Hello there, - @Dave L, @marks, @farouk, @CoreIssue, @Enoch111, @prism, @GISMYS_7, @tzcho2, @Doug, and all others taking part in this thread. Not desiring to lose the subject of the thread. May I say that in relation to what has been said in the last few posts, concerning what was the...

The God of Abraham, .. and of Isaac, .... and of Jacob, ...... the God of our fathers, ........ hath glorified His Son Jesus; Whom ye delivered up, .. and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, .... when He was determined to let Him go. ...... But ye denied the Holy One and the Just...

'Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that...

Hello @marks, Have you noticed, that in scripture suffering and glory go hand in hand? Where you see the one, the other is within the context. I confess that I do not yet understand the meaning of 'glory', but I am seeking to know. Sanctification has the meaning also of being, 'set apart' unto...

Hello again, @Dave L, My experience of dispensational truth is through literature, and audio: the works of Dr E.W. Bullinger and Charles H. Welch, for example, being the source of much praise to God. However, as I have said previously, it is a means to an end, only. The knowledge of God, in...

Hello there, @Dave L That has not been my experience. The desire is to seek those divisions that exist within Scripture, which are of God's hand, not to impose divisions borne of human understanding. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Praise God!

Hi @Dave L. The division into 'Old' and 'New' are of man's contrivance though aren't they? For in terms of content, the 'New' follows on from the 'Old' quite naturally, being no division at all. I have been considering other, 'divisions', recently, in regard to the way that God has spoken...

Hello there, 'Pearl', I love your user name, for I think of 'the pearl of great price,' of Matthew 13:46. You are obviously a pearl of great price to God the Father, in Christ Jesus your Lord. As a seventy year old, I have a long retrospective view, having known the Lord Jesus Christ as my...

'Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.' (2 Timothy 2:15) Hello Dave L, That has not been my experience. I am an Acts 28 dispensationalist. However it is the principle of 2 Timothy 2:15, which has been the most...

Hello there, Dispensationalism - is a useful tool, but a means to an end only: - which is the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus. All forms of study must have that as it's goal and objective. That we may 'know Him', and be found, 'in Him'. 'Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss ...

Yes, indeed, @farouk. * Forgive me for straying away from the subject of the thread. * May we not fall into 'the way of Cain', but accept the sacrifice of God, in Christ Jesus, on our behalf, and not seek to come to God in any other way, but on the basis of His shed blood. May His Name be...

Hello @Butterfly, It was very powerful I thought. I just hope the powers that be take notice and get their act together in order to prevent a deterioration of the situation in Northern Ireland: for the sake of the people who live there, and for ourselves, as members of the 'United' Kingdom of...

@Butterfly, @Nancy, @"ByGrace", and all who have taken part. Hello there, Reading through these later conversational responses which have taken place in this thread, between members; it is so good to see good humoured, pleasant, loving expressions of interest, and comment designed to edify one...

Hi @aspen, A sanctuary for birds of prey - that must be interesting! :) To handle these creatures, and see them up close. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @aspen, I saw Nancy's response to you, and was intrigued, so came to find the entry of yours that she was responding to. I took note of the wording of Genesis 4:3, and it's context: but far from being nomadic, it would seem that Adam and his family were farming, keeping livestock and...

Hello @Episkopos, What you or I think of this, is of no consequence. It is how the Holy Spirit uses the term that matters. It is His Word, and therefore How He, Himself, uses it, is the only authoritative voice where it's meaning and relevant usage is concerned. So let His word speak, and...

Hello @Nancy, After all the various responses you have received, what are your thoughts concerning this question? :) in Christ Jesus Chris

'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' (Heb 11:1) Faith in what. @Mark? Faith is not a nebulous thing, it has substance, doesn't it? So what was the basis of Abel's faith, that made his offering acceptable: and if, as you conjecture, Cain's...

Hello @Lady Crosstalk, Thank you for responding as you have. :) In Numbers 29:3, the term is used in contrasting God's ways with that of man. spoken by Balaam to Balak, but with the words given to him by God Himself:- 'God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he...
