Hello @bbyrd009, I don't quite understand what you mean by this, but if this is also in reply to my reply#37, (quoted at the head of the previous entry) then those things that I listed are the possession of every believer in Christ, and so we are justified in appropriating them to ourselves and...

------------------------------------------------------------- 'The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. ... "' Hello @bbyrd009, Forgive me for missing this entry of yours. I think you were responding to my...

'Eat of Him' - How? * By knowing and acknowledging that the sacrificial work of God, in Christ, is sufficient for us, by His grace: that His work is a finished work, in both word and deed. That we are, in Him, indeed 'holy and without blame' before the Father: for 'our sins have been forgiven...

'And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: .. for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, .. that the power of Christ may rest upon me. .... Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, * There is no possibility of you being cursed: and you have, in Christ Jesus, been wondrously blessed; but unlike the children of Israel who were blessed 'in basket and store', or in regard to the substance of their earthly lives: with good harvests etc., (Deut. 28:5...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, With respect, what has the quotation of these verses done to further your understanding regarding the verse in Revelation 17:16, which was your reason for initially enquiring as to the meaning of the words, 'and shall eat her flesh'. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi there, @VictoryinJesus, The context of the reference in Revelation was one of destruction, and it refers to a city, so it cannot be taken literally. It must mean to consume or destroy utterly. In regard to the word of the Lord concerning Himself, it has quite a different context, such as...

'Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the...

'And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.' Hello @VictoryinJesus, I think it simply means to 'consume' this city called 'Babylon', and to destroy it utterly. In...

Hi @bbyrd009, Only if taken out of context. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @bbyrd009, In Ezra the company are spoken of as a remnant in Ezra 9:8, a remnant of those who had been taken into captivity in Persia. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello again, @bbrd009, An interesting thought, again. The reference you give (from the NIV) is Ezra 9:9:- 'Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life (revival) to rebuild the...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, I have followed this thread with interest, and happily find myself agreeing with so many points raised. I have also enjoyed the interplay (between you and I) in other threads. I believe that it was because God foreknew that we would believe, that He predetermined us for...

Interesting thought, @bbyrd009, Why should the regenerated need revival? Yet refreshment is sometimes required, isn't it? For unless each individual member of a congregation is stayed upon God and fellowshipping with Him, through His Word and in prayer, then the community can become...

Hi @bbyrd009, 'An indictment?' Hmm interesting. (Meaning to charge with an offence). What was the offence? It must be found in the words of John 4:20, 'The woman saith unto Him, "Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain;(Gerazim) and ye say, that in...

Hello both, They do not allow blood transfusions, because of the verse in Leviticus 17:10-14, is that not the case? In Christ Jesus Chris

'Let all the earth fear Jehovah; let all the people of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood. Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He breaks the plots of the people. The counsel of Jehovah stands forever, the thoughts of His...

Hello, @Frank Lee, I am not a Jehovah's Witness, but must contradict you, for the portion of Scripture from which their objection comes, is found in Leviticus, and the law of God regarding the eating of blood, and does not have reference to the blood of the Saviour, except in type. It was part...

'And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, .. and began to speak in other languages, .... as the Spirit gave them utterance. And dwelling at Jerusalem there were Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven. But this sound occurring, the multitude came together and were confounded...

'You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.' (John 4:22) Hello @Enoch111, During the period covered by the book of Acts, salvation was of the Jew: and gentiles were grafted into the Olive Tree of Israel; it was not until the end of that period...
