Christ has done, it...

Hello @CoreIssue, I don't understand. Am I to take this personally, that you think that my belief is irrelevant? Or is this a view that 'covenant theology policing Calvinism' has engendered? In Christ Jesus Chris

'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.' (Ephesians 2:8-10) Hello...
