Hello Reggie, I can empathize with what you are saying. So much that the world considers to be advancement has a sting in it's tail. In this day we are beginning to count the cost of the advancements of the past, with plastic pollution and issues with global waste etc., along with the side...

Hello there, Knowledge brings responsibility. We have the means of saving life and of prolonging life, of improving the quality of life and of taking it away. What we do not know is the end from the beginning, unlike God Himself, Who has foreknowledge. In supporting a new-born by artificial...

Thank you, @Ac28, Yes, when Israel's prophetic clock begins to tick again all of these verses will find their fulfilment. I thank you for this explanation. I have always understood that the fulfilment of these verses depended upon Israel's repentance, and acknowledgment of Christ as their...

Hello @Ac28, Would you please explain, or give references, either biblical or expository, for your words (highlighted) in the first paragraph concerning Elijah. I ask, not because I doubt your words, but because I want to understand. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

Thank you for this @Ac28. Very helpful. Praise God! In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @GodsGrace, The Greek word in Strong's concordance is 'Tartaroo' (Str.No. G5020), in regard to 2 Peter 2:4; and that is the only place the word is translated in Scripture. Tartarus is a word used in Greek mythology. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

‘For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, (tartaroo) and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world...

'For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of...

'We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.' (2 Cor. 5:8) With respect to you, @Frank Lee, your understanding of that verse needs to be reconsidered in the light of the context in which it comes, for Paul had no desire to be...

Hello Harvest 1874, I thank you for responding with grace, and for taking the time to lay out an informed response, that I can consider with an open Bible and a willing heart. At my initial reading I do not see a conflict here between our two viewpoints. I will print your post and consider it...

Thank you, Enoch111, Now I need to search and see what each one means in theory and practice. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello Brakelite, Yes, we are to weigh all doctrine against the measure of the Word of God, I agree. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello again, Nancy, I see what you are saying, but is it not a matter of 'standing', of the standing of mankind before God, outside of Christ, regardless of 'state', manner of life or personal choices. As one who is saved by grace, my 'standing' before God is one of absolute acceptance, the...

Hello Nancy, Thank you for your question. It is not a matter of conception, but of being in Adam. In Adam all die, in Christ shall all be made alive.(1 Cor.15:22). At the moment I am thinking of the illustration of Jacob and Esau, found in Rom 9:11 relating to election, '(For the children...

Hello Nancy, I don't know what TULIP stands for I'm afraid. Free will has nothing to do with this, for the dead who died without ever having heard the gospel of grace, or being able to seek God on the basis of what the heavens declare concerning Him, 'His eternal power and Godhead' (Psa.91:1...

'... our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in His times He shall shew, .. Who is the blessed and only Potentate, .... the King of kings, ...... and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, .. dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; .... whom no man hath seen, nor can see: ...... to...

'These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.' (Act 17:11) Hello @Mjh29, * I agree that the Scriptures should take precedence over our own personal opinions or...

'The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.' (Psa 12:6-7) Hello there, How this thread must grieve the Holy Spirit. God know those who are His...

Hello there, The knowledge of God is to be obtained, not by reasoning, but by revelation; not by intellectual attainment, but by God's gift. Our salvation was wrought for us by God the Father, brought to us by God the Son, and worked in us by God the Holy Spirit. It is a salvation secured by...

Hello Mary, If we continue to discuss abortion, we will derail the subject of the thread, which is,' "Christians" Attacking and Slandering Christians What is more Pathetic??'. I thought the subject of abortion was only raised as an example of a subject which can create strong feelings within...
