@WillieT @LoveBeacon @farouk Thank you. I hope to come back to this. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Willie T, Justification by faith alone. By God's grace, In Christ Jesus Chris

'After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. .. Thy kingdom come. .... Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. .. And forgive us our debts, .... as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation...

'And it came to pass, .. that, as He was praying in a certain place, .... when He ceased, ...... one of His disciples said unto Him, ........ "Lord, teach us to pray, .......... as John also taught his disciples." And He said unto them, .. "When ye pray, say, .... Our Father which art in...

Hello there, Of all the gospels, the one written by John is the one which most closely represents truth for today, and has been used most effectively to save many a soul. However, the Lord's supper is notable, in that gospel, for it's absence. It is omitted by John. Why should that be? If it...

Hello @farouk I thank you for your response, but please forgive me, for I don't understand why worship 'in spirit and in truth' should be particularly applicable to the Lord's supper: for worship 'in spirit and in truth' is the only way we can worship God isn't it, at any time. I thought you...

Hello @farouk, Why do you think John 4 is a good passage to read at the Lord's supper in particular? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @farouk, Oh, yes! How wonderful it is to read that testimony to the operation of God among us: how privelaged we are to be able to witness it by means of the written Word, and to receive that word by faith. The words that God has spoken to us by His Son, they are spirit, they are life: we...

Hello @farouk, My one daughter had a tattoo upon her back, and sought desperately later to have it removed, but without success. Choices made when young, don't look so good when you are older and wiser, when the skin looses it's elasticity, becoming thin and wrinkled. It is not so easy to grow...

'There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. .. For he that is entered into his rest, .... he also hath ceased from his own works, ...... as God did from His. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, .. lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of...

'Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.' (Pro 3:5-6) 'Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto...

'But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me:... ' (John 15:26) Hello @101G, The answer to your question is clear from this verse, and I have no problem with that. I thank...

'But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.' (Joh 4:23-24) Hello @101G, God is Spirit, (not 'a'...

'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, .... because it seeth Him not, ...... neither knoweth Him: but ye know him; .. for He dwelleth with you, and shall...

Hello @AlertChristian, Would you please explain why you believe that I have missed the point? Surely a life lived, in which the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is constantly upon your lips, His will being your acknowledged purpose: has to count more than the mere spoken word; for it is an...

Hello @AlertChristians, I thank you for your OP. Acknowledging Christ before our fellow men is indeed important. The best means of acknowledgement though, is a life lived to the glory of God, I feel. Into my mind comes the family of a dear friend of mine, who loved the Lord, and sought to...

'Wait on the Lord: Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: Wait, I say, upon the Lord.' (Psalm 27:14) 'For our conversation is in heaven; .. From whence also we look for the Saviour; .... The Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, .. that it may be fashioned like...

'Let no man deceive you by any means: .. for that day shall not come, .... except there come a falling away first, ...... and that man of sin be revealed, ........ the son of perdition; .......... Who opposeth and exalteth himself ............ above all that is called God, or that is...

Hello @H Richard, I agree that the failure to discern between the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ, which was the gospel of the Kingdom: delivered to 'the lost sheep of the house of Israel' to Whom He came; and the gospel of the grace of God delivered through Paul; has muddied the waters for...

Hello there, The sad thing is that while there is a failure to acknowledge that a change of administration took place at the end of the Acts period, issues such as this will continue to be debated. Spiritual gifts were anticipatory of millennial blessings, and were confirmatory: intended to...
