'He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.' (2 Kings 18:4) Hi @bbyrd009, Hezekiah, called the brasen...

Hello again, @farouk, Yes, I love that verse (Deuteronomoy 29:29) Where is your avatar, @farouk? :)

Hello @Episkopos, Are you speaking from personal experience? For I do not recognise this as a description of someone who has been saved by grace, through faith in the sacrificial work of Christ on their behalf. In Christ Jesus Chris

Yes, Farouk, To both points. :)

Hello @Lady Crosstalk, You have addressed this to bbyrd009: but I hope you won't mind my considering this with you a moment. You say, (quote) 'He called Himself 'Son of Man' but then, that was a title for a prophet.' Would you please tell me what has led you to believe that this was a title...

Hello @CoreIssue, I was not aware that we were discussing the law, or new testament teaching. Also, for me there is no problem in using the capital letter, or not doing so, for God the Holy Spirit is the author of the written Word, and is the Living Word in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ...

Hello @CoreIssue, God has told us all we need to know, hasn't He? It doesn't matter that we do not know certain things. I just praise God for what He has revealed. In Christ Jesus Our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

Hello there, @bbyrd009, What verse are you considering there? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @CoreIssue, No, they did not have the written record that we have in God's Word, but we do, and we are called upon to believe what He says within it, and the record given concerning Abel is sufficient for us to know, that his offering was made on the ground of faith. He had believed God...

Hello @bbyrd009, Why should we consider them to be anything other than literal, when it is a matter of written record? In Christ Jesus Chris

'For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world...

Hello again, @CoreIssue, On the contrary, if you believe that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, then God must have told them the acceptable manner of approach to Himself, otherwise Abel could not be said to have acted in faith, by offering a lamb. Neither would there be a...

'By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.' (Hebrews 11:4) Hello @CoreIssue It is not speculation to believe what God said concerning Abel in the...

'And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering ['Hb.minchah' - H4503] unto the LORD.' (Genesis 4:3) Hello @Nancy, The offering was a 'Minchah' (H4503 -' offering' ) - or the 'meat' or 'meal' offering, which was used to gain access and...

'By faith - Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.' (Hebrews 11:4) Hello @Nancy, The verse (above) tells us that Abel offered his sacrifice, 'by...

Hello there, @Phoneman, Re. Resurrection. I believe that the resurrection hope of the Church which is the Body of Christ, which is 'the fulness of Him that filleth all in all', is not that expressed by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, of being, 'caught away into the air': but that it's members...

Hello @marks, In Romans 1:16 - 5:11, sins are dealt with as the fruit of the root: Sin (the root) is dealt with in Romans 5:12 - 8:39; and we are shown how sins (the fruit) are dealt with and 'put away', and how God can be Just and the Justifier of the sinner who is saved on faith-principle...

Hello VictoryinJesus, We agree that the two natures abide in the child of God. Yes? The one ending in death, the other attaining unto the resurrection of the dead; and being clothed upon by life, by receiving a resurrection body, or a spiritual body; until which time being hid with Christ in...

Response to replies #21 and #22 - VictoryinJesus Hi @VictoryinJesus, I hope you don't mind, but before answering your two last entries, I feel it is necessary to clarify what Scripture says concerning the inner man and outer man, for I feel that we are talking at cross purposes. * The first...

'For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ...
