Hello @justbyfaith, Please read Romans chapter two. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Dave L, You have obviously not read my posts with any degree of attention, if you can assert these things of me. I leave you in God's hands. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello again, @Dave L, I will let the Word of God itself be the Arbiter on this matter, for you will not be convinced by any words of mine. I do not know what verse in John 10 you are referring to, and cannot really understand your reasoning in this post to respond to it adequately. So I will...

Hello @Dave L, All have the potential of being atoned for by Christ, for the atonement was made for all men, without exception; but not all will receive it, for the Word of God will not be believed by all. Those referred to in Romans chapter two knew nothing of new birth, for if they had they...

'For whom He did foreknow, .. He also did predestinate .... to be conformed to the image of His Son, ...... that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, .. them He also called: .... and whom He called, ...... them He also justified: ........ and...

Hello @Dave L. In Romans chapter two, it is revealed that there are those, who though never having heard the gospel, have sought to please God, these will be judged according to their works, in that day when Christ will judge the secrets of men's hearts. ' ... ... the day of wrath and...

'Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, .. "If ye continue in My Word, .... then are ye My disciples indeed; ...... And ye shall know the truth, ........ and the truth shall make you free." They answered Him, .. "We be Abraham's seed, .... and were never in bondage to any man...

'Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was...

Hello @Dave L, Bond-service, is service freely given, an enslavement of one's own choosing, out of love for the one submitted to. A bondage of one's own choosing, the submission of one's own free will into the master's service. The example being that of Christ Himself in Philippians 2, In...

'But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant (doulos = bond-slave) of the Lord .. must not strive; .... but be gentle unto all men, ...... apt to teach, patient, ........ in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God...

'Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: .. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: .... But made Himself of no reputation, ...... and took upon him the form of a servant, (doulos = bond-slave) ........ and was made in the likeness of men...

'Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;... ' (Eph 2:19) Hello @Dave L, A Bond-slave does choose to be a slave of his master: for he when given his freedom, chooses to enter the service of his master once...

'Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power:'...

'Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the...

Hello there, We were saved by grace: by God's unmerited favour. We heard the Word of God concerning His Son, and faith took root within us, and quickened us into life. Praise God! In Christ Jesus Chris

A big sisterly hug to you @justbyfaith, In Christ Jesus Chris

'The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.' (Psalm 119:130) 'It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.' (John 6:63) 'So then faith cometh by hearing, and...

'For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also...

* I agree, @Enoch111, The wording of verse 40 is interesting isn't it? For it tells us exactly when those who believe on God's Own Beloved Son, will be resurrected: - 'at the last day'. How wonderful, that we, like David can say, 'As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be...

Hello @Enoch111, I have already addressed the rich man and Lazarus in a previously post, and to repeat it again is futile. Hell is the grave, the place of the dead. our Lord was quickened into life and rose from the grave. Praise His Holy Name! In Christ Jesus Chris
