Sorry if I misunderstood you, @bbyrd009. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, Regarding a gap in the working out of God's purposes. I can with assurance refer to one in Luke 4:16-20:- And He came to Nazareth, .. where He had been brought up: .... and, as His custom was, ...... He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, ........ and stood up for to...

'We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:8) Hello @bbyrd009, As you will know, from the context, this is the conclusion of a larger argument, beginning at verse one, and makes perfect sense when looked at in...

Hello @Dave L, What 'Biblical' reference can you give to support what you maintain here, regarding either point one or two? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, I do not know where to place this entry, for it is just something I found which blessed me, and which I wanted to share. " Not able to sleep, in the early hours of the morning, I looked at my bookcase, and took out the two volumes of E.W. Bullinger's work on the figures of speech...

What other thread are you referring to, @farouk. In Christ Jesus Chris

'We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in...

Hello VictoryinJesus, In a forum situation, where debate takes place, issues are raised which can be unsettling, especially when strongly held opposing opinion clash. Into my mind comes Romans 14:1. 'Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.' Not that I am...

'For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.' (Ephesians 6:12) Hello CoreIssue, Spiritual warfare is indeed 'Biblical', as you say. However, the object...

Hello @CoreIssue, 'Calvanism?' - 'isms cause schisms: they lead to strife, and the believer is not to strive. Striving will not cure, it will only harden opinion. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there,@CoreIssue, In Christ Jesus there are no divisions: the redeemed can rest content that they are ONE - in Him. It is human reasoning that divides: also wrongly dividing the word of God, and imposing upon this present dispensation the practices of a dispensation that is passed. In...

Hello @farouk I started reading from Genesis chapter one this morning, and in relation to verse three, 'And God said ... ',the margin of my Bible referred me to Psalm 33:9, and reading it I thought of you, and wanted to share it with you. 'Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the...

Hello @Dave L, You need to actually read what is written: for the examples I gave were to show that God knows the secrets of men's hearts, and knows how one who had not heard the gospel message would respond had they done so. Please stop making unfounded accusations. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Dave L, This does not answer my question (#78) In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Dave L, In what way am I doing so? In Christ Jesus Chris

@H. Richard's OP:- 1 Cor 15:1-4 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you...

Hello @Dave L, I can see no relevance in what you say to the subject in hand. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @justbyfaith, Sorry to take so long responding to your post. Thank you for giving the link to your study on Romans (#66), in response to my post (#65) which I have read. It is a wonderful, though complex epistle, isn't it? * You responded to an entry I made to Dave L, in which I quoted...

Hello again, @OzSpen, I believe the reason why the words Sheol, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus are translated by the middle English word, 'Hell', is because of it's core meaning, which is, 'to hide away'. The dead are hidden away in the grave; covered up, out of the sight of man, so that the...

'Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.' (Ecc 12:7) Hello there, @OzSpen, Thank you for this further response. The spirit (or 'breath of life') will indeed return to God Who gave it. Those who die, 'in the Lord,' are spoken of...
